At the moment I may have a title like
Welcome to my new Website made using Drupal
This title is splitting onto two lines but I have no control where the break takes place.
I would much rather have:
Welcome to my new Website
made using Drupal
To do this I decided the best thing to do is to create a new CCK field to house the title and insert a into it.
I will leave the normal title there and fill it in as well so it appears in the title bar correctly and in the search results etc.
I can get my custom cck field(text) using the following code in my theme:
<?php print $node->field_page_title[0]['safe'] ?>
The problem is that this is coming across as
<p>Welcome to my new Website<br /> made using Drupal</p>
I need to strip the p tags away. I can do this in the theme layer but to me it would make more sense to do it in a module because there will not be a situation where I would want the tags.
What hook would I need to use to change this. Do you think I am going about this in the best way?
Why don't you insert the <br /> tag in the node title and allow it in your theme.

I just checked the feed title and some of the post titles also and is very much confused. The title is duplicating itself like: Site Title | Site Title. Here is the link of the feed:
http://www.dharamshalatravels.com/feed
Please let me know any solutions for this. I have checked the core files and there is no problems in those files.
Thanks in Advance
I usually replace the core feeds:

I'll usually make a custom template and assign it to a page.
In the custom template I'll build my own RSS.
The title is made by: <title><?php bloginfo_rss('name'); wp_title_rss(); ?></title>
both these functions can be filtered.
with add_filter('wp_title_rss','');
and add_filter('bloginfo_rss','');
Some template or plugin is probably screwing this up.
add you own filters to find out which of the two (if not both?) is messing it up and apply your own filter.
Usually I set up pages in Wordpress by putting all the HTML in and the client will edit the content in the WYSIWYG editor
This is great, until they accidentally delete a div or break something.
What is the correct way to go about this making it idiot proof, so that they can change titles, paragraphs etc without potentially deleting parts of the structure?
If your client does not know HTML, and you know this going into the project, the only things he/she should be inputting in the page editor are words, uploaded media, and elements that can be inserted using the visual editor. It's a pain in the butt, but your theme should be the part that's "idiot proof".
Build your theme to wrap the_content(); in a div, and style all the potential elements that can be input accordingly. Only rely on elements that can be added using the CKEditor.
e.g. (within the loop, in a theme template file)
<div id="myContentDiv">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
Then your CSS:
#myContentDiv p {
}
#myContentDiv ul {
}
etc.
There's a few options that comes to me right now:
Use jquery plugins to get columns (which is pretty bad IMHO)
Use a plugin with shortcodes (so you wrap each column with them), which is good but user may screw it up yet
Use custom fields (like one text area "Right column content", then you have another text area "Left column content" and so on)
All these 3 are quite easy to implement! :)

I have recently started on Drupal (v 7) to create a small company website.
After much reading and watching tutorials, I have started to create my new theme from scratch. I have defined regions and customised the page.tpl.php file to place them into the template (and node.tpl.php etc). All these changes are working and the layout is looking good, and any item I add appears in the main content output.
In my footer region, I have created a block in which I would like links to appear. I have also created a content-type called footer links (with relevant fields) and I have created a couple items of content for it.
The block is showing fine (the title and block body appear). However, despite scouring the documentation, I am not sure what needs to be done to make the items of content (footer links) appear in this block.
Any help appreciated, thanks!
info file snippet for a region
regions[footer_one] = Footer Column One
... and code in page.tpl.php
<div class="one">
<?php if ($page['footer_one']): ?>
<?php print render($page['footer_one']); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
If you just need simple footer links, no need to create a content type for this, you can simple create a menu and add a menu block in footer.
If you really want to use your own content type for these links, you can create a view (with views module) to display what you want in a block.
About creating a theme from scratch, did you try before to create a sub theme ?
PS: I don't think drupal is a good cms for "small company website".
Views is really powerful and sounds like it will do exactly what you need. Otherwise, you can create a menu for your items and place that menu in your region as well.
Regarding your original code, you'd probably need to grab the information about the nodes from the database in order to construct a list on your own, but views basically does that for you :)
I want to add some functionality to my Drupal 6 module: I want to insert an image next to certain node titles (it involves a span and an img tag). I thought I could do this by just implementing mymodule_preprocess_node() and modifying the title. However, Drupal strips out all tags to avoid XSS attacks.
I've seen many solutions that involve the theme layer (most commonly http://drupal.org/node/28537), but I want to do this in my module, not in the theme. I don't want to modify any .tpl.php files or template.php. Can anyone give me tips on how to do this?
You mention that you've tried preprocess_node(), and are correct that, if you are storing the img tag as part of the node title, Drupal will indeed strip that out, as it runs $node->title through check_plain in template_preprocess_node().
My suggestion would be to store the actual image as an image field (using some combination of the imagefield module and imagecache for sizing), set the display of that field to be hidden on the CCK display tab for the given content type, and then attach the image to be part of the $title variable in your module's preprocess function. This solution would also allow you to display that image next to the title in any views you may need to create.
By 'certain node titles' - do you mean all nodes titles from certain node types?
If so, you can likely style the node using only CSS. By default all nodes will have a class that corresponds to the node type. Using CSS background images, you can add an image to the node title.
Your module can call drupal_add_css and add in any required CSS into the page. This way, it is theme independent.
I think the easier way is with javascript / Jquery.
You create a Jquery script which is called only in certain types of nodes and pass the number of views from drupal to the jscript.
You can call drupal_add_js() inside your module_preprocess_node and pass a variable which contains the number of views or the image link to the script. Something like this:
<?php
drupal_add_js("var mymodule_imagelink = " . drupal_to_js($imagelink) . ";", 'inline');
drupal_add_js("my_js_file.js");
?>
then in my_js_file.js just change the text. There are several ways to acomplish this. For instance, you can do a search in the document and change the title to something else or you can use a determined ID, etc...

When displaying the search form in my header, what is the preferred method to use if it cannot fit into my header region??
should I...
create a custom region?
use some kind of 'print $search_form'
drupal_get_form()??
use the theme() function??
please help! I'm new to Drupal and trying to figure out the best 'Drupal Way' of doing things.
Depends on how you want to define or maintain the search form. If you think of it as part of the theme (that is, it's as static as the page background or colors), consider just using the following in page.tpl.php:
<?php if ($search_box): ?>
<?php print $search_box ?>
<?php endif; ?>
This is de-facto the Drupal Way: if your theme didn't modify the page variables, you get $search_box for free in page.tpl.php. Adding the conditional also lets site maintainers turn it off in the theme settings and specify permissions for it.
If you want to give site maintainers the ability to move it around from region to region, consider using the Search block. This way it can be utilized just as any other block on your site. This would also be considered Drupal Way-ish: you get the block for free if you enable the Search module.
If you want theme the forms, override search-theme-form.tpl.php if you use the first method, and search-box-form.tpl.php if you used the second. Both templates can be found in modules/search.
You could do any of those. You could create a custom region, and use CSS to change the display. You could alter the form with preprocessing hooks or hook_form_alter.
Depends on whatever is easiest for you.
