I want to display the breadcrumb and page title in my main content area.

For breadcrumb I used theme('breadcrumb', array('breadcrumb' => $breadcrumb));

What should I use for page title? I have tried theme('pagetitle', array('title' => $title_text)), but it is not working.

Also that how can I use the built in theme styles of paragraph tags or heading tags... e.g. I used the following for generating a table in built in theme style

theme('table', array('header' => $headers, 'rows' => $rows));

  • You don't need to use theme functions in your templates – Jaap Jansma Mar 10 '15 at 21:22
  • Thanx for your reply... You are right that we don't use the theme functions in our templates. Actually, I am making a module which doesn't have a template. In the module, I just want to display some data using my module which also modify the title of the page. And my theme display the title (sophistically) in a region named "pagetitle", I want to display the title in a different place on the page :) it's just a wish :) – Khurram Mar 11 '15 at 16:59

You're looking for the $title variable.

<?php print $title; ?>

Here is a list of all of the variables that are available to you in a theme file (for a page).

  • Thanx for your reply... "$title" actually returns the title text of the page... by the way, my theme is still not returning the title text when I use $title variable...:( Actually, there is a region defined in the theme "pagetitle" which displays the page title using some html and styles; I'm trying to get that region alongwith its title text and html styles using the method "theme(...)". I can get the breadcrumb alongwith html & styles with the method "theme(...)"... I hope you understand the question now. – Khurram Mar 11 '15 at 15:47
  • You can't magically call a theme function and hope it will do what you need it to do :) theme('pagetitle') is going to call theme_pagetitle() which I assume does exist. Take a look at hook_theme api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21system%21system.api.php/… – Scott Joudry Mar 11 '15 at 17:09
  • Another example is that if I want to add a pager, i can use this code: theme('pager'); – Khurram Mar 11 '15 at 17:12
  • right, pager and breadcrumb are already defined in Drupal, pagetitle is not – Scott Joudry Mar 11 '15 at 17:23
