<h1>Checking if a user is logged into Drupal (the right way)</h1>
<p class="posted">9th January 2013</p>
<p>I see this regularly when working on Drupal sites when someone wants to check whether the current user is logged in to Drupal (authenticated) or not (anonymous):</p>
<pre><code class="language-php">global $user;
if ($user-&gt;uid) {
// The user is logged in.
}
</code></pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre><code class="language-php">global $user;
if (!$user-&gt;uid) {
// The user is not logged in.
}
</code></pre>
<p>The better way to do this is to use the <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!user!user.module/function/user_is_logged_in/7">user_is_logged_in()</a> function.</p>
<pre><code class="language-php">if (user_is_logged_in()) {
// Do something.
}
</code></pre>
<p>This returns a boolean (TRUE or FALSE) depending or not the user is logged in. Essentially, it does the same thing as the first example, but there's no need to load the global variable.</p>
<p>A great use case for this is within a <code>hook_menu()</code> implementation within a custom module.</p>
<pre><code class="language-php">/**
* Implements hook_menu().
*/
function mymodule_menu() {
$items['foo'] = array(
'title' =&gt; 'Foo',
'page callback' =&gt; 'mymodule_foo',
'access callback' =&gt; 'user_is_logged_in',
);
return $items;
}
</code></pre>
<p>There is also a <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!user!user.module/function/user_is_anonymous/7">user_is_anonymous()</a> function if you want the opposite result. Both of these functions are available in Drupal 6 and higher.</p>

<h1>Creating and using custom tokens in Drupal 7</h1>
<p class="posted">16th February 2013</p>
<p>This post outlines the steps required to create your own custom tokens in Drupal.</p>
<p>When writing the recent releases of the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/copyright_block">Copyright Block</a> module, I used tokens to allow the user to edit and customise their copyright message and place the copyright_message:dates token in the desired position. When the block is rendered, the token is replaced by the necessary dates.</p>
<p>We will be using the fictional <em>foo</em> module to demonstrate this.</p>
<h2 id="requirements">Requirements</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/token">Token module</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="recommended">Recommended</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/devel">Devel module</a> - useful to run <code>dpm()</code> and <code>kpr()</code> functions</li>
<li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/copyright_block">Copyright Block module</a> - 7.x-2.x and 6.x-1.x use tokens, handy as a reference</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="implementing-hook_token_info">Implementing hook_token_info()</h2>
<p>The first thing that we need to do is define the new token type and/or the token itself, along with it's descriptive text. To view the existing tokens and types, use <code>dpm(token_get_info());</code>, assuming that you have the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/devel">Devel module</a> installed.</p>
<pre><code class="language-php">/**
* Implements hook_token_info().
*/
function foo_token_info() {
$info = array();
// Add any new tokens.
$info['tokens']['foo']['bar'] = t('This is my new bar token within the foo type.');
// Return them.
return $info;
}
</code></pre>
<p>In this case, the token called <em>bar</em> resides within the <em>foo</em> group.</p>
<p>If I needed to add a new token within an existing token type, such as 'node', the syntax would be <code>$info['tokens']['node']['bar']</code>.</p>
<h2 id="implementing-hook_tokens">Implementing hook_tokens()</h2>
<p>Now that the Token module is aware of our new token, we now need to determine what the token is replaced with. This is done using <code>hook_tokens()</code>. Here is the basic code needed for an implementation:</p>
<pre><code class="language-php">/**
* Implements hook_tokens().
*/
function foo_tokens($type, $tokens, array $data = array(), array $options = array()) {
$replacements = array();
// Code goes here...
// Return the replacements.
return $replacements;
}
</code></pre>
<p>The first thing to check for is the type of token using an <code>if()</code> function, as this could be an existing type like 'node', 'user' or 'site', or a custom token type like 'foo'. Once we're sure that we're looking at the right type(s), we can use <code>foreach ($tokens as $name =&gt; $original)</code> to loop through each of the available tokens using a <code>switch()</code>. For each token, you can perform some logic to work out the replacement text and then add it into the replacements array using <code>$replacements[$original] = $new;</code>.</p>
<pre><code class="language-php">/**
* Implements hook_tokens().
*/
function foo_tokens($type, $tokens, array $data = array(), array $options = array()) {
$replacements = array();
// The first thing that we're going to check for is the type of token - node,
// user etc...
if ($type == 'foo') {
// Loop through each of the available tokens.
foreach ($tokens as $name =&gt; $original) {
// Find the desired token by name
switch ($name) {
case 'bar':
$new = '';
// Work out the value of $new...
// Add the new value into the replacements array.
$replacements[$original] = $new;
break;
}
}
}
// Return the replacements.
return $replacements;
}
</code></pre>
<h2 id="example">Example</h2>
<p>An example from Copyright Block module:</p>
<pre><code class="language-php">/**
* Implements hook_tokens().
*/
function copyright_block_tokens($type, $tokens, array $data = array(), array $options = array()) {
$replacements = array();
if ($type == 'copyright_statement') {
foreach ($tokens as $name =&gt; $original) {
switch ($name) {
case 'dates':
$start_year = variable_get('copyright_block_start_year', date('Y'));
$current_year = date('Y');
$replacements[$original] = $start_year &lt; $current_year ? $start_year . '-' . $current_year : $start_year;
break;
}
}
}
return $replacements;
}
</code></pre>
<h2 id="using-token_replace">Using token_replace()</h2>
<p>With everything defined, all that we now need to do is pass some text through the <code>token_replace()</code> function to replace it with the values defined within <code>hook_token()</code>.</p>
<pre><code class="language-php">$a = t('Something');
// This would use any token type - node, user etc.
$b = token_replace($a);
// This would only use foo tokens.
$c = token_replace($a, array('foo'));
</code></pre>

