Comment on Passing an argument to a Block View in Drupal 6 by Corrie Potter

Great post. I have been banging my head on the ground trying to figure this out and it was something completely simple and was a simple miss read of the directions. Make sure that you DO NOT have brackets surrounding your code. It will cause it to not work! Thanks again!

Comment on Changing the ‘Home’ breadcrumb in Drupal 6 by Gareth S Price

Here’s what I ended up with, based on the code above:

function phptemplate_breadcrumb($breadcrumb) {
if(!empty($breadcrumb)) {
$breadcrumb[0] = l(variable_get(’site_name’, ‘Home’), ”);
}
return theme_breadcrumb($breadcrumb);
}

I made a temporary solution that works for what I need but hurts a little. After incorporating your suggestions, I set the block view to show at:
exhibitors/exhibit-list
exhibitors/exhibit-list/*
Under URL aliases, I created 26 aliases (which may grow if we get exhibitors that start with numbers), like this:
node/XX
exhibitors/exhibit-list/c
That works for now, but if there’s a better solution, let me know.

I’m almost ready to post an ‘AWESOME!’ comment, but am not quite there just yet. I have a node located at exhibitors/exhibit-list that has some pdf attachments, copy, etc. (so I can’t create a page view here as non-webby people maintain the content) I also have a block view assigned to the same page/path that shows a list of exhibitors, all of them to start. Now, if I enter a URL like:

exhibitors/exhibit-list/b

I get a page not found, because I’m guessing the path is different now. With some minor adjustments to the code I have everything working fine in the views preview. Arguments are being understood there thanks to your help!

Any thoughts on what I might be missing? Do I need to set up something special in pathauto? Thanks for your advise in advance!

Hey, Great man, you helped me out!!!

Just wanted to add some notes.
If pathauto is not there try simple one :

$path = explode(’/', $_GET['q']);
return $path[1];

and also for the folks : when you copy & paste please look for the quotes, they might be rendered in differant way for i18n.

Rest is fine work! I checked it on Drupal 6 & basic view.

I can get the block to accept the arguments, but whenever I try to use mysite.com/projects/2009 (where 2009 is the argument), I just get a 404 page.

Hasn’t anybody else hit this problem?

Right now I just have the block display on every page, so even on the 404 page I see that it’s accepting the arguments.

How should I implement this method without getting 404 pages?
