I have created a customized theme called "test", and I am trying to display the search results.
I added the function test_preprocess_search_results() to the template.php (copied the code from drupal page "function template_preprocess_search_results", then copy the search-result.tpl.php from search module to the "test"'s template folder.
function test_preprocess_search_results(&$variables) {
$variables['search_results'] = '';
if (!empty($variables['module'])) {
$variables['module'] = check_plain($variables['module']);
}
foreach ($variables['results'] as $result) {
$variables['search_results'] .= theme('search_result', array('result' => $result, 'module' => $variables['module']));
}
$variables['pager'] = theme('pager', array('tags' => NULL));
$variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'search_results__' . $variables['module'];
}
I am new in drupal, my concern is how can I make the search result display in some certain div which claimed in my page.tpl.php file? Do something like <?php print render($page['search_result']); ?> in page.tpl.php div ? I am not sure how does the default theme know where to display the search result? Can anyone help thanks
ps: after what I did, and refresh the cache, nothing show up
For search results you should use the search-results.tpl.php (all results list) and search-result.tpl.php (single list item) templates. Copy them from ROOT/modules/search folder into your theme folder and override them as you prefer.

I am having a bit of trouble here understanding how to do the following. I have searched for weeks now but cannot seem to find what I am looking for.
I have a custom post type 'product' and want to change which template gets loaded for the single product page as well as the archive for the products. I am using the following code to load include and load templates.
add_filter('template_include', function() {
if (is_post_type_archive('product')) {
$templatefilename = 'archive-product.php';
$template = WPVS_PATH . 'templates/' . $templatefilename;
return $template;
}
if ('product' == get_post_type() ){
$templatefilename = 'single-product.php';
$template = WPVS_PATH . 'templates/' . $templatefilename;
return $template;
}
});
The problem I am having is that it replaces the current theme's template instead of just the inner part of the content and archive areas.
Here is what I want to achieve:
Create a custom post type 'product' in a plugin - DONE (Was kinda easy!)
When opening a single product only change the content part. - I can do this with the_content filter hook. Simple enough. Any other suggestions is welcome.
When I go to the archive view for the 'product' custom post type I don't want to have it load the theme's default archive (list) view but instead a grid view from my plugin which I cannot seem to get right. I only want to change the inner part of the template, not the whole page.
I have created this plugin a few weeks ago using only shortcodes which works good but want to see if I can do it without the use of shortcodes by means of creating the custom post type and changing the inner template parts of the current active theme.
Can anybody steer me into the right direction here?
If I create a theme I can do what I am looking for but I want to create this into a plugin instead without adding or making changes to the active theme. The plugin should handle what is needed.
The same issue is discussed here but what I want is to develop something that is theme independent. No changes should be made in theme files and no theme files should be copied to the plugin.
WP - Use file in plugin directory as custom Page Template?
Recently I also had the same problem. Here's how I worked it out.
template_include filter accepts a parameter which is the selected template that you want to override (this what you are missing in your code).
I don't know but sometimes the filter hook need higher priority to work like 9999. But first check if it work with default priority, if don't change it.
I assume your both archive and single product template both have include get_header() and get_footer() which can be used for default selected theme (Or if the theme has different setup, setup accordingly).
This is simplified code:
add_filter('template_include', function($default_template) {
if (is_post_type_archive('product')) {
$templatefilename = 'archive-product.php';
$template = WPVS_PATH . 'templates/' . $templatefilename;
$default_template = $template;
} else if ('product' == get_post_type() ) {
$templatefilename = 'single-product.php';
$template = WPVS_PATH . 'templates/' . $templatefilename;
$default_template = $template;
}
// Load new template also fallback if both condition fails load default
return $default_template;
}, 9999); // set priority, only if not worked with default one
The best option in this case is to provide a shortcode to the user. So they can place it on any page that they want (or that you auto generate). That way you will place your content inside their theme.
Something like this:
add_shortcode( 'slotsl-game', 'embed_game' );
/**
* Print the game
* #return false|string
*/
function embed_game(){
ob_start();
$game = get_post();
include_once SLOTSL_PLUGIN_DIR . 'templates/slotsl-single-game.php';
return ob_get_clean();
}
I've successfully created a custom view template for my Drupal 7 site but am having issues adding attributes to the content which is outputted. I've searched high and low for the answer to this but to no avail.
I have a view called: views-view-fields--homepage-articles.tpl.php
I am printing content like :
$fields['title']->content
This is fine and expected, and outputs:
Title
But I want to add classes to it - how? I'm thinking I need to write a hook, but I cannot find this documented anywhere. At the moment my solution is a string replace:
<?php print str_replace('<a ', '<a class="brand-blue uppercase nodecoration"', $fields['title']->content); ?>
As you can imagine, this is not a satisfactory or long-term solution.
Many thanks!
You should be able to add the classes to the field using template_preprocess_views_view_fields().
Edit: Couldn't do it the way I thought, but you can overwrite the output of the field like so:
function MY_THEME_preprocess_views_view_fields(&$vars) {
$view = $vars['view'];
if ($view->name == 'node_listing') {
foreach ($vars['fields'] as $id => $field) {
if ($id == 'title') {
$field_output = l($view->result[$view->row_index]->node_title, 'node/'. $view->result[$view->row_index]->nid, array('attributes' => array('class' => 'brand-blue uppercase nodecoration')));
$vars['fields'][$id]->content = $field_output;
}
}
}
}
Have you tried using Semantic Views? https://drupal.org/project/semanticviews - that way you can override the classes within the UI instead of template files, may suit your needs better.
