Example call to copy a book using the Book Copy module in Drupal 6 (assuming a node exists with book id of 142):
www.examplesite.com/book_copy/copy/142
When the above site is called and node 142 is copied it then notifies the user that the book was copied, but starts the user out on the Outline tab for the book copy. I think it would be more intuitive to start the user out on the Edit tab for the book copy so the user can immediately start to edit the information for the book. The outline is less important than setting up the actual initial details for the book which are in the Edit tab.
Does anyone know how I could modify the module to forward the user to the Edit tab? I looked through the code and it's just not clicking. I'm having problems interpreting exactly how this Book Module is working under the hood. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have no experience with the book_copy module, but looking at the last lines of the book_copy_copy_book() function:
$book = node_load(array('nid' => $newbid));
$book->bookcopydata = array();
$book->bookcopydata['message'] = t('Successfully cloned "%message", now viewing copy.', array('%message' => $message));
if (_book_outline_access($book)) {
$book->bookcopydata['url'] = 'node/'. $newbid .'/outline';
}
else {
$book->bookcopydata['url'] = 'node/'. $newbid;
}
// The function signature is: hook_book_copy_goto_alter(&$data);
drupal_alter("book_copy_goto", $book);
drupal_set_message($book->bookcopydata['message']);
drupal_goto($book->bookcopydata['url']); // requires user has 'administer book outline' or can access personal books
the user would automatically end on the new book page if he did not have the 'administer book outlines' right. If you want the user to always end on the new book edit page, you could just replace the whole if
if (_book_outline_access($book)) { ... }
clause with the assignment from its else part with an adjusted url:
$book->bookcopydata['url'] = 'node/'. $newbid . '/edit';
However, changing a modules code directly is not recommended (update clashes), especially if the module provides a hook to achieve the change you need 'from outside'. So the 'right' way in your situation would be to implement the offered hook_book_copy_goto_alter(&$data) in a custom module in order to adjust the redirection URL to your liking:
function yourModule_book_copy_goto_alter(&$new_book) {
$new_book->bookcopydata['url'] = 'node/'. $new_book->nid . '/edit';
}

I have a spreadsheet in Microsoft Active Directory
Now I want to display the information in this table in WordPress
I came across this plugin according to the searches I did
But this plugin also does not have the ability to display information registered in Active Directory
What method or plugin do you think I should use to display Active Directory registered information in WordPress?
You have to call the Graph API to display user informatiom. This document is a good starting point.For example:
public function loadViewData()
{
$viewData = [];
// Check for flash errors
if (session('error')) {
$viewData['error'] = session('error');
$viewData['errorDetail'] = session('errorDetail');
}
// Check for logged on user
if (session('userName'))
{
$viewData['userName'] = session('userName');
$viewData['userEmail'] = session('userEmail');
$viewData['userTimeZone'] = session('userTimeZone');
}
return $viewData;
}
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
James
I am currently coding a plugin for ILIAS. The plugin itself is not at all complex but it contains several issues whereas I think we could make it simpler as it is.
The situation is following: We have a global advanced meta data field added in the user defined meta data section with a bijective identifier. The field is activated at a repository objected named course. We have manipulated the GUI with the plugin based on ilUIHookPluginGUI.
The code for this is ... well ... see it for yourself.
First of all we save the ID of the new meta data field in the settings at the ConfigGUI for the plugin:
$field_settings = new ilSetting("foo");
$field_id_value = $field_settings->set("field_id",$_POST["field_id"]);
In our class which extends ilUIHookPluginGUI we are loading the setting as following and we have the ID of the field:
$field_settings = new ilSetting("foo");
$field_id_value = $field_settings->get("field_id");
Now the fun part. With this ID and the ref_id of the object (well, we also load the object to get the ObjId) we can load the value of the meta data field setted at the course:
$object = \ilObjectFactory::getInstanceByRefId($_GET[ 'ref_id' ]);
$obj_id = $object->getId();
$result = $DIC->database()->query("SELECT value FROM adv_md_values_text WHERE obj_id = '".$obj_id."' AND field_id = '".$field_id_value."'");
$value = $DIC->database()->fetchAssoc($result);
$is_active = $value['value'];
The question is ... is there an easier way to achieve my result?
