Directions Counselling

Yes please if you could make it go live (and) thank you so very much for the work you have done. I think the site is lovely!! I knew I could rely on you to come up with something really good.

I should just echo Chris’s sentiments. (It has been great having your help these last few years). Thanks for all the help and if you ever need a reference for a client I’d be more than happy to take a call.

Replace tabs with commas in a file on Apple Mac

The below will globally replace all tabs with commas in the file named file.csv.

perl -pi.old -e 's{\t+}{,}g' file.csv

This is useful when you want to open a tab delimited file within Apple Mac Numbers as it doesn't recognise tabs.

Note:

When using this method the encasing <div class="container-inline"> is removed causing the imput box and the submit button not to be inline - the submit button appears below the input box and not to the right.

Search box in page tpl php

<?php endif; ?>

Block Search Form Submit Button and Input Box

The two blocks below are examples of the drupal search box. The first is the stanadard wereas the second has been overriden via the template.php file using the theme function and returning the output from drupal_render() function. The point to note is that the second omits the <div class="container-inline"> which results in the submit button being below the input box.

Why and when set-up 301 redirects

301 redirects are set-up to ensure existing links, such as those held by Google and other search engines, continue to take the user to an appropriate page even though the actual page (and URL) has been removed.
