I created a new Webform to serve as a simple Contact form, but left the main configuration until after I created the form components. I added 'Name', 'Email', 'Subject' and 'Message' fields, as well as a 'Category' select list. Below 'Options', I entered each of my desired options in the following format:
Email address|Visible name
Email address|Visible name
I went back to the form configuration page and expanded 'Conditional Email Recipients', and selected my Category. Note that the standard 'Email To' field above it needs to be empty. Originally, I made the mistake of leaving addresses in that field which resulted in people being sent emails regardles of which category was selected. I then configured the rest of the form.

Whilst updating my About page, I thought about creating a slideshow of several images instead of just the one static image. When I looking on Drupal.org, the only slideshow modules were to create slideshows of images that were attached to different nodes - not multiple images attached to one node. Then, I found the [Fancy Slide](http://drupal.org/project/fancy_slide) module. It's a jQuery Slideshow module with features that include integration with the [CCK](http://drupal.org/project/cck), [ImageCache](http://drupal.org/project/imagecache) and [Nodequeue](http://drupal.org/project/nodequeue) modules.

I started to create my own version, and then found [this Blog post](http://www.hankpalan.com/blog/drupal-themes/add-your-social-connections-drupal-icons) by Hank Palan.

This isn't a Drupal related topic per se, but it is a walk-through of one of the applications that I use whilst doing Drupal development work. I assume, like most Mac OS X users, I use [MAMP](http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html) to run Apache, MySQL and PHP locally whilst developing. I also use virtual hosts in Apache to create local .dev domains which are as close as possible to the actual live domains. For example, if I was developing a site called mysite.com, my local development version would be mysite.dev.

I made a note of the nid's of the returned nodes, and kept them for later. I then ran a similar query against the term_data table. This returned a list of Taxonomy terms - showing the term's name, and it's unique tid value.

The term that I was interested in, Drupal Planet, had the tid of 84. To confirm that no nodes were already assigned a taxonomy term with this tid, I ran another query against the database. I'm using aliases within this query to link the node, term_node and term_data tables. For more information on SQL aliases, take a look at <http://w3schools.com/sql/sql_alias.asp>.

SELECT * FROM node n, term_data td, term_node tn WHERE td.tid = 84 AND n.nid = tn.nid AND tn.tid = td.tid;

Recently, I converted a client's static HTML website, along with their Coppermine Photo Gallery, into a Drupal-powered website.
Over the next few posts, I'll be replicating the process that I used during the conversion, and how I added some additional features to my Drupal gallery.
To begin with, I created my photo gallery as described by [Jeff Eaton](http://www.lullabot.com/about/team/jeff-eaton) in [this screencast](http://www.lullabot.com/articles/photo-galleries-views-attach), downloaded all my client's previous photos via FTP, and quickly added them into the new gallery using the [Imagefield Import](http://drupal.org/project/imagefield_import) module (which I mentioned [previously](/blog/quickly-import-multiples-images-using-imagefieldimport-module)).

When I compare this to the previous gallery, I can see several differences which I'd like to include. The first of which is the number of photos in each gallery, and the date that the most recent photo was added.

However, on the client's original website, the majority of these photos were pubished several months or years ago, and I'd like the new website to still reflect the original created dates. As opposed to modifying each individual photograph, I'll be doing this in bulk in my next post.

When I look back at the old photo gallery, I can see that the previous 'last added' date was June 27, 2008. So, how do I update my new photos to reflect that date? Using <http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm>, I can enter the required date in its readable format, and it will give me the equivilent UNIX timestamp. To keep things relatively simple, I'll set all photos within this gallery to the same time.

Earlier this year, I posted a solution to [an issue](http://drupal.org/node/753898) on the Drupal.org issue queue. Originally, I just posted the code back onto the issue, but have now created a patch that can easily be applied to any Drupal 6 installation. Here is a run-through of the process of creating and applying a patch. In this case, I made changes to the `user_pass_validate()` function that's found within `modules/user/user.pages.inc`.
To begin with, a download a fresh copy of Drupal 6.19 and created a copy of the original user.pages.inc file. Within the duplicate file, I made the same changes to the function that I did in earlier code, and saved the changes. Now, within my Terminal, I can navigate to Drupal's root directory and create the patch.
diff -rup modules/user/user.pages.inc modules/user/user.pages2.inc > /Users/oliver/Desktop/different_messages_for_blocked_users.patch
diff -rup modules/user/user.pages.inc modules/user/user.pages2.inc > /Users/oliver/Desktop/different_messages_for_blocked_users.patch
This command compares the differences between the two files, and creates the specified patch file.
To apply the patch to my Drupal installation, I go back to Terminal and run the following code:
patch -p0 < /Users/oliver/Desktop/different_messages_for_blocked_users.patch
patch -p0 < /Users/oliver/Desktop/different_messages_for_blocked_users.patch
If, for some reason, I need to reverse the patch, I can run this code:
patch -p0 -R < /Users/oliver/Desktop/different_messages_for_blocked_users.patch
patch -p0 -R < /Users/oliver/Desktop/different_messages_for_blocked_users.patch
And that's it!

