In the VIEWS UI, open the “ADVANCED” section and look under the “OTHER” subsection. Find the item “Use AJAX” and set the value to yes. I know, I know, (pause, make face) – right? Well, the guy on the thread that helped me complained enough about it so I’ll just keep my mouth shut.

I hope that if you were having this problem you found my post faster than I found that thread. : )

As, always, feel free to comment and make suggestions.

The interface on this Calendar is quite different than what is shown in other slightly older videos.

The new video for Drupal 7 Calendar New Interface Set Up.

OK, so here is the “How To”:

1) open your terminal and enter the following line. Note:The default location for screenshots is ~/Desktop.

    defaults write com.apple.screencapture location <your new path ie ~/screenshots>

2) Reset the System UI Server so you can see the change.

    killall SystemUIServer

The HTML5 datalist element provides an “autocomplete” feature on form elements. With it, you can provide a list of predefined options to the user as they input data.

Now, when a user is entering some text into a text field, a list can drop down with pre-filled values for them to choose from.

How to Make a datalist for a Form Field Input Element
The datalist tag was introduced in HTML 5.

Use the ID of the datalist tag to associate it with the appropriate input.
For example, if the datalist tag has an id=”myDataList”, then the list attribute of the input element will look like this: list=”myDataList”.

You can fill the datalist element by nesting option tags inside the datalist tag. Here is an example of the code for the HTML5 datalist element:

OK, so now you know. Go be nice to your users with the HTML5

Enter the box-shadow element! The box-shadow element is supported in IE9+, Firefox 4, Chrome, Opera, and Safari 5.1.1. The syntax of the box-shadow CSS3 element is as follows:

box-shadow: h-shadow v-shadow blur spread color inset;

The box-shadow element is a comma separated list of properties that effect the position and size and color and even the opacity of the shadow. Note the inset perimeter. That controls wether the shadow is inside of or outside of the object getting the shadow.

.image-framer img {
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
/* box-shadow: h-shadow v-shadow blur spread color inset;*/
box-shadow: 3px  3px 5px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}

The first to parameters control the horizontal and vertical position of the shadow.

Next is the optional blur distance measure followed by the optional spread (or size) of the shadow.

The next paramiter is the color parameter. Here is where you can use the new CSS3 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) element. With the rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) element you can control the opacity as well. Or you could use the color number here if you like without opacity.

OK, well, enough talk. Go try it out!

<?php
function hook_menu(){
... some code
 
  $items['my-module/%/edit'] = array(
    'page callback' => 'mymodule_abc_edit',
    'page arguments' => array(1),
  );
 
more code ...
 
return $items;
}

On the other hand, there may be times when you you really need to pass dynamic data as a $_GET variable that is tacked onto an URL. In this case you need to pass the code through the urlencode() function.

When you are passing a user submitted URL in a hyperlink, rather than using check_plain(), the Drupal documentation says to use urlencode() instead.

Just put the following code wherever in your script you need to know what function is calling the part you are working on.

<?php>
 
$backtrace = debug_backtrace();
print "The function that just called this code is <strong>" .$backtrace[1]['function'] . "<strong>.";
 
</php>

This will output something like this:

The function that just called this code is DrawWidget.

Where DrawWidget is the name of the function.

I hope this comes in handy for someone. Thanks for visiting!
