In order to alter a menu item that is provided by a module/system, you can use hook_preprocess_menu__MENUNAME() (Since hook_menu_alter() no longer exists).

In my instance, I need to change the system provided 'Logout' link to read 'Log Out'. In order to do this I added the following to my THEMENAME.theme file:

I needed to redirect the user register form based on a role that the user wanted to apply for. To do this, I added a custom submit handler to the register form.

Everything was working well, then I decided I wanted to add a new field to the node and include that field in the view. After adding the field to the view, I decided against using it and deleted the field from the node (before removing it from the view). This, in turn, deleted the entire view, which cost me a days worth of work! I had not exported my configuration prior to adding this field, so I had no way of getting my view back without restoring my database from Time Machine.

Today I needed to add a custom textfield to the 'customer information' pane in Ubercart. After much searching, I wasn't able to find any modules that would allow this to happen, so I wrote my own.

I found this article, which gave me the starting block (as it was written for Drupal 6 I believe).

We had to install a new WordPress site onto an old MySQL server and received the following error on import:

In order to fix, we needed to change the collation of the sql file. To do this easily, we found the following snippet:

I needed to add a 'button' class to a file field link and ran into the following issue:
