The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 5,800 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 10 years to get that many views.
Since I’m taking the tests on P2PU and the #3 Choose Your Weapon test ask you about this topic, I was wondering what text editor you prefer and why!
Today I had to add a class to the body so know if I was logged in as “administrator” like role, it needed to have the permission to modify any content of the type MYTYPE.
To add a class to the body you have to work on the template_preprocess_html for your theme, like the snippet below.
function MYTHEME_preprocess_html(&$vars) {
if(user_access("edit any MYTYPE content")){
$vars['classes_array'][] = "MYCLASS";
}
}
The user_access() will check if the current user (if there isn’t one specified) has the selected permission, the permission is the one you can see from the permission administration page, if you are using Drupal in another language then refer to the base English interface to know what to write there.
Enjoy!
Today for a customer I had to use a special plugin for jQuery that needs a jQuery version equal or major than 1.6.1.
As you know Drupal 7 is shipped with jQuery 1.4.4 and so is not ready for the plugin I need to use, there is a plugin that update jQuery and jQuery UI but where is the fun?
The procedure is pretty quick:
template.php file as described below.That is.
Now for the template.php, you need to use the hook_js_alter to replace the native jQuery:
function MYTHEME_js_alter(&$javascript) {
//We define the path of our new jquery core file
//assuming we are using the minified version 1.8.3
$jquery_path = drupal_get_path('theme','MYTHEME') . '/js/jquery-1.8.3.min.js';
//We duplicate the important information from the Drupal one
$javascript[$jquery_path] = $javascript['misc/jquery.js'];
//..and we update the information that we care about
$javascript[$jquery_path]['version'] = '1.8.3';
$javascript[$jquery_path]['data'] = $jquery_path;
//Then we remove the Drupal core version
unset($javascript['misc/jquery.js']);
}
After we clear the cache we will have the new jQuery version.
Keep in mind that changing the jQuery version may create some incompatibility issues with the other Drupal core scripts.
Enjoy!
Who use linux systems may encounter the following error:
W: GPG error: ftp://ftp.debian.org/ testing Release:
The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY EB563F93142986CE
W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
EB563F93142986CE
The ID is different everytime but the solution is always the same:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key YOURSEGNALEDID
gpg -a --export YOURSEGNALEDID | sudo apt-key add -
Easy.
Enjoy!
