Upgrade between Drupal versions using a diff shell script

[This should be on its way to being obsoleted by drush, but i'm using it for Drupal 7 alpha so thought i'd finally make sure it was shared.]

Download this and other useful scripts from their public repository on gitorious.

(Please use the code from the repository, the below may be out of date.)

check for stale system table entries in one line

for file in mysql dbname -e "SELECT filename FROM system" | sed "1d"; do [ ! -f $file ] && echo $file; done

This lists all the files from the system table that do not exist in the actual file system anymore.

In our experience, this more often mean modules with bad uninstall practices, rather than modules deleted without uninstalling.

Add a subsection class to Drupal page body for theming Views and other parts of a site that can be defined by parts of the path

I had wanted to add the name of the view with its display to the body classes (Views apparently provides everything but that combination, and not all browsers we need to support deal with matching on two sibling classes). Looked in Zen for how to do it first though and as a consequence saw a way to add new sub-section body class with the first two parts of each URL.

This goes in your zen subtheme's implementation of preprocess page:

Check for duplicate titles of a node with AJAX to warn immediately before entering more data or submitting

Attached is a custom module that piggybacks on Unique Field and steals most of its other code from username_checkUsername Check.

Commit message: "Working Unique Field AJAX enhancement for node titles. Pretty sweet. It doesn't take away the duplicate warning when you change the title to not be duplicate, but it does change to a green checkmark (courtesy of the username_check module from which I also stole most of the code)."

I can't believe no one has done this!

drupal form tweaks remove related terms

The commit message upon completion...

"Clean taxonomy term add / edit form by removing related terms and moving parents from the closed advanced fieldset to the open identification fieldset if the vocabulary has already been made hierarchical."

How to add a node id to a page's CSS classes

Submitted by Benjamin Melançon on November 17, 2009 - 7:36am

If your page.tpl.php already prints $body_classes (or equivalent) in the <body> tag, then you likely need only to add a single line to have the nid included with a class such as "node-1".
