Watchdog Log

Posted by hamu

For debugging: Add a call to watchdog in the module or template.php, and set the type to the module or theme name:
watchdog($type, $message)

To view the messages you added using the watchdog, go to Administration >> Reports >> Recent log messages

things I learned about color module

Posted by hamu

Problem:

Changing theme colors using the admin area failed.

Solution:

The logo.png file was missing from the theme's root folder, probably causing a uncaught exception that caused the bug. After locating the image file in thr correct place (root folder), the problem ceased.

Pre-defined color schemes

Pre-defined color schemes are declared in 'color.inc' file, as an array inside 'schemes' array, and are executed in 'preview.js'. So we can use these 2 files to add color definitions to the theme.

Apply patch in NetBeans

Posted by hamu

NetBeans

To apply patches to code using NetBeans:

Open the project and right-click on the file or folder you want to patch.
Tools > Apply Diff Patch...
Browse to and select the patch file you want to apply. > Click "Patch".

Quoted from Drupal.org site

I used it to apply patches on Views Calc module. It worked only when I initiated the action from the file, and not from the module's folder.

Need: I have a content type with a File field. When this field is displayed, I want it to show only icon without any text.
The current formats are either "Generic file" (icon + file name), "Table of files" (icon + file name + size) and "URL to file" (the entire file's URL).
I want to add a format "File icon", that will display an icon that utilizes as a link to the file.

What I did:
I created a very simple module called "File icon". I placed the file_icon directory in sites\default\modules
