Welcome to Bri-Space

Posted Fri, 2009-09-25 13:06 by Bri

Bri-Space is a site that I started as a sandbox for Drupal module testing. It sat for quite some time as i only occasionally used it to test out some contributed modules before moving them to a production site. I added all kinds of stuff along the way, most of which I took down. After awhile I decided to share what I have learned along the way while tackling Drupal projects. I am in no way, shape, or form an expert on Drupal, but perhaps others can find useful tidbits.

In addition to Drupal info, I occasionally post information about general PHP, CSS, or anything that i think might be beneficial to other web developers.

Theme Files to Open in a new window based on Mime Types

Posted Tue, 2012-02-21 13:35 by Bri

There is a thread on drupal.org that describes how to theme drupal 6 filefields and Drupal 7 files to have them open in a new window based on the mime type. I am posting this here so that I can find it easier the next time I need to do so. I didn't write this code. I haven't tried the Drupal 6 code, but the thread appeared to have several people confirm that it worked. I myself can confirm that the code for drupal 7 works.

Add one of the following to your template.php file in your theme.

For Drupal 6 file fields

Here I want to setup a page with a few views. I want to create a page of node teasers of some sort, perhaps with some exposed filters, but I also want a block that shows a summary of my nodes. I want the block to show how many nodes are in a particular taxonomy. This is nice to do with a taxonomy of States or "types" and acts as a "view nodes by type" action. This can be done with a regular text field as well, but if you are using a taxonomy it is a little trickier. Here are some basic instructions to create a page that looks like the following:
