Both Drupal core and contributed projects continue to improve the software with bug fixes and security updates. In this chapter we look at using the core Update Manager, and explain how to read the various reports about our site's status. Before we walk through the process up updating a contributed module, as well as our version of Drupal core, we also make sure we do a backup. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/8yCB6lwD_6jPxxI8doK1pSH9TctNpPLoYvYBwlJVdZ4.jpg.jpg12422012-04-09no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/introduction-site-building-drupal-72024-07-19T23:15Zyearly0.9Introduction to Site Building with Drupal 7In this series we will walk through the process of building a basic Drupal 7 site. We start with installation and cover all of the major pieces of site building, including content, menus, blocks, users, and adding modules and themes. Along the way we'll define all of the common Drupal terminology and at the end you will have your first Drupal site, as well as the basic building blocks to build many more sites. This video gives an overview of the series. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/cQnSXJS8F6n6xI9D_MvC4cPU2fgc3_2zmyJErIAi5lc.jpg.jpg712012-03-14no https://drupalize.me/blog/calling-all-curious-drupal-beginners2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/course/introduction-omega-3x2020-03-03T19:54Znever0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/finish-960-robots-omega-sub-theme2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9 Finish the 960 Robots Omega Sub-ThemeSo, we now have all of our CSS and HTML in our sub-theme. In this lesson, we've moved over the remaining files that our theme will need, like the images folder, and our node template files. The last step to finish this theme up, is to modify our CSS to take advantage of the responsive framework we already have in place. To do that we'll: <ul> <li>Review the theme files</li> <li>Look at our default CSS file</li> <li>See the responsive changes</li> </ul> We're in the home stretch with our theme, so let's make our CSS responsive and wrap things up.

We'll take a look at the work we've done to get to this point, and then deal with what looks like could be a tricky HTML wrapper problem by creating a new zone for our theme, and configuring it to meet our needs. So, we'll: <ul> <li>Review templates and variables</li> <li>Add a new zone to our theme</li> <li>Configure our regions with the new zone</li> </ul> This is where we can really see how to blend the usefulness of code and configuration in Omega, to accomplish our task in a very simple way. <h3>Additional resources</h3> You can download the final <a href="http://drupal.org/project/ninesixtyrobots_omega">Ninesixty Robots Omega theme</a> as a regular project from Drupal.org.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/zsejGecE0nQQCptuRbLw1sUHF0LssbeIfIp6G1VklKY.jpg.jpg5682012-11-21no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-template-variables-omega2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Add Template Variables in OmegaWe have a custom template file that has the HTML that we want, but not all of variables are coming through yet, and instead we are getting "Undefined variable" errors. In this lesson we're going to take care of that, as well as making sure our custom variables from the original 960 Robots get moved over as well. Omega has its own best practices around adding preprocess and process functions to a sub-theme, so we'll walk through what Omega expects, and how to use the files and examples that Omega is providing for us. So we're going to: <ul> <li>Look at the Omega best practices</li> <li>Create a process include file</li> <li>Add our region variables</li> <li>Add our custom variable from 960 Robots</li> </ul> <h3>Additional resources</h3> You can download the final <a href="http://drupal.org/project/ninesixtyrobots_omega">Ninesixty Robots Omega theme</a> as a regular project from Drupal.org.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/NZJyKRFlkKA-u4kLXsByCF1VK00_g6X8OvtWB_uVe5w.jpg.jpg6232012-11-21no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/omega-global-css-and-custom-templates2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Omega Global CSS and Custom TemplatesFor this lesson we get to finally start to convert our 90 Robots theme into our Omega sub-theme. We're going to take a look at what we have the original 960 Robots files, and start to move that into our 960 Robots Omega theme. To start things off we will: <ul> <li>Review theme files</li> <li>Move main.css into the global.css file</li> <li>Begin converting the page.tpl.php</li> <li>Create a custom region template</li> </ul> Here is where the rubber meets the road for making our sub-theme look the way we want it to, so let's dive in. <h3>Additional resources</h3> You can download the final <a href="http://drupal.org/project/ninesixtyrobots_omega">Ninesixty Robots Omega theme</a> as a regular project from Drupal.org.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/jW9VRouMh-0vvq3RL6oLu3rs0u-jo91hPpRXkojjfbE.jpg.jpg8842012-11-14no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/understand-omega-css-and-dom2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Understand Omega CSS and DOMThe combination of Omega, Alpha and our new 960 robots base theme means that there are a pile ton of CSS files included in our pages now. These CSS files provide the foundation for some of the coolest features in Omega like the mobile first approach and the ability to provide a responsive design. Lets take a look at <ul> <li>The various CSS files included by alpha, Omega, and our subtheme and how they work together</li> <li>Do a quick expirement to demonstrate the various CSS files associated with Omega's media queries</li> <li>Talk abou the HTML output by the Omega theme and how it's structured.</li> </ul> So put on your goggles beacuse we're about dive deep into the land of responsive CSS. <h3>Additional resources</h3> You can download the final <a href="http://drupal.org/project/ninesixtyrobots_omega">Ninesixty Robots Omega theme</a> as a regular project from Drupal.org.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/75hZVhuiUql1V9tyrfOz6trGktJOO-P_7QJxAjC3RgE.jpg.jpg7042012-11-14no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/export-omega-theme-settings2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Export Omega Theme SettingsIn this lesson we will be covering how take all the settings we have made for our 960 robots subtheme and export it into code. We will cover multiple ways of doing this and why this is a good practice to get into when working with different environements and/or other team members. We also cover adding features to the .info file from our exisiting theme into our new Omega sub-theme. So basically, this lesson will cover <ul> <li>Exporting your theme </li> <li>Why export?</li> <li>3 Different methods of export</li> <li>More theme conversion</li> </ul> Once the lesson is complete you will become an exporting guru and impress your friends at just about any gathering with your Omega Exporting amesomeness. <h3>Additional resources</h3> You can download the final <a href="http://drupal.org/project/ninesixtyrobots_omega">Ninesixty Robots Omega theme</a> as a regular project from Drupal.org.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/jQq2_wtXAjuIahqPA69-FdUxcQlPJhaUoPbHjcgCcjY.jpg.jpg6402012-11-14no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/using-mysql-command-line2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Using MySQL from Command Line<p>This video looks at the basics of working with MySQL from the command line.

