Helpful Code

I'll add some code snippets here that could help with a drupal website.

PHP

Add a class to each page

NB: This is for your custom theme, DO NOT add to one of the Drupal themes eg Garland. If you want to add a class to each page add this to the <body> tag of page.tpl.php:

{syntaxhighlighter brush: php;fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; }<?php // Add a class depending on the page if (module_exists('path')) { $alias = drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']); $class = explode('/', $alias); print 'class="page page-'.$class[0].'" '; } ?>{/syntaxhighlighter}

Add a class to Teaser lists

In the node.tpl.php file in your theme change

{syntaxhighlighter brush: php;fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; }<div id="node-<?php print $node->nid; ?>" class="node<?php if ($sticky) { print ' sticky'; } ?><?php if (!$status) { print ' node-unpublished'; } ?>">{/syntaxhighlighter}

to

{syntaxhighlighter brush: php;fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; }<div id="node-<?php print $node->nid; ?>" class="<?php print ($teaser ? 'node-teaser' : 'node'); ?><?php if ($sticky&&$page == 0) { print " sticky"; } ?><?php if (!$status) { print " node-unpublished"; } ?> clear-block <?php if ($page == 0) { ?>node-in-list<?php }; ?>">{/syntaxhighlighter}

Show Vars

NB: This is for your custom theme, DO NOT add to one of the Drupal themes eg Garland. Show all the vars in the main array, but only for the user 1 (super user). Just drop the following into your node.tpl.php

{syntaxhighlighter brush: php;fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; }<?php global $user; if($user->uid == 1) { print '<pre>'; print_r(get_defined_vars()); print '</pre>'; } ?>{/syntaxhighlighter}

Create teaser

NB: This is for your custom theme, DO NOT add to one of the Drupal themes eg Garland. If you want to shorten a string and add an elipse to the end use this php function in your templeate.tpl.php and call it on anything

{syntaxhighlighter brush: php;fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; }function myTruncate($string, $limit, $break=".", $pad="...") { if(strlen($string) <= $limit) return $string; if(false !== ($breakpoint = strpos($string, $break, $limit))) { if($breakpoint < strlen($string) - 1) { $string = substr($string, 0, $breakpoint) . $pad; } } return $string; }{/syntaxhighlighter}

Thanks to CCS Tricks for this one