Best,
Laura
Nice question. First of all, note that I consider the advanced metadata service in ILIAS to be lacking a good readme making clear, which hooks the interface is offering for tasks such as yours. Some time ago, I had to deal with this service as well and run into similar issues. Hopefully, your question helps to document this a little better an I myself am looking forward to other suggestions, knowing that mine is not really good as well. If you have any resources, helping pushing the introduction of good readme for services and also pushing services towards using the repository pattern with a clear interface would be highly appreciated.
Concering your question of what can be improved: I see three main issues in the lines of code:
Storing an ID in the config of your plugin. Your plugin will unconfigurable for non-technical people. However, also for you this will be error prone, think about exporting-importing stuff from a test-installation to production.
Access the value by query instead of the service.
Using new and static functions inside your code making it untestable.
Step 1
Lets start with the first one. Note, that I did not manage to solve this one without introducing a new one (a new query). Bad I know. I hope that there is a better solution, I did not find one after quick research. You store the id, since the field title is not securely unique, right? This is correct, however, you could think about storing the tripplet of field_title, record_title and (maybe) scope. Note that you maybe do not need the scope since you want to use this globally. A function return you and array containing field_id and record_id could look like so:
function getFieldAndRecordIdByFieldTitles($field_title, $record_title, $scope_title){
$query = "select field.field_id,field.record_id from adv_mdf_definition as field
INNER JOIN adv_md_record as record ON record.record_id = field.record_id
INNER JOIN adv_md_record_scope as scope ON scope.record_id = field.record_id
INNER JOIN object_reference as ref ON scope.ref_id = ref.ref_id
INNER JOIN object_data as scope_data ON ref.obj_id = scope_data.obj_id
WHERE field.title='$field_title' AND record.title='$record_title' AND scope_data.title = '$scope_title'";
$set = $this->dic()->database()->query($query);
if($row = $this->dic()->database()->fetchAssoc($set))
{
return array_values($row);
}
}
Then get your values like so:
list($field_id,$record_id) = getFieldAndRecordIdByFieldTitles("my_field", "my_record", "my_scope");
Note that I am aware that I am introducing a new query here. Sorry, was the best I could come up with. I am sure there you find a better solution, if your research a bit, let us know if successful. However, we will remove one in the next step.
Step 2
Use the undocumented service, the get your value out of the advance meta data. Since you now have the record id and the field id, you can to that like so:
$record_values = new ilAdvancedMDValues($record_id, $obj_id);
$record_values->read();
$ADTGroup = $ilAdvancedMDValues->getADTGroup();
$ADT = $ilADTGroup->getElement($field_id);
$value = $ADT->getText();
/**if you have text, others are possible, such as:
switch (true) {
case ($ADT instanceof ilADTText):
break;
case ($ADT instanceof ilADTDate):
$value = $ADT->getDate();
break;
case ($ADT instanceof ilADTExternalLink):
$... = $ADT->getUrl();
$... = $ADT->getTitle();
break;
case ($ADT instanceof ilADTInternalLink):
$... = $ADT->setTargetRefId($value);
}
**/
Note that ADT's are also undocumented. There might be a better way, to get a value out of this.
Step 3
Wrap your statics and new into some injectable dependency. I usually use the bloated constructor pattern to do this. Looks like so:
public function __construct(InjectedSettings $mySettings = null)
{
if (!$mySettings) //Case in the default scenario
{
$this->mySettings = new InjectedSettings();
} else //used e.g. for unit tests, where you can stuff the constructor with a mock
{
$this->mySettings = $mySettings;
}
$this->mySettings->doSometing();
}
Note that this is not real dep. injection, still you still use new, but I think a very workable fix to use dep. injection at least for the test context in ilias.
Does this help? I hope there will be other (better answers as well).
In Drupal 7, I could use the following code.
if ($_SESSION['messages']['status'][0] == t('Registration successful. You are now logged in.')) {
unset($_SESSION['messages']['status']);
}
What is the equivalent code for Drupal 8?
First of all, in Drupal 8, messages are stored in the same $_SESSION['messages'] variable as before. However, using it directly is not a good way, as there exist drupal_set_message and drupal_get_messages functions, which you may freely use.
Then, status messages are shown using status-messages theme. This means that you can write preprocess function for it and make your alteration there:
function mymodule_preprocess_status_messages(&$variables) {
$status_messages = $variables['message_list']['status'];
// Search for your message in $status_messages array and remove it.
