Passing a client value back to Drupal
by jeff＠ayendesigns.com 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

It probably seems that I am using this list as my first line of defense, since it's been fairly inactive between my posts! But honestly, I have spent hours and hours and hours in issue queue, IRC (including ##javascript #jquery), Google, source code, handbook pages... I feel like the guy amongst the trees looking for a forest. Part of this is documented at http://drupal.org/node/1106358, for background...the last 2 or 3 responses being most applicable. Basically, I am doing a hook_form_alter and adding a #suffix to the node edit form body to provide a ctools link beneath the body box that results in a modal form being loaded during the creation of a node, if the link is clicked. This works fine, including putting a form in the modal window inside a table (yes, tabular data). The issue is that the contents of the body text area at that point are needed by my module in order to send back the proper content in the modal window, and I can't seem to get that information back to Drupal. I do -have- the data...I get it via js from the CKEDITOR object with a getdata() call. I suspect there is some way to then give it to ctools to pass back with its ajax call, but cannot find an example. What I've tried, in lieu of that, is to add it onto the url that the link is calling. I discovered that even though ctools is using a click handler to process the link, "onclick" still works, executes first, and does not interfere with or prevent ctools from performing its stuff once finished. So, I changed the link to have an onclick that simply puts the body text into this.sort, making the url be appended by ?body=xxxx I can't seem to discover if that's viable, and if so, what to do at that point, as it doesn't appear to be in $_GET, $_POST, or available by changing the ctools callback page arguments from array(1) to array(1,2).

"/admin/build/block": I would like to vary the URL of the "Home" link depending on the current page URL.
by John Mitchell 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Within the following url "/admin/build/block" I have a region called "Header Top" and within it I have 3 blocks assigned to it. One of the 3 blocks called "primary links" has 6 links and one of those links called "Home" has a URL link to the main page. I would like to vary the URL of the "Home" link depending on the current page URL. How would I implement this? Thanks, John

Taking over as maintainer for AFK/MIA maintainer... How?
by James Wright 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

I'm head of Drupal development for Clinical Tools, Inc<http://www.clinicaltools.com>(CTI). Some time ago, one of our developers contributed a theme we had custom developed for internal use and wanted to contribute back - the CTI FLEX <http://drupal.org/project/cti_flex> theme. Andrea was mistakenly listed as the only maintainer and when she left the company and the larger work community (baby), the theme has been without an active maintainer for some time now. Since the theme bears our company name (CTI) and we are actively using and maintaining the theme internally, I'd like to take over maintenance and support of the existing theme. Over the past months I've been unable to get in touch with Andrea to add me in such a capacity. Is there a mechanism where the community can allow me (and our company) to become active maintainers of this theme and support it's users despite the MIA status of it's current maintainer? Cheers, James Wright

how to use an argument to get a row to appear first in a View
by Idan Arbel 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Hello, I have a views slideshow, and in some cases I'd like a certain node to appear first in the order, I don't really care about the rest of the nodes just to move a certain node to be first in the slideshow. I'm looking to achieve this using an argument, maybe sending in the nid, or even better a certain value for another field. This is the use case - I have a slideshow of a certain product, where each row/node is a different color. I have a page with a bunch of these slideshows for different nodes. I'm looking for a way to have list page, display all the slideshows where the "Green" color nodes appear first, this is for a D7 site with drupal commerce - you can see it here: http://www.premiumbaby.co.il/koziol/drupal-7.0/%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A6%D7%A8%D7%9 9%D7%9D Any pointers would be much appreciated.

How to get the auto-increment value
by Austin Einter 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Hi All I have a table, where 'cid' field is of type "serial". Schema declaration is -> *"'cid' => array('type' => 'serial', 'unsigned' => TRUE, 'not null' => TRUE, ),"* Aim is to have an incremented value for it. The code is as below *$lastid = 0; for($delta = 0; $delta < $all_companies; $delta++) { $lastid = db_last_insert_id(rs_companies, cid) + 1; db_query( 'INSERT INTO {rs_companies} ( cid, uid, prevcompany, joindate, releasedate) ' ."VALUES (%d, '%d', '%s', '%d', '%d')", $lastid, * With this, I find this 'cid' field is not auto incrementing. Any idea, whats the wrong here. Best Regards Austin.

I am trying to use the hook_form_alter to change the option that is selected by default within a select pull-down when the page loads.
by John Mitchell 25 Mar '11

I am trying to use the hook_form_alter to change the option that is selected by default within a select pull-down when the page loads. I am able to adjust the order of the options before the page loads but changing the #default_value option does not change the actual selected option when the page loads. Note function *product_type_form_alter *below: *function product_type_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) { if ($form_id == 'views_exposed_form') { $form['term_node_tid_depth']['#default_value'] = 184;//this did not work $form['term_node_tid_depth']['#options'] = Array(193 => "Alpena County", 184 => "Genesee County", 190 => "Montmorency County", 186 => "Oceana County", 204 => "Wabasha County", "All" => "<Any>");//this worked $form['term_node_tid_depth']['#default_value'] = 184;//this did not work dd($form['term_node_tid_depth']['#default_value']);//the outputted log value is correctly as 184 but when the page loads it uses the original default of "All" } }* If I instead include a javascript file within hook_form_alter (*listed below *) then I am able to change the actual selected option after the page loads and programmatically click the submit button to rerun the filter, but this is needless processing that causes the page to load twice. How can I use the method above to change the actual selected option before the page loads? Thanks, John *function product_type_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {//this worked completely if ($form_id == 'views_exposed_form') { $term_node_tid_depth_get = $_GET['term_node_tid_depth']; if (!isset($term_node_tid_depth_get)) { drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'product_type') . '/js/subscription_product_filter.js','module','footer'); } } '/js/subscription_product_filter.js' contents below: jQuery("select#edit-term-node-tid-depth option[selected]").removeAttr("selected"); jQuery("select#edit-term-node-tid-depth option[value='184']").attr("selected", "selected"); $("#edit-submit-Subscription-Products").click();*

trouble destructing xml
by jeff＠ayendesigns.com 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

When all else fails, and #xml, ##php and #drupal-support come up empty...ask the folks who actually code :) I have an xml structure that has <this> <that parm1="a" parm2="b" parm3="c">red</that> <that parm1="e" parm2="f" parm3="d">blue</that> </this> I've tried simplexml and a few third-party scripts, one that loads the xml into an associative array rather than an object, and nothing lets me get at 'red' or 'blue'. When I use dsm() on the results, for example, in the case of the object with simplexml I get only one 'that' and do not get its contents. When I use the script that creates the array, I get both that's, and all their parms as elements, but not the colors. I'm curious what else people are using. Jeff -- /I am a non sequitur.
