I would like to have a Google Adwords conversion trigger when a new node is submitted on my Drupal 6 site, but cannot find a way to do this.
Basically I want a user to submit some details into a custom node type, let's call it "Player". When a new Player is added, I want to trigger an Adwords conversion. I have looked at the Custom (Form) Destination module, but this doesn't seem to work for this form. Even if it did work, I'd have to somehow cleverly distinguish between new submissions and edits because they have the same form_id.
Anyone have experience of something similar to this and can offer any advice?
This is likely going to take a small bit of coding in a custom module.
I would recommend creating a hook_node implementation which fires when a node is being created. It then fires off the adwords conversion.
Something like:
function mymodule_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $a3 = NULL, $a4 = NULL) {
if ($op == 'insert' && $node->type == 'whatever_content_type') {
// Code to trigger adwords conversion.
}
}
If you need help creating a custom module, I would suggest you visit the Drupal Development IRC Chatroom at #drupal on irc.freenode.net. Someone there would be happy to help you get started!
In the end it turns out they wanted it just when someone used the contact form, so I created a webform (using webform module) for my contact form and then used php code in the thankyou page to achieve this.

I have created a website whereby users register and create their own templated profile pages. The profile pages are automatically created as Custom Posts upon registration, with the user being set as the Author of their specific post (profile).
(Users can only ever have one Custom Post)
I want to redirect a "dumb" URL like www.website.com/my-profile to a user's custom post when they are logged in.
For example, when John Smith visits www.website.com/my-profile he is directed to his profile page: www.website.com/users/john.smith
I have found many PHP solutions going the other way, but I can't seem to find a solution that does what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This may not be the correct answer to the original query, but proved to be a solid workaround:
Instead of redirecting www.website.com/my-profile to www.website.com/users/john.smith every time it is entered in the URL bar, I created a shortcode that could be used when needed throughout the site.
add_shortcode('bt_redirect_user_link', 'bt_redirect_user_link');
function bt_redirect_user_link ($atts) {
// check if user is logged in
if (is_user_logged_in()) {
// get current user object
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
// get user nickname
$user_nickname = $current_user->data->user_nicename;
// set the link href
$link_href = '/users/' . $user_nickname;
// output the link html
return $link_href;
}
}
Fortunately for me, the www.website.com/my-profile link (which needs to be redirected) is only available on buttons/icons visible to logged in users. This may not be a fully workable solution for websites that need to display the link to logged out users, and I assume IF/ELSE statements would needed to be added in those cases.
I have designed a plugin and in a part of its functionalities I'm trying to save some data to a custom table in MySQL based on the ID of new registered user in Wordpress registration form. I used user_register hook as follow:
function my_func($user_id){
// some DB Query code based on $user_id
}
add_action('user_register', 'my_func', 10, 1);
I already tried solution in Wordpress user_register hook not executing?
and used profile_update hook as described there
but it couldn't help. I also tried changing priority value and removed it but the problem still exists.
The only thing I want is to have access to ID of the new registered user in registration form.
I appreciate if someone could help me.
I finally could find the solution. Actually in the body of myfunc function in the question I was trying to output the $user_id using javascript alert and for some reason that script doesn't run at that point but my query runs successfully and the way that I used the user_register hook is correct.
I just want to share it in case anybody encountered such a problem.
Thanks.
I need to implement field-level permissions in a Page model, in a SilverStripe 3.2 website.
Let's imagine I have an ArticlePage.php model. It has the usual fields like $MenuTitle and $Content, and I've added other properties like $Subtitle and $Author.
I can protect the whole model by using providePermissions() and the associated canEdit() methods, but I need to protect individual fields / page properties.
What I need to do is:
Admins should be able to edit all fields
Users in another permissions group should only be able to edit and save $Subtitle
Is this possible in SilverStripe 3.2? Is there a SilverStripe way of doing it?
If not, is there a way I can Identify the user group of the current user and then perhaps conditionally show the $field->addFieldToTab() code? Is it possible to stop the user saving a field by posting the data maliciously, perhaps by adding the missing fields via inspector?
Thanks in advance.
So here's my own answer. This post was helpful: https://www.silverstripe.org/community/forums/customising-the-cms/show/11693
You can conditionally show CMS fields and tabs using code like the post demonstrates:
public function getCMSFields()
if(!Permission::check('PERMISSION_LABEL'){
$fields->removeFieldFromTab("Root.Main","MenuTitle");
$fields->removeByName('BannerImages');
// etc...
}
// etc...
}
Having defined the permission:
public function providePermissions()
{
return array(
'PERMISSION_LABEL' => 'Can edit some fields',
);
}
My concern with this approach was that a user could still create a form field on the page using inspector or JS and submit values for fields they should not be able to see.
Having tested this it appears that field values are not saved if they are not listed on the page, but are sent with the POST data. Although I'd love to know if a SilverStripe expert could confirm that.
I'm working on a Charity site where we want to accept membership payments and donations via paypal.
I am having a problem with Contact Form 7 and redirection to PayPal with a variable payment amount. I'm really hoping that someone can assist or shed some insight on this problem for me.
I read This Post, which made it sound quite easy but, while my email is being sent, the form isn't redirecting to PayPal, in fact it's not doing anything at all, not even giving me the "thank you your form has been submitted" notice.
my form has this line: £[text* AmountPaying 6/ id:PayingThis]
And under "Additional Settings" I have inserted this:
<script>
function my_redirect() {
var price = document.getElementById("PayingThis").value;
var url = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=#####¤cy_code=GBP&amount="+price+"&return=http://www.example.org/join-or-renew-your-membership-online/";
window.location = url;
}
</script>
on_sent_ok: "my_redirect();"
does anybody have any experience with this ?
Thanks for the comments !
With some help troubleshooting from a friend I have figured out how to make this happen with contactForm7 - in fact, I believe you could extend this solution, and submit a lot of dynamic information directly to PayPalmy problem.
This is what I did - and it's essentially the same as this guy does here
BUT, instead of putting that code in the "ADDITIONAL SETTINGS" Area of the CF7 Form page - I added this:
<script>
function my_redirect() {
var price = document.getElementById("PayingThis").value;
var url = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=#######¤cy_code=GBP&amount="+price+"&return=http://www.example.org/join-or-renew-your-membership-online/";
window.location = url;
}
</script>
up at the top, with the rest of the Form building html and tags, just before the code for the form itself:
Your Name (required): [text* your-name]
etc.
and then in the Additional settings box.. I only called the function
on_sent_ok: "my_redirect();"
and it worked! it takes the value the user enters in the "How much do you want to give us" box, and submits it to paypal
I hope others can benefit from this
thanks again for taking the time to view and help

