Tasks
-
Make a module for overwriting variables. The module should have adminstrative interface where you can add as many variables names as you want with their respective new values. The module should be working no matter what cache setting is put on the site. Not that the idea of this module is _not_ to change the actual value of specific variable, BUT to make variable_get to return the new value instead of the real one.
Example: If we add in the module the variable site_name with value Foo, then Foo should be used no matter what is actually set for the site name in the site settings.
- Default behaviour of Drupal is that if in admin/user/settings the checkbox "Require e-mail verification when a visitor creates an account" is clicked then Drupal autogenerates password for you at registration. Make a module that makes it possible that you have the password fields on user registration form despite that this checkbox is clicked.
- Create module that allows copy of content type with all its current settings.
- Make it possible so in view of a node the comments are separated from $content and are situated in a separate variable. The complexity of the tasks comes with the requirement that the core of Drupal should _not_ be changed!
- Create a custom registration module wich makes registration in 3 steps:
- Step 1: You write your First Name (Required), Last Name (Required), Email (Required), Birthdate (Required), Sex (Required), Education
- Step 2: You upload a picture of yourself (Required), upload CV (Required and can be .doc, .docx, .pdf only) + have textarea to write some notes for yourself
- Step 3: Preview of what is entered in step 1 and 2 and Submit button. The profile is created when the 3rd step is submited.
Important!!! The tasks should be done using Drupal 6 and the core files should not be changed.
** For those who find this task easy :) they can add a google map at step 2 so the user can pin-point his location.
