Sonat admin bundle allow to edit only text fields and boolean, i would like to know if there a way to override sonata make it edit datetime/date fields.
Thank you in advance!
At this time , they only support scalar types :
Theses types accept an editable parameter to edit the value from within the list action. This is currently limited to scalar types (text, integer, url...).
https://sonata-project.org/bundles/admin/master/doc/reference/field_types.html
I guess to have to digg more into the documentation to get it working. ( See how scalar types are dealt with and try to write similar logic )
Not sure in which version they added this (can't find it in the change log), but in admin bundle 3.8.0 adding 'editable' => true' to a date field in a list makes it editable alright. The value becomes underlined with a dashed line and clicking it opens a jQuery date selector.

I'd like to translate each node title as a string (using i18n). I'm trying this function in my theme template:
function theme_process_page(&$variables) {
$variables['title'] = t($variables['title']);
}
Yet when I refresh strings, none of my node titles are on the list. Is there something I'm missing?
And to clarify the function name is using my theme name, not the word "theme".
Title is my usual solution for this (I use Entity Translation, it works fine with Title module).
This module replaces node titles by a regular translatable text field. You can choose wich content type titles must be replaced (on the "Manage Field" forms, you'll find a "replace" link in the title row). Pretty useful.
Good luck
You should never use t() to translate user-supplied or variable strings. See the documentation on the function.
That said, there are some solutions, one is to use the built-in language support for entity fields. Following that you should be able to do something like this in a field hook (in a module, not in your template):
$langcode = $field_info['translatable'] ? $content_langcode : LANGUAGE_NONE;
$entity->{$field_name}[$langcode][0]['value'] = t("Salut!");
Using Plone 4.3 (from https://raw.github.com/plock/pins/master/plone-4-3) and trying to make a reference field between two dexterity contents: from IConsumibleEntry to IConsumibleItem.
If I'm understand correctly, I have to add a RelationChoice into IConsumibleEntry with a ObjPathSourceBinder and then all related IConsumibleItem will appear in the add form. I'm following http://docs.plone.org/external/plone.app.dexterity/docs/advanced/references.html so I did:
from mypackage.consumibles.consumible_item import IConsumibleItem
class IConsumibleEntry(form.Schema, IImageScaleTraversable):
item = RelationChoice(
title=_(u"Item"),
source=ObjPathSourceBinder(object_provides=IConsumibleItem.__identifier__),
required=True,
)
I run plone and created several IConsumibleItem instances, but when I try to create an IConsumibleEntry, there's nothing to chose for the 'item' field.
I tried using other expressions for ObjPathSourceBinder, like chosing by content type, but I still can't get any reference to IConsumibleItem instances.
What else is needed to do to get reference fields populated? Is in needed to modify IConsumibleItem? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.
I created a view which has three exposed filters. Everything works fine except the fact that I can neither translate or change the default string (-Any-) for the dropdowns. Is there a way to change this string to something more meaningful like "Please Select" and make it translatable so the German version displays "Bitte wählen"? I have two screen captures that may be helpful:
and
A further improvement would be the ability to change the text "any" to something like "please select a (field name here)" but I am losing hope for that =)
UPDATE
IMPORTANT: On further testing, I found that if you choose to display "-Any-" from "admin/build/views/tools", then THAT IS translatable.
For anyone who wants to just change the value of "- Any -" to something in particular then use a custom module to override that looks like this:
function yourmodulename_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
if($form_state['view']->name == 'your_view_name_here') {
$form['your_dropdown_name']['#options']['All'] = t('- Type -'); // overrides <All> on the dropdown
}
}
The reason you might want to do this is if you have 3 (for example) dropdowns for 3 separate fields. Then having on them wouldn't be very useful for a user (especially if you are not using labels).
In the code above just remember to change "yourmodulename" to the name of your module.
your_view_name_here should be the name of your view (replace dashes with underscores - for example "property-search-bar" would become "property_search_bar")
And change "your_dropdown_name" to the field name - I found this by using dsm($form) with the devel module installed and enabled. This is usually the field name of your drop down so it might be something like "field_my_custom_value".
Hope this helps anyone who needs it!
Three options:
You could change it with localisation, if you have that enabled already. Introducing localisation only for this string is far too much overhead.
You can change it with a form_alter, if you already alter the form anyway. Introducing a module with a hook_form alter for just one string is way too much (maintainance and performance) overhead.
You coud change it with a simple string override in your settings.php
In Drupal 7 (Drupal6 differs in details only)
/**
* String overrides:
*
* To override specific strings on your site with or without enabling locale
* module, add an entry to this list. This functionality allows you to change
* a small number of your site's default English language interface strings.
*
* Remove the leading hash signs to enable.