<h1>The Quickest way to Install Sublime Text 2 in Ubuntu</h1>
<p class="posted">2nd March 2013</p>
<p>After reading numerous blog posts about how to install <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/2" title="Sublime Text 2">Sublime Text 2</a> in <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/2" title="Ubuntu">Ubuntu</a>, this is definitely the quickest way! Just paste the following lines into your Terminal:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sublime-text
</code></pre>
<p>After running this, Sublime Text 2 has been installed within the <em>/usr/lib/sublime-text-2</em> directory and can be launched from the Dashboard, or by typing <code>subl</code>, <code>sublime-text</code> or <code>sublime-text-2</code> into a Terminal window.</p>

<h1>Leaving Nomensa, Joining Precedent</h1>
<p class="posted">20th April 2013</p>
<p>Yesterday was my last day working at <a href="http://www.nomensa.com" title="Nomensa">Nomensa</a>. Next week, I'll be starting as a Senior Developer at <a href="http://www.precedent.co.uk" title="Precedent">Precedent</a>.</p>
<p>The last 14 months that I've been working at Nomensa have been absolutely fantastic, and had allowed me to work on some great projects for great clients - mainly <a href="http://www.unionlearn.org" title="unionlearn">unionlearn</a> and <a href="http://www.digitaltheatreplus.com" title="Digital Theatre Plus">Digital Theatre Plus</a>. I've learned so much about accessibility and web standards, and have pretty much changed my whole approach to front-end development to accommodate best practices. I've also been involved with the Drupal Accessibility group since starting at Nomensa, and have written several accessibility-focused Drupal modules, including the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/nomensa_amp" title="The Nomensa Accessible Media Player Drupal module">Nomensa Accessible Media Player</a> module and the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/a11y_checklist" title="The accessibility checklist for Drupal">Accessibility Checklist</a>. I'll definitely be continuing my interest in accessibility, championing best practices, and incorporating it into my future work wherever possible.</p>
<p>With that all said, I'm really looking forward to starting my new role at Precedent, tackling some new challenges, and I'm sure that it'll be as great a place to work as Nomensa was.</p>

