Thank you John, i am sorry. I wasn't trying to be dense on purpose. Things work now ... matt On Saturday 31 October 2009, John VanDyk wrote:
Matt, take a look at the Note on page 182: "Variables are only aggregated and passed into themable items that are implemented as template files. Variables are not passed into themable items implemented as theme functions."
Thus, if you do not have a breadcrumb.tpl.php file in your theme, that is why it is not happening for you.
Also, the Note on page 181 warns: "Don't use Garland as the active theme..."
If you do use Garland, you'll have to comment out the phptemplate_breadcrumb() function in Garland's template.php, as it is taking precedence.

Hi,
I tried the support forum first, but no one seems to answer there, so forgive me if this is thread is misplaced.
I am trying a simple thing: I declare (straight from pro drupal development):
function phptemplate_preprocess_breadcrumb(&$variables) { drupal_set_message(print_r("some message,true)); }
After clearing the cache, i also check the theme-registry (via the developer module) and it is listed under breadcrumb-
phptemplate_preprocess_breadcrumb
as: 2 (String, 33 characters ) phptemplate_preprocess_breadcrumb | (Callback) phptemplate_preprocess_breadcrumb();
However, it is NEVER called as far as i can tell. Variables set in there are always empty and message set as shown above never show either.
I am sorry to bother the list with this, but WHAT am i doing wrong?
thanks matt
