I have some custom pages in my drupal 7 site. I need to display the
name of the content type in each page. What function shall I use to
display the name of the content type?
You could print out the content type from the node.tpl.php in your theme. The $node object gets passed to the node.tpl.php file , you you just need to echo out <?php echo $node->type; ?> where you want it to display.

I am working on CakePHP 2.7. I have to show some static menu on every page. Since, the menu contains lot of sub menus, I want to keep them in a separate file navigation.ctp and show them on default.ctp
I tried extend and elements but none of them give expected result.
Note : This is not dynamic menu and I am not fetching them from database.
Place your navigation.ctp inside app/View/Elements/
Then, inside your default.ctp, include the element as follows:
<?= $this->element('navigation'); ?>
Note that if you need any variables within the element, you may need to pass them through inside an array as a second parameter, such as:
<?= $this->element('navigation', array(
"varible_name" => "variable_value"
)); ?>
I am trying to override the front page node, however after following the guide from the official site, it's not working.
Guide: https://www.drupal.org/node/1585528
I have taken node.tpl.php and renamed it to node--front.tpl.php and made changes to the layout, saved and cleared cache. The changes are not being displayed.
Now if I edit node.tpl.php directly it shows the changes, anyone know what I am doing wrong to override specific node templates?
EDIT:
I want to move the title below the image being displayed in the front page.
See below: Moving the title block under the content block, moves the title down as I want it to do, however how do I specify this for just the front page and not all nodes? (renaming node.tpl.php to node--front.tpl.php does not work as mentioned above)
In node.tpl.php: (title block)
<?php print render($title_prefix); ?>
<?php if (!$page): ?>
<h2<?php print $title_attributes; ?>>
<?php print $title; ?>
</h2>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php print render($title_suffix); ?>
(content block)
<div class="content clearfix"<?php print $content_attributes; ?>>
<?php
// We hide the comments and links now so that we can render them later.
hide($content['comments']);
hide($content['links']);
print render($content);
?>
To override the node template for particular node, you need to override the default node.tpl.php. For this copy the existing node.tpl.php file to node--{node_id}.tpl.php.
If you want to override the page template only for front page then you can create page--front.tpl.php file and copy the page.tpl.php file and then modify it as per your requirement.
Still you have issues, then use hook_preprocess_page() in template.php and use dpm() function to find the theme_suggestions that will give the sequence of execution of templates file.
you can use node-{nodeid}.tpl.php
It may help you.

I'm trying to fetch a common element from my admin.ctp layout
<?php echo $this->fetch('my_element'); ?>
This functions is working properly in my default layout but is returning an empty string if called from my admin layout.
I'm using admin routing prefixes.
Can you use this form:
<?php echo $this->element('my_element'); ?>
Is there a way I can fully customize a page in Drupal? I don't want the Drupal header or any other HTML generated by Drupal to show up, but I want to be able to access the Drupal functions.
Basically you want a new page template (as opposed to a node template). This does not quite work out of the box in Drupal 7 so there are a few steps:
Step 1
Create a new content type for this specially themed page, call it "special" or whatever...
Step 2
Add this code to your theem's template.php file. (Replace "yourthemename" in the code below with your theme's machine name, that is to say the name of your theme folder in /sites/all/)
function yourthemename_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
if (isset($vars['node']->type)) {
$vars['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'page__' . $vars['node']->type;
}
}
Step 3
Create a new page template in your theme folder and name it after the new content type. so for example: page--special.tpl.php and "special" being the name of the content type. Customize away!
Step 4
Clear cache
Step 5
Create a new peice of content using your new content type -- it will be in the design of your new page template.
The end result will be like having a completely separate theme but staying within your existing theme.
Note, I wrote a blog post on how to do this for Drupal 6 but if you read down the comments, there are ideas and links how do this for D7 but basically what I have said here.
http://highrockmedia.com/blog/creating-custom-content-type-page-templates-drupal-php
You can run an alernative page.tpl.php file. Eg. page--front.tpl.php
Not sure it's the best way to do this but it will work. You can strip anything you don't want out of the file so it is totally different to other pages.
Drupal is pretty flexible:
<?php
$json = array(
'body' => 'This is the body of the page.',
'title' => 'This is the page title',
);
return drupal_json_output($json);
?>
How to generate 'a href="javascript:void(0)"' like link in CakePHP?
I make an application, the content will insert into the editor textarea when user click a list of image. I add a class to these images and write some code in the javascript file. Everything is going well.
But the link of the image is a URL address, but not 'href="javascript:void(0)' like URL. Anyone could tell me how to make it in CakePHP?
Thanks in advance!
<?php
echo $this->Html->link(
'/path/to/image/',
'javascript:void(0)'
);
?>
You can either set a path to the image or use the Html helper to generate the image tag code. The second parameter will set the href.
Don't believe there is any dynamic way, however when you are creating your form element you can set it in the options array 'href' => 'javascript:void(0)'
