I've got local tasks displayed as tabs on my users' profile page.
Those local tasks are added by various modules.
I need to change the order of those tabs, and change some of their labels.
I can't figure out how to do that.
I tried using the menu_tokens module to replace those tabs by a real, customizable menu, but unfortunately it's not working correctly in Drupal 9 yet and breaks the whole website. Maybe there's another way which I'm not aware of?
Use hook_local_tasks_alter hook inside your custom module. I've checked and it's still valid in d9.
Inside your module_name.module file place a function named according to the convention function module_name_local_tasks_alter(&$local_tasks) {
Place there a breakpoint or simply var dump the local tasks, you will see, how many local tasks tab goes through this function.
In the end you will find entity.user.canonical, just overwrite the item weight in similar manner:
$local_tasks['entity.user.canonical']['weight'] = -3;
$local_tasks['entity.user.edit_form']['weight'] = -2;

I have made a script that takes files from directory, and sends them to backburner for network rendering. When I run the script it renders fine but without the render elements they dont show in the backburner monitor nor do they save.
If I open some of the files manualy and send them to render with backburner it works fine, but not with the script?
The render element is VrayAlpha, but I dont think it matters.
This is the code Im using
on btnRender pressed do
(
outputFilesDir = textModelsOut.text + "*.max"
toRender = getFiles outputFilesDir
man = NetRender.GetManager()
man.connect #automatic "255.255.255.0"
man.GetControl()
for s in toRender do
(
renderModelPath = getFilenamePath s + filenameFromPath s
job = man.newJob file:renderModelPath
job.Submit()
)
man.Disconnect()
)
And this is quote from maxscript documentation, it says that render element data will not be available but it will be processed.
Jobs can not have maps included, and render element data will not be
available for submitted job but render elements will process
correctly. These problems are resent when submitting a job from a
file, but not when submitting the current scene.
Anyways my solution was to use job.newJob() to open each scene and submit the current scene.
You should always include your code (or at least some of it) so that we can check it for issues and test it our selves.
However, I usually use a struct called NetRenderAutomation, developed by Gravey.
You can find it here:

I haven't had any problems with it, and it is fairly easy to use, and you are even allowed to modify it, if you need some special features for your self.
Hope you can use the answer.
Else feel free to post some code, and I'll look into it.
I have a Panel Page set up with the path node/%node/foo and all works fine when I visit a link such as node/6/foo. However, when I visit nodealias/foo it doesn't work at all. Is it possible to get panels to work with pathauto in this way?
I am thinking I may have to implement the hook hook_url_inbound_alter and change the url myself.
I also posted a support request in the panels module here: http://drupal.org/node/1219796
As Alexey answers panels doesn't care about aliases, it only sees node/%nid
Here's a good explanation that is valid still for D7:
http://drupal.org/node/211338
To summarize and bring it up to date for D7:
Export your variant for the panel you've created and import it into the panel that overrides the default node display in Drupal.
Add Criterias to the variant so the Panel/variant is only used for the type(s) of content you want to display with this variant.
Voila :) (read the discussion at the link, else the summary will be difficult to understand)
Hope this helps - I myself have spend some time googling and trying to understand this, and I was also confused by the fact that Views DOES care about aliases...
I fixed this using the following code, you would need to alter the pattern to match the pattern of your url aliases and alter the function name to match your module's name.
function brooklands_url_inbound_alter(&$path, $original_path, $path_language) {
$pattern = '#^works\/[A-Za-z0-9]+(-[A-Za-z0-9]+)*\/images(\/\d+)?$#';
if(preg_match($pattern, $original_path)) {
$snip = substr($original_path, 0, strrpos($original_path, '/images'));
$system_path = drupal_lookup_path('source', $snip);
if($system_path) {
$tail = substr($original_path, strrpos($original_path, '/images'));
$path = $system_path . $tail;
}
}
}
You can use this module Subpathauto
it automatically makes the alias to work with subpaths, such as: nodealias/foo
The nodealias is the full alias of your node with nid=6. The third argument (foo) is added through hook_menu() by panels module to the exact alias (node/%nid/%anythingelse) and it is NOT applied to your aliased URL, so you can not use nodealias/foo url to access your panel just because it is not 'hooked' by panels module.
Changing url manually is a good idea, I think.
