How to export artboards to PDF sorted by artboard name - sketchapp

In Sketch 56, how can I Export Artboards to PDF sorted by artboard name?
I've manually sorted the artboards in the sidebar, but that didn't do anything. Exporting to PDF seems to follow the order the artboards are visually placed on screen (from top left to bottom right).

If you have multiple artboards to export in one pdf with artboard name on each artboard.
Here is the thing you can do on sketchApp:
1.) Firstly give names to all artboards above them manually with Text field. Check out the attachment for more clarification.
2.) Multiple ways to use Slice function in SketchApp, you can simply press "S" and slice will activate and another way is clicking on insert button on top left corner you can select Slice from the list.
3.) Using slice you can slice all the artboards at one like you are taking a screenshot of all the artboards at once.
4.) Slice has an export function so you can select the format(jpg,pdf,png,etc.) how you want to export the slice selected by you.
5.) You can also change background color before exporting the slice, also you can rename that slice like we do for all artboards.
Hope I understood your question correctly and this answer helps you. if you still have confusion you can reply to comments.
Thanks

I just have the same problem and I was looking for plugins and to fix this you just have to go to the Sketch Preferences, actually your question makes me realize how Sketch export to PDF, I haven't noticed that exports from the right to the left and then from top to bottom.
So go to Preferences, click on Layers and under Artboard Export choose: "From the Layer list" > "Top to bottom".
Done

Lightbox 2 - more than one gallery on a one-pager

I wanted to know, how I can use more than one light boxes from Lightbox2 on a one-pager.
It works but its all in one Gallery.
How can I divide that galleries to be separated in a Lightbox?
Please help.
I am using the following within the html:
Initial symbol deleted at beginning to get it to get it to display!
a href="photos_2021/photo1.jpg" data-lightbox="member" data-title="Text to display">
.... and again!
img src="photos_2021/photo1.jpg" alt="Text to display"/>
As an aside, Note that the thumbnail photo is the same as the actual photo to be displayed - saves on having to produce 2 versions.
The word "member" defines which group of photos it is part of so you can add "member2","member3" etc. for different groups of photos within the same page.

Can map points be entered in Postgis by clicking on the map in QGIS?

I have a Postgis table of about 200 entries for which I have to enter lat/lon coordinates. I use QGIS to process and display them. Is there a way of clicking at the QGIS map and thereby entering the coordinates into the Postgis table?
I can find the coordinates on the map, copy the coordinates and enter them in the table. But that is a lot of work and it is error prone. I browsed thru all plugins, found the digitizing tools promising but this does not do what I want. I googled this specific question but didn't find a clue.
Is what I want possible at all?
I am rather a noob at gis and qgis so it took me some time before I had the right keywords to search with. And the right keyword for what I want to do apparently is "digitize". What I want is partially possible. Links that helped me are:
https://www.igismap.com/digitization-in-qgis-exploring-tools-for-digitizing/
https://www.qgistutorials.com/en/docs/digitizing_basics.html
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/41799/adding-shapefiles-to-postgis-database
The gist of it is:
enable the advance digitizing toolbar: view > toolbars > advanced digitizing toolbar
create a new shapefile layer: layer > create new shapefile layer. Don't forget the correct fields, in my case the name of the location. Also try to remember where you store the file (it will be a shapefile), you later need that to import the shapefile into postgis
enable the edit state of the current layer, enable the type of shape you want to import. In my case they were points
click on each location, a dialog pops up with the attributes you should add
later on you should import the shapefile, you need the third link for that together with your memory of where you stored that #$#%$& file

Render part of page to file

How can I make InDesign render a region of a page, as it would be rendered when exporting the whole file?
I know I can render a PageItem using the exportFile function, but this will ignore any other PageItems sharing the same region.
My current solution is to make a new document the size of the region of interest, with a copy of each PageItem whose coordinates fall into that region. It’s very inelegant, and it seems it cannot be done without the user seeing windows meaningless to them come and go.
Another approach I can think of is to export the whole spread containing the region, then crop the resulting file using something like ImageMagick. But I’d still prefer to be able to render only the region I need, if possible.
You can open the InDesing document without showing its UI as well.
app.open(filepath, false);
and while closing the doc, simple use
doc.close(SaveOptions.NO);
You anyways don't need to save that doc on disk.
This will let you have the document open without showing its UI at all.
I did something like this recently. Here are my steps:
duplicate all spread items and group them
make a frame with a proper size/position
cut and paste the group into this frame
export the frame as PNG
If you need another region on this spread you don't need to repeat all the steps, you can change size and position of the frame and to export it again.
There is a limitation: master page items will be omitted.

Drupal 7 alter node display

I have a content type with two image fields, banner and logo.
I am trying to implement logic which will allow one of the two to display depending on whether an editor elected to display just the banner or just the logo from radio button options.
I setup a small custom module implementing hook_node_view and tried to unset the image field from the node object but no joy. Code fragment below:
function mymodule_node_view($node, $view_mode, $langcode){
unset($node->field_main_picture[$node->language][0]);
unset($node->field_main_picture);
$node->field_main_picture = null;
}
None of those attempts worked.
I found the answer to my question.
The node object contains an array called content which is the renderable data Drupal will print to screen.
It's in that array that my unsets need to take place. I.E:
unset($node->content['field_main_picture']);
And the main picture image disappears.
I hardly suggest you to work with Devel module when you are programming like that. It allows you to display variables in your page and visualize the tree. For example, you can call dpm($node) function in your hook_node_view() to see what's in $node and how to access it.

Implementing basic next/previous picture

I'm trying to convert the Adjuster example mentioned here: http://agiletoolkit.org/learn/understand/view/interactive
into a View that is able to show me the next/previous picture of a list of given images.
I guess the number in the example could be an index into an array of pictures.
I'm just not sure how to provide the list of pictures, when all the code is put in init() for the View, so no way to give it the picturelist before that...
Should I use memorize/recall for this list also to prevent it getting lost upon reload ?
is there another example that might help me?
I think you what you are doing can be much easier done with a classic JavaScript Lightbox script. You would supply it list of images and it would show one full-screen.
If not, you can use this:
https://gist.github.com/romaninsh/7217119
This will give you slides similar to the ones on http://agiletech.ie/
Be advised that this code is a little old.
