Drupal

I will be doing a session at Design 4 Drupal this weekend at MIT in Cambridge.

If you are in the area, please feel free to come ! I will be talking about items that are alittle more advanced ... but easy to understand for beginners!

Cheers!

We have found that this solution works:

#primary ul {
    position: static;
    text-align: center;
}


#primary li {
    display: inline;
    font-size: 100%;
    margin-right: 5px;
    float:none;
}

#primary a {
    display: static;
    float:none;
}

Eight years ago today Drupal 1.0.0 was released. It's been a big year for Drupal, another big release with Drupal 6, a lot of awards, and a lot of recognition. The project has had some notable departures, promotions, and the addition of many great contributors and users. Happy Birthday to the Drupal project and its amazing community.

This is a very common question in the Drupal forums, one that I have often had to look up when I am working on a project: "How do I access the current node information from the within the node that I am on?". Like wise, a similar question is " How do I access the current user information so that I can say something like: 'Welcome, *username*! Thanks for visiting our site!' ?"

<?php
global $user;
 
drupal_set_message("
". var_export($user, TRUE) ."
");

if ( arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)) && ! arg(2) ) {
  $node = node_load(arg(1));

I really love Flashnode ! The way that it makes adding Flash to your drupal site is a no brainer. Also, the fact that you can do two essentail things with it; makes it a killer module:

1. Flash node input filter
2. Passing Flashvars to your Flash movie

I got picked up by the great team at Sony BMG to work on their Drupal sites* and their team is hooked up with Mac and I, of course, on a pc. Even though it is not my native platform, I am comfortable on a mac. Give two buttons on a mouse and, really, I am good to go. However, as we have a very heavy load to launch, working on a foreign platform might not be the most productive thing... so, like most all of us here to day, I needed to adapt to survive.

Peter gave a Killer introduction this past weekend: here is a link to the post summarizing it: http://groups.drupal.org/node/14919

Please note the addition by Dries below!

Here is a help file that I created for myself on how to access the database while writing a module. I thought that it might be useful. Later this week, I will create a post recapping Objects, Arrays and Functions: the stuff we talked about at the beginning of session 2 on Sunday at Drupalcamp, this weekend. Enjoy

<?php
// remember to bring the global variables into Scope
global $user;
/*the db_query() function does the selecting, inserting, deleting, and updating

First of all, thanks to everyone who came to Drupalcamp this weekend and thanks to those to attended Theming 101... I hope I didn't confuse you... and if I did, I am happy that Robbie was there to clarify /add to the content. One of the questions that we often ask eachother in is "What is your favorite program/software". While I want to always say Photoshop or Flash or most often "Drupal", really the only true answer is Ghost. I think of that today because the sessions brought to mind several files that I created before for my own reference and I would like to share them with you .... however, I had to go into my back ups (I back up my whole laptop every Monday Morning at 1am) to get the file.. yeah, I love Ghost.
