How to Change DNS from MYNIC and Get Server Code

How to Change DNS from MYNIC and Get Server Code
  1. Remember Login as technical username, else you cannot notice section of Modify DNS. Admin and technical will have difference CODE to login.
  2. After Login -> go to Domain Name -> Modify Domain Name 
  3. Search for your Domain -> Check the box -> Click Modify
  4. Then you will see the section of Modify Name Servers
  5. After check on Modify Name Servers option radio button, you will see the following list
  6. Now we come to most confusing part, the Server Code is auto generated by the system. But first of all you have to click on "+" button --> enter host name and IPV4 ip --> Click Create button --> System will prompt Error message but it actually showing you the server code number. 
  7. Copy one of the highlighted code and paste into Server Code text box from previous page. Then Click Close button.
  8. Do the same action for Secondary Name Server.
  9. Click Modify button when you finish filling the info. That's all.
  10. Changes of DNS only be activated after 24 hours, then only proceed to your own hosting to do domain addon or domain parking.

How to Create Block Programmatically in Drupal 7

How to Create Block Programmatically in Drupal 7:

I try to create with block with update hook but failed. So have to check out with another method which is hook_block. We need to use the following hook:

  • hook_block_info : To define custom block and display block at administration page
  • hook_block_configure : To define custom block configuration block (e.g. title, body, text format)
  • hook_block_save : To save configuration option from hook_block_configure()
  • hook_block_view : To build the contents of the block, can include functionality code

The following link explain how to use the hook
References: http://fourkitchens.com/blog/2012/07/18/building-custom-blocks-drupal-7

The following is the sample how to set text format:

function MODULE_block_configure($delta=''){
  $form = array();

  switch ($delta) {

    case 'blockname':
      # Text field form element
    $form['text_body'] = array(
      '#type' => 'text_format',
      '#title' => t('Enter your html code'),
      '#default_value' => variable_get('text_variable',''),
      '#format' => 'full_html',
      );
      break;
  }
  return $form;
}

Here is the references link: http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!system!system.api.php/function/hook_xmlrpc/7

But you may read my finding too. :)

Step 1:
Add the piece of code in sites\yourproject\modules\custom\yourmodule

function yourmodule_xmlrpc() {
  return array(
    'yourmethodName' => 'yourfunctionName',
    array(
      'yourmethodName',      'yourfunctionName',      array(  // The element might be diff and it base on application call back and answer
        'boolean',  //The first element of this array is the type of return value 
        'string',   //You can do just answer or more elements
        'string',
        'string',
        'string',
        'string',
      ),
      t('Handling ping request'),
    ),
  );
}

Step 2:
Add the piece of code in sites\yourproject\modules\custom\yourmodule
// Assume you need to save parameter4 which is array into node table
function yourfunctionName($parameter1, $parameter2, $parameter3, $parameter4) {        
      foreach($parameter4 as $arr){
            $node = new stdClass();
            $node->type ='contenttypename';
            $node->uid = 1;
            $node->title = $arr['title'];
            $node->status;
            $node->body[$node->language][0]['format'] = 'full_html';
            $node->body[$node->language][0]['summary'] = text_summary($arr['body']);
            $node->body[$node->language][0]['value']   = $arr['body'];
            if($node = node_submit($node)){
                 node_save($node);
           }
       }
      $answer = array('code', 'record saved');
