this function caches the output, so it doesnt work if I want to change dynamically between two template files. For example user-profile.tpl.php and user-profile-project.tpl.php

Code:

function hook_theme_registry_alter(&$theme_registry) { $tmp1 = arg(0); $tmp2 = arg(1); $tmp3 = arg(2); if ($tmp1 == "user" && is_numeric($tmp2) && !$tmp3) { $user = user_load($tmp2); $roles = $user->roles; if (in_array('project', $roles)) { $theme_registry['user_profile']['template'] = 'user-profile-project'; } } }

So how can I do this differently?

Implement hook_user_profile_preprocess() and add your template suggestion as last entry of $variables['theme_hook_suggestions']. Instead of using arg() as you are doing, use menu_get_object('user', 1).

hook_theme_registry_alter() is not good because:

  • Drupal caches what it gets from hook_theme_registry_alter()

     // _theme_registry_build() if ($cached = cache_get('theme_registry:build:modules')) { $cache = $cached->data; }

  • It is never invoked for each page request Drupal gets; so you could not for which user the user profile is.

Then, the Drupal way would probably be to check the user has a specific permission rather than a specific role.

if ($account = menu_get_object('user', 1) && user_access('your permission', $account)) { $variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'your template suggestion'; }
