php code is not evaluated

Looks like we should not try to validate the number of titles and paths if php is being used to set the breadcrumb titles or paths. Its causing more trouble than its preventing.

Here is a patch which removes the validation code when php is being used...it would be a great help if you could test it on the latest 6.x.2.x-dev and see if it helps.

If you are entering the php code for both titles and paths within the title field, then you need to return an array like this:
Titles:

<?php return array('titles' => array('Title1', 'Title2', '[title]'), 'paths' => array('path1','path2', 'node/[nid]')); ?>

In this case you would leave the paths field on the form blank. Also, be sure you are including the php tags (it seems like you are).

If you are entering the php code separately in the titles and paths, then it would be like

Titles:

<?php return array('Title1', 'Title2', '[title]'); ?>

Paths:

<?php return array('path1','path2', 'node/[nid]'); ?>

The only reason that I can think of for the code not to be evaluated would be if the first 5 characters of the titles and paths field were not "<?php".

If you are using something like fckeditor or another wysiwyg editor, be sure that you turn it off for these fields (switch to plain text) so it is not inserting paragraph tags or other html before the php tags (you would see these html tags stored in the custom breadcrumbs database tables).

Hopefully its something like this. Otherwise, include your titles and paths field exactly as they appear for your breadcrumb using the format that I did above, and I'll have another look.

The patch works OK, thank you. I'd suppose applying it to the dev branch and including in the next release.

Marking this as RTBC based on the comments of marrch_caat and FiNeX. FiNeX, if you are still having issues with php code evaluation, please see #4 above and provide more information to allow others to help troubleshoot.

Committed to 6.x-2.x-dev http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=334740

I'm having this problem and I'm pulling my hair out. Really want/ need for this function to work so I'm committed to fixing it and appreciate the ability to do this at all, but I think there's a legitimate problem ... I'm using plain text and the most simplified php possible for proof of concept and it won't evaluate ... outputting the code as a string as described above.

I also have been playing around with returning TRUE or ignoring the 'Breadcrumb visibility' field and that impacts whether a breadcrumb is displayed at all. If TRUE nothing displays.

@Equinger,

Please open a new issue so we can troubleshoot this. In the new issue give all the details for how you have setup your custom breadcrumb, including visibility, titles and paths (what php code are you using?). Are you sure the php code is correct and returning an array of titles/paths? Also, what type of custom breadcrumb (node, views, paths, taxonomy, etc.) and on what type of pages is it not working. With that information I should be able to help.

Thanks

Alright ... I figured out the deal that myself and others are having in this current version. haha - surprisingly fast for being pretty frustrated 10 mins ago or whatever it was.

If you are having a problem with this, it's because your code is on multiple lines so Custom Breadcrumbs acts as though it is a string on each line and the php is never evaluated.

Perhaps Custom Breadcrumbs could put the code on a single line if it detects php.

Thanks for looking at this so quick MGN! Really appreciate that, but I'm pretty sure what I described is the problem people are having ... presumptuous, perhaps.

Can you give an example of your php code that didn't work, and then show how you corrected it?
