Drupal – Customized the User Registration Form

Leave a comment

For the Drupal registration form, there is no .tpl.php template file for editing the registration form layout. So if you want to add more HTML code around the form, you have to do it on code level.

I found a useful post about modifying the registration form. It make use of the template.php in the theme folder to theme the form. For more information. Please visit Drupal – Custom registration page theme.

In this post, i will modify the registration form by creating a custom module. Continue reading Drupal – Customized the User Registration Form →

Drupal – Auto Assign Roles to Newly Registered User

Leave a comment

The Auto Assign Role module serves 4 purposes:

  • Automatic role assignment for user registration
  • Automatic role assignment for admin created accounts
  • Assign role by path for user registration
  • Allow user to choose the roles in the user registration form

 

After the module installation, you could configure the Auto Assign Role setting @ Administer –> User management –> Auto assign role. Now, i would show you how to assign the role to user by the registration path. i am not going to demonstrate the others as they are quite straight forward.

Leave a comment

How does the cron job in Drupal work? Let’s take a look.
cron.php

<?php
// $Id: cron.php,v 1.36 2006/08/09 07:42:55 dries Exp $

/**
 * @file
 * Handles incoming requests to fire off regularly-scheduled tasks (cron jobs).
 */

include_once './includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
drupal_cron_run();

 

Looks simple, right? the drupal_cron_run() function will run the default Drupal cron tasks as well as invoking the hook_cron() in all modules. Continue reading Drupal – Define Your Own Cron Job →

Drupal – Enable Custom PHP Code Condition for Rules

Leave a comment

Last time i have shown you the basic usage of the Rules module.
Drupal – Build Simple Workflow with Rules

Whenever a rule is fired, you can add some conditions to validate if the actions should be run. And you can even setup a PHP code condition for rule. But this feature required the PHP Filter in the Drupal Core modules.
