Drupal 6: Ask user to complete user profile when login

If you want your website users to have to complete their user profile when they’re login, you can use the module login destination.

1. Install module login destination
2. Go to Administer > User Management > Login Destination
3. In the Destination URL Settings, choose PHP Snipplet. Input this code:

global $user;
profile_load_profile($user);
if ($user->uid == 1) {
return 'admin';
} elseif ($user->profile_first_name == "" ||
$user->profile_last_name == "" ||
$user->profile_address == ""
) {
drupal_set_message('Please Complete your Personal Information', 'status');
return 'user/' . $user->uid . '/edit/Personal%20information';
} else {
return 'node';
}

This code will verify the user who login. If its admin (user with uid 1), he/she will be redirect to admin page. If other user is login, it will verify the user profile information. If the information is still blank, it will redirect the user to the profile page to complete the profile information.

Hope this help.

Thanks

 

Embed flash to website

To embed flash to your website, you can use this:

<embed height="138" loop="true" menu="true" play="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="/path/to/files.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="840" wmode="transparent"></embed>

Use wmode=”transparent” to make the flash below the html (especially in IE). For some cases, in IE the flash is always on top of other html even if you use z-index positional. Use wmode=”transparent” to fix this problem.

Add Superfish drop down menu for Drupal 6 Theme

If you want Your Drupal theme to have some nice drop down menu, you can use Superfish. I’ll explain how to install it on your Drupal themes.

1. Download Superfish from here.
   This zip file contain superfish javascript, css, and image. extract it to your theme folder. Create folder sf inside your theme directory and extract this file there.
2. Edit yourtheme.info files.
   Add superfish javascript and css (optional) to your .info file. If you already have your own css for the drop down menu, you may not add the superfish css to you .info file.
   stylesheets[all][] = sf/css/superfish.css
stylesheets[all][] = sf/css/theme.css
scripts[] = sf/js/superfish.js
   If you want your superfish menu different from your Primary links, you can add this line in your .info file.
   regions[superfish_menu] = Superfish Menu
3. If you want to use superfish for you primary links, you can add these lines to your template.php file.
   function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
$vars['primary_menu'] = menu_tree(variable_get('menu_primary_links_source', 'primary-links'));
$vars['secondary_menu'] = theme('links', $vars['secondary_links'], array('class' => 'links secondary-links'));
}
   This function will load primary links tree to var primary_menu. You will use this primary_menu instead of primary_links in your page.tpl.php file.
   If you use superfish for diferent menu, you may not add this function.
