theming Quick Tabs in Drupal

Posted on December 29, 2008 by Denis

The Quick Tabs module allows you to create blocks of jQuery-powered tabbed content (like those found on Facebook) with ease, specifically views, blocks, and even Quick Tab blocks (within another Quick Tab block). The latest version of the module features AJAX integration, which allows you to choose whether all tabs should load on page load or load on tab click (which optimzes page loading times).

DEMO: See the Quick Tabs in action on the top of my frontpage.

This article documents my use of Quick Tabs, especially on how I used CSS to theme a custom tab style, and highlights a few other important considerations for web developers. For general installation and configuration documentation, visit the module's official project page.

Drupal TinyMCE media plugin

Posted on December 17, 2008 by Denis

UPDATE: As a holiday present, I've attached a working tarball of my entire TinyMCE setup below which took me a few months of trial-and-error to perfect. It's powered by TinyMCE 3.1.0.1 and has this media plugin along with many other goodies installed and WORKING flawlessly with ZERO glitches. FF3 is your best bet for non-erratic behavior and proper execution of TinyMCE's JS code. Simply place the tinymce folder under ../sites/all/modules/ and follow TinyMCE module's regular instructions to install. Cheers! (2008-12-17 06:04:51)


Embedding online videos in a blog entry via Drupal may be a bit tricky, especially when the pre-bundled "media" plug-in is not enabled in the original plugin_reg.php file of the TinyMCE module. Read more

bug fixed: File Framework prevents FlashVideo nodes from displaying properly

Posted on December 17, 2008 by Denis

UPDATED STATUS: Solution found. Bug fixed. Case closed. See below for details on how I resolved the issue. (2008-12-08 03:49:20)

STATUS: Bug identified. Partial solution and workaround found. Case still open. (2008-12-17 05:10:40)

VERSIONS AFFECTED: File Framework 6.x-1.0-alpha2 and FlashVideo 6.x-1.4-rc1, 6.x-1.4-rc2, or 6.x-1.4

SYMPTOMS: After you update FlashVideo to 6.x-1.4-rc1 or later, the flash media player (Player.swf by default) stops displaying in all your existing FlashVideo nodes. A "Video currently not available" image like the one below replaces the flash media player container.

The same also happens when you create new nodes via FlashVideo by manual video file attachment upload or the module's batch video import feature. Simply put -- videos stop displaying when they're supposed to. Read more
