Submitted by CoolGoose on Mon, 12/06/2010 - 18:34

I needed this snippet of code in a block to show different links based on the user's logged in state.

  1. <?php
  2. global $user;
  3. if ($user->uid) {
  4.     print "logged in";
  5. }
  6. else if (!$user->uid) {
  7.     print "please log in";
  8. }
  9. ?>

Display Drupal 6 Custom menu in theme

Submitted by webmaster on Thu, 09/23/2010 - 17:06

There's a small catch, you have to prepend menu- to your custom name in the actual code.
You can check the url of the menu when you're in the admin for getting the actual name, if it's easier for you.

print theme('links', menu_navigation_links('menu-custom-name'));

Submitted by CoolGoose on Fri, 06/05/2009 - 22:12

Add this to your template.php file.

  1. function YOUR_THEME_NAME_preprocess_views_exposed_form(&$vars, $hook) { //this is important
  2.  
  3.   // only alter the required form based on id
  4.   if ($vars['form']['#id'] == 'views-exposed-form-where-to-buy-page-1') {
  5.  
  6.     // Change the text on the submit button
  7.     $vars['form']['submit']['#value'] = t('Search');
  8.  
  9.     // Rebuild the rendered version (submit button, rest remains unchanged)
  10.     unset($vars['form']['submit']['#printed']);
  11.     $vars['button'] = drupal_render($vars['form']['submit']);
  12.   }

Drupal 6 Custom content type page theme

Submitted by CoolGoose on Thu, 06/04/2009 - 22:01

If you ever wondered how to change the page.tpl.php for a custom content type you've found out that by default Drupal 6 doesn't know how to do it.

It's "fixed" easily by adding the following code:

  1. /**
  2.  * Override or insert PHPTemplate variables into the templates.
  3.  */
  4. function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  5.   // Add per content type pages
  6.   if (isset($vars['node'])) {
  7.     // Add template naming suggestion. It should alway use hyphens.
  8.     // If node type is "custom_news", it will pickup "page-custom-news.tpl.php".

Drupal body value in views template

Submitted by CoolGoose on Mon, 01/12/2009 - 13:53

If you're creating a view and using a custom node type for that view and don't understand why your $body variable doesn't work to display the content of the node it's because the shortcodes aren't loaded in a view template so you must use $node->content['body']['#value']

Drupal block cloning

Submitted by CoolGoose on Sat, 01/10/2009 - 23:08

I'm working on a website built with drupal and I ran into pretty nasty drupal 6 limitation.
You can't clone a module / have multiple instances in a default install, so after some searching I've found this nifty drupal module called MultiBlock that allows you to do exactly that.