*/
$conf['locale_custom_strings_en'][''] = array(
'<Any>' => 'Whatever!',
);
Note though, that this will change every occurrance of the full string <Any> (case sensitive) to Whatever, not just the ones in that single form.
Views exposed filter label is not translatable in D6.
Go to Administer > Site building > Views and select tab tools.
Replace 'Label for "Any" value on optional single-select exposed filters: ' by the translatable '- Any -'.
Important: visit the views with exposed filters in at least one language which isn't your default language.
Then you can translate "- Any -" through Aminister > Site building > Translate interface (case sensitive).
Or you can simply use a line of jQuery code like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#views-exposed-form-url-name-display-name #edit-tid-all a").text("All");
});
The Better Exposed Filter module allows you to change the "-any-" label in a Views exposed filter.
I'd rather go with the simple solution: String Overrides.
With this you simply add a string you want to change on your site, and replace it with anything you want (Strings of course).
May be module https://www.drupal.org/project/views_advanced_labels helps?
I found it, but have not tried it yet.
if ($form['#id'] == 'views-exposed-form-project-search-block-project-search') {
foreach ($form['#info'] as $filter_info) {
$filter = $filter_info['value'];
if ($form[$filter]['#type'] == 'select') {
$form[$filter]['#options']['All'] = $filter_info['label'];
}
}
}
If you use Better Exposed Filters module, go into Exposed Form > Exposed form style: Better Exposed Filters | Settings > look for your field > Advanced Filter Options > put "- Any -|All" in the "Rewrite the text displayed" field.
In my multilanguage Drupal 6 website I need to make my CCK field default values translatable, i.e.
Hello - in the English version
Bonjour - in the French one
I cannot find this text with Translation Table, neither are these values in variable table so that I can use multilingual variables.
Do You know how to have different default values in different languages?
When you define the CCK field, you can enter a PHP code snippet to override the default value of the field.
Enter the following there :
return array(0 => array('value' => t('Hello')));
Now access a node add page with this CCK field from a non-English version so that it gets added to translatable strings.
Now you're able to translate it using the "Translate interface" menu (it might take a visit to the "create" page of your cck type first though). It doesn't require any extra modules in fact, just basic D6 (and it probably works in D5 and D7 as well).
This method is a bit of a hack. Im not sure I would deploy this without really considering the consequences. For a simple usecase it MIGHT be ok.
Create a custom module, lets say def_translate. To def_translate.module, add a function
function def_translate_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $a3 = NULL, $a4 = NULL) {
if($node->type == "sometype"
&& $op == "load"
&& $node->field_some_cck_field_type[0]['value'] == "your default value")
{
$node->field_some_cck_field_type[0]['value'] =
t($node->field_some_cck_field_type[0]['value']);
}
}
Ok - so what is this doing?
When a node is loaded, hook_nodeapi gets called, with $op set to "load". This gives us an opportunity to do manipulate the node before it is rendered. Before we do anything we check
Is this the right type of node?
Is our op = "load"?
Is the value our default value?
What we then do is pass the existing default value through the t() function. This will make the default string available to i18n translation table, and you can then use the normal way of translating strings.
*DISCLAIMER*
I have not tested this myself in production. Im not entirely sure what the effects will be. You probably want to think this through before implementing it, and you probably want to put some features in to look up the default values from the DB incase they are changed in the CCK UI.
Hope this helps - or possibly shakes a hint of a solution to your problem!
When a user login , the user will be redirect to a user profile page, which has a My account field set.
the field set has 2 fields, "Username: ", "Email address:". those 2 fields are generated by drupal.
those 2 field contained in a form which has a id ("user_profile_form") . I want to change the order of those 2 fields.
I have tried to intercept 'user_profile_form' , inside hook_form_alter.
code as follow:
$form['account']['name']['#weight'] = 1;
but that did not success, drupal did not even rendering the 'name' field, so no username: showed on browser.
What you did is absolutely correct, and probably did work. You can change the weight of the fields with the method described above.
The username field is not always rendered. The reason is that a persmission is required: change own username. If that perm is not set, you wont be allowed to alter you username and the field wont be shown.
Info on debugging.
Your info alone is not quite enough to debug. From what you describe, you are doing the right thing, but other modules could be making things a bit tricky for you. The devel module is quite good when it comes to debugging, ti defines two functions I use a lot when debugging:
dpm() pretty prints the variable to the message area using krumo.
dd() Prints / saves a variable to a log file. Useful when you can't view messages on the screen.
I would suggest that you look at the $form variable before and after you alter it.
Things that could make it go wrong:
Did you remember to pass the $form variable by reference using the & notation?
Is another module altering your form after you?
Are you checking for the correct form id, so you alter the correct form?
These are some pointers, before you bring more info, all I can do is guess to what your problem exactly can be. I did something like this a few days ago so I know what you describe shouldn't be a problem.
