If you've experienced the unending joy of attempting to make a PHP SOAP call using the SoapClass, you may have discovered XML node attributes cannot easily be created and passed.
A friend of mine is writing an iOS application which will communicate with a web server. He needed a basic JSON program to test out his code, so I wrote him this:
I need to insert a key/value at a certain position in an associative array. It seems like a common issue. I was surprised to discover there wasn't a straightforward answer. Here is the method I created. If you know of a more efficient method, please let me know in the comments.
A common issue when building a site in Drupal: you've got a $node, $vars['node'], or $form_state['node'] and need to render an image (with image style) from one of the fields. I am building a custom form in this instance, and need to show the first image stored in some loaded nodes.
Update: Dave Reid just added basic field token support to Token. Try the beta4 of Token (http://drupal.org/project/token) before Entity Tokens. I worked out what needed to happen a few weeks ago, and finally wrote it up. I didn't realize there was an update the Token when I posted. Haha! Internet moves quick!
I'm building an interface to simplify the user experience during content creation. Users select options in three <select> fields, then on submit, they are forwarded to the correct content type add node form for the options selected. Some of the values from the original form will be be pre-filled in the new node add form.
To create this new form, I need fields from the content types and user profile. Given a content type, field name, and field instance, this is the code you need to get the Form API renderable array for the field.
Normally I work in Windows or Linux. Currently, I am working on an iMac. Rather than fighting years of muscle memory, I switched the Command and Control keys in the Keyboard preferences. Problem is now Control keys in iTerm don't work. After some research I determined how to send Control characters with both Command and Control.
Note: I know this could use some screenshots. No time right now.
Here is how to make Control-C work in iTerm when Control/Command have been switched:
I need a page on my Drupal 7 project site to display within a jQuery modal dialog box. Adding content to a jQuery dialog is straightforward with the Dialog module. The issue was the dialog box needed to contain the contents of a Panel. Previously I've embeded Views using views_embed_view(), but I've never tried to embed a Panel. A web search wouldn't give me a quick answer, so I worked it out.
If you are new to online video processing, you may be overwelmed with the available information. You or your client just want video on a website. The simpliest option is the use YouTube or some other free video host. Most companies won't like the idea though. They don't want to obviously advertise a separate product or business through their website. Entirely reasonable.
