Drupal Development

There's a hook for that! The logically named hook_requirements lets you set requirements for each module.

To make these requirements apply to an installation profile, simply put your implementation of hook_requirements in the .install file of a module that is required by that installation profile.

Skip down to the resolution for the code that worked– doing it this Drupal way.

Keep reading for the various wrong turns on the path to the right direction.

It's a common situation– you create a simple view that may do little more than filter on one content type in order to get a listing of press releases or links or recipes.

Sure, you can explain to your client and users that going to "Create content" and clicking press release or link or recipe will, when the post is submitted, get it automatically listed on this Views page. And that's pretty nice. But it's a lot more intuitive if the link to create relevant content were right on the view itself.

There are various approaches to getting a usable development environment working on a Microsoft Windows machine. Here are some:

VirtualBox

Best bet, virtualbox? Let's you make believe you're actually on, say Debian Linux.

Alternate title: Apparently I don't understand SQL (and so need all the help I can get)

The easiest way to get a better look at your SQL in Drupal is to install the devel module. (Hint: It's for use on development sites, not production sites!)

PHP array to CSV solution from the usenet forums:

cvs up -dP

If you want to completely wipe the slate clean, you can also do:

cvs up -dPC

Be careful with the C. That will overwrite anything in core you are working on.

Explode has a limit parameter. Happy day at Agaric!

This code below was written offline when I was merely hoping that explode could be limited to splitting on its first parameter only the first time said parameter is seen:

<?php
    db_query('delete from {ontology_relationships}');
   
    $bio_process_vocab = taxonomy_extra_get_vocab(6);
    $cell_components_vocab = taxonomy_extra_get_vocab(7);
    $molec_functions_vocab = taxonomy_extra_get_vocab(8);
   
    $term_glossary = array(); // format: term name => taxonomy ID
    $term_index = array(); // format: GO ID term => taxonomy ID
