Splitting nextgen gallery form the_content

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 12:21:42 +0000

Want to show the nextgen gallery somewhere else than the rest of the content?

Add this to your functions.php

// shows the content

echo ngg_content_split(“content”);

// shows the gallery

echo ngg_content_split(“gallery”)

function ngg_content_split($get=”content”){

//get the post content

$content_data = get_the_content();

//extract shortcode from content

preg_match(“/\[ngg([^}]*)\]/”, $content_data ,$matches);

$results = $matches[1];

//if shortcode exists in content

if (!empty($results) && $get==’gallery’){

$gallery_id = preg_replace(“/[^0-9]/”, ”, $matches[1]);

//make sure that NextGen is loaded

if (function_exists(nggShowGallery)){

//output gallery, showing only 4 images

return nggShowGallery( $gallery_id, null , 4 );

}

}elseif($get==’content’){

//extract gallery id from shortcode

$content = str_replace(“[ngg”.$results, “”, $content_data);

return ($content);

}else{

return “”;

}

update: Getting a working simplenews mail application

admin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 12:35:24 +0000

I’m busy building an standalone newsletter application using simplenews. So my attempt to create some kind of documentation for a working drupal based newsletter solution.

Use Simplenews 2-dev (at this moment 31-3-2010) it’s really great! Keep up the good work!
simplenews template 2-dev ( at this moment you have to apply a patch #640740: Fatal error with Simplenews 6.x-2.x: undefined function simplenews_mail_tokens() to use it with simplenews 2-dev the new dev doesn’t need this patch anymore but this one theme_simplenews_template_mail() function not being called. )
mimemail: i’m sorry to say but mime mail sucks. The issue queue is crowded and there are no recent releases. Attempts of people to become co maintainers aren’t accepted. Worse the latest release is only working on gmail accounts when sending a test mail or when you don’t send with phpmailer (highly recommended to send with phpmymailer). Get this version from CVS:cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib export -D2009-02-23 -R -d mimemail contributions/modules/mimemailand patch the security issue:

http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/mimemail/mimem…

otherwise gmail won’t display attached images. I highly recommend using phpmailer function to send the emails by a smtp server than using php mail();. If you send mails for another domain hotmail will push you into the junk box and your sender adress will be “bla@bla.com on behalf of blub@blub.com”

UPDATE: I haven’t tested it yet but these patches are looking great: Mime Mail 6.x-1.0-beta1

UPDATE: I have tested it and the patches are great: Mime Mail 6.x-1.0-beta1

Use the ckeditor module and the dev release of imce (looks a lot nicer than imce stable) and you will get wysiwyg power for the body and simplenews template. Again mimemail sucks: if you have spaces in your image filenames, the images won’t appear. Wysiwyg API doesn’t show up on simplenews_template

Calling a view from code

admin — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 14:53:55 +0000

$view=views_get_view(“VIEW_NAME”); //replace products with the name of the view created in step 1

$view->set_arguments(array($node->uid));

$view->build(‘default’); //use “default” if you want to retrieve the default display of your view, if not, the name of the specific display

$view->execute();

foreach($view->result as $result) { //$result

// Do something with $result here. Each result is an object, so for example you can access the nid using $result->nid

if ($result->node_vid){

drupal_goto(‘node/’.$result->node_vid);

}elseif($user->uid==$node->uid){

drupal_goto(‘node/add/portfolio’);

}else{

//drupal_goto(‘home’);

}

get a CCK field by query

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 12:02:09 +0000

$field = content_fields(‘field_date’);
$db_info = content_database_info($field);
$result = db_query(“SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM {node} n
INNER JOIN {term_node} tn ON n.vid = tn.vid
INNER JOIN {“. $db_info['table'] .”} ctd ON n.vid = ctd.vid
WHERE tn.tid = 25 AND ctd.” . $db_info['columns']['value']['column'] . ” > NOW() AND n.changed > %d”, $newtime);
?>

Using mootools classes with jquery in dupal

admin — Wed, 12 May 2010 08:58:19 +0000

I like the way you van organise your code with mootools and while working a lot with drupal recently i really liked the straight forward way of writing jquery code. What i dislike at jquery is the way to create plug-ins and at bigger projects the readability of jquery code gets worse. There is a great new project combining the best of two worlds:

“Moo4q uses MooTools to fill in where jQuery leaves off. MooTools is modular and encourages users to only use the pieces they need. We only need a couple modules from MooTools, none of which contain any code relevant to working with Elements, Animation, or AJAX. Moo4q leaves that to jQuery. So there’s little, if any, functional duplication. All said and done, the MooTools code is only 8k gzipped–diddly squat.”
