How to change the title of the 'View' local task?
ethanw - May 6, 2007 - 23:36
I'm trying to change the title of the 'View' tab to the name of the current page, using the sympal theme. I've tried to do this by setting a global with the new string value in _phptemplate_variables "page" case statement, but no dice: dumps of $GLOBALS show the new vars no where.
Does anyone have an idea how to set the title of a local task item to some property of the node being viewed?
Thanks,
Ethan
2 options
One option is to use the locale module: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/locale
Another option - you could intervene by overriding this theme function:
http://api.drupal.org/api/5/function/theme_menu_local_task
or try some creative use of: http://api.drupal.org/api/5/function/menu_set_location perhaps in conjunction with hook_nodeapi()
Thanks
Thanks for the pointers pwolanin.
I couldn't get theme_menu_local_task to do my bidding as I couldn't figure out how to get information on the current node/page while inside the function.
menu_set_location looks very promising though, and a VERY good function to know about.
Cheers.
