Handling files with Drupal (CSV import)

Drupal allows pretty smooth file management API for developers.. Here is a small piece of code in which I tried to take CSVs as input, process them to get the data and insert the values into the database..

Create a menu item for your file upload form

Define the callback for the menu item and make sure to set the form encoding

Make sure that the file imported is of CSV type (check the mime type of the file uploaded)

And finally get data from the csv And TA-DA :-)

Use entity reference in your custom entities (without bundles)

Entities are a big boon to Drupal, just that the learning curve is a bit longer than CCKs and nodes. I've read a lot about how these entities work but the more I read, the more complex they sound. Here are small snippets of code that I would like to share to allow you to create an entity reference field with your custom entities.

Lets create a scenario we have 2 entities: "employee" and "company". And we want the entity reference field to be used with our "employee" entity to refer the "company". I use Entity API module to create my custom entities. As it is clear by the name of the entities, we do not need any bundles for them. We can use hook_entity_info to define our entities and use the controller class from EntityAPI. Here is how we do that:

Picture - The Saviour

Now a days, while developing any website we need to cater multi resolution screens such as wide monitors, tv, laptops of different screen sizes, mobiles i.e. ranging from 320px to 8000px. While creating designs, we need to make sure that website UX should be great and optimized as well i.e. we cannot afford a slow website on any device or screen size.

Problem

We need to create a media-rich website that has a lot of high-resolution creatives. Now as this site is media-rich, our major requirement is that images must not get distorted and at the same time do not take a lot of time on small screens i.e. render fast enough.

Solution

Simple enough? Can be done in multiple ways, right.

Let’s start the old traditional way.
