If you want to change the Save button text to Submit in Drupal 7 add the following to your template.php file.

Simply replace YOURTHEME with the name of your theme and CONTENTTYPE to the machine name of your content type.

function YOURTHEME_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
if ($form_id == ‘CONTENTTYPE_node_form’) {
$form['actions']['submit']['#value'] = t(‘Submit’);
}
}

In node.tpl.php

<?php print render($content['field_EXAMPLE']); ?>
<?php print render($content['body']); ?>

In page.tpl.php

<?php print $node->field_EXAMPLE['und'][0]['value']; ?>

Drupal 7x

If you have copied the Garland theme and renamed the directory and garland.info file you need to change all references of garland in the template.php file to your new theme name.

If when converting a theme to Drupal 7 you get the following Javascript errror in your JQuery:

$ is not a function

This is because Drupal 7 improves compatability with other Javascript libraries so you need to put the following wrapper around your code:


(function ($) {

})(jQuery);


In a Drupal site you may have a content type that needs an auto number to be generated that auto increments on each new node of that type.

To do this install the computed field module

http://drupal.org/project/computed_field

Then create a new field of the type computed field and add the code from the following URL

http://drupal.org/node/313110

For WordPress the integration with Akismet is an ideal solution for removing spam comments from your website. Until recently this tight integration was not available for Drupal. While Akismet was available for Drupal it lacked some of the abilities that WordPress included.

This was until Mollom became available for Drupal, designed by Dries Buytaert, the founder of Drupal. Mollom works in a similar way to Akismet however has tight integration with Drupal. A free version is available for smaller sites and a professional version for busier sites costing 30 Euros/month.

For more about Mollom visit:

For more about Drupal visit:

I have tested Mollom on a number of client sites and will be implementing it soon on our parent website, www.imafish.co.uk .

If you get out of memory errors in PHP or if Drupal suggests you increase the memory available to PHP then you can do this with the following line of code:

ini_set('memory_limit','16M');

In Drupal the best place to put this is in the settings.php file found in sites/default/

When installing Drupal 6 if you find the database page keeps reloading when you enter the database details try to enter the username/password and database name directly into sites/default/settings.php

For some reason even when setting the settings.php file to writable Drupal cannot write to it which is why you need to enter it manually.
