Advanced Help Injection and Export: /modules/helpinject/helpinject.module 1.31
A block that appears on book node views if there are incoming help links. It tells you which types of links are incoming and what the path or form_id is.

My first Acquia screencast - in English, German, and Italian!

It was a lot of work to get this right technologically *and* come up with a presentation that I could live with. So many issues: length, mic, formats, new programs ... In the end, I am pretty happy with it and am really looking forward to making this format my own.
Future plans include experimenting with more eye candy, background music, better microphone work, experiments with screen size ...
Versions in Italian and German included after the jump!

Really funny how changing the music of the opening credits of "Different Strokes" changes how I perceive the whole set up ... forget unrealistically cheerful sitcom land and enter the creepy zone

#426974 fine grained injection based on path. You can now differentiate between node/1, node/%, and node. Snazzy multi-step form makes the injection process nicer.

Redirect to "destination" after submitting a multi-step Drupal form

Wed, 05/06/2009 - 12:49 — Robert Douglass

For the HelpInject module I needed a multi-step form. This is pretty easy in Drupal 6. The problem I encountered was that the “destination” parameter was no longer being honored, and the form was submitting to itself after the last step. It was supposed to be redirecting to “destination”. Here’s the code that made it work. The tip is to unset $form_state['storage'] after you’re done with it because for some reason that’s FAPI’s litmus test for whether or not to redirect.

<?php
// The form is built like this
function foobar_form(&$form_state, $type) {
  if (empty($form_state['storage']['foo'])) { } else {  }
}

// The submit handler follows a similar pattern. function foobar_form_submit($form, &$form_state) { if (empty($form_state['storage']['foo'])) { $form_state['storage']['foo'] = $form_state['values']['foo']; $form_state['rebuild'] = TRUE; } else { ... do CRUD ... // if you want your form to respect destination, // unset the storage. unset($form_state['storage']); } } ?>

Usability feature: When creating a book page by following the 'Create' link on the injection form, require that the new book page be placed in a book outline. This prevents the confustion that arises when the newly created book node, not placed in an outline, doesn't show up in the list of books that can be injected.