}
The main difference with Drupal 7, however, is that now status messages are not always strings, they may be objects of Markup class. They are wrappers around strings and may be cast to underlying string using magic method __toString. This means that they can be compared with and as strings:
function mymodule_preprocess_status_messages(&$variables) {
if(isset($variables['message_list']['status'])){
$status_messages = $variables['message_list']['status'];
foreach($status_messages as $delta => $message) {
if ($message instanceof \Drupal\Component\Render\MarkupInterface) {
if ((string) $message == (string) t("Searched text")) {
unset($status_messages[$delta]);
break;
}
}
}
}
}
Upon reading the related change record, I have discovered \Drupal::messenger()->deleteAll(). I hope this is useful to someone. UPDATE: You should NOT do this, as it removes all subsequent messages as well. Instead, do unset(['_symfony_flashes']['status'][0]).
You can install the module Disable Messages and filter out messages by pattern in the configuration of the module.
For this particular case, you can filter out the message using the following pattern in the module configuration
Registration successful.*
Although the question is asked around Drupal 8 which is no longer supported, the module works for Drupal 7, 8, 9.
You can solve your problem in more than one way.
First way:
You can make minor change in core user module.
Go on:
\core\modules\user\src\RegisterForm.php
In that file you have line you can change:
drupal_set_message($this->t('Registration successful. You are now logged in.'));
NOTE: This is easiest way but in this case way you will edit Drupal core module and that is generally bad practice. In further development you could have problems like overwrite your changes when you do update.
Second way:
You can disable end user message using module. Disable message module have option you need. In module configuration you have text box where you can filter out messages shown to the end users.
Third way:
Messages in Drupal 8 are stored in a session variable and displayed in the page template via the $messages theme variable. When you want to modify the variables that are passed to the template before it's invoked you should use preprocess function. In your case here you can just search string in session variable and alert/remove it before it's displayed.
function yourmodule_preprocess_status_messages(&$variables) {
$message = 'Registration successful. You are now logged in.';
if (isset($_SESSION['messages'])) {
foreach ($_SESSION['messages'] as $type => $messages) {
if ($type == 'status') {
$key = array_search($message, $messages);
if ($key !== FALSE) {
unset($_SESSION['messages'][$type][$key]);
}
}
}
}
}
(Note:Untested code, beware of typos)
Hope this helps!
I create an article and then "Customize this page" and add a panel to the page. I can re-save that page using panelizer over and over again with no issues. However, when I go into the "new draft" page and edit and publish the node, all items that were added with panelizer are removed from the article.
Very similar to this https://drupal.org/node/1572202 with the difference being that I notice it happens when I save from the node/edit page. I already have the patch on that page applied because it was added to the latest version of panelizer which I have.
There are known issues with panelizer, if you are using the Workbench module. Basically, the association between the revision and the panelized node gets lost.
There is a detailed explanation here: http://www.phase2technology.com/blog/panelizer-and-workbench-moderation-can-get-along/
It will probably need some adaptation for each config, but this should get you started:
function MYMODULE_node_update($node) {
if (!empty($node->old_vid)) {
// fetch the did from the old revision
$old_did = db_query("SELECT did FROM {panelizer_entity} WHERE entity_id = :nid AND revision_id = :oldvid ORDER BY revision_id DESC",
array(":nid" => $node->nid, ":oldvid" => $node->old_vid))
->fetchField();
if (!empty($old_did) && !empty($node->panelizer['page_manager']) && empty($node->panelizer['page_manager']->did)) {
$node->panelizer['page_manager']->did = $old_did;
}
}
}
Ok I've used this in the past to get last editor and it works great when running on sites that use workflow but it doesnt return any users for sites that do not use workflow..
var contentWorkflow = contentItem.Database.WorkflowProvider.GetWorkflow(contentItem);
var contentHistory = contentWorkflow.GetHistory(contentItem);
if (contentHistory.Length > 0)
{
//submitting user (string)
string lastUser = contentHistory[contentHistory.Length - 1].User;
}
Can you reply with a way to get last editor of an item regardless of whether they use workflow or not?
Thanks
Try to use
contentItem.Statistics.UpdatedBy
