Previously we talked about adding query strings for drupal_goto().
Drupal – Escape the Hex Characters in drupal_goto()
When the form is submitted, we can decide the redirect path in the form_submit() function.
Redirect to node/1 after form submission
function <form id>_submit($form, &$form_state) {
$form_state['redirect'] = 'node/1'
}
A few months ago, i tried to add the latest jQuery to a Drupal 6 website. If you are still working on Drupal 6. Please refer to Drupal – Add Extra jQuery Library.
The approach we used in the above post does not work in Drupal 7 since drupal_set_html_head() has been renamed to drupal_add_html_head() and inline Javascript is no longer supported in this new version. So today i would like to show you another solution which works in Drupal 7.

The EntityFieldQuery does not support any method to select the entities by random. A simple workaround is using the query tag and implement the hook_query_TAG_alter().
Add addTag() in your EntityFieldQuery object.
$query = new EntityFieldQuery();
$query->entityCondition('entity_type', 'node')
->entityCondition('bundle', '<node type>')
->propertyCondition('status', 1)
->addTag('random')
->range(0, 1);

We can add preprocess function for regions such that we can add customization before rendering the region template file(.tpl.php).
Drupal 7 – Check if the current loading page is the node view page of a specific content type
Sometimes we may even want edit the template file(.tpl.php) for specific content such as a content type node view. In Omega theme, there are different regions and by default they will use the following template files.
<drupal>sites/all/themes/omega/omega/templates
I try to preprocess the content region of the Omega theme for a specific content type. So i have to check the content type inside the <subtheme>_alpha_preprocess_region(&$vars) function so that the preprocess modification only applies to that content type. In that case, we could make use of the menu_get_object() provided by the Drupal API.

switch ($vars['elements']['#region']) {
case 'branding':
$vars['linked_logo_img'] = $vars['logo'] ? l($vars['logo_img'], '<NEW HOME PATH>', array('attributes' => array('rel' => 'home', 'title' => check_plain($vars['site_name'])), 'html' => TRUE)) : '';
}
}
}
