How to remove "blogs » user's blog" from breadcrumbs
Note: the better way to avoid this problem is to not use the blog module. Blog module is intended for a site with multiple blogs. For single-user blogs, using story or a custom content type is sufficient.
I'm the only one blogging at my website, so at my site the "blogs » user's blog" part of the breadcrumb is redundant (and a bit confusing).
To remove it, I've added this to template.php:
<?php
/**
* Remove links to individual blog from breadcrumbs.
*
* (This is an uggly solution, prone to break since it identifies blog nodes by matching a string in
* the breadcrumb. Better would be to check if node type is 'blog' But I don't know how to get that info here.
*
* Also note that it does not change the menu, so "my blog" is still present there. (I suspect that 'menu_set_location'
* (as used in blog.module blog_view) may be the function to use to change this.))
*/
function phptemplate_breadcrumb() {
$breadcrumb = drupal_get_breadcrumb();
if ($breadcrumb[1] == l('blogs',t('blog'))){ // For blog nodes...
unset($breadcrumb[2]); // ...remove "user's blog"...
unset($breadcrumb[1]); // ...and "blogs".
}
// Now call the original theme with this modified breadcrumb array, to get formatting.
return (theme_breadcrumb($breadcrumb));
}
?>
For Drupal 6 the function
For Drupal 6 the function could look like this:
<?php/**
* Return a themed breadcrumb trail.
*
* @param $breadcrumb
* An array containing the breadcrumb links.
* @return a string containing the breadcrumb output.
*/
function phptemplate_breadcrumb($breadcrumb) {
if (!empty($breadcrumb)) {
if ($breadcrumb[1] == l('Blogs',t('blog'))){ // For blog nodes...
unset($breadcrumb[2]); // ...remove "user's blog"...
unset($breadcrumb[1]); // ...and "blogs".
}
// Now call the original theme with this modified breadcrumb array, to get formatting.
return '<div class="breadcrumb">'. implode(' › ', $breadcrumb) .'</div>';
}
}
?>

Changed one line...
aarakast, thanks a lot. You saved my day.
I ran into the same issue with the trilingual website www.ArtAndAid.org. The above solution worked fine for English, but not for German. After I changed the 2nd if-statement to
if ($breadcrumb[1] == l(t('Blogs'), 'blog')){
it now seems to work fine for all languages. So the complete function in template.php now looks like this:
function phptemplate_breadcrumb($breadcrumb) {
if (!empty($breadcrumb)) {
if ($breadcrumb[1] == l(t('Blogs'), 'blog')){ // For blog nodes...
unset($breadcrumb[2]); // ...remove "user's blog"...
unset($breadcrumb[1]); // ...and "blogs".
}
// Now call the original theme with this modified breadcrumb array, to get formatting.
return '<div class="breadcrumb">'. implode(' › ', $breadcrumb) .'</div>';
}
}
Just use the Custom Breadcrumbs module!
