The use of virtual hosts allows us to effectively develop using XAMPP in a way that is similar to final deployment. It also allows for multiple installs of Drupal and permits developing for multiple sites using a single Drupal installation.

In this case we are aiming to set up a development virtual host installation with a URL of www.mugginsoft.local

The Issue here is that when filtering a Drupal 6 view using an argument the block filter selection does not match the argument.

Your Drupal view can be expressed both as a page and as a block. You can also filter your views content according to a taxonomy term argument. And now you want to generate your block according to the presence of your taxonomy term in your URL (either within a menu path or view search block request generated URI).

Usage

Just call MyViewBlockFromURI() wherever you require it. Stick it in a block if required. Also very handy in the header of a view - you can tie the view header into the content using the taxonomy term extracted from the URI.

Code

A Drupal 6 http client request is constructed so:

Some URLs, however, require that a cookie is passed to each request to ensure that a correct response is issued. First, however, the cookie must be retrieved from an initial request.

Often it may prove desirable to push an entire Drupal hierarchy into subversion. The example only provides for local file access.

On Fedora 8 subversion is already installed. To check if installation already present.

Login as root and create subversion root dir and children.

Now create repository for our html dir.

Scenario: Drupal 6 running on a Fedora 8 VPS requiring to send outgoing mail only via a Bluehost mail server.

When programmatically creating Drupal 6.0 nodes incorporating CCK fields it may be useful to know the allowed values for the field prior to submitting your form with drupal_execute().

NOTE: the listed function is otiose. Views supplies the required
functionality already.

 
  $content_field = content_fields('field_make');
  $allowed_values = content_allowed_values($content_field);

The following function returns an array of the allowed values for a CCK field.
