Error 1104: Invalid xml name

Since XML is not used in the project we were working on, it didn’t make any sense…

If you use a TLF-Text text field in the Flash IDE, and you type certain characters (in our case “=”) the error starts to appear.
Not sure if this is always the case, but in our case, it triggered the error.

The only workaround I can provide at this time, is to switch the TLF-Text back to Classic-Text.
This off course means loosing the TLF-functionality, but it does stop the error from occurring.

It’s not a good idea to use the standard form submit handler to redirect to another page since drupal calls a number of hooks when saving a node.

What does work, is setting the $form_state['redirect'] on the submit buttons submit handler.
$form['buttons']['submit']['#submit'][] = ‘my_module_example_form_submit’

Thx to Brian Vuyk for pointing this out.

This problem can be resolved by adding the following hook to you custom module

/**
* implementation of hook_views_pre_render
*/
function mymodule_views_pre_render($view) {
if ($view->name == ‘view_name’) {
foreach($view->result as $term) {
$term->term_data_name = tt(’taxonomy:term:’.$term->tid.’:name’, $term->term_data_name);
}
}
}

Why not let pathauto do it for you?

if (module_exists(’pathauto’)) {
// add the pathauto.inc file
require_once(drupal_get_path(’module’, ‘pathauto’) . ‘/pathauto.inc’);
$sane_string = pathauto_cleanstring(’èàé ï%’);
}

This is the solution:

/* IE Word wrapper */
word-wrap: break-word;

Hopefully this cal help you.

When I copied a Drupal site from our testserver to my local machine i found out i couldn’t login to Drupal using Internet Explorer (7).
Firefox worked fine but IE refused 100% of the time. No error messages or warnings, the login block was emptied and you’d return to thesame page.
I did some research and turns out Internet Explorer makes a problem out of underscores in your domainname (whereas Firefox ignores it). Guess what i was using …
I changed my apache vhosts file and windows hosts file by removing the underscore for that particular site, rebooted apache and afterwards my login worked like a charm in IE.

Hope this helps someone .(be aware that I found more problems than this in using IE, sometimes just clearing your cookies would do the tric according to some users. Not in my case though).

PS: This has to be the 5.789.438th time i wished someone would just nuke IE of the planet…

The idea is simple :

1) test your own custom query in phpmyadmin for example.

2) create a view and save it. You don’t have to set any filters since the SQL will be overwritten.

2) if you haven’t created your own module yet, create one now and place the following code in it.  replace MYMODULE by the name of your own module and VIEW_NAME by the name of the view you’ve just created. Then, change the sql query you see here by your own.

function MYMODULE _views_pre_execute(&$view) {

//drupal_set_message(’—->>>’.$view->name);
if($view->name==”VIEW_NAME”) {

$view->build_info['query']=”SELECT vidnode.nid as nid, vidnode.title as title
FROM node vidnode WHERE vidnode.type=’ptl_remotevideo’
AND vidnode.status <> 0
AND vidnode.nid NOT IN (
SELECT DISTINCT media.field_media_video_ref_nid as video_nid
FROM content_field_media_video_ref media
)”;

}

}

That’s it. I used a node view and it gave me what i wanted. I didn’t have time to check out other settings but i guess it shouldn’t be too hard.

With 2D barcodes you can.

A 2D barcode or Matrix code is a two-dimensional way of representing information.
It has more data representation capability then a (1-dimensional) barcode.

What is cool about a 2D barcode is that it can be read by every mobile device that has a camera and the reader software. So no special hardware required to scan a 2D barcode

You can store some formatted information on a 2D barcode. This information is in the form of an URI.

Most 2D barcode readers will send the URI encoded in the 2D barcode to the platform specific implementation.
That is why some URI’s will not been interpreted by one phone but will be by another phone.

These are some informartion you can encode in a 2D barcode:

• Link to a website.
  http:// is required, otherwise it will not know it is a website
  example : http://www.calibrate.be
• Email address
  example : mailto:newmedia@calibrate.be
• Telephone numbers
  example :  tel:+3238719962
• Contact Information based on the “MECARDâ€�
  MECARD:N:Hermans,Joris;ADR: Veldkant 31, 2550 Kontich, Belgium;TEL: +32 3 871 99 62;EMAIL:joris@calibrate.be;;
• SMS hava some few possibilities : sms or smsto
  sms:number:subject or smsto:number:subject
• Geographic information
  example : geo:40.71872,-73.98905,100
• …

The QR Code is a type of 2D barcode that you can use for free. You will find also a lot of mobile reader software for this type of 2D barcode (for example zxing).
So putting a hyperlink to the digital world on your building is easy.

building with a qrcode

If you want to play with it already you can always use a QR-Code generator like this.
And if you want to add dynamic behavior easily to it, you can always take a look at touchatag.
