theme form on drupal 6 - drupal

I have a form 'pub_form' which has function $form['#theme'] = 'publication_order';
so in module file, i defined function theme_publication_order($element), but the function
was not called.
i have search the google, looks like i have to use hook_theme() to make theme_publication_order() to work.
how can i override hook_theme() to make it work?

To make a theme function work, you must first define it in an implementation of hook_theme. You need this, to let drupal know the function exists. This would look like this:
function mymodule_theme() {
$items = array();
$items['publication_order'] = array(
'arguments' => array('element' => NULL),
);
return $items;
}
Then drupal will know about your theme function:
function theme_publication_order($element) {
// do your stuff here
}

WordPress publish_{$post_type} hook works only for posts and not for custom post types or pages

I'm trying to send push notification when any of posts, custom post types or pages is published. I'm getting enabled post types from the plugin settings and adding action via foreach loop in my class __construct method. The problem is that it only works for posts and not for any of custom post types or pages. Here is my function and action:
foreach ((array)get_option('PushPostTypes') as $postType) {
add_action("publish_{$postType}", array($this, 'doNewPostPush'), 10, 2);
}
public function doNewPostPush($id, $post) {
$pushData = array(
'title' => $post->post_title,
'body' => strip_tags($post->post_content),
'data' => array(
'url' => trailingslashit(get_permalink($id)),
),
);
if (has_post_thumbnail($id)) {
$pushData['image'] = get_the_post_thumbnail_url($id);
}
$this->sendNotification($pushData);
}
get_option('PushPostTypes') is an array of post types that user choose, for example: array('post', 'page', 'custom_post');
Any idea why it only works for post and not for pages or custom post types?
Your code worked for me, assuming your get_option('PushPostTypes') is working as intended (Obviously I had to mock that).
Try a different approach that does not rely on get_option('PushPostTypes') to see if you get the same result;
add_action('transition_post_status', function ($new_status, $old_status, $post) {
if ($new_status !== 'publish') {
return;
}
// do something
}, 10, 3);
Try the 'transition_post_status' hook that works for all posts without specifically defining them. Put that somewhere just to see if it runs. Do whatever debugging statement that suits you. Then if that works, then move it into Class code and see if that works. I'm debugging by trying to isolate where the first thing goes wrong. Keeping it very simple to get it to work, then gradually adding complexity until it breaks.

Wordpress / Woocommerce Hook into a Function

I appreciate questions similar to this have been asked before but the answers I've tried aren't doing what I need.
Basically,
I have this file in the woocommerce plugin folder structure:
wp-content\plugins\woocommerce\includes\wc-coupon-functions.php
Inside the file is the following function:
function wc_get_cart_coupon_types() {
return (array) apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_coupon_types', array( 'fixed_cart') );
}
I need to override it so it returns an additional item in the array but nothing I've tried has worked. I've tried:
Creating the same file in my custom theme file
hooking the function in my functions file with the following code:
function woocommerce_coupon_get_cart_coupon_types()
{
return (array) apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_coupon_types', array( 'fixed_cart', 'custom_discount' ) );
}
add_filter('wc_get_cart_coupon_types', 'woocommerce_coupon_get_cart_coupon_types',10, 1);
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated, also..... I've made the change directly in the file and it definitely works. Thanks
Your #2 approach is sort of how to do it, but you're essentially caught in a loop situation the way you did it.
You need to do it this way:
function wpso59974749_woocommerce_coupon_get_cart_coupon_types( $data ) {
$data[ 'your_new_key_here' ] = 'your new value here';
return $data;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_cart_coupon_types','wpso59974749_woocommerce_coupon_get_cart_coupon_types',10, 1);
You shouldn't add the apply_filter back in your function, as it would get stuck in a loop - essentially refiltering itself over and over.
I prefixed your function so if there is another woocommerce_coupon_get_cart_coupon_types function, it won't conflict.

How to translate wordpress widget name?

