Drupal 7 – Update multiple nodes at once in a Views

2 Comments

Sometimes we may want to update multiple nodes at once. Views Bulk Operations may help if you want to set the same value for a field of multiple nodes. But if you want to set different values among a set of nodes, then Views Bulk Operations could not help.

In Drupal 6, the Editview module may help but unfortunately there is no Drupal 7 version. An alternative solution could be done by editablefields module.

1. Download and enable the module. (I used the 7.x-1.x-dev version)

2. Create a view with table format. (This is not necessary but better user interface)

Drupal 7 – Create Newsletter for specific role

2 Comments

Simplenews is a great module for newsletter feature in Drupal. You can find more info about it below.

 

QPon has been launched for more than a month but still not attractive to the shop owners in Hong Kong. Currently i have around 20 business users but only a few of them have uploaded their coupon. So i am thinking to create newsletter specific for them. This could be done easily by the Simplenews Roles module.

QPon – Made by Coupon

Made by Coupon
QPon is an online coupon platform for both shop owners and customers. The motivation of this project is to provide a free platform for the shop owners to promote their brand and products by offering discounts to customers. On the other hand, customers could find what they need in QPon.

One of the main feature which differentiate QPon from other typical coupon websites is the presentation. On the homepage, you could find many coupons flowing in a pool. Here, we name the coupon as QPon. The size of the QPon depends on the redemption ratio. The more people redeem it, the bigger it is until it meets the redemption quota and every QPon has equal probability could be viewed by the potential customers.

Now i want to have more control on the selection list. For example, i have a content type called competition and i want to limit the number of options in the Entity reference selection list. In this case, we have to create a custom module and alter the views_exposed_form.

Drupal 7 – Selection list for Entity reference in Views exposed filter

9 Comments

When you want to set an Entity reference field in Views exposed filter, it only allows free text input filter. But i want to have a selection list instead of a free text input.

Just simply go to the field setting page @ admin/structure/types/manage/<content-type>/fields/<field-name> and check the Render Views filters as select list option. Continue reading Drupal 7 – Selection list for Entity reference in Views exposed filter →
