Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to alter this function in the blog module, so that it displays a custom field from the user's profile instead of the user name of the user: <?php function blog_view($node, $teaser = FALSE, $page = FALSE) { if ($page) { // Breadcrumb navigation $breadcrumb[] = array('path' => 'blog', 'title' => t('Blogs')); $breadcrumb[] = array('path' => 'blog/'. $node->uid, 'title' => t("@name's blog", array('@name' => $node->profile_displayName))); $breadcrumb[] = array('path' => 'node/'. $node->nid); menu_set_location($breadcrumb); } return node_prepare($node, $teaser); } ?> Any help would be great!

Yes, you can use hook_view() (the code from the blog module is an implementation of hook_view).
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_view/5
You just create the breadcrumb array the way it does below, replacing the appropriate element with the custom field data. I'm not sure if custom fields become part of the $user object, so you might have to query the database to get the field you want. For instance, if you were using the Profile module, you would need to query profile_fields and profile_values to get what you want and then replace the user name with the custom field in the $breadcrumb array.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply. I tired to change it to the following:
function getUserDisplayName($number) { $fieldId = 19; $result = db_query("SELECT p.value FROM {profile_values} p WHERE p.fid = $fieldId AND p.uid = $number"); while ($nameQuery = db_fetch_object($result)) { $displayName = $nameQuery; } return $displayName; } /** * Implementation of hook_view(). */ function blog_view($node, $teaser = FALSE, $page = FALSE) { if ($page) { // Breadcrumb navigation $breadcrumb[] = array('path' => 'blog', 'title' => t('Blogs')); $number = $node->uid; $breadcrumb[] = array('path' => 'blog/'. $node->uid, 'title' => t(getUserDisplayName($number) . "'s blog"); $breadcrumb[] = array('path' => 'node/'. $node->nid); menu_set_location($breadcrumb); } return node_prepare($node, $teaser); } But it still isn't working.
What am I doing wrong?

Hey,
For anyone's who's interested I managed to get it working.
Here's the functions I changed/added to the blog module:
function getUserDisplayName($number) { $fieldId = 19; $result = db_query("SELECT p.value FROM {profile_values} p WHERE p.fid = $fieldId AND p.uid = $number"); while ($nameQuery = db_fetch_object($result)) { $displayName = $nameQuery->value; } return $displayName;
}
/** * Implementation of hook_view(). */ function blog_view($node, $teaser = FALSE, $page = FALSE) { if ($page) { // Breadcrumb navigation $breadcrumb[] = array('path' => 'blog', 'title' => t('Blogs')); $tmpnumber = array_sum(array($node->uid)); $userDisplay = getUserDisplayName($tmpnumber); $breadcrumb[] = array('path' => 'blog/'. $node->uid, 'title' => t($userDisplay . "'s blog")); $breadcrumb[] = array('path' => 'node/'. $node->nid); menu_set_location($breadcrumb); } return node_prepare($node, $teaser); }
