_preprocess_views_view not getting called

Question

Drupal 7, Views, Bootstrap theme sub theme in use

I have a views-view-table.tpl.php file in my sub theme and I am trying to preprocess some of the variables sent to this tpl. I created a function bootstrap_preprocess_views_view(&$vars) in my template.php and it is not getting called when I visit one of my views pages. Why would this be? Other preprocess functions are getting called from the same template file. I have tried flushing the cache.

function bootstrap_preprocess_views_view(&$vars) {
  dsm($vars);
  dsm("aaaa");
  die;
}

Answer 1

Ok. Then, we have to consider the following possibilities:

• The name of the function is bad typed. The structure for this case should be template_preprocess_HOOK(&$variables). The second part (_preprocces) and third part (_views_view) is well typed, but are you sure the first part is well typed? I assume that "bootstrap" is the name of your theme.

• This template hasn't been called when you visit the page, for example, if the pages have been stored in cache_page table for anonymous users. Another possibility could be that a different template has been called.
