  • Just fix all errors in the Java Compiler section below it.

Human Resource Management - Thinking beyond


Human Resources is actually Human Transformation!

When we think of traditional HR functions we typically think about hiring, firing, policies, training and rules/regulations. But in the future of work we need a shift in the role that HR plays in the organization. We need HR to not be like HR.

I know we cannot ignore the traditional HR duties, but I think those duties should make up a small percentage of time compared to how much time is spent on driving change in the organization.

That is what HR should be focusing on. It should be called Human Transformation instead of Human Resources. Why? Because their role should be centered on helping the organization grow, evolve and move forward. HR should be a part of the company, not because legally it has to be there, but because the organization wants and needs transformational growth.

DRUPAL 7 - DYNAMIC Option List


Webform is a great module in Drupal which help collecting user data. Recently i am working on a new website which needs a webform and one of the field is a selection list contains the node titles of a specific content type. I found a blog post about this dynamic select options feature in Drupal 6 by creating a custom module.
xebee – Drupal Webform : Add a dynamic select option list
Here is a similar approach for Drupal 7.

1. Create a new directory named as webform_options with the following 2 files inside.
webform_options.info
1
2
3
4
5
6
; $Id$
name = Webform options
description = Preset options for webform field
package = "Eureka"
core = 7.x
version = 7.x-1.0

webform_options.module

/**
 * Reference: http://xebee.xebia.in/2011/06/14/drupal-webform-add-a-dynamic-select-option-list/
 * The following piece of code is based on the blog post above written by Anubhav
 */
 
function webform_options_webform_select_options_info() {
  $items = array();
  if (function_exists('_get_node_titles')) {
    $items['node_titles'] = array(
      'title' => t('Node titles'),
      'options callback' => '_get_node_titles',
    );
  }
  return $items;
}
 
function _get_node_titles() {
  $options = array();
  $sql = "SELECT nid, title FROM {node}";
   
  $result = db_query($sql);
  foreach ($result as $row) {
    $options[$row->nid] = $row->title;
  }
  return $options;
}

2. Enable the module and add a new webform field.

 
3. In the webform field setting page, pick Node titles for Load a pre-built option list. In addition, check the Listbox checkbox under Display as we want to have a selection list instead of radio button.

 
4. Save the form and you now have selection list which contains all node titles. If you want limit the options to a specific content type, just modify the SQL in webform_options.module.

 
Done =)
