Tutorials on implementing Drupal Pageear to ordinary XHTML page.
Somebody ask me if they can implement the GPL Pageear module of Drupal CMS to an ordinary XHMTL pages.
The answer is yes and it was very easy to used in ordinary html page. The implementation is quite easy, actually I already first implement it on one of the site I created that doesn't use Drupal CMS.
Take a look at http://dlsu-cad.co.cc on the top left is the pageear, the site is just an ordinary XHTML page.
So how can I use it?
Here it is:
- Download the example file
- Copy all the files needed to your website folder - All file inside the js folder and all the file inside the media folder
- Attached the 2 javascript file to you html pages - check the example page.
- Adjust the configuration in the javascript file (pageTurn.js)
- Create your two images, big.jpg and small.jpg and drop it to your website images folder
- Upload all the changes and files in your server
- Enjoy....
A simple PHP function to remove duplicate UTF-8 meta tag for Drupal Generated Page.
I was converting an existing XHTML page to Drupal CMS themes when I noticed that there was a duplicate output for UTF-8 meta tag that was generated by Drupal. This was not a big issue but for me it was so ugly and I don't want this meta duplication. At first I thought of it as a bug but when I search for this duplicate UTF-8 meta tag seem's it was intentionaly inserted by Drupal developer for security reasons and for the sake of all un-updated Drupal themes.
Here's what the ugly generated UTF-8 code look like in my XHTML page:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/misc/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

A simple person but now being addicted on the web, I develop and design website(s) for Company, Enterprise or anyone wishes to have a site, below are list of my creation.
