Adding SOPA blackout to a Drupal Gardens

Submitted by Jacob Singh on

If you want to blackout your site in protest of SOPA/PIPA, here's what you gotta do:

(hat tip to http://www.zachstronaut.com for the blackout page).

Important: Keep the url mysite.drupalgardens.com/admin/content handy. 

Once you follow these instructions, your site will go dark (if it is January 18th 2012).  If you want to get it back, you will need to delete the block later.

  1. Navigate to Structure -> Blocks
  2. Click on "Add Block"
  3. In the "Body" use the dropdown to change from "Safe HTML" to "Full HTML" (the buttons will go away)
  4. Make the block show by setting a region.
  5. Copy the following and paste it into the body:

 




<



div>



<script type="text/javascript">
    var a = new Date;
    if (18 == a.getDate() && 0 == a.getMonth() && 2012 == a.getFullYear()) {
        window.onload = function () {
            var cover = document.createElement('div');
            cover.style.position = 'fixed';
            cover.style.zIndex = 9999999;
            cover.style.width = window.innerWidth + 'px';
            cover.style.height = window.innerHeight + 'px';
            cover.style.top = 0;
            cover.style.backgroundColor = '#000';
            cover.innerHTML = '<iframe src="http://www.zachstronaut.com/lab/text-shadow-box/stop-sopa.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameBorder="0"></iframe>';
            document.body.appendChild(cover);
            window.onresize = function () {
                cover.style.width = window.innerWidth + 'px';
                cover.style.height = window.innerHeight + 'px';
            }
        }
    }

</script>

Blackout

                

  
      
  
  

    
 
It's not just about the tip bit (though i was following the directions and hit save before I snapped that I should have exempted the admin pages, so now I can't turn off the block and restore my site). 


I was hoping for CONSISTENCY of application - plain black is fine, but I was thinking if we all showed the "censored" label like what the FBI put on the Pirate Bay, or something, but adapted for Drupal Gardens, it would be really cool. Plus if you made it super easy for people to do it, they'd be more likely to participate in the blackout,which is good for everyone. 


In my case, I just flat out didn't have time to code something by the time I heard everyone was still doing the blackout (after Obama's speech I thought it might not happen), and since I'm on Gardens, and cant install any modules, I really just wanted them to install the Blackout module so we could use it if we wanted to. 


Of course ow I have to figure out how to turn this block off without access to any admin pages or to drush...

I just wanted to mention that I really thought the image and the animation and all for this was REALLY well-done, and that I am very thankful that Jacon was so cool to make this happen for all the denizens of DG - thank you so much, Jacob.


Also, thanks for tweeting me the fix (worked!) to my own stupidity :)


The protest in Manhattan today went very well, and the whole protest was a great success, IMHO. Thank you for helping us do our little part.


Warmest regards,
Kelly

The reason why we need the obd2 auto diagnostic tools is the need for curbing "mobile emissions". In tune with the need for global preservation, the EPA has been empowered to place firm emission standards. This has compelled the car manufacturers to bring in better non-polluting cars into the market. In turn, such strict measures for controlling emission levels have also helped to increase the functional life of the vehicle as well.

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated! // download premium wordpress themes
