The new Entity Rules module for Drupal provides a new way to associate Rule components with events for different entities such as users, nodes and taxonomy terms.  This allows users who do not have access to the Rules UI to still configure when the Rule components are triggered for the Entity types that they can administer.  It also allows this user to specify values for the parameters that are sent to these Rules components.

One of the most common questions relating to Entityforms is how to embed them on a node.  This short video walks you through the steps.

Modules you will need

Openfolio is the first of Six Mile Tech's Learning Distibutions™ . OpenFolio™ is a distribution that serves two purposes. On one level it is super simple visual artist portfolio site that allows uploading of images and organizing them into galleries. Openfolio is also meant to used as a learning tool. It contains almost no custom code aside from it's install profile. It is built to be understandable by beginning and intermediate Drupal site builders. Openfolio can help you learn Drupal site building by example.

Ever wonder how to find the entity_id of any enity in Drupal 7.  Of course for most common entity types it is very simple. $node->nid for nodes, $user->uid for users, etc. But what if you want to simplify your code to avoid code like this:

switch($entity_type){

 case 'node':

    $entity_id = $entity->nid; 

  case 'user': 

    $entity_id = $entity->user;

   .... 

}

I recently ported my old module Password Require, which allows password protecting any form in Drupal, to Drupal 7.  This module was originally created for my presentation at the Florida Drupal Camp in 2010, as an introduction to module development.
