How to update "changed" date for all nodes in Drupal 7 - the fastest way

I hate this template!

One more thing. I really hate this website theme (TB Sirate). It's such a pain in the a$$! I'm so keen to migrate the entire website completely to a more user friendly Drupal 8!

Yeah, I said it!

PS: Does this make me a hater?

Drupal 8, a love - hate relationship

Drupal 8

I just started to get my hands dirty with Drupal 8, after almost 3 years of Drupal 7. 

Whoa! I was shocked at first impression. Every f*** thing is bloody different. It's like learning Drupal again and again. The shock from D6 to D7 wasn't that big though I hated Drupal when I first saw it.

"No available releases found" - Drupal error fix

No available releases found Drupal 7 error

Just figured out how to fix the "No available releases found" in Drupal 7.5x. It's that error on the updates page where all or almost all modules are grayed out with an exclamation mark.

After reading countless posts related to this error, I finally found a solution.

Cloudflare on Drupal 7 - some thoughts

As you know, spam is a pain in the arse and you would do almost anything to stop it. I've read on some blog that Cloudflare service helps stopping spam. Great, I said! I will also benefit from their CDN service, all in one package!

Yeah, right!

Drupal throws 404 error after sharing a link on Facebook [Solved]

I had a strange error today. Lukily, a friend of mine warned me about it. I could hardly be aware of it without his help. (Thanks, Iosif!) So...

Why does Drupal 7 throws 404 error (Page not found)?

There could be plenty of reasons, but I guess the reason here is a bit stranger. All urls looked absolutely normal to me. I am using Pathauto with clean urls on. So why only SOME users get the page not found error? While looking at access logs, it seemed absolutely random to me. Of course, I had no 301 or 302 redirection component in case of errors.

I also didn't display a nice and friendly page for 404 errors (I thought I hadn't any). Pretty ignorant, huh? Visitors were discouraged and left away without even bothering to use the search box.

Fix for "Fatal error: Call to undefined function drupal_check_memory_limit()"

After a Drupal upgrade, I got this: Fatal error: Call to undefined function drupal_check_memory_limit() in full_path/modules/system/system.install on line 206.

This is mainly because the update was incomplete. You should update includes directory as well, after updating the core module files.

Disable Spell Checker in CKeditor 3.3.1 (Drupal)

CKeditor interface

Have you ever wanted to completely disable spell check function in CKeditor?

Well, after searching few hours for a solution, I ended up modifying the main plugin file, ckeditor.js, located in the CKeditor root folder (in my case, sites/all/libraries/ckeditor).

By default, this file is minified. If you try to beautify it, it might not work at all, so leave it minified.

Now, look after this string:
