I had an issue where I had a google map showing the locations of results, and a filter which helped you zoom in on locations. Basically you typed a location and the map showed the location of the results as well as some listings. However, if there were no results, instead of showing an empty page, I wanted the google map to appear with all results and an error message. What I did was set up an "Empty text" value which called a views function "views_embed_view()", I then created a block within that view but without the exposed filter (actually removing that filter all together).

I needed a pay per node solution for Drupal, I was very surprised at the distinct lack of modules for this in Drupal! I have started to port the uc_nodetype module for ubercart but have hit some issues. If anyone is interested in helping me with this, then please let me know.

It mostly works quite smoothly, the only problem I have is trying to display the node edit form on the cart checkout page, it either breaks the page or doesn't show any field elements. It should be such an easy thing but I can't figure it out.

I was really surprised that Drupal as standard did not show the user signature on the user profile, it doesn't even give you the option! It's really simple to do if you know how but took me a while to figure out.

You must create a module (see drupal documentation for doing that) and paste the following in...

function MYMODULE-NAME_profile_alter(&$account) {
$account->content['summary']['signature'] = array (
'#type' => user_profile_item,
'#title' => t('About the writer'),
'#value' => $account->signature,
'#weight' => -1,
);
}


I had the problem whereby I wanted to change the theme layout of the locale bar. The devel module told me to use the template file “block-locale.tpl.php” but when I created this file and populated it with dummy information, it did nothing. I tried clearing the cache and still could not get it to change the content of the locale block.

In the end I found out that if you do not have block.tpl.php (example code below for you to start with) in your theme then block-locale.tpl.php gets ignored.