I have correctly created a custom widget, evreything is translating well with a correct .po file, except the title.
Here is my code :
$concert_widget_name = __('Tour Dates', 'concerts');
wp_register_sidebar_widget (
'tourdates', // your unique widget id
$concert_widget_name, // widget name
'tourdates_widget_display', // callback function to display widget
array( // options
'description' => 'Displaying upcoming tour dates'
)
);
Is there an error ? An other way to translate the widget name ?
I usually register my widgets using the register_widget function. In the constructor of the widget class I place the following code:
class TourDates extends WP_Widget
{
public function __construct()
{
$options = array('classname' => 'tour-dates', 'description' => __('Display upcoming tour dates'));
parent::__construct('tour_dates', __('Tour Dates'), $options);
}
}
You can also check out the Widgets API on the WordPress Codex site. Hopefully this helps you in creating your custom widget.
Also what I usually do is merge my translations with the default ones loaded from WordPress, like so:
function loadTextDomain() {
$locale = get_locale();
$languageDir = dirname(__FILE__) . '/languages';
$domain = 'default';
$mofile = $languageDir . '/theme.' . $locale . '.mo';
global $l10n;
$mo = new MO();
if (!$mo->import_from_file($mofile)) {
return false;
}
if (isset($l10n[$domain]) && !empty($l10n[$domain]->entries)) {
$l10n[$domain]->merge_with($mo);
} else {
$l10n[$domain] = $mo;
}
}
add_action('init', 'loadTextDomain');
This code looks similar to the load_textdomain function from WordPress but it avoids all the filters that do exist in the original function, which helps in avoiding any WordPress hook from altering your $domain and $mofile variables.
But I will leave that up to you. Maybe the load_textdomain() function from WordPress will work just as fine, but in case it doesn't this function should do the trick.
Now if your using the loadTextDomain() function I pasted above you can just place a languages folder in the same folder as your functions.php resides, in that new folder you could place theme.nl_NL.mo or theme.de_DE.mo files depending on the language your using. This should allow translation of your website and also the admin area.

Drupal: Completely override search functionality but use Drupal's template system (from a module)

I'm writing a custom Drupal 7 module which will completely override the search page and search method for a website. Here is what I have so far:
/**
* Custom search.
*/
function mymodule_search_page() {
drupal_add_css('css/search.css');
// Perform a search (not important how)
$result = do_custom_search('foo');
return '<p>Results:</p>';
}
Now, as you can see, it's not complete. I don't know how to properly return structured HTML from this. How would I go about using Drupal's built-in template system to render the results?
you have to make use of drupal inbuilt functions. i hope you are looking for something like this http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes!common.inc/function/drupal_render/7
This is what I ended up doing:
/**
* Implements hook_menu().
*/
function mymodule_search_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['search'] = array('page callback' => 'mymodule_search_page',
'access callback' => TRUE);
return $items;
}
/**
* Mymodule search page callback.
*/
function mymodule_search_page() {
$variables = array();
// Add stuff to $variables. This is the "context" of the file,
// e.g. if you add "foo" => "bar", variable $foo will have value
// "bar".
...
// This works together with `mymodule_search_theme'.
return theme('mymodule_search_foo', $variables);
}
/**
* Idea stolen from: http://api.drupal.org/comment/26824#comment-26824
*
* This will use the template file custompage.tpl.php in the same
* directory as this file.
*/
function mymodule_search_theme() {
return array ('mymodule_search_foo' =>
array('template' => 'custompage',
'arguments' => array()));
}
Hope this helps someone!

Drupal theme() function and custom template

I have a custom module that returns data from a web service call. It comes back from an XML response, which I am converting to an array.
Once I have the array, I do:
$output = theme('search_srs_results', $data);
return $output;
But I am getting a white screen. No apache/php/watchdog errors.
I've done this before in another module without any difficulty. My theme hook is defined, and points to a template file, passing the $data argument. If I dump $output before it's returned, its NULL.
$data definitely has a populated array before being themed.
If I do theme('item_list', $data);, it renders, no white screen.
I tried reading the docs again on hook_theme and theme() but I don't seem to be doing anything wrong.
Here are the theme functions:
/**
* Implementation of hook_theme()
*/
function srs_finder_theme() {
return array(
'search_srs_results' => array(
'template' => 'srs-finder-results',
'arguments' => array('data' => null),
),
);
}
/**
* Implementation of hook_preprocess()
*/
function srs_finder_preprocess_search_srs_results(&$vars) {
$data = $vars['data'];
}
Whats missing?
I don't understand why you need hook_preprocess() function at all. $data should automatically be available to srs-finder-results.tpl.php. Thats because you're passing this variable in the call theme('src_src_results', $data) and the fact that you have declared that there is 1 argument in hook_theme().
srs-finder-results.tpl.php file should reside in the src_finder module folder. You need to implement the code for that! (Alternatively as nikit has commented above, provide a theme_search_srs_results function. In that case you will need to remove the template array entry)
[Note: If other users of the module want to override this theme template they can always provide their own implementation of srs-finder-results.tpl.php in the theme folder of the theme that is active.]
