How to turn off Vertical Tabs for a specific content type

Submitted by Aaron on Wed, 09/21/2011 - 11:23

I rarely do any heavy structural changes to node edit pages, so until today I hadn't ever had a reason to disable vertical tabs on a specific content type, but there's a first time for everything.

Now there are people who recommend turning it off by editing the $conf variable in the settings.php file... however, this is not an option on this particular site since it is running on Aegir, which automatically rewrites the settings.php file. So I had to find another way. I took a look at the vertical tabs code and came up with an easy solution.

Sliding Menus on Hover

Submitted by stemaco on Sun, 12/05/2010 - 11:11

Hi Aaron,

I am trying to create a menu similar to http://www.monkeymagic.com.au/ where the menu slides down or at least enlarges on mouse over. I have tried a few different modules with no luck. Your help is much appreciated.

I also am trying to make a long menu title wrap. I tried Menu HTML but that killed my image background for the menu item.

Thanks,

Jon

CCK create automatically updating year select field

Submitted by Aaron on Sat, 09/11/2010 - 03:38

When you want to create a list of years as a select field in CCK ranging from some set date in the past to the current date you have a couple of options. The first option would be to go through and manually enter every year from that date to present. This may be ok if you only are working with a date range of 3 or 4 years, but what if you want to list the years since the 1800s. Obviously that list would be painful to make, and what's worse you would have to make sure the site was updated every year by someone competent enough not to destroy the information.

How to create a custom template file for a form with Zen subthemes

Submitted by Aaron on Thu, 09/02/2010 - 00:20

There are two stages of understanding needed in order to create a template file for a form in a Zen subtheme. The first level in my opinion is to understand how to achieve that same result in a normal theme.

In a normal theme all we need to know in order to create a working tpl (template file) for a form is the form id in question and the format to connect that form to the tpl from within the template.php file.

Custom Front Page showing several box based on taxonomy

Submitted by MXT on Tue, 07/07/2009 - 12:10

Hi all,

Which is the best way to customize front page of my site?

  1. I have a vocaboulary named "CATEGORIES"
  2. Example of categories (first level of terms) are: "music", "art", "sport"
  3. Every category has is own sub-terms, e.g.:
    • music -> rock, country, jazz
    • art -> photos, sculpture
    • sport -> basketball, football, hockey

In my home page i would have a box for every category, listing all recent posts for that category (and posts of related subterms), like this:

Drupal advanced search page image button theming

Submitted by metazai on Mon, 06/29/2009 - 01:12

Greetings. I have successfully themed a drupal 6 search form using the csearch methodology as found on the web. Everything looks great, the search box and new image submit button are in the header. The problem is that the same image submit button is drastically shifted out of site on the advanced search page itself, what shows on the breadcrumb as Home >> Search. In IE, I see the top 3 or 4 pixels of it as though it has dropped down, and in Firefox it is cut off on the right and left sides.

JQuery Menu / Superfish Compatability

Submitted by jayburgh on Wed, 03/11/2009 - 22:03

I've been reading "Drupal 6 - Ultimate Community Site Guide" - it's a tutorial on how drupalfun.org was built. Early on it suggests using the Pixture theme and the DHTML Menu module. In researching these, it appears that the Pixture Extended theme and JQuery Menu module might be better alternatives. Since Pixture Extended uses Superfish menus (a jQuery plugin), I'm wondering if there might be conflicts in combining the two.

Here is the part of the documentation for the theme regarding the Superfish Drop Menu:

1) Build a standard drupal menu. Set the correct levels to "expanded".
