Up to now, I've always hard coded what page template a certain page should use, either based on the URL, or what type of node it is. What would be really useful is if there was a way to select which tpl file to use, right there in the node edit form. This would allow the user to flick between different page layouts at will. Does anyone...
I'm currently working on a Flash application that needs to save files to Drupal. I already saved the file to the Drupal site with the File service, but I can't get to attach the file to the node with the node.save service (Upload module, not CCK file field). The object that I will transfer with node.save looks like this in AS3 : var no...

For example I have a role called "teachers". For any user that belongs to that role, I want to be able to display a custom profile that is different then the main one. I read at some place that one can make a tpl file in the pages folder of the theme and some how it could be made to show for specific roles or URL path. Would anyone care...
hi, what's the point to have hook_mail_alter if I already have hook_mail ? For example, I saw that hook_mail_alter is used to add a footer to my mail message. But I could use hook_mail to add it, instead of using 2 functions... what am I missing ? Maybe it is done to add the footer after some other function is invoked ? thanks ...

Anyone have any field experience with ...
Hi there, This should be a very simple question, but I'm finding it surprisingly hard to find an answer. I'm creating custom pages using hook_menu that have both static content and dynamic aspects, (mainly from sql queries and views embeds etc...).

I have a set of existing nodes for a content type ('foo'). Since then I have installed the Automatic Nodetitles module, which has helped tremendously, since I no longer need to work hard to make standardized names for each node of that type. I have used Automatic Nodetitles in conjunction with Tokens to create an automatic title naming p...