I am in a node, I created a field using "References" module to relate one content type to another. Now... The 2 content type are "PRACTISE" (a node with title, description ecc...) and "TECHNOLOGY", a node with just logo images. I want to show related logo into node--practise.tpl.php. How can i do this in DP7?
I wouldn't do it directly in the template file, instead you'd be better off implementing hook_preprocess_node in your theme's template.php file to pass the logo(s) in as a variable. The logic is the same either way:
function mytheme_preprocess_node(&$vars) {
$node = $vars['node'];
if ($node->type == 'practise') {
$related_node_nid = $node->field_related_field_name['und'][0]['nid'];
$related_node = node_load($related_node_nid);
$logos = '';
foreach ($related_node->field_logo_field_name['und'] as $img) {
$logos .= theme('image', array('path' => $img['uri'], 'alt' => 'Alt text'));
}
$vars['related_logos'] = $logos;
}
}
Then in your template.php file you will have the variable $logos which will contain the list of logos you built up in the preprocess function. Obviously you can tailer the HTML to suit your needs, and you need to swap in the correct field names for field_related_field_name and field_logo_field_name.
I want a warning message displayed in the comment form when people try to add comments:
"Please write comments in correct
grammatical English, otherwise they
will not published"
How can I do it?
Here is how you can do it by using hook_form_alter in your own module:
function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
switch ($form_id) {
case "comment_form":
$form['#prefix'] .= "<div><p>Show some text before the comment form.</p></div>";
break;
}
}
You can alter the comment form so that your guidelines are added to it. There are a handful of ways to alter forms in Drupal. You can do it in your theme's template.php file (which I prefer for simple changes) or in a custom module. This article describes both methods, in Drupal 5 and 6, however not for the form you're interested in. However, the method used is the same that leads to the solution below. This is how you can make the change via template.php:
The following PHP code can be added to your theme's template.php file:
function YOURTHEME_theme() {
return array(
'comment_form' => array(
'arguments' => array('form' => NULL),
),
);
}
function YOURTHEME_comment_form($form) {
$output = '';
$output .= '<div class="comment-help">' . t('Please write comments in correct grammatical English, otherwise they will not published.') . '</div>';
$output .= drupal_render($form);
return $output;
}
Replace YOURTHEME with the name of your theme. If you already have a YOURTHEME_theme function you will need to add the 'comment_form' key to the array it is already returning. I doubt you do, but it's worth mentioning just in case.
A note: you should not be editing any of the themes in /themes, but you should have made a new theme or copied and renamed any of those themes into /sites/default/themes or /sites/all/themes.
The above code is based on code from this page.
Once you are inside a hook_form_alter function you can use the Development module (http://drupal.org/project/devel) dpm() function in place of var_dump to help view and isolate which properties to change in the big form arrays. I find this is a must-have when trying to figure out changes to an existing form. It puts all the elements of the form array into clickable rows.
In Drupal 7 go to
admin/structure/types/manage/mycontenttype/comment/fields/comment_body
There you can add your text. It will be shown below the field as usual. If you want the warning displayed above the field, you'd have to go the form_alter way.
I'm looking for a plugin (or better yet, not a plugin) for wordpress that lets me generate standard content elements, or includes for posts and pages.
For example, my_content_1 could be:
buy it now for $23!!
Which could then be included in posts and pages using some kind of syntax (or whatever) like:
Welcome to my site, blah blah blah.. check out this product - %my_content_1%
Not looking for anything fancy, anything that does this sort of thing would be awesome.
The point of this being much like a regular php include I could have the same information updated in one place and applied over many pages/posts.
I found something that is pretty much what I'm looking for:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/reusables/
However, other suggestions would be good as I'm not too confident in the quality of the code for that plugin.
Not sure about a plugin, but how about simply creating something yourself? If you created a PHP page and set up variables such as
$content->title = "This is a title"
$content->smallText = "Insert some short paragraph here"
And then just include it in your header? You could store it in your theme directory and then call it like so
<?php $themeFolder = get_bloginfo("template_url"); ?>
<?php include($themeFolder."/content.php") ?>
Would that be suitable?
How about creating a few files and link them in using shortcode?
ie: open your themes/functions.php file add this..
<?php
function wp_my_shortcodes($atts)
{
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'type' => '', //author, rss, adverts
), $atts));
switch($type) {
case 'author' : $display = wp_display_author_info(); break;
case 'rssview' : $display = wp_display_rss_info(); break;
case 'adverts' : $display = wp_display_adverts(); break;
default : $display = wp_display_author_info(); break;
}
return $display ;
}
add_shortcode('mycontent', wp_my_shortcodes);
function wp_display_author_info()
{
include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/my_author_info.php');
}
function wp_display_rss_info()
{
include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/my_rss_info.php');
}
function wp_display_adverts()
{
include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/my_adverts.php');
}
?>
using shortcodes inside your posts you can then bring in which ever piece of content that you want.. in the example above I've created 3 pages in the template root folder called
my_author_info.php, my_rss_info.php, my_adverts.php all of which speak for themself..
my_author_info.php
this page could use the the_author_meta() to populate a div box with included author info,
my_rss_info.php
include your subscription box to let users subscribe to your blog
my_adverts.php
include 4x 125x125 adverts?
so in the post i could use
[mycontent type='author']
[mycontent type='rssview']
[mycontent type='adverts']
if no argument is added to the shortcode then the default view is shown, in this case..
[mycontent]
would return the authorview as default...
this would then include that file in the content...
just remember to create the included files :)
