Panic Coda Drupal snippets (clips)

I've been using Panic's Coda as my default editor/IDE for some time now. I've already shared the Drupal plugin I wrote on this blog. But one of the other tricks Coda allows me to do is snippet management using its Clips feature. There's quite a few Coda clips available on the net. Here I am sharing the Clips I use the most during Drupal development and theming.

Download the package and develop faster yourself. There's something for everyone in it...

Some general usage snippets

• Create a module.info skeleton.
• Set the active menu item. Kind of what Menu Trails module does.
• Show all regions on 404 "page not found" errors.
• Delete all nodes.
• CCK imagefield import script.
• Submit and validation handler.
• drupal_add_css
• Get breadcrumb from active menu. Kind of what Menu Breadcrumb module does.

Drupal hooks

Of course I have some snippets for the most used Drupal hooks. All of these have a tab trigger. For example hook_perm can be inserted by typing hook_perm and pressing TAB.

In the package are hook_perm, hook_menu_alter, hook_init, hook_nodeapi, hook_menu, hook_cron, hook_boot, hook_flush_caches, hook_form_alter, hook_block, hook_theme, …

Drupal fields

These are probably the ones I use most often. Snippets for these elements: hidden field, textfield, submit button and select field.

Some jQuery

• Open links in external window.
• Open pdf in new window.
• Clear default values. Small plugin to clear default values from form fields when someone clicks them to start entering text.
• $(document.ready)
• Sticky footer.
• Views row links hover. When you hover over a link in a .views-row the surround .views-row diff gets "active" too.

PHP snippets

• Function to generate a slug.
• print_r : Just type print_r and hit TAB to get a formatted print_r : print "
  

  ".print_r(, TRUE)."

  ";

  . Perfect for quick debugging.
• switch control statement.
• Curl request

CSS snippets

• A modified version of the clearfix snippet that works in all browsers.
• Meyer CSS reset

Other

The obligatory "Lorem ipsum" snippet. Just type lorem and hit TAB and get a lorem ipsum snippet.
