How we can define constant in template.php for our theme

Question

I want to define some constant for my theme like theme path etc. How i can achieve that.

For module we can define like this

define(THEME_PATH, drupal_get_path('theme', 'xyz'));

But it is undefined in theme. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Answer 1

In the preprocess function (hook_preprocess_THEME), you can use this:

$variables['theme_path'] = drupal_get_path('theme', 'xyz');

Which you can then use as $theme_path in your template.
