Display view inside a view

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Drupal 6 replaces the views_build_view by views_embed_view, which make sense at least by the name of function.

$viewName = 'MYVIEWNAME';
print views_embed_view($viewName);

The views_embed_view has 2 default arguments. The second argument allows you to enter the display_id of the view (example: default, page, block, etc). Any additional argument you specify will be passed to the views argument handler. For instance, if you wanted to embed the block view and pass it a list of nodeIDs as an argument.

$viewName = 'MYVIEWNAME';
$display_id = 'block';
$myNodes = array(1, 2, 3);
print views_embed_view($viewName, $display_id, $myNodes);

Automatically provide TinyURL for your links

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Ever wonder how some sites provide tiny web addresses for your links. Its easy as like eating ice cream.

Create a global public function

function getTinyUrl($url) {
$tinyurl = file_get_contents("http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=".$url);
return $tinyurl;
}

Usage example

$url = 'http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=pace+solutions&btnG=Search';
$turl = getTinyUrl(get_permalink($url));
echo 'TinyURL for link is: <a href="'.$turl.'">'.$turl.'</a>';

Output:
TinyURL for link is: http://tinyurl.com/atqflt
