Spokane Day-time Learn/Co-Work Group Oct 23

At today's meeting we discussed:

• Took a look at Jon and Diane's nice shiny new responsive site: http://smartcities.com
• The October 15 security vulnerability and how to fix it NOW: https://www.drupal.org/SA-CORE-2014-005
• Set up a redirect from vegannook.com to www.vegannook.com, so that there is only 1 site and not two. We followed instructions in http://www.thesitewizard.com/apache/redirect-domain-www-subdomain.shtml
• Diane mentioned that on the redesign of the library web site she is working on, she needed to use the JQuery Update module to update Drupal 7's version of JQuery, in order to use the Responsive Menus module. But it broke the Nice Menus module... the compromise was to tell JQuery Update to only update to JQuery 1.8.x and not to 1.10.x, which is compatible with both modules she wanted to use.
• Jon wanted to integrate Act-On (email marketing) with Drupal, and they told him he needed to alter the user registration form, putting in a new ID. So, we did this in a few lines of code:
  • Figure out the form ID, which we did using Firebug. For the user register form, it is <form id="user-register-form" ..., meaning that the PHP form ID is "user_register_form".
  • Create a custom module, which I called jen (folder under sites/all/modules).
  • File jen.info:
    
    name = Jennifer Stuff
description = Stuff for DUG demos
core = 7.x
version = 7.x-1.0
  • In the jen.module file:
    
    function jen_form_user_register_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  $form['#id'] = 'something_else';

  // Jon needs to figure out how to attach JS here
  $form['#attached'] = array();

  $form['#submit'][] = 'jen_form_submit_to_acton';
}

function jen_form_submit_to_acton($form, &$form_state) {
  drupal_set_message(t('Hello world'));
}
    
    This changes the form ID to "something_else". You'd need to replace this with the actual ID you need. It also puts up a message saying "Hello World" after a user registers.
• Jon described what he's trying to do with ActOn and Salesforce and Drupal
• Jennifer reported on the PNW Drupal Summit (last weekend): http://2014.pnwdrupalsummit.org/
• Jose wanted to add a new feature to the museum web site: listing images for browsing and potentially sales. How? Here's an outline:
  • Create a new content type (admin > structure > content types)
  • Create one or more taxonomies for image category, medium, etc. (admin > structure > taxonomy). Add terms to each vocabulary you create (landscape, portrait, still life; painting, photo, sculpture).
  • Add fields to the content type (admin > structure > content types > (your content type) > manage fields): Image (upload), and each of the taxonomy vocabularies you created (these are called "Term Reference" fields)
  • Create a View for an image search page (admin > structure > views). In the Filters section, add filters for the taxonomy fields, and for each, check "Expose to users" so that users can filter the list of images using your categories.
