Hi, I am a newbie with Drupal and have set up Drupal 7 on my local host (xampp) with the recipe module.
I've added some test recipes and when i go to view them I get the following warning:
Strict warning: Only variables should be passed by reference in theme_recipe_summary()
How can I get rid of this warning?
Thanks in advance,
PS

pollysue, getting started with Drupal can be daunting, but it's worth it. I don't know enough to help with this specific problem based on what you posted, but I can tell you how I find help in cases like this.

I copy a section of the exact warning or error message, cutting it off before or after the places where it mentions paths specific to your site. Then I paste that exact information, inside of quotes, into the Drupal site search or Google. (I add the word Drupal when I use Google). Sometimes I add other things I know are pertinent outside the quotes. If that doesn't work I take out the quotes.

You should also look in your error log for specific errors to search for.

This way you can usually flush out the clues you need to solve even extremely messy problems. It will often pull help out of the module queues where you otherwise wouldn't see it, or help you figure out which procedures, code, module, or combination of modules are causing the problem. If nothing else, it should give you enough information about your problem to decide where you can best post your questions so the right people will see them.
