My intentions is to take a panelized page and use fields provided in that page to create class names on the body element.

When I preprocess the page, I don't get the original node information and can't pull the information I need.

My panelized page has 1 pane that has the node-> content pane in there.

If I could just get the NID of the current page, then it would be okay. But that doesn't even show up in the variables in the theme_preprocess_html() when a page has been panelized.

  • Nevermind, The solution that I needed was just to use arg() to get my node id and then I was able to use node_load() to get/check values I wanted to use for the classes_array to add to the body.

  • You could also use $node = menu_get_object('node'); to retrieve the loaded node from the menu router cache.

  • David, menu_get_object() was exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Solution was to use menu_get_object(). Here is a nice article outline usages of it as well.

$node = menu_get_object('node');

Thanks you David for the answer.

If the nid is in the URL, you can use the arg function to get it.

  • That's what I ended up doing. Works good enough for now, i'd still like to find a way to make it happen within the preprocess system either with a custom module or in template.php somehow. Just a common technique I find my self doing.

  • Well, you can call arg() from within YOURTHEME_preprocess_html. Also, the HTML template is really clueless about its contents, as the pieces are rendered before its containers. Maybe you should take a look at hook_page_alter.