<h1>Display Git Branch or Tag Names in your Bash Prompt</h1>
<p class="posted">27th April 2013</p>
<p>Whilst watching <a href="http://drupalize.me" title="Drupalize.me">Drupalize.me</a>'s recent <a href="http://drupalize.me/series/introduction-git-series" title="Introduction to Git on Drupalize.me">Introduction to Git series</a>, I thought it was useful the way that the current Git branch or tag name was displayed in the bash prompt.</p>
<p>For example (with some slight modifications):</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">oliver@oliver-mbp:~/Development/drupal(master) $
oliver@oliver-mbp:~/Development/a11y_checklist(7.x-1.0) $
</code></pre>
<p>Here's how to do it.</p>
<p>To begin with, create a new file to contain the functions,</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">vim ~/.bash/git-prompt
</code></pre>
<p>Paste the following code into the file, and save it.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">parse_git_branch () {
git branch 2&gt; /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ (\1)/'
}
parse_git_tag () {
git describe --tags 2&gt; /dev/null
}
parse_git_branch_or_tag() {
local OUT="$(parse_git_branch)"
if [ "$OUT" == " ((no branch))" ]; then
OUT="($(parse_git_tag))";
fi
echo $OUT
}
</code></pre>
<p>Edit your <code>.bashrc</code> or <code>.bash_profile</code> file to override the PS1 value.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">vim ~/.bashrc
</code></pre>

<h1>Creating Local and Staging sites with Drupal&#039;s Domain Module Enabled</h1>
<p class="posted">17th July 2013</p>
<p>The <a href="https://drupal.org/project/domain" title="The Domain Access project on Drupal.org">Domain Access project</a> is a suite of modules that provide tools for running a group of affiliated sites from one Drupal installation and a single shared database. The issue is that the domains are stored within the database so these are copied across when the data is migrated between environments, whereas the domains are obviously going to change.</p>
<p>Rather than changing the domain settings within the Domain module itself, the best solution I think is to use table prefixes and create a different domain table per environment. With a live, staging and local domains, the tables would be named as follows:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">live_domain
local_domain
staging_domain
</code></pre>
<p>Within each site's settings.php file, define the prefix for the domain table within the databases array so that each site is looking at the correct table for its environment.</p>
<pre><code class="language-php">$databases['default']['default'] = array(
'driver' =&gt; 'mysql',
'database' =&gt; 'foobar',
'username' =&gt; 'foo',
'password' =&gt; 'bar',
'host' =&gt; 'localhost',
'prefix' =&gt; array(
'default' =&gt; '',
'domain' =&gt; 'local_', // This will use the local_domain table.
// Add any other prefixed tables here.
),
);
</code></pre>
<p>Within each environment-specific domain table, update the subdomain column to contain the appropriate domain names.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> I've just found out about the Domain Alias sub-module, which you can enable and add aliases to each domain, so you could add the aliases in this way also.</p>

<h1>Going to DrupalCon</h1>
<p class="posted">26th July 2013</p>
<p><a href="http://www.precedent.co.uk">Precedent</a> are sending myself and two of our other Drupal Developers to <a href="http://prague2013.drupal.org">Drupalcon Prague</a>.</p>
<p>Having wanted to attend the last few Drupalcons (London, especially) but not being able to, I'm definitely looking forward to this one.</p>
<p>See you there!</p>

<h1>Create a Zen Sub-theme Using Drush</h1>
<p class="posted">6th September 2013</p>
<p>First, download the <a href="https://drupal.org/project/zen" title="The Zen theme">Zen</a> theme if you haven't already done so.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">$ drush dl zen
</code></pre>
<p>This will now enable you to use the "drush zen" command.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">$ drush zen "Oliver Davies" oliverdavies --description="A Zen sub-theme for oliverdavies.co.uk" --without-rtl
</code></pre>
<p>The parameters that I'm passing it are:</p>
<ol>
<li>The human-readable name of the theme.</li>
<li>The machine-readable name of the theme.</li>
<li>The description of the theme (optional).</li>
<li>A flag telling Drush not to include any right-to-left elements within my sub-theme as these aren't needed (optional).</li>
</ol>
<p>This will create a new theme in sites/all/themes/oliverdavies.</p>
<p>For further help, type <code>$ drush help zen</code> to see the Drush help page for the zen command.</p>

