Generate an array of suggestions from path arguments.

This is typically called for adding to the 'theme_hook_suggestions' or 'classes_array' variables from within preprocess functions, when wanting to base the additional suggestions on the path of the current page.

Parameters

$args: An array of path arguments, such as from function arg().

$base: A string identifying the base 'thing' from which more specific suggestions are derived. For example, 'page' or 'html'.

$delimiter: The string used to delimit increasingly specific information. The default of '__' is appropriate for theme hook suggestions. '-' is appropriate for extra classes.

Return value

An array of suggestions, suitable for adding to $variables['theme_hook_suggestions'] within a preprocess function or to $variables['classes_array'] if the suggestions represent extra CSS classes.

function theme_get_suggestions($args, $base, $delimiter = '__') {
    // Build a list of suggested theme hooks or body classes in order of
    // specificity. One suggestion is made for every element of the current path,
    // though numeric elements are not carried to subsequent suggestions. For
    // example, for $base='page', http://www.example.com/node/1/edit would result
    // in the following suggestions and body classes:
    //
    // page__node              page-node
    // page__node__%           page-node-%
    // page__node__1           page-node-1

        // (underscore).
        //
        // When we discover templates in @see drupal_find_theme_templates,
        // hyphens (-) are converted to underscores (_) before the theme hook
        // is registered. We do this because the hyphens used for delimiters
        // in hook suggestions cannot be used in the function names of the
        // associated preprocess functions. Any page templates designed to be used
        // on paths that contain a hyphen are also registered with these hyphens
        // converted to underscores so here we must convert any hyphens in path
        // arguments to underscores here before fetching theme hook suggestions
        // to ensure the templates are appropriately recognized.
