Default category in tt_news - typo3

Is there a way to set a default category for tt_news, in such a way that a user don't need to explicitly assign the category when creating a news?

You can set it with PageTS:
TCAdefaults.tt_news.category = 123
Make sure that editing user (if is not a admin) has proper rights to edit category field, otherwise the default category won't be saved.

Difference between UserProperties.Add and UserProperties.Set functionality in FlurrySDK

I'm using Flurry Analytics in my Unity game and I want to use Flurry UserProperties.
My question is about the difference between the functionality of UserProperties.Add and UserProperties.Set methods in FlurrySDK.
In the documents there is following description :
Set :
Sets and replaces (if any exist) the value(s) for the property.
Add :
Adds a User Property value(s). Adding values already included in the state has no effect and does not error.
Can I just use Flurry.UserProperties.Add whenever I need to set/add an UserProperty for a user and ignore Flurry.UserProperties.Set?
or I need to first define every property with Flurry.UserProperties.Add to be added in Flurry's panel and then use Flurry.UserProperties.Set to set them for a specific user?
Add adds to existing values, while Set removes existing values and then adds the new one
To create your custom User.property you do it in the Admin Panel of Flurry.
Set, clean your property and set with your last value you send.
Add , preserve the old values and add a new value to your property.

How to replace the user/contact form in Sulu?

I want to know how to change/replace the user/contact form in Sulu i.e. https://sulu.rocks/admin/#/contacts/1/details.
I want to remove the fields for Addresses, Bank accounts, etc.
I tried to copy the vendor/sulu/sulu/src/Sulu/Bundle/ContactBundle/Resources/config/forms/account_details.xml into config/forms and removed the unnecessary fields. But that not working.
I can't find something to this in the documentation or it's hidden :D
If you add a form with the exact same key as the form you want to override, the contents of both forms are merged. In your case, the key would be contact_details. Now you can add completely new properties to the form or override existing ones by just creating a property with the same name. If you want to hide a property, you have to override it and set visibleCondition="false".

Drupal 7 - Hide certain form fields of a content edit form depending on the content data

In Drupal 7, is there a way to change the standard edit form for a content type based on a certain content?
For example:
I have a content type with a checkbox...once it it checked and the form is saved, I do not want this checkbox to be visible anymore...therefore based on the checkboxes value in the Database I want to hide form fields when showing the form.
I am building a small specific project site, where a company wants to add projects, and their customers are supposed to follow certain steps (upload some content, provide information etc.), and also should be able to check off certain requirements, and once these are checked off, they should not be visible/editable to them.
Also the displayed form fields should depend on an user's role, and then FURTHER be limited depending on the content's database entries.
Is there a module, which could achieve this behaviour? "rules" and "field/permissions" come close to what I need, but are not sufficient. Or did I just miss the option to change a form field's accessibility based on conditions?
What I need is some place to define a logic like "IF (VALUEOF(CHECKBOX_1) == TRUE) THEN DO_NOT_SHOW(CHECKBOX_1)"
hook_form_alter is the way to do this, as explained by Mihaela, but what options do you have inside that function?
If you want just to disable field (it will be visible, but user can't change it) you can do it like this:
$form['field_myfield']['#disabled'] = TRUE;
And if you want it to be hidden, but to keep value it has before editing the way to do that is:
$form['field_myfield']['#access'] = FALSE;
I.e. hiding it (somewhere I saw someone suggesting that):
hide($form['field_myfield']);
really hides the field, but after that, when form is saved this field has empty value, validation fails, etc, so that's not a good way to do this. Hiding makes sense only if you want to print separately that field later, at some other place.
function your_module_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id){
switch($form_id) {
case 'nameOfTheNode_node_form':
//your code here. check the value from from_state.
break;
}
}
In this case, I use module Conditional Fields https://www.drupal.org/project/conditional_fields
For example: If my Dependees field has a value, Dependent field can be visible/invisible, enabled/disabled, required/optional, checked/unchecked

Hide image field completely in drupal 7 module

I'm trying to setup a form where some fields needs to be hidden depending on the user role. I'm doing this in my own module using hook_form_FORM_ID_alter. No problem with common text, email or link fields (e.g. $form['field_companyname']['und'][0]['value']['#type']='hidden'). But for an image field or a multiple value file field the usual way won't work.
Anybody can give me a clue?
I think your going about this the wrong way. Since your limitation is based on roles you can just use the permissions system. Check out field permissions module.
I recommend you to use #access for the element instead of just hiding the field.
For field company name it will go like this:
$form['field_companyname']['#access'] = FALSE;

How to override default user profile fields in drupal 7 ising form API?

I'd like to know how to override/change the default fields in user profile such as: button Save, name, timezone etc.
I'd like to alter, delete('cause i don't need them) some of them.
To alter the user profile i use the hook: hook_form_alter using which i managed to add my own fieldds to user profile. But now i want to alter the default fields. How can i do it?
It is possible with the hook_form_alter, though it is better to use hook_form_FORM_ID_alter!
To be able to alter the form you need to know the structure of the arrays, the easiest way to get to know this is by installing the Devel module. Then you can view the structure by placing dpm($form); inside your alter function.
You can use this function on your custom module or in your theme (in template.php file).
Usually user profile form_id is user_profile_form. A simple example would be:
function mymodule_form_user_profile_form_alter(&$form,$form_state,$form_id){
$form['timezone']['#access'] = FALSE; //remove the "timezone" field from the form (default value is still saved)
$form['field_somefield']['#weight'] = -50; //move the field up
$form['actions']['submit']['#value'] = t('Add this content now'); //change the submit button text
}
For a good tutorial see the Lullabot tutorial here (is for drupal 6 but works the same way for d7!).
