Check for Login Status in Javascript for Drupal

Submitted by enzo on Tue, 11/16/2010 - 10:21

Hello folks.

By default in Drupal 6 you don't have the option to check the login status in JavaScript, if you need this functionality include in your template file i.e page.tpl.php the following code:
 

<?php
global $user;
echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
echo 'var logged_in = ' . ($user->uid)?'true':'false';
echo '</script>';
?>


Now you can use in your JavaScripts the variable logged_in to check user login status

Drupal How to alter Views Query (SQL)

Submitted by enzo on Wed, 09/29/2010 - 16:36

If you are a Drupal Developer using the Views module, is probable you want the option to rewrite the SQL query executed for this module.

Maybe because you think it's easier this way or maybe because you can't do complex stuff like grouping elements, or an argument taxonomy negation or something similar.

No matter the reason why you need to change the query, now you can do this using the module  Views modify query.
