change Views title by programmatically in drupal

May 4, 2013 - 11:26am — shubham

In some cases, we need to modify the title of the page, created by the views. We can implement the same using hook_views_pre_render in a custom module. 

function mymodule_views_pre_render(&$view) {
  if ($view->name == 'myview' && $view->current_display == 'mydisplay') {
    $title = 'Title';
    // Your code to set $title here
    drupal_set_title($title);
  }
}

Context is an alternative to drupal's default block system. It allows site administrater to manage contextaul conditions and reactions for different portion of the site. You can think each context as representing a “section” of your site. For each context, you can choose different conditions and reactions.

Many sites are using the context module rather than drupal's default block system. In this tutorial, we are going to show you how context works when block is visible on only one page.

Importance of Static Keyword in Java

Static means one per class, not one for each object no matter how many instance of a class might exist. This means that you can use them without creating an instance of a class.Static methods are implicitly final, because overriding is done based on the type of the object, and static methods are attached to a class, not an object.