One of my favourite things lately in Drupal 6 has been CCK 3, and more specifically, the Content Multigroups sub-module. Basically this allows you to create a fieldset of various CCK fields, and then repeat that multiple times. For example, I use it on this site whist creating invoices for clients. I have a fieldset called 'Line Item', containing 'Description', 'Quantity' and 'Price' fields. With a standard fieldset, I could only have one instance of each field - however, using a multigroup, I can create multiple groups of line items which I then use within the invoice.

$ sudo mkdir /home/svn
$ sudo mkdir /home/svn
## Create a test repository
First, I'll create a new folder in which I'll create my test project, and then I'll create a repository for it.
$ sudo mkdir ~/test
$ sudo svnadmin create /home/svn/test -m 'initial project structure'
$ sudo mkdir ~/test
$ sudo svnadmin create /home/svn/test -m 'initial project structure'
This will create a new repository containing the base file structure.
## Adding files into the test project
$ cd ~/test

$ mkdir trunk tags branches
$ cd ~/test

$ mkdir trunk tags branches
I can now import these new directories into the test repository.
$ sudo svn import ~/test file:///home/svn/test -m 'Initial project directories'
$ sudo svn import ~/test file:///home/svn/test -m 'Initial project directories'
This both adds and commits these new directories into the repository.
In order for Apache to access the SVN repositories, the `/home/svn` directory needs to be owned by the same user and group that Apache runs as. In Ubuntu, this is usually www-data. To change the owner of a directory, use the chown command.
$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /home/svn
$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /home/svn
## Configuring Apache
The first thing that I need to do is enable the dav_svn Apache module, using the a2enmod command.
$ sudo a2enmod dav_svn
$ sudo a2enmod dav_svn
With this enabled, now I need to modify the Apache configuration file.
$ cd /etc/apache2

I'm passing the command two arguments - the first is the URL of the repository's trunk directory, and the second is the directory where the files are to be placed. As no files have been commited yet into the trunk, it appears to be empty - but if you perform an ls -la command, you'll see that there is a hidden .svn directory.
Now you can start adding files into the directory. Once you've created your files, perform a svn add command, passing in individual filenames as further arguments.
$ svn add index.php
$ svn add *
$ svn add index.php
$ svn add *
With all the required files added, they can be committed using `svn commit -m 'commit message'` command, and the server can be updated using the svn up command.

If you're accessing Linux servers or automating tasks between servers, rather than having to enter your user password every time, you can also use SSH public key authentication. This is a simple process that involves creating a local key and storing it within the *authorized_keys* file on the remote server.
1. Check if you already have a SSH key.
`$ ssh-add -L`
`$ ssh-add -L`
2. If you don't have one, create one.
`$ ssh-keygen`
`$ ssh-keygen`
2. Upload the key onto the server. Replace *myserver* with the hostname or IP address of your remote server.
`$ ssh-copy-id myserver`
`$ ssh-copy-id myserver`
If you're using Mac OS X and you don't have ssh-copy-id installed, download and install [Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew "Homebrew") and run the `brew install ssh-copy-id` command.

In this tutorial I'll be showing how to create an [Omega](http://drupal.org/project/omega) subtheme using the [Omega Tools](http://drupal.org/project/omega_tools) module, and have it working with the [LESS CSS preprocessor](http://lesscss.org).
The first thing that I need to do is download the Omega theme and the Omega Tools and [LESS](http://drupal.org/project/less "LESS module on drupal.org") modules, and then to enable both modules. I'm doing this using Drush, but you can of course do this via the admin interface at admin/modules.
$ drush dl less omega omega_tools;
$ drush en -y less omega_tools
$ drush dl less omega omega_tools;
$ drush en -y less omega_tools
With the Omega Tools module enabled I get the drush omega-subtheme command that creates my Omega subtheme programatically. Using this command, I'm creating a new subtheme, enabling it and setting it as the default theme on my site.
$ drush omega-subtheme "Oliver Davies" --machine_name="oliverdavies" --enable --set-default
$ drush omega-subtheme "Oliver Davies" --machine_name="oliverdavies" --enable --set-default
By default, four stylesheets are created within the subtheme's css directory. The first thing that I'm going to do is rename `global.css` to `global.less`.
$ mv css/global.css css/global.less
$ mv css/global.css css/global.less
Now I need to find all references to global.css within my oliverdavies.info file. I did this using `$ nano oliverdavies.info`, pressing `Ctrl+W` to search, then `Ctrl+R` to replace, entering `global.css` as the search phrase, and then `global.less` as the replacement text. After making any changes to oliverdavies.info, I need to clear Drupal's caches for the changes to be applied.
$ drush cc all
$ drush cc all
I tested my changes by making some quick additions to my global.less file and reloading the page.

When you download [Drupal](http://drupal.org), there are several text files that are placed in the root of your installation. You don't want or need these to be visible to anyone attempting to view them in a browser - especially CHANGELOG.txt as that includes the exact version of Drupal you are running and could therefore have security implications. Rather than delete these files or change the file permissions manually for each file, I can add the following lines into my VirtualHost configuration:
<Files ~ "\.txt$">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Files>
<Files ~ "\.txt$">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Files>
This prevents any files with a .txt extension from being accessed and rendered in a web browser.