<h1>Don&#039;t Bootstrap Drupal, Use Drush</h1>
<p class="posted">19th November 2013</p>
<p>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 <code>node_load()</code> and <code>db_query()</code>.</p>
<p>To bootstrap Drupal, you would need to add some additional lines of code to the stop of your script. Something like:</p>
<pre><code class="language-php">&lt;?php
// Bootstrap Drupal.
$drupal_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
define('DRUPAL_ROOT', $drupal_path);
require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
// Do stuff.
$node = node_load(1);
</code></pre>
<p>The script would need be placed in the root of your Drupal directory, and you would then have had to open a browser window and visit http://example.com/foo.php to execute it. This is where the "drush php-script" command (or "drush scr" for short) is useful, and can be used to execute the script from the command line.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">$ drush scr foo.php
</code></pre>
<p>It also means that I no longer need to manually bootstrap Drupal, so my script is much cleaner.</p>
<pre><code class="language-php">// Just do stuff.
$node = node_load(1);
</code></pre>
<p>I prefer to keep these scripts outside of my Drupal directory in a separate "scripts" directory (with Drupal in a "drupal" directory on the same level). This makes it easier to update Drupal as I don't need to worry about accidentally deleting the additional files. From within the drupal directory, I can now run the following command to go up one level, into the scripts directory and then execute the script. Note that you do not need to include the file extension.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">$ drush scr ../scripts/foo
</code></pre>
<p>Or, if you're using <a href="http://deeson-online.co.uk/labs/drupal-drush-aliases-and-how-use-them" title="Drupal, Drush aliases, and how to use them">Drush aliases</a>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">$ drush @mysite.local scr foo
</code></pre>
<p>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 <a href="http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Submodules" title="Git Submodules">Git submodule</a>.</p>

<h1>Quickly Apply Patches Using Git and curl or wget</h1>
<p class="posted">24th December 2013</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You can save time and typing by running the two commands on one line:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">$ curl http://drupal.org/files/[patch-name].patch | git apply -v
</code></pre>
<p>Or, if you don't have curl installed, you can use wget:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">$ wget -q -O - http://drupal.org/files/[patch-name].patch | git apply -v
</code></pre>
<p>These commands need to be run within the root of your Git repository (i.e. where the .git directory is).</p>
<p>These snippets were taken from <a href="https://drupal.org/node/1399218">Applying Patches with Git</a> on Drupal.org.</p>

<h1>Download Different Versions of Drupal with Drush</h1>
<p class="posted">31st December 2013</p>
<p>I still maintain a number of Drupal 6 sites and occassionally need to download Drupal 6 core as opposed to Drupal 7. I'm also experimenting with Drupal 8 so I need to download that as well.</p>
<p>By declarding the core version of Drupal, such as "drupal-6", Drush will download that instead.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">$ drush dl drupal-6
</code></pre>
<p>This downloads the most recent stable version of Drupal 6. If you don't want that, you can add the --select and additionally the --all options to be presented with an entire list to chose from.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">$ drush dl drupal-6 --select
$ drush dl drupal-6 --select --all
</code></pre>
<p>If you want the most recent development version, just type:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">$ drush dl drupal-6.x
</code></pre>
<p>The same can be done for other core versions of Drupal, from Drupal 5 upwards.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash"># This will download Drupal 5
$ drush dl drupal-5
# This will download Drupal 8
$ drush dl drupal-8
</code></pre>
<p>For a full list of the available options, type "drush help pm-download" into a Terminal window or take a look at the entry on <a href="http://drush.ws/#pm-download," title="The entry for pm-download on drush.ws">drush.ws</a>.</p>
