Usual redirecting wont work if modal is opened. So to do that you need some custom code like this will work for redirecting after loging in.

To load just plain moda form and add some contetn to it. Do this

  $(document).ready(function() {
Drupal.CTools.Modal.show();
$('#modal-title').html('put title here');
$('#modal-content').html('put content here');
  });

and modal will open.

This is my first solution in series of solutions for automatic loading of modal forms. If you have a link on some page that you want to load on page load. You need to first create JS that would make that and then find a way to add that JS to specific pages. So first JS

In the previous post I wrote about the way to create custom modal form sizes. This time I will add a class to each window, so you can also theme them totally.

Facets work fine and by design they narrow down the search results with each facet option you click. But what happens when you want to make them work differently. Some of that can be achived with changing opearator to OR in facet settings. But in this case with search api location module this doesn't work, not sure is it a bug or by design but I solved that with creating my own facet block.

Currently if you use SOLR for search and deploy it with search API module you can index Title field as fulltext so you can make better use of it and find parts of it when searching. But then you can't sort by title in search api sorts module, what to do? Well use

I'll try to make this quick. Installing xdebug for drupal is the same as installing it for anything else like wordpress etc
