In Drupal 7, we can easily create export Views data by the Views data export module. Say, we want to export all current nodes with title and post date.
1. Download and install the module.

There are a few ways to get the current URL in Drupal 7. First, we can get the $_GET[‘q’] by the current_path() function. But it will ignore the language prefix if you are working on a multilingual site.
Here is an example to select entities by the current language in EntityFieldQuery.
// Get the current language
global $language;
// Setup the EntityFieldQuery
$query = new EntityFieldQuery();
$query->entityCondition('entity_type', 'node')
->entityCondition('bundle', '<CONTENT TYPE>') // ex. article
->propertyCondition('status', 1) // published nodes
->propertyCondition('language', $language->language, '='); // filter by current language
// Execute the query
$result = $query->execute();
Done =)
Drupal 7 provides the truncate_utf8() function for you to trim any string in PHP manually. Assume you have a lorem ipsum paragraph.
Pathauto is the most common module which i think almost all Drupal websites use it to format the path alias. Sometime we want to use the node title as part of the path alias but if we are working on multilingual Drupal website, this may lead to non english URL.
So we have the Transliteration module to solve the problem. It takes Unicode text and tries to represent it in US-ASCII characters by attempting to transliterate the pronunciation expressed by the text in some other writing system to Roman letters. In addition, it also helps creating clean file name on file upload.
1. Download and install the Transliteration module.

After almost 2 years, the BeansTag module finally get through the review process and it is not officially released! If you want to find a simple tool to add page title and meta tags on your Drupal 7 website, BeansTag may be a good option for you.
BeansTag is a page title, meta tag and meta description management tool. You could add the above attributes to any path alias and they would be shown in the webpage. It fully support any pages including views, panel pages as well as nodes.
BeansTag also support multiple language since the language prefix in the path alias is also included when rendering the BeansTag.
The Drupal Webform does not have the reset button by default. If you want to have one, you can create custom module to alter the form.
function <module>_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
if (strpos($form_id, 'webform_client_form_') === 0 || ($form_id=='user_register_form')) {
$form['actions']['reset'] = array(
'#type' => 'button',
'#value' => t('Reset'),
'#weight' => 100,
'#validate' => array(),
'#attributes' => array('onclick' => 'this.form.reset(); return false;'),
);
}
}
The above code will add the reset button to all Webform as well as the user registration form.
Done =)

Some days ago, i write a blog post about how to render a Drupal 7 block programmatically.
Drupal 7 – Render a Block programmatically
If the block is created by Views, there is a simpler solution provided by the Views API. And we can also pass the contextual filter argument too.
print views_embed_view(<view machine name>, <display id>, <arg 1>);
Done =)

A long time ago, i have a post about hacking into the CCK module so we could have more options when settings the number of values per field in the field setting page.
Drupal – Increase Views Relationship Delta Limit
This is a dirty approach as mentioned by eosrei.
So in Drupal 7, we can do it by creating a custom module and alter the field_ui_field_edit_form. Let’s implement the following hook_form_FORM_ID_alter() in a custom module.
