Capita di dover nascondere o eliminare alcuni Tabs di navigazione che Drupal o qualche suo modulo offrono di default.

Per farlo in modo pulito senza mettere mano al codice possiamo sfruttare phptemplate e inserire in seguente codice nel file template.php del nostro tema (o crearne uno appositamente in caso non sia già disponibile):


<?php

/**
* Override or insert PHPTemplate variables into the templates.
*/
function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) {
if ($hook == 'page') {

Out of the box the localization and translation functionalities of Drupal can translate only the titles of each field created with the Content Construction Kit (CCK). Unfortunately at the moment no translation module (Locale, Localizer, i18n) offers direct support for the translation of cck fields, so we have to fix this ourselves.

In order for a string to get translated it must be enveloped by the t() function in the PHP code. We have to do this manually. Currently, your 'Allowed values' list probably looks like:

First you'd better chage it to::

If like me you are not a big fan of the Log Message functionality of Drupal (the one that adds a "Log Message" textarea at the bottom of each node form), then here is a small php snippet override to add to the template.php file of your theme to definitely hide the Message Log:

Make a good use of it ;)

To show and hide contents in Drupal we can use the javascript library in the core and obtain the same effect that we get by default in the collapsible fields of Drupal forms. All is needed is to invoke the script collapse.js in the body of the content (node or block) we are creating:

If you're using the i18n module to translate a website's contents, and you need also to have a specific homepage for each language, here are a couple of ways to get it:

if you use a custom PHPTemplate front page (page-front.tpl.php

you can call the node of the translation corresponding to the language actually in use:

Fivestar is a little contributed Drupal module that allows you to cast a vote on any content type. I prefer it to other rating modules because it's simple and elegant, and it can be skinned to your likes easily as well.

Is very easy to show some contents to anonymous AND some other to authenticated users in Drupal. You'll only need to adapt the following few lines of php to output your content:

Yep, that easy.

Ever had the need to redirect your users to a certain page after they perform a particular task (ie: after they are invited to register to the site)?

Doing it is simple:

just translate the link in your PHPTemplate content-type file (es: node.tpl.php) from:
http://www.mywebsite.com/user/register
