drupal's hook_preprocess_page not working as expected
- by Peter Carrero
i am having an issue where hook_preprocess_page 's changes to &$variables is not being rendered, even though it is the last item under $theme_registry['page']['preprocess functions']. logging contents of $variables to a file show the contents changed, but contents appear unchanged on the site. flushed all cache on drupal, flushed all browser caches and still the same result.
/**
* Implementation of hook_preprocess_page().
*/
function grinchlist_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
if (grinchlist_usercheck($variables['user']['uid'])) {
$variables['scripts'] = preg_replace('/<script[^>]*christmas_snow.*<\/script>/','',$variables['scripts']);
}
file_put_contents('/tmp/vars.txt',print_r($variables,true));
}
the /tmp/vars.txt shows the variables properly, but the browser still show the script being loaded.
this may be a silly example, but i've had this issue with the hook_preprocess_page in other instances and it would really help out to understand what is going on here...
thanks.