I have a Drupal filter module whose output I would like to alter, depending on where the output is going to be displayed. Specifically, I want to the filter to give the full output for nodes, but trim the content down for blocks.
I don't think this would be possible. It's hard enough to figure out what context something is being displayed in. It's doable but quite hard to code on your own. However the way the filter system works I don't think its possible within a filter to determine then context of the text being filtered. It's simply not made for something like that.
I'm the OP (but just registered an account).
I did manage to find a solution/workaround. Here's what I did:
Create block.tpl.php in my module which is a copy from system/block.tpl.php, with a constant added at the top.
Put my template file at the head of the theme registry using hook_theme_registry_alter():
function hook_theme_registry_alter(&$theme_registry) {
// using our own block.tpl.php file.
$theme_registry['block']['template'] = 'block';
$theme_registry['block']['path'] = drupal_get_path('module', 'module_name');
$theme_registry['block']['type'] = 'module';
$theme_registry['block']['theme path'] = drupal_get_path('module', 'module_name');
$theme_registry['block']['theme paths'] = Array();
}
Checked for the constant while constructing the filter output, changing as necessary.
Celebrated the outcome.
A bit of a followup from a previous question.
As I mentioned in that question, my overall goal is to call a Ruby script after ImageCache does its magic with generating thumbnails and whatnot.
Sebi's suggestion from this question involved using hook_nodeapi.
Sadly, my Drupal knowledge of creating modules and/or hacking into existing modules is pretty limited.
So, for this question:
Should I create my own module or attempt to modify the ImageCache module?
How do I go about getting the generated thumbnail path (from ImageCache) to pass into my Ruby script?
edit
I found this question searching through SO...
Is it possible to do something similar in the _imagecache_cache function that would do what I want?
ie
function _imagecache_cache($presetname, $path) {
...
...
// check if deriv exists... (file was created between apaches request handler and reaching this code)
// otherwise try to create the derivative.
if (file_exists($dst) || imagecache_build_derivative($preset['actions'], $src, $dst)) {
imagecache_transfer($dst);
// call ruby script here
call('MY RUBY SCRIPT');
}
Don't hack into imagecache, remember every time you hack core/contrib modules god kills a kitten ;)
You should create a module that invokes hook_nodeapi, look at the api documentation to find the correct entry point for your script, nodeapi works on various different levels of the node process so you have to pick the correct one for you (it should become clear when you check the link out) http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_nodeapi
You won't be able to call the function you've shown because it is private so you'll have to find another route.
You could try and build the path up manually, you should be able to pull out the filename of the uploaded file and then append it to the directory structure, ugly but it should work. e.g.
If the uploaded file is called test123.jpg then it should be in /files/imagecache/thumbnails/test123/jpg (or something similar).
Hope it helps.
I would like to restrict the fields while creating a new post in WordPress. For the title, it should not exceed 40 characters. For the content, it should not exceed 400 characters. If these maximum values are exceeded, I would like to show an error message and not let the user continue. How do I do that in WordPress?
You should be able to use wordpress filters to modify the code that gets outputted when the editor is called. Essentially you would want to use it to insert some javascript and an extra div tag to display your error, then just read the contents of the "editorcontainer" id and show the error once it reaches a certain character limit.
I don't have the time at the moment to write a case example, but depending on your skill level, the functions you are looking for are:
apply_filters("the_editor", "customfunction_limitarea");
Where customfunction_limit area is your created function to insert the javascript. You can see how the_editor is currently called and how the default filters are applied in "wp-includes\general-template.php" on line 1822. The default looks like this:
$the_editor = apply_filters('the_editor', "<div id='editorcontainer'><textarea rows='$rows'$class cols='40' name='$id' tabindex='$tab_index' id='$id'>%s</textarea></div>\n");
I would try modifying that statement by placing a new filter in a functions.php file located in your themes directory, that way you don't have to worry about it getting over-written during an update. Otherwise, if you absolutely have to edit the wordpress core (generally a no-no), general_template.php would be the place to do it I think.
Essentially just read up on wordpress filters a little bit (be warned there's not a ton of documentation or examples available for it other than the basic stuff), and that should provide everything you need. The input verification end is easy enough to find scripts, just google jquery post limiting. Something like this might be exactly what your looking for:
