Make drupal accessible via webservice

Published by guldi on April 27th, 2012 in developing, webservices, drupal

Did I mention that drupal is great??

Needed to provide webservices to a drupal page. Look at this hillaryous module:

Geany now is able to recognize drupal core functions.
It helps a lot if the function helper shows up while typing.

Drupal build custom forms

Published by guldi on April 22nd, 2012

Till now I only used to work with the drupal form api in context of the admin interface.
I now realised how obvious it is to use it also for frontend developement.

    function mymod_login_form($form, &$form_state) {
      $form['#action'] = 'http://gocreative.ch/auth';
      $form['username'] = array(
        '#title' => 'Benutzername',
        '#type' => 'textfield',
        '#size' => 40,
      );
      $form['password'] = array(
        '#title' => 'Password',

Create a drupal-node by module

Published by guldi on April 12th, 2012 in tipps, php-snippet, drupal, developing, d7

I recently had to implement functionality for a module to automatically import nodes from a XML-file of a foreign system. With this pages as references it turned out to be surprisingly easy:

unity - systray-whitelist

Published by guldi on April 11th, 2012 in unity, tipps, desktop, (x)ubuntu

Some apps do work with symbols in systray. For skype, dropbox thats in fact is working under unity. But some apps are simply not displayed. Eg. AeroFS

To allow every app to create a symbol in systray, give it a wildcard:

Execute dconf-editor (if not available, install it).
Set unity/panel/systray-whitelist to ['all']

Quit dconf, log off and on. Thats it.
