(PHP) Custom Drupal View Field - brownrl

Wed, 26 Jun 2013 20:28:56 UTC

This is a custom field handler for a Drupal view. Sometimes you have two or more fields in a content type and you want to do a test on them to see if both are empty or both full or exclusive and return that as a field. There are probably ways to do this in the admin/view configuration. However, this code also serves as a general skeleton for just any old custom field handler. * Make sure that all files that you make/add to your module that you add to your .info file. If you forget this you will bash your head in later trying to figure WTF this is not working.

(PHP) Image Resize on the Fly - brownrl

Sat, 18 May 2013 08:21:43 UTC

This is my simple image resizer on the fly thing. -- WARNING -- Resizing and showing images on the fly could potentially kill your server or make the website slow. Ideally, this should save the resized image in a cache. However, more often than not this method just works, no one complains, and I don't have to make some writable caching directory thing. If anyting this could give you a good start on how you really want to handle your images.

This is a simple script to go into your downloads directory ( mac ). Move everything to a .YYYY-MM-DD folder. Thus you Downloads directory gets cleaned up and anything that was there has been placed into a hidden folder for finding later. My Downloads folder is just always full of things but I don't want to blast it empty. Re-getting a file from some website is sometimes hard to remember. So I move everything to a backup and start again.

(PHP) PHP generateCode - brownrl

Mon, 04 Apr 2011 18:35:42 UTC

Some times you need to generate a code for a field in a db and that code can't be repeated either... Yes, I know that if two people submit their data at almost the exact same time that it could be possible that they have the same code. OMG OMG OMG! I'll take the 0.0000000001% chance that it will happen. You could get around this by generating a separate table of pre-made codes and each time you use one you take it and mark it as used.
