Drupal News

I want to make a calendar view that will show when music teachers are available, so that students can register online and attend a lesson. The courses have all the same duration which is 2 hours. For this, I created a content type called "Lessons" (Fields: title, description, teacher name, teacher email, date/time) and a content type using node reference module for registrations to each specific lesson. In that way students can register online for music lessons.

There are 2 problems with this:

1. How can I have a fixed 2 hour duration in the day of the calendar view that won't let students register for more or less time than the two hours? I can not just hide the time fileds because the system must show them the time that the lesson takes place?

2. I want to allow just one user register for each lesson and then the system must show that lesson as booked. To be more specific, I want the calendar to show the whole day seperated in 2-hour periods and which periods are free. When a user registers for a lesson, the lesson changes color (I can do this with css) and is marked as reserved so that the "next" user can only register for another of the open lessons and so on.

Any ideas?

My .info file is the following.

name = {some_name} description = This will contain all {some_name} related information package = {Package_name} core = 7.x ; Information added by Drupal.org packaging script on 2014-10-03 version = "7.x-1.1" core = "7.x" project = "{project_name}" project status url=http://domain.com/{project_name}/7.0/sub_module datestamp = "1432104957"

I uploaded the sub_module.zip and the sub_module.tar.gz files, as well as the sub_module folder to the above project status URL, with .info version set to 7.x.2.1.

Still I'm not getting any updates for my custom module. Can anyone help me with this?

I need to render a text (formatted long) field using twig. At this time i am doing the following below. However, i am finding that if i were to add a line break in the text field or apply adding spacing or a horizontal line, the twig filter "raw" removes those attributes. I need assistance to see what I am missing.

I have already set the view mode for field on the content type to default

Twig template (filter used)

{% for item in items %} {{ item.field_body.value|raw }} {% endfor %}

Actual result

I try to create a custom API with custom endpoints where API users can receive entity data from our page. We want to have flat arrays for most of the fields and some additional custom data added so I tried to implement some custom normalizer classes. I found out that supportsNormalization() is the place where the decision is made if my normalizer is used, but I have no context. I just have the object which needs normalization and the format on which I can say Yes, please use my normalizer. As I don't want to force all my entities everywhere in the project be normalized with flat array this is too restrictive for us. I want to use my normalizer only when the entities should be normalized for delivering it in a specific API. Is there a way to achieve this?

A view has been created to display related content types via their taxonomy terms, using contextual filters. Currently the view is able to display content based on the first param eg. about The goal is to abe to display content based on the second param, being the child term and hide the parent eg. about/meet-the-team.

Here is a break down

Url : page/parent term

parent term Content item referenced to parent term Content item referenced to parent term Content item referenced to parent term Content item referenced to parent term

Url: page/parent term/child term

child term Content item referenced to child term Content item referenced to child term Content item referenced to child term Content item referenced to child term Content item referenced to child term

Url: page/parent term/child term/child child term

Content item referenced to child child term Content item referenced to child child term Content item referenced to child child term Content item referenced to child child term Content item referenced to child child term Content item referenced to child child term Content item referenced to child child term

And this will continue on

Eg Url: page/parent term/child term/child child term/child child child term/child child child child term.

I'm getting no love from hook_query_alter. I have a simple query to which I want to add a tag, while also adding a node_access tag. Thus the whole query looks like this:

$the_nodes = db_select('node', 'n') ->condition('n.type', 'some_node_type') ->fields('n', array('nid', 'title')) ->addTag('node_access') ->addTag('my_custom_tag') ->execute()->fetchAll();

I then define a handler in one of my modules and litter it with debugging statements, hoping something will happen:

function mymodule_query_alter(QueryAlterableInterface $the_query) { dsm("inside mymodule_query_alter"); dsm($the_query); if ($the_query->hasTag('my_custom_tag')) { dsm('Found it!'); // do real work here } }

I then clear the system cache. Once I've done this, the following things happen:

• My handler is running, and reports a number of invocations from various system calls.
• The objects being dumped by the dsm calls are all very much alike -- they contain only an alterTags array, which typically has entries for either node_load_multiple or file_load_multiple, but nothing else -- certainly nothing like a full Query object.
• None of the alterTags arrays have an entry for my_custom_tag.
• The inner "Found it!" message never fires.

Arggh. This is my first encounter with hook_query_alter(), and I'm probably just missing something basic about its use. Can anybody clue me in? (BTW, based on some browsing around, I've also tried defining handlers for my_module_query_my_custom_tag_alter and my_module_query_node_access_alter, but never see anything from them.)

I have a view that has the fields: Content: ID, Content: Title and Content: Path.

In my views-view-module.html.twig file I can access the fields via the following:

{{ item['#row']._entity.id }} {{ item['#row']._entity.title[0].value }}

But I cannot seem to retrieve the path field using:

{{ item['#row']._entity.path[0].value }}

Do I do this the same way or am I missing a trick? I've tried to use dump/kint but I keep getting the WSOD.

Can anyone offer me a solution?

Thanks in advance

i have the following problem in Drupal 8.

In custom content type there is a field, which is a multiple entity reference to the same content type. The field is set to use custom view mode, where only title and body fields are displayed. Kind of sub-pages structure. Also the content type has a boolean field, which determines whether the body field of sub pages (entity reference) should be displayed or not. So in my theme_preprocess_field() hook i can get the boolean value, but i don't know how to pass it to the entity references, so in my node--mypage--grid-item.html.twig i could check for that flag and determine should be content.body be rendered or not.

Thank for any hints.
