Untuk anak² ku dan semua

munmon3 Comments

Abie berasa sungguh bertuah kerana sentiasa dikejutkan dari tidur untuk menunaikan kewajiban. Samada Sara atau Adam yang merengek di pagi hari untuk susu atau pun berasa tidak selesa kerana berak. Kalau dahulu kala, sebelum ada anak, mana ada rasa nak bangun pagi. Tolong sikit, tidur itu lagi enak. Pedulikan dosa, nanti boleh Qada. Sungguh tidak senonoh ketika itu dan sungguh ignorant pada masa itu.

Tiada kenal apa itu tanggungjawab pada Tuhan mahupun diri sendiri. Kadang² Tuhan itu memberi hidayahnya didalam cara yang paling pelik dan tidak masuk akal. Hanya yang menerima hidayah yang pelik² ini akan paham akan ertinya.

Dengarkan ini anak²ku. Ibu dan Ayahmu sentiasa bersusah-payah untuk kamu, terutamanya ibu kamu yang selalu tak cukup tidur kerana kamu semua. Abie rilek je, penuh kesabaran, tahan je telinga. Iyalah, kalau abie bangun pun, bukannya ada nenen nak kasi hisap. Oleh itu, biarlah Ibu kamu yang bangun (hahaha) – melainkan ada panggilan dari ibu kamu, tentang transformasi untuk lampin ke atau sebagainya. Pendek kata, dari sepuluh kejadian tengah malam atau pagi² buta, kamu semua menangis, hanya 1 atau 3 sahaja Abie yang bersusah payah. Oleh itu, berbanggalah dengan Mamie kamu semua.

Suka untuk Abie mengambil ayat dari Al-Quran yang Abie ingat ketika Tingkatan 4 dahulu:

Dan artinya:

Dan Kami wajibkan manusia berbuat baik kepada kedua ibu bapanya; ibunya telah mengandungnya dengan menanggung kelemahan demi kelemahan (dari awal mengandung hingga akhir menyusunya), dan tempoh menceraikan susunya ialah dalam masa dua tahun; (dengan yang demikian) bersyukurlah kepadaKu dan kepada kedua ibubapamu; dan (ingatlah), kepada Akulah jua tempat kembali (untuk menerima balasan).

Oleh itu, hormatilah abie dan mamie terutamanya mamie kamu dan jangan sesekali menderhaka. Dan juga diingatkan bahawa jangan sesekali cuba untuk mendaftarkan diri di dalam mana² pertandingan realiti show seperti Akademi Fantasia melainkan rancangan² yang berprestij dan tidak ada unsur² maksiat. Abie tabuh kamu semua kalau masuk Akademi Fantasia.

Jangan sesekali warnakan rambut kamu ala² orang putih kerana kamu semua adalah darah kacukan Keling, Melayu dan Jawa. Tidak ada kaler perang atau pun merah di dalam gen kita. Abie akan botakkan kepala kamu semua nanti.

Jangan sesekali bermain World of Warcraft dan seumpamanya kerana kesannya amatlah buruk – belajar dari kesilapan Abie. Tanya mamie, apa Abie buat kalau main World of Warcraft.

Itulah sahaja pada ketika ini, Abie akan maintain domain in sehingglah kamu cukup dewasa untuk membaca dan memahami artikel ini.

Cerebral palsy is not a hindrance: The Case of Tom Rogers

munmon2 Comments

Good Morning

Today, while looking for Drupal Resources some tutorials on theming search result, I come across a video posted by Tom Rogers, an English Boy who is affected by a condition known as cerebral palsy. Though not a disease itself, it is a condition which causes physical disability in human development, chiefly in the various areas of body movement.

Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the motor control centres of the developing brain and can occur during pregnancy, during childbirth or after birth up to about age three. Resulting limits in movement and posture cause activity limitation and are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, depth perception and other sight-based perceptual problems, communication ability, and sometimes even cognition; sometimes a form of CP may be accompanied by epilepsy. CP, no matter what the type, is often accompanied by secondary musculoskeletal problems that arise as a result of the underlying etiology. Source: Wikipedia

So to speak… CP is not a hindrance to learn, to be excellent, to be great or to be helpful. Most of the time, it is us (not them), who makes them to feel like unwanted and unaccepted. I am impressed to see this boy teaches the world how to drupal via video in youtube. Oh yeah, he also has his own channel at youtube.

All these years, serving as Librarian at Open Uni. Malaysia, I have met many people with physical disadvantage. None of them has shown any signs of defeats or setbacks. Instead, they have this kind of always want to win spirit – sort of I can to this attitude.

So ask yourself whenever you feel like losing or failing – If Boy like Tom can teach the world about something, why can’t you?

Load User Profile Items in Node : Drupal

munmonLeave a comment

Drupal is so robust that you can do almost anything. However, they will be a time when you will have to do some programming to achieve your goal. For instance, loading user profile into node. In general to load author’s profile item into node. By default, node saves only author’s username into every post. Sometimes, you will want to display author’s Full Name instead of username. It does make better sense, doesn’t it?

Here goes… in node.tpl.php or any custom node.tpl.php, insert this code:

$node_author->uid = $node->uid;
profile_load_profile($node_author);

This function will call upon the profile items of the author and then load it up for your perusal. You can then call any fields of the profile items to be displayed in your nodes. For example, you may want to load the Full Name and Work Designation of the author in your node. As shown here:

print t('<span class="date_post">Posted on ') . 
format_date($node->created, 'custom', "d F Y") . ' by ' . ucwords(strtolower($node_author->profile_name)) . ' ' .
'(' . ucwords(strtolower($node_author->profile_designation)) . ')' .
'</span>';

As you can see here, instead of calling node->name which is the username and the only available information of the author by default, you can now call any profile items of the author. The profile_load_profile function has loaded the author’s information and you may call any of the profile items available.

Before using the profile_load_profile to call author’s profile item

 [img_assist|nid=1074|title=|desc=|link=node|align=none|width=400|height=214]

After loading author’s profile items into node usng profile_load_profile

[img_assist|nid=1073|title=|desc=|link=node|align=none|width=400|height=194]
