This updated code came from the book Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog, which I picked up at my local library today.  Looks to be a great read for those interested in Wordpress.

Welcome Yahoo Pipes.  My home page RSS works like a charm now, and I have little fear that this service will disappear overnight.

Makes me wonder what is next.  Letting Google host my jQuery or site fonts?  That is just crazy.

Dreamweaver CS5 New Features

A peek at Drupal 7 theme system changes

First, open up node.tpl.php in the root of your theme directory and paste the following code at the bottom:

<?php
	drupal_add_js(array('title' => $title,
						'logged_in' => $logged_in,
						), 'setting');
	drupal_add_js(path_to_theme().'/js/drupal_js.js');
?>

The first line of the PHP code creates the setting array that Drupal will use to pass information to jQuery. The second line creates a reference to the external JavaScript file that we will create in the next step.

Create a new JavaScript file called drupal_js.js and place it in a /js folder in the root of your theme. Paste the following code into drupal_js.js (replace ‘myThemeName’ with your actual theme name on the first line):

Drupal.behaviors.myThemeName = function(context) {
	alert('Title: ' + Drupal.settings.title + '\nLogged in: ' + Drupal.settings.logged_in);
}

The first line of the JavaScript code is the Drupal replacement for the standard jQuery ‘$(document).ready(function() {‘. You can use it with either a theme (Drupal.behaviors.myThemeName) or a module (Drupal.behaviors.myModuleName).

Next, we create an alert using the Drupal variables from the setting array. In order to reference the variables, you need to tack ‘Drupal.setting.’ on the front of the variable name.

When you view a page that is using node.tpl.php you should see a JavaScript alert pop up that states the title of the node and the logged in status of the current user.

<?php
// Get RSS Feed(s)
include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/feed.php');

// Get a SimplePie feed object from the specified feed source.
$rss = fetch_feed('http://www.rssmix.com/u/800770/rss.xml');
if (!is_wp_error( $rss ) ) : // Checks that the object is created correctly
	// Figure out how many total items there are, but limit it to 5.
	$maxitems = $rss->get_item_quantity(5);
	// Build an array of all the items, starting with element 0 (first element).
	$rss_items = $rss->get_items(0, $maxitems);
endif;
echo $postcount;
?>
<div id="bookmarks">
	<h2>recent delicious bookmarks</h2>
	<ul>
		<?php if ($maxitems == 0) echo '<li>No items.</li>';
		else
		// Loop through each feed item and display each item as a hyperlink.
		foreach ( $rss_items as $item ) : ?>
			<li>
				<a href='<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>'
				title='<?php echo 'Posted '.$item->get_date('j F Y | g:i a'); ?>'>
				<?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></a>
			</li>
		<?php endforeach; ?>
	</ul>
</div>
<?php } ?>

In order to get the feed to display after the first post, I used the following code:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
	<?php $count = 0; ?>
	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<?php $count++; ?>
		<?php if ($count == 2) { ?>
        	<!-- RSS CODE HERE -->
		<?php } ?>
		<!-- STANDARD WORDPRESS LOOP STUFF HERE -->

This page on the Drupal.org site is a good starting place if you are attempting to use a lightbox, namely Lightbox2, to display Drupal content.

p.s. My blog content went moldy on me.  I guess there isn’t much shame involved when my site content gets old and nobody is around to see it.