Contact Form 7 is a great plugin but creating a form for PayPal gets a little tricky. Gravity Forms would be a great options but you would need the developers license that cost $200.
My recommendation is to look up the PayPal form API and create the form yourself, from scratch and integrate it OR you should have a look at the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, and the PayPal Field Add-on for Advanced Custom Fields! It's all free.
It enables you to set a form on any post/page/etc with a paypal button. All you have to do is add the <?php the_field('NAME_OF_YOUR_FIELD'); ?> to your template, wherever you want to display it.

Thanks 5tratus. Works.
An old support thread (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-7-paypal-integration-1) was getting as far as redirecting to PayPal, but then PayPal was giving an "Page Not Found" "You have requested an outdated version of PayPal" message.
I didn't need price or any extra variables, so I cleaned it up to just redirect to the product page. Here's what I used and it works:
<script>
function my_redirect() {
var url = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=[PUT YOUR BUTTON ID HERE]";
window.location = url;
}</script>
As 5tratus says, put the above code in at the bottom of the form code itself, then put
on_sent_ok: "my_redirect();"
in the "additional settings" part.

I don't know how to change the size of the login username/password boxes on the drupal site that I'm trying to build. I'm stumbling through the theming, and don't know where to find the file that needs to be changed in order to have boxes that fits the aesthetic (so a file path would be very helpful).
I'm hoping it's a css solution. You can see the site first hand at innovatefortomorrow[dot]org and my firebug screenshot http://www.jonrwilson.com/user-login-form.png (I don't have enough reputation points to attach an image or two hyperlinks).
Thanks!
read this as well! This is an alternative answer!
Ok... you are about to enter one of the most exciting and complex features of Drupal: the form API or - for brevity - FAPI. Some theory first, and then the solution! :)
All forms in Drupal are built by the drupal_get_form() function, that accepts an array as parameter. Each field in the array is basically a field of your form, and each field has a number of proprieties, each of them define additional characteristics of the the field, like for example its default value, if it is required or optional and - yes - in the case of textfields... how large they have to be! You can find a detailed explanation of the structure of form arrays here on the drupal site.
The beauty of the form API is that the function that renders the form invokes a number of hooks at various moments during its building process, so you can implement these hooks in order to "alter" a form before it is finalised and sent to the browser.
The most commonly hooks for form alteration are hook_form_alter() and hook_form_FORM_ID_alter(). The first is executed for any form processed by the drupal engine, the latter only for the specific form named "FORM_ID". I will not get into any more details on the internal working of the form API, but here you can read more.
As for your specific case, I assume you are using the standard "user block" shipping with Drupal. In this case I suggest you implement hook_form_FORM_ID_alter() in a form similar to this one:
mymodule_form_user_login_block_alter(&$form, $form_state) {
$form['pass']['#size'] = 43;
}
Hope this helps! :)
I think in this case you have to go to the your html ( or tpl), not your css file to edit it.
One quick way is to search the relevant string (i.e., size="43" name="name" etc) in order to find the correct part.
Here is the way to theme a user login form in drupal 6 with the preprocess function in a template file and not in a module.
in template.php put this code:
function yourThemename_preprocess_user_login(&$variables) {
$variables['form']['name']['#size'] = 15;
$variables['form']['pass']['#size'] = 15;
$variables['rendered'] = drupal_render($variables['form']);
}
create a new file user-login.tpl.php (if it's not already there) and just paste this:
<?php print $rendered; // this variable is defined in the preprocess function user_login and print the login form ?>
Don't forget to clear theme cache or system cache in the performance settings.