First, I need to download the [Date](http://drupal.org/project/date "Date module on Drupal.org") module, and make my module dependent on date_popup by adding the following line into my module's .info file.
dependencies[] = date_popup

After reading numerous blog posts about how to install [Sublime Text 2](http://www.sublimetext.com/2 "Sublime Text 2") in [Ubuntu](http://www.ubuntu.com/2 "Ubuntu"), this is definitely the quickest way! Just paste the following lines into your Terminal:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sublime-text
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sublime-text
After running this, Sublime Text 2 has been installed within the */usr/lib/sublime-text-2* directory and can be launched from the Dashboard, or by typing `subl`, `sublime-text` or `sublime-text-2` into a Terminal window.

There are times when doing Drupal development when you need to run a custom PHP script, maybe moving data from one field to another, that doesn't warrant the time and effort to create a custom module. In this scenario, it would be quicker to write a .php script and bootstrap Drupal to gain access to functions like `node_load()` and `db_query()`.
@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ $node = node_load(1);
The script would need be placed in the root of your Drupal directory, and you would then have had to open a browser window and visit http://example.com/foo.php to execute it. This is where the "drush php-script" command (or "drush scr" for short) is useful, and can be used to execute the script from the command line.
$ drush scr foo.php
$ drush scr foo.php
It also means that I no longer need to manually bootstrap Drupal, so my script is much cleaner.
@ -38,10 +38,10 @@ $node = node_load(1);
I prefer to keep these scripts outside of my Drupal directory in a separate "scripts" directory (with Drupal in a "drupal" directory on the same level). This makes it easier to update Drupal as I don't need to worry about accidentally deleting the additional files. From within the drupal directory, I can now run the following command to go up one level, into the scripts directory and then execute the script. Note that you do not need to include the file extension.
$ drush scr ../scripts/foo
$ drush scr ../scripts/foo
Or, if you're using [Drush aliases](http://deeson-online.co.uk/labs/drupal-drush-aliases-and-how-use-them "Drupal, Drush aliases, and how to use them"):
$ drush @mysite.local scr foo
$ drush @mysite.local scr foo
If you commonly use the same scripts for different projects, you could also store these within a separate Git repository and checkout the scripts directory using a [Git submodule](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Submodules "Git Submodules").

Testing a patch file is usually a two-step process. First you download the patch file from the source, and then you run a separate command to apply it.
You can save time and typing by running the two commands on one line:
$ curl http://drupal.org/files/[patch-name].patch | git apply
$ curl http://drupal.org/files/[patch-name].patch | git apply
Or, if you don't have curl installed, you can use wget:
$ wget -q -O - http://drupal.org/files/[patch-name].patch | git apply
$ wget -q -O - http://drupal.org/files/[patch-name].patch | git apply
These commands need to be run within the root of your Git repository (i.e. where the .git directory is).

If you use [Drush](https://raw.github.com/drush-ops/drush/master/README.md "About Drush"), it's likely that you've used the `drush pm-download` (or `drush dl` for short) command to start a new project.

git add --force sites/default/settings.php
git add --force sites/default/settings.php
The other option is to update the .gitignore file itself so that settings.php is no longer ignored. An updated .gitignore file could look like:

This week, my first code patch was [committed to Drupal core](https://www.drupal.org/node/2394517#comment-9773143). The patch adds the `user_has_role()` function to the user module, to simplify the way to check whether a user in Drupal has been assigned a specific role. This is something that I normally write a custom function for each project, but it's now available in Drupal core as of [7.36](https://www.drupal.org/drupal-7.36-release-notes).

You can define a simple dependency for your module by adding a line this this to your project's .info file:
dependencies[] = views
dependencies[] = views
This would make your module dependant on having the [Views](https://www.drupal.org/project/views) module present and enabled, which you'd need if you were including views as part of your module, for example.
@ -34,12 +34,12 @@ This would make your module dependant on having the [Views](https://www.drupal.o
In the previous example, our module would enable if _any_ version of Views was enabled, but we need to specify a specific version. We can do this by including version numbers within the dependencies field in the following format:
dependencies[] = modulename (major.minor)
dependencies[] = modulename (major.minor)
This can be a for a specific module release or a branch name:
dependencies[] = modulename (1.0)
dependencies[] = modulename (1.x)
dependencies[] = modulename (1.0)
dependencies[] = modulename (1.x)

@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ We can also use the following as part of the field for extra granularity:
In the original scenario, we want to specify that the module can only be enabled on Drupal core 7.36 or later. To do this, we can use the "greater than or equal to" option.
dependencies[] = system (>=7.36)
dependencies[] = system (>=7.36)
Because we need to check for Drupal's core version, we're using the system module as the dependency and specifying that it needs to be either equal to or greater than 7.36. If this dependency is not met, e.g. Drupal 7.35 is being used, then the module cannot be enabled rather than showing a function not found error for `user_has_role()` when it is called.
