Phil's Drupal Blog
Posted August 4th, 2008 by DrupalAs a website developer I have decided to work almost exclusively with the Drupal CMS. I will continually update this blog with information regarding my experience with Drupal, recipes and code snippets that are helpful along the way.
In my experience with Drupal I have found it sometimes difficult to interpret the help/notes/instructions given by other developers - hopefully the documentation here will be easier to understand than most.
Category / Taxonomy term links list
Posted August 20th, 2008 by DrupalIf you, like me, thought that you could use the "views" module to create a list of all of the taxonomy terms in a certain category - you can't. Views only displays lists of nodes. So, here is the snippet of code that you need to create to that list of links (you could put it in a block):
TinyMCE - Excluding textboxes
Posted August 19th, 2008 by DrupalThese are the text boxes that I have excluded by default so far. It would be easier to just include the ones that you want - but that's not the way it's setup.
As I find more module specific text boxes that I want excluded, I will update the script here.
Maximum File Size
Posted August 14th, 2008 by DrupalI always forget how to fix the maximum file size for uploading on drupal. Simply add this:
php_value post_max_size 75M
php_value memory_limit 32M
Registered Globals
Posted August 14th, 2008 by DrupalGetting a registered globals issue when trying to install a drupal site on the 1and1.com shared hosting environment. Simple fix - should have written it down earlier, but resolved simply by adding the following code to the .htaccess file that is preset with the drupal site:
First and Last Classes
Posted August 12th, 2008 by DrupalThis little chunk of code should be handy:
http://drupal.org/node/138656
This will allow me to add first and last classes to menu items that are in blocks - which if I get this project that I am thinking of (where the designer is super anal) I can utilize this code:
Users can't edit pages when logged in.
Posted August 5th, 2008 by DrupalHaving an awesome issue with pages not being editable when logged in under my clients user account. Tried a million things - but it doesn't have anything to do with the access control or roles - its bizarre - and I still don't get it, but this is what I found:
SEO for Taxonomy Views
Posted August 4th, 2008 by DrupalI noticed that for one of my clients website the search engine output had really poor page descriptions for all of the taxonomy / category views. The Drupal default taxonomy output only has the name of the taxonomy term, but no description by default.
Module: Simple Menu VS. Admin Menu
Posted August 4th, 2008 by DrupalFor simplicity sake, and the sanity of myself and my clients I have decided to start developing all new drupal client sites with the Simple Menu module. Simple Menu takes the default authenticated user navigation (typically on the left block) and places it along the top of the page - works great with any theme and looks really clean and slick.
