Here is a quick way to determine if a user has a specific role
<?php
// Bring the user object into scope.
global $user;
// Check to see if $user has the administrator user role.
if (in_array('administrator', array_values($user->roles))) {
// Do something.
}
?>
When creating your own Drupal module, you may need to add some styling or Javascript to improve the usability of your module. Here is how to do it.
drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'MODULE_NAME') . '/common.js');
Similarly you can add CSS to your module as well
drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'MODULE_NAME') . '/styles.css');
One popular use of this hook is to change the destination of a form submission. Here is how it is accomplished:
<?php
function YOURMODULE_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {
switch ($form['#id']) {
case 'node-form':
if ($form['type']['#value'] == 'story') {
$form['#redirect'] = 'new/url';
}
break;
}
}
?>

<?php endwhile;
}
?>
