I want to do something that would seem rather simple: remove the link from the title of the book block that displays when a user is browsing a book. I could not find a way to do that other than to change the following code from the book module, line 216
$block['subject'] = theme('book_title_link', $data['link']);
changed to:
$block['subject'] = $title;

I'd rather not hack core to accomplish what I'm trying to do, but I can't find another way to do it.

The reason for trying to do this is that I'm using a javascript that replaces the block titles with an image, and it won't work if there are links in the

tags.

Thanks.

You need to override the theme function for book_title_link.

Copy theme_book_title_link() function from the book module, and paste it into your themes template.php file.

Rename the function to YOUR_THEME_NAME_book_title_link, or phptemplate_book_title_link

Edit at will.

Oh, and empty your cache at admin/settings/performance or equivalent. Always, always, always do this when things are not going as you expect. It can save a lot of headaches.

There does not appear to be a way to actually delete the link and keep the title using that function. I tried that first, but was unable to do anything with it. If you (or anyone) can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate the help.

function YOUR_THEME_book_title_link($link) {
return $link['title'];
}

Hmmm..... I thought I had tried that and that it hadn't worked. Maybe I forgot to clear the cache after I made the changes

In any case, thanks.

Thanks that worked for me:

function mythemename_book_title_link($link) {
  return $link['link_title'];
}
