Draw circle overlay in all points in gmap from Radius in a CCK field | Dynamic gmap Macro in Views

Submitted by konordo on Thu, 03/10/2011 - 00:23

Lately I needed to add a circle in every marker in a gmap provided by Views.

So in order to achieve this, I filled in the Macro textarea of the Style:Gmap settings of the View with the following code. But first, I added the field that contains the Radius value and excluded it from Display, to make the value available in the view result set. This value was in miles, so I made the conversion from km as well.

Show taxonomy terms Grouped By Taxonomy Parent

Submitted by konordo on Sat, 02/05/2011 - 09:38

Lately I was assigned with the task to display all terms assigned to a node, grouped by their parent. To better explain this, let's say for example that we have the Vocabulary 1 assigned to Content Type A, with the following terms:
 
Parent 1
-- term 1
-- term 2
-- term 3
Parent 2
-- term 4
-- term 5
Parent 3
-- term 6
-- term 7
etc. 
 
Nodes from Content Type 1 have various terms assigned. For example, node/143 has the following terms assigned: term 2, term 4, and terms 6 & 7.

Drupal: Run simple JS Scripts on a specific node

Submitted by konordo on Thu, 12/09/2010 - 20:09
Let's say that you have a simple input form, on a specific node in your drupal site and you just want to reset it, using a button. There are a few ways you could go about it, but this one is probably the simplest one.
  1. Initialize global variable $base_url to gain access to functions base_path() and path_to_theme(), so that you can generate the script's path dynamically.

Drupal time ago function in template.php

Submitted by konordo on Thu, 12/09/2010 - 15:40

Would you like to make time appear as an interval like "4 days 3 hours ago"? Possibly you have worked with such formatters (drupal time ago) in views and date fields, but what about editing a node.tpl.php for example? Or programmaticaly include the last login time of a node's author, as time ago, in a block?

It comes in handy when there is a reusable function to format our time statements as drupal time ago - and php in general. So here comes a little function to be included in the template.php file. You can easily use it in your themes to display a timestamp as "Time ago".
