I have a multilingual website in Drupal 7. I have a view to display content and this view is in code in one of my custom module. I am not getting translation when view is in code and works fine when it's in database. Let me try to explain:
I added content field and rewrite the output of this field, wrapped
with t() and excluded from display. I added another Global custom
field and used replacement pattern to display that content field. I
exported the view and saved it in code in one of custom module.
Now view is in code and everything is working fine as expected in default language
(English). When I switched the language, it only show English for
that content field and everything else showing translation.
I saved the view in Views UI without any change and now view is in
database. I refreshed the page and I got the translation.
Any idea or help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Try writing an update script that saves your view that's in code into the database with $view->save();
When you update the view, you will always need an update script that updates the view in the database:
$view->delete();
ctools_include('object-cache');
ctools_object_cache_clear('view', $view->name);
$view->save();

I've been using the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin for quite a while now. It's absolutely awesome but I'm experiencing some behaviour that is not the norm.
I've noticed that if I change the page template that is assigned to a set of custom fields, the pages that ran off that template (no longer assigned to those fields) effectively holds onto those custom fields and thus renders correctly on the site.
E.g.
ACF Partner Fields are assigned to a Partners Template that has a number of pages running of it.
If I assign these fields to another template, all of the pages running of the Partners template, still render correctly.
I'm not sure I've ever experienced that before and it is causing issues with another plugin that is being integrated for translation.
Any ideas what might be happening?
All time and help is appreciated.
When you change the template, your only changing where those fields appear on the backend and what post type or location they write to in the database. The database table for those unassigned posts still contains the information form those ACF, they just won't be written to any longer.
I am building a website using drupal which allows users to create projects and then invite other users to join their projects.
I have created a content type- "project" for the main task. I can successfully edit this content type and publish it, however, when I get to the screen pictured here: http://imgur.com/t49pl the "view" tab is always empty. Any ideas?
what tulvit said, however...
I would recommend creating a View to display this content anyway. anything generated by the node is always difficult to present as you want, so to solve this issue, just create a View to output the content.
Links require SDL Live Content login.
We can choose default schema (and a mandatory option) in folder properties. New components in these folders will have the schema selected with appropriate fields filled out.
We can choose default page template for structure group (SG) properties. New pages in these SG will have the page template selected.
Do we have a similar option for page metadata such that in a given SG, author gets both page template and predetermined page metadata (fields) for either:
page creation
page template selection
We can do this easily with Inline Editing (SiteEdit) and page prototypes. But how would you configure or implement this type of requirement with the Content Manager Explorer?
I'd say there are a number of ways to achieve this:
1) Using the UI 'Page Types' - If the page you are using as the page type this should keep that same metadata. *I've not tested this!!! maybe you could confirm?
2) GUI extension - When a page template is selected a page metadata is selected based on the page template.
3) Event system. I'm not sure how well this would work as it would likely have to be on the creation of the page (checking if a default template is used) or on save if a template is used and a metadata schema isn't selected... but then if there is mandatory metadata etc etc.
4) The page template. This will set the metadata (on publish or preview) - or warn a user that a specific metadata should be set for this given page template.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Very interesting question and I can see the benefits of this functionality for Editors. I don't have the answer for you. But AFAIK, even event system might not be relevant here since there are no events fired when you start creating a page unless we save the page. GUI Extension a possibility?
When you create a new item, this takes place via the GetNewitem() method in the API (or GetNewObject() in old money). I always thought there should have been separate events system hooks for this activity than for that of modifying an existing item. I once suggested this on ideas.sdltridion.com with regard to Components, however someone referred me to the OnSchemaGetInstanceDataPost event hook, and the discussion was over.
So in the case of a new component, the schema is automatically queried, and via the hook, you can interfere with the default data. So far so good, but I still believe that it would be generically useful to be able to modify the default data of any item type when first created.
I've created a custom page for a specific vocabulary (using zen theme)
page--vocabulary--2.tpl.php
Works so far as I can customise the page, but I cannot for the life of me work out how to render a custom field (field_banner). Very new to drupal, I can find the field at
$page['content']['term']['#term']->field_banner
Basically, on a per 'term' basis, I want to display an array of images (field_banner) at the header of the template. Hope my question makes sense, still overwhelmed by the Drupal way of thinking, so rather confused!
Firstly you need to make sure the field gets loaded on that page. Is it a node ?
What I suggest is you install the dev module and when you see your page you should see dev tab. In that tab you need to find your field set to access. Once you find it in the list then you can access it in your template file.
The code should look something like this
$node->field_link['und'][0]['value']
I need a help displaying a specific View result in a page which the user created it.
story...
"User X has created a Page called My Store and UserX has products which was created in custom Content Item."
Now how do I show this UserX's products in his My Store page?
I have already made a view called User_Store_View, I added a Page Display and on Page Settings:Path, the value was "node/%".. now I guess my problem is on the Arguments?
The path should be something like my-store and it should have an argument of user id. Given your requirements I think setting the default behaviour for the argument being invalid or not being supplied to an empty result set would be the most sensible(I think the default is show all). That may be all you really need.
However, if your product is a type that you've created yourself you will need to do some behind the scenes wiring to expose all your fields to Views; it's almost always better to build a content type using CCK so it's already hooked up to Views. And D7 is a different beast in this regard, with fields part of core and whatnot, so I can't help you out there.
