Drupal 6 JavaScript and jQuery

Book Description

This book fills the gap between Drupal 6 modules and theming by showing you how to make use of JavaScript and jQuery to join up server-side modules with your front-end designs. This book is for web designers and developers who want to add JavaScript elements to Drupal themes or modules to create more flexible and responsive user interfaces. You are expected to know about the basic operation of Drupal, and be familiar with the concept of theming and modules in Drupal. No experience of creating themes or modules is required. You will need to know the basics of client-side web development; this means HTML, CSS, but also have a rudimentary grasp of the syntax of JavaScript. Familiarity with PHP programming will be an advantage, since we will be writing PHPTemplate files and (at the end) creating Drupal modules. However, the PHP is covered thoroughly enough that even the PHP neophyte will not find the text too demanding. The book also covers the jQuery JavaScript library and its use in Drupal, but no knowledge of jQuery is expected – you will learn everything you need in this book.

书名：Drupal 6脚本和jQuery

这本书填补了Drupal6模块和主题化之间的空白，向您展示了如何利用JavaScript和jQuery将服务器端模块与您的前端设计结合起来。这本书是为想要在Drupal主题或模块中添加JavaScript元素以创建更灵活、更具响应性的用户界面的Web设计人员和开发人员编写的。您需要了解Drupal的基本操作，并熟悉Drupal中的主题化和模块的概念。不需要创建主题或模块的经验。您将需要了解客户端Web开发的基础知识；这意味着要了解HTML、CSS，同时还需要对JavaScript的语法有一个基本的了解。熟悉PHP编程将是一个优势，因为我们将编写PHPTemplate文件并(最后)创建Drupal模块。但是，对PHP的介绍已经足够透彻，即使是初学者也不会觉得文本要求太高。本书还介绍了jQuery JavaScript库及其在Drupal中的使用，但不需要了解jQuery，您将在本书中了解到您所需要的一切。
