Tabs Module Patch: Enable Validation Form per Tab Panel in Navigation

Submitted by enzo on Wed, 03/23/2011 - 09:42

Hello folks

I made a new feature to the form trigger to enable a validation per panel before the next or previous action gets executed.

If a required field is blank, the field is highlighted as error.

This feature has a flag in admin tabs to enable or disable the JS validation.

Currently this patch only validates inputs and selects controls.

You can follow the issue request to include on the next version at : http://drupal.org/node/1102904

Enjoy IT.

Error importing CCK definition with Page Title

Submitted by enzo on Tue, 03/15/2011 - 16:48

Hello folks

Today I was trying to export a CCK and import it to another Drupal Installation, but I was getting a freaking error "An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator".

Guess what, I'm the administrator :P

After debugging the import process I realized the fail is because by default all content types in a Drupal Installation with module Page Title enabled, have the option "Show field" unchecked. if this option is unchecked the export process for CCK generates a code like this:
