/** * Implements hook_editor_js_settings_alter(). * * {@inheritdoc} */ function MODULE_editor_js_settings_alter(array &$settings) { foreach ($settings['editor']['formats'] as $name => $value) { // Use <br> instead of <p> on enter. // See: https://docs.ckeditor.com/ckeditor4/latest/api/CKEDITOR.html#property-ENTER_BR. // CKEditor natively converts double <br> into <p> on rendering. $settings['editor']['formats'][$name]['editorSettings']['enterMode'] = '2'; } } |

[Drupal] Make the Search API Page search block appear in Bootstrap markup
When using Search API Page, I needed to theme the search form in the bootstrap structure. The cleanest answer I have found is to add some variables to trigger the bootstrap overrides on the search form.

/** * Implements hook_form_FORM_ID_alter(). */ function MYMODULE_form_search_api_page_block_form_alter(&$form, FormStateInterface $form_state, $form_id) { // We need this to make our search_api_page_block_form rendered in the bootstrap fashion // This code was inspired by \Drupal\bootstrap\Plugin\Form\SearchBlockForm $form['actions']['submit']['#icon_only'] = true; $form['keys']['#input_group_button'] = true; } |

Replace image URLs in WordPress posts from http to https
I just switched my website to https for testing purpose. But changing the website’s URL to https:// is not sufficient to enable a fully secure browsing experience, as images in posts are still loaded from http://. Or more precisely, most modern browsers (FF or Opera for instance) are now clever enough to guess that the […]

public function controllerCallbackExample() { return [ '#type' => 'table', '#caption' => 'This is a caption. Use a translated string here.', '#header' => [ 'Header 1', 'Header 2', 'Header 3', 'Header 4' ], '#rows' => [ [ 'Row 1 Cell 1', 'Row 1 Cell 2', 'Row 1 Cell 3', ['data' => 'Row 1 Cell 4'] ], [ 'class' => ['second-row-class', 'may contain spaces but dont use them'], 'data' => [ 'Row 2 Cell 1', [ 'data' => 'Row 2 Cell 2' ], [ 'colspan' => 2, 'data' => 'Row 3 Cell 3 & 4', 'style' => 'background-color: pink; text-align: center' ] ], 'style' => 'font-weight: bold' ], [ 'data' => [ 'Row 3 Cell 1', 'Row 3 Cell 2', 'Row 3 Cell 3', 'Row 3 Cell 4' ], 'no_striping' => FALSE // Not working in 8.2.x, may be fixed later ] ], '#footer' => [ [ 'data' => [ 'Footer 1', [ 'colspan' => 2, 'data' => 'Footer 2 with colspan = 2', 'style' => 'text-align: inherit' ], [ 'data' => 'Footer 4', 'style' => 'text-align: inherit' ] ], 'style' => 'text-align: center' ], [ [ 'colspan' => 4, 'class' => 'second-footer-row', 'data' => 'Another Footer Line', 'style' => ['background-color: purple;', 'text-align: center;', 'color: white;'] ] ] ] ]; } |
Additional Information Tested to work on Drupal 8.2.x. For some reason, no_striping doesn’t work as expected in 8.2.x (it is ignored). The script which handles the render array conversion to twig ready variables is located here: core\includes\theme.inc. The twig template which renders the table on the default theme is here: core\themes\classy\templates\dataset\table.html.twig.
