You can use the path module to force a simple redirect in Drupal. Say you have a Drupal site with only one blog. When people access the page myWebsite.com/blog, you may actually want them to see the page at myWebsite.com/blog/x where x is the ONE blogger user hi-dee. (The page at myWebsite.com/blog has for title Blogs.) A simple redirect is achievable using the path module, part of the default Drupal distribution. Read more →

The following exercise consists in theming the contact form in Drupal 6. Once we're done, it will look like we'll have created two fall-back-on 'pages' for contact forms, one page/form to 'request a quote' at Randy.com/contact/quote, and an other page/form for general inquiries at Randy.com/contact/info. The trick here — if there's one — consists in theming the contact form differently based on the requested URI.
This exercise will show you how to:

The attached ebook, Files in Drupal, has been expanded and updated to account for changes in Drupal 6.
— Update, May 10th, 2008.
You'll find in the pdf document attached to this posting “10 things you ought to know” about file download in Drupal, from a developer’s perspective.

The document is 6 11 16 17 pages long, it has been expanded and updated to account for changes in Drupal 5 and 6. I also added a 'funny' cover to the book. (My modest attempt at humour.)

The following exercise consists in moving pieces of code around, code that I did not write myself. Credit for the code goes to Joakim Stai (nicknamed 'ximo' on Drupal.org), the maintainer of the excellent Node form layouts module, as well as to the Usability group.
This exercise is all about gaining experience in:

The new title is Building powerful and robust websites with Drupal 6, and it contains 362 pages with the index — 100 more pages than there was in the first book.

I’m currently working on a Drupal 6 theming ebook. The beta ebook attached to this posting is for Drupal 5.

Christina is her real first name. The bulk of the solutions you'll find in the Shopify community forums are from her. She used to provide support more or less on a daily basis for many years. She doesn't hold a Computer Science degree, but boy is she a shrewd programmer nevertheless. Christina is brilliant, self-taught, wise and way too generous. Read more →

My idea is to write a Photoshop tutorial, my first one, that would show how to apply realistic drop shadows to photos. Once you get desired result, you can slice your image up and, using CSS rules, apply creative shadows, hence 3d effect, to any image, Drupal block, Drupal box, etc. Similar tutorials are all over the web — well, not exactly, but there are quite a few of them. However, I had difficulty understanding the best of them. I clarified the whole process for myself, and have decided to dump it here. Lovely photo. Attached is my Photoshop CS2 file. The remaining step is to slice the image, of course. (If you examine the above image, you'll notice that I still have work to do to achieve truly realistic results. For example, the color of the 'white' outline is not realistic at the bottom.)
