Return content type

Question

With core search, in template_preprocess_search_result() I could access $vars['result']['type']. Switching over to Search API Solr, how can I access node type and send it to the theme? Content type is being indexed, but I'm not sure how to return it with the result.

Answer 1

Using Search API pages, I switched to template_preprocess_search_api_page_result(&$vars), and can achieve this by getting the nid.

$node = node_load($vars['id']);
$vars['pass_to_template'] = node_type_get_name($node);
