I want to display particular block on view page. I have added list to show specific view in a particular block as <viewpagename>, but it is not working. How can I show a particular block on a particular view page in Drupal 7?
Long time I didn't touch Drupal, however, if I remember right, after you choose a path for your view, you can add that path to the settings of the block.
so if the view is available on /view-page, add to the block setting "view-page" in the "include" section.
There is a block_views module made specifically for this reason I believe. It's in beta but works rather nicely for Drupal 7:

In Drupal one can basically style the elements, like the search box, or the basic page etc. and then put some content in the site and the resulting page will be generated. But what if you want one specific site (e.g. the index page) to be different? E.g. have a image as a background, a different navigation styling etc.
What's the best paractice way of doing this?
Best practice is to have a different theme which you can switch to by using hook_custom_theme() where you check the current path. Also make sure that your theme to switch to is enabled:
/**
* Implements hook_custom_theme().
*/
function YOUR_MODULE_custom_theme() {
# check path with arg(0)
# return theme name to switch to
return 'different_theme_machine_name';
}
Alternatively you can also try ThemeKey doing this out of the box with an interface & allowing you the specify rules.
If you need to change only the content(body) section of your page, use Disply Suite. You can create unique look and feel layouts for your body section of each page.
If you trying to change the complete layout of one page (eg: Services), Create new Content Type 'Services'. Then create a template file for this content type, You must name this template call page--services.tpl.php. And also you can overwrite the index page layout by creating page--front.tpl.php template. Done!
What you are saying you want to change is all styling. And you know you can do a page to look drastically different with CSS... and you can do it that way depending on your chosen Drupal theme.
Now, with the Chrome Inspector (or FF inspector) look at the body tag, it probably has many classes which indicates in what page you are, what type of node (if it's a node) or if it's an admin section, or an anonymous user.
Using those specific classes you can style a frontpage, or a view, or a node, or anything, without installing more modules... with some limitations because you can't change rendered HTML this way.
Finally, don't get scared by using modules in Drupal, it's how Drupal works and it works pretty well. The thing is to install the best tools to increase your productivity, and Drupal have excellent options to change your theming and content like Display Suite (like #BaikHo suggested).
Hope that helps.
PD: Using the less module and with custom your theme you can have LESS css which is considerably faster than using only CSS, and because it's integrated with Drupal you can theme make everything even faster. Give it a try.
How to add a restriction or validation for a content type that can be add only one content.
ex - Hotel web site room listing page should have only one content. After added once that only can edit or delete.
(I am a beginner for the Drupal)
Have you checked Node Limit module? I have never used it, but seems suitable for what you want to get.
Hope it helps.
In Joomla I have the following situation:
I have an article (a page) that i declared in articles, the "products page". I did not enter any text or html in it.
I went to Module Manager and declared 3 modules (with text and html inside). The 3 modules are describing the 3 products that the company offers. Also I set the 3 modules to be placed in specific places (POSITIONS). I am using Gantry as a template, and the positions for the 3 modules are utility-a, utility-b and utility-c.
In each module, I chose the menu assignment, so that the modules will be shown in a specific page: the products page.
In MainMenu, I have a menu Item called "Products" that points to the empty article and is: index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2. Also in this menu item, I checked the Module Assignment, to see if the utility modules are shown and yes, they appear as "Display:yes"
NOW: When I access the "products page" from the main menu, the page shows up and contains the 3 utility modules, so everything is ok. But if I want to access this product page from a (manual)link (a href with the src above) inside a different page, then the product page shows up empty, like there is nothing on the page. I mean those utility modules do not show up. Only the empty article is shown.
How can I make the modules to show up?
Thank you
I solved it. I had to make a manual change to the link used as src. I had to add &Itemid=yyy at the end of the page link, and the yyy is the ID.
The useful documentation is here: http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_control_module_display_when_linking_to_an_article_with_no_menu_item
Thank you. Problem solved
I am beginning to be a little desperate here. I have following structure (Drupal 7):
I use taxonomy menu to build menu links,
The taxonomy_term default (page) view is used to override drupal's taxonomy/term/% path
In addition to it I use menu_block module (but I doubt that this is important). What I am trying to achieve:
I need to build node browser by category (taxonomy term) but it has exceptions - for example taxonomy term with id 850 (taxonomy/term/850) must have different content structure than other therms. Is it possible to override default views display with these exceptions? I tryied to create another display with this path but the result was "not found". I also thought on using blocks not page displays, yet this solutions does not seem to be the Drupal way to me.
I was facing the same problem while trying to have different display/structure for publications in contrast to normal articles.
What I did, created a separate view for that specific taxonomy such as taxonomy/term/850, and in the path in view I entered 'taxonomy/term/850' (in this case)
This caused it override taxonomy/term/%
and displayed it differently according to my need.
Can someone give me a suggestion on how to add another link to the "operations"-cell on admin/node?
I have written a module which copies a specific node and now i need in addition to the links "edit" and "delete" a "copy"-link.
Can´t find any useful hints in the Drupal API.
The solution is to download admin_menu module. It contains administration views (you also need to enable it in Modules), which changes default content grid to the custom view. You can then go to Views and modify the admin/content view as you want.
If by "admin/node" you actually mean "admin/content/node", I think you're looking for hook_node_operations().
