Google Conversion
by Lynn Stott (Stott Design) 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hi, Using Ubercart, I'm adding the Google adwords conversion code to the bottom of the checkout complete page. How would I capture the order total? And/or is there a better way to do this? I've used this method the past 3 months but got zero conversions. It seems this person has the same issue (see last comment)... http://www.ubercart.org/forum/support/1478/google_conversion_tracking  <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ var google_conversion_id = xxxxxxxx; var google_conversion_language = "en"; var google_conversion_format = "2"; var google_conversion_color = "ffffff"; var google_conversion_label = "WHb7CN6x6wEQtrzd-AM"; var google_conversion_value = 0; if (<?php echo $order->order_total; ?>) { google_conversion_value = <?php echo $order->order_total; ?>; } /* ]]> */ </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js "> </script> <noscript> <div style="display:inline;"> <img height="1" width="1" style="border-style:none;" alt="" src="http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/1058496054/?value= <?php echo $order->order_total; ?>&label=WHb7CN6x6wEQtrzd- AM&guid=ON&script=0"/> </div> </noscript> Thanks, Lynn

Drupal 7 API Change notification: Minor late changes
by Randy Fay 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

*We try to notify this list when API changes are made in Drupal 7, so contrib and custom developers have a chance to fix their code before they have the pain of figuring out why it's broken. (issue <http://drupal.org/node/364470#comment-3782022>) **Theming the "Submitted by" text for nodes and comments*:Previously in D7, the "Submitted by…" text for node and comment tpls was created with a t() function that resided directly in the node.tpl.php and comment.tpl.php. With this API change, the node's $name and $date variables are joined together inside template_preprocess_node() and printed as a $submitted variable in the node.tpl.php. The comment's $author and $created variables are now joined together inside template_preprocess_comment() and printed as a $submitted variable in the comment.tpl.php.* (issue <http://drupal.org/node/599706#comment-3781978>) **theme_menu_local_tasks() can now be changed with preprocess functions, allowing alteration of primary and secondary tabs. *Previously, theme_menu_local_tasks() took no $variables, so preprocess functions on it were impossible. Modules can now alter the primary and secondary tabs using preprocess or process functions. Themes that overrode the old definition of theme_menu_local_tasks() will need to update their theme declaration to mirror the changes to the default implementation in includes/menu.inc.* (issue <http://drupal.org/node/651240#comment-3769352>) **Modules can now react to a change in an entity. *The entity controllers resetCache() signature has been changed. * *Thanks, -Randy -- Randy Fay Drupal Module and Site Development randy(a)randyfay.com +1 970.462.7450

Is there a guide to working with languages in D7 ?
by Greenman 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

After working in D7 for a few months now, I have to admit to still being a little confused about when to use which language. Is there a write-up somewhere that can define some best practice ? I would like to make sure that I develop my site to work properly in multiple languages, but, the language system still feels like a blur. Anyway, this is just a little probe in the dark to see if someone else has done the hard work..... Peter

Re: [development] Drupal module for scraping information from an HTML/XML document
by Kevin O 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

I second the recommendation of using QueryPath. I use it almost exclusively along with drupal_http_request, though I use curl only in a few places (if you use curl I recommend http://drupal.org/project/curl for a dependency check). I'd really recommend though creating a custom module that uses the above and then has your logic for filtering in it, I've done this for about a dozen modules now. That said, there are some more modules available out there nowadays, such as using http://drupal.org/project/feeds_xpathparser with feeds http://drupal.org/project/feeds There are about a dozen more modules that will accomplish the goal though I haven't used them, but I went through and tried most of the methods out for some recent projects.

Pushing Views Changes
by nan wich 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

We encountered an issue yesterday that requires changing some Views. I don't have any heartburn about going into each region (dev, test, stage, prod) and manually changing them, but we are working to move our deployments into SVN (no choice there, please don't suggest another system). Certainly I know how to export and import, but not how that can be scripted. Does anyone do that kind of thing? If so, how?
