Updating custom Views plugins for D8
by Christoph Burschka 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

Hey everyone, seeing as Views for D8 is now well on its way and appears to be mostly (or even fully) updated to the new core plugin system, it should theoretically be possible to update plugins written for Views 7.x-3.x to run on Views 8.x-3.x. The only problem is that I can find zero documentation on how to do that. This (http://blog.erdfisch.de/2012/09/hands-introduction-drupal-8-plugin-system) comes closest, but it only explains how to create an empty style plugin, not how to make it do the same stuff an existing D7 plugin does. Anything? Or am I way too early with this? Best regards, -Chris

File upload and convert
by Chris Miller 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

Hi Folks, I have a content type with TWO file fields, in which I will designate TWO PDFs. On upload completion I want to run something like: "exec(pdftk f1.pdf background f2.pdf output f1.pdf)". This will "brand" f1.pdf. I don't see any standard mechanism and so I'm not sure how to go about this. I have a general understanding, but that doesn't answer the question. I am sure I don't want to intercept all possible uploads; just the uploads from this specific content type. So, can I define a file upload hook which is scoped to this specific content type? I haven't seen anything that makes me believe I can. Can I create a custom file field to use any time I need to perform a conversion? Can my custom file field "extend" the existing file field, so I don't have to port improvements/bugfixes to my custom file field version? So many questions... (-: Thanks for the help, Chris.

Ubercart taxes cont'd.
by Dayton Perkins 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Try this again just in case... I have a few line item scripts that all happen on the checkout page. The one that is giving trouble is a coupon line item. * All line items are being saved to the database, as should be with hook-order. * All line items display, as they should but the tax is incorrect. * In admin/store/settings/taxes/1/edit I have a tax set up with a couple of rules. o These should have no bearing: one being the state for the tax and another being a user role (wholesalers are not taxed) . o Tax is applied to the Coupon line item on this page, as well as to the products. o I also set the Coupon line item type as taxable. It is correct on the checkout page(it is written in real time with line_item_add JS... However, when I output the order to screen in the uc_tax module... my line items aren't in the order yet. I am using hook order with the $op of "save". So I tried playing with line item weights: to try to get the total line item after my coupon. If I use the following, it throws a fatal error on the review page load. static $lines; $lines = module_invoke_all('line_item', NULL); // this produces the names in the next array to which I added weights... Actually re-ordered them. I think "total" was 2nd or 3rd. $l_item_ids = array( 'subtotal' => 0, 'generic' =>1, 'coupon' => 2, 'free_offer' => 3, 'shipping' => 4, 'handling' => 5, 'total' => 6 ); foreach( $lines as $i => $line ){ foreach($l_item_ids as $id => $weight){ if( $id === $line['id'] ){ $lines[$i]['weight'] = $weight; // uc_li_tax_subtotal_weight // variable_set('uc_line_items_'. $lines[$i]['id'] .'_weight', $weight); } } } So nothing is working and I have no idea where to turn. Seems like line item weights would be taken into consideration. Hints anyone? -- /Kindest regards,/ /*Dayton Perkins*/ Dayton Perkins Good News Design Intelligent Web Programming for Business Dayton Perkins: Recent American Expat in Hong Kong dayton(a)goodnewsdesign.com <mailto:dayton@goodnewsdesign.com> dayton(a)goodnewsdesign.com <mailto:dayton@goodnewsdesign.com> Phone Me U.S Phone (rings me in HK) 616-795-9039 http://goodnewsdesign.com GND Logo <http://goodnewsdesign.com><http://goodnewsdesign.com>

Ubercart problem
by Dayton Perkins 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

I have a few line item scripts that all happen on the checkout page. The one that is giving trouble is a coupon line item. * The line item is being saved to the database, as it should be with hook-order. * All line items display, as they should on the confirm page, and charge properly, but the tax is incorrect. * In admin/store/settings/taxes/1/edit I have a tax set up with a couple of rules. o These should have no bearing: one being the state for the tax and another being a user role (wholesalers are not taxed) . o Tax is applied to the Coupon line item on this configuration page, as well as to the products. These are the only applications of the tax. Whether I store a negative value or positive, it doesn't affect the tax that is calculated. It is always calculated on the subtotal, which is the total of the products. This includes visiting the confirmation page and going "back". Tax should be calculated on the subtotal minus the coupon amount. My only clue is that Ubercart Taxes might expect line items before the checkout page??? (All my line items are written on submit of the checkout page, before the confirm page. Should I write my line items on the checkout page with AJAX? That doesn't even make sense in the light of how hook_order is written. Sure appreciate any help if there is anyone who has a clue. This is a production site and I wouldn't blame my client for getting antsy. -- /Kindest regards,/ /*Dayton Perkins*/ Dayton Perkins Good News Design Intelligent Web Programming for Business Dayton Perkins: Recent American Expat in Hong Kong dayton(a)goodnewsdesign.com <mailto:dayton@goodnewsdesign.com> dayton(a)goodnewsdesign.com <mailto:dayton@goodnewsdesign.com> Phone Me U.S Phone (rings me in HK) 616-795-9039 http://goodnewsdesign.com GND Logo <http://goodnewsdesign.com><http://goodnewsdesign.com>

Manipulating the overlay's parent window
by Hadubard 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Hi, How can I control the overlay's parent window url from my custom module code? I'm inside a node form and I want to change the destination of the parent window without leaving the current overlay. Basic scenario: - node/%/edit is displayed in overlay - user hit's submit - form is rebuild, user stays in the overlay but I want to make sure that once he closes the overlay (without any further form submission) he will be seeing a specific page I can't seem to find a way to do this. When I try to use the $form_state['redirect'] property with an array(url, array('fragment'=> '...')) then the fragment get's stripped, see this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7691460/using-fragment-in-drupal-7-form-… Is there any way I can control the parent windows url from inside my module? By setting an undocumented javascript setting maybe? thanks and best regards, hadubard
