Today I had the pleasure of launching a new Drupal 7 website into the Aegir hosting platform. However, I quickly discovered that migrating a Drupal 6 site and a Drupal 7 site, while similar, are really quite different.

The beginning

The website we were moving was built on a standard Drupal 7 installation on our development server. So the modules and themes were stored in the "sites/all/" directory and the files were stored in the "sites/default/files" directory.

We are working on an Ubercart store running Drupal 7 and we needed to add the price per unit to the shopping cart page. I didn't see any options for enabling this in the store administration area so I began looking for some code to make this happen. I came across this post, http://pixeljets.com/blog/adding-price-field-ubercart-cart-page, which was close to what I needed, but I figured there was a theme function I could use instead of a custom module.

We have a site that is running the views slideshow module to display advertisement images. Recently a client asked us to prevent these advertisements from displaying only one item on the screen. In order to do this I began dissecting the views slideshow module code and I came across the template_preprocess_views_slideshow_cycle_main_frame() function.

Today I needed to prevent a Drupal 6 website from getting indexed by the search engines. This would normally be a relatively easy task by having the robots.txt file disallow everything.

The other day I was tasked with redirecting the Drupal login form to the user account page.

Today I needed to create an ajax powered form using Drupal 7, the caveat being that I needed one user action to perform multiple ajax actions to different sections of the form. To begin, my form element with the ajax looks like this:

  $form['company']['company_branches'] = array(
    '#type' => 'select',
    '#title' => t(

Today I was setting up a website that was using FlickrSync to pull images from Flickr. FlickrSync creates one node per image and uses Flickr's tags as taxonomy terms. Perfect. I created a new Term view to pull all taxonomy terms associated to the 'Gallery' vocabulary I had created. The problem I ran into was that the view pulled ALL image nodes tagged with each gallery term. This was not what I was looking for.

I've recently been exposing a custom module's data to views 3 in Drupal 7. I copied the code from the uc_product module and for some reason, I couldn't get my views handlers to get registered with the system. Everything I tried would result in a broken/missing handler error.

I'm building an e-commerce website and I decided to use Drupal 7 and Ubercart. During development I discovered that Ubercart 2's function, hook_cart_item, was no longer available to Drupal 7.

Today I needed to take the parent menu item from my primary links and add it to the beginning of my secondary menu links.
