get 'view my blog' out of breadcrumbs on node/add/blog

·

Hi all,

I'd like to rename my users' blog as "daily ideas" or "deep thoughts" or something like that. Things are going great with renaming (using taxonomy, pathauto, url aliases, token, and editing the blog.module and blog.pages.inc files, etc.).
Just having one problem: when a user goes to add a "deep thought" (node/add/blog), the breadcrumbs currently show up as "view my blog." I'd like to change that link to say "view all my deep thoughts" or something similar. It links to the blog/user-id link (which I've given a url alias to as deepthoughts/user-id using pathauto). I've looked all over throughout the blog.module, and the blog.pages.inc files, as well as trying to get the breadcrumb name-change to work through the custom breadcrumbs module too, but no luck yet. Any ideas?

I'm using Drupal 6.

Thanks,
Andrew G

There's no need to hack core

There's no need to hack core files. In fact it can land you in a heap of trouble.

To customise strings in Drupal you can:

  • enable the Locale and Content Translation modules (core modules).
  • or use the String Overrides module (available here).
  • or in the settings.php file for the site, right at the bottom, you can provide custom english strings.

Options 2 and 3 are the lightweight solutions and probably best for what you want to do.