This lesson builds on information from the previous couple of lessons regarding implementing views handlers and general coding for views best practices. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/XIMQn3KwXvlF0EKTWqXpKRXNIw2mrdyurD3EJXe07l8.jpg.jpg9542012-10-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/writing-custom-filter-handlers2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Writing Custom Filter HandlersIn this lesson Joe takes a look at writing a custom filter handler by building on the knowledge gained about writing handlers from the previous lessons. Filter handlers control how data in a table is treated when being used in the context of a views filter including things like how the data is represented, what the form for filtering looks like and more. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/d9dj-yBtW_HpKy_kJpMzAHdq1Tn3POGyEAI6shUwmR8.jpg.jpg12882012-10-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/views-access-plugin2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Views Access PluginIn our original Databasics module, we had some access control around who could see the tab we are providing on the user page. Now that we have switched that tab to being a view, we need to still add that access control back. In this lesson, we will work with a new feature of Views: plugins. We will create an access plugin that gives us the freedom to add our own custom access control, along with settings to give our users a choice about what access they'd like to use. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/3Nmc_7wf9LJ9Td-l9xBpuNi2x71PtPRsjOP8K8gVVW0.jpg.jpg13282012-10-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/adding-fields-do-not-exist-database2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Adding Fields That Do Not Exist in the DatabaseIn this video we'll look at adding yet another field handler, but in this instance we will be adding a Views field that does not directly map to an actual field in the database. Instead we will be creating our own variation on some data and adding it as a field that can be used in our views — a field that shows the percentage of page views as a black bar graph. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Gt6kQouXrdGV8sz-QvdzgFfbHk_MH-diPK90xbOdsSI.jpg.jpg7172012-10-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/creating-default-view-exporting-existing-view2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Creating a Default View by Exporting an Existing ViewOne of the most common things to do with Views is export a view from your site and store it in code as a default View. This is what Features module does when you create a feature with a view in it. In this lesson we'll export our sample site's view and add it to our module with hook_views_default_views(). http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/OottShd2QcGejz4rds1zhNAQUw_DFbkasqX3I7D2000.jpg.jpg5152012-09-19no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/writing-custom-field-handlers2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Writing Custom Field HandlersIn this video Joe will walk through writing a custom field handler for views. Demonstrating how to extend the set of handlers that come with the views module in order to provide new functionality or for dealing with new types of data. In this case we'll look at how to treat the numerical values in the databasics module as percentages in views. The method used to write a field handler in this video is similar to overriding other handlers like filters and sorts that will be discussed in coming chapters and provides some important foundations for understanding how to work with all views handlers. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/views">Views</a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/ctools">CTools</a></li> <li><a href="http://github.com/lullabot/databasics">Databasics</a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/devel">Devel</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/JreEYB0Njoo_yXXduqkgRSqm7v7u45W8h3GkqsLmAwE.jpg.jpg12152012-10-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/exposing-your-modules-tables-views2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Exposing Your Module's Tables to ViewsIn this video Joe looks at using <code>hook_views_data()</code> in order to describe a database table to views such that views is capable of making queries to that table.

He describes how Drupal's access API allows for Organic Groups to function in such a way that certain groups and/or pieces of content can be hidden from users that don't have access to it. He demonstrates how you can add fields to groups and/or content types to have fine control over this access control on an individual basis versus the defaults. He also demonstrates how you can switch this control at any time to give a user access to content they may not have had access to at time of publication. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/og">Organic Groups</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/views">Views</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/ctools">CTools</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/entityreference">Entity Reference</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/entity">Entity API</a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/devel">Devel</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/NXevpVFJBY4ayG3YntfzsO8fxJHMTmVqK3lRiL1juRE.jpg.jpg12282012-06-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/organic-groups-views2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Organic Groups ViewsIn this lesson we give a tour of some of the views that Organic Groups and Organic Groups Extra created and are using.

She will show how you can add more fields to the membership and display them in Views. Karen will also illustrate how to create additional membership types, like a membership that is intended to be temporary rather than permanent. Note: This video was recorded using older versions of some of the modules. At the time there where 2 different og_reference* fields that you needed to handle. og_reference and og_group_ref_other_groups_ref, in current versions of the modules used there is just one og_reference field. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/og">Organic Groups</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/views">Views</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/ctools">CTools</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/entityreference">Entity Reference</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/entity">Entity API</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/computed_field">Computed Field</a></li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/r-MTJng3g0QtX_UZci4WoyrpD5NugfqMUuOwQnRPJWI.jpg.jpg16342012-07-11no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/displaying-content-without-panels2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Displaying Content without PanelsIn this lesson we take the approach of using the Organic Groups Extra module to spruce up our team pages with relevant content. By itself Organic Groups doesn't do a whole lot to display either a useful groups page or the relationships between a piece of content and the group itself. Instead it relies on modules that are geared towards that specific task like Panels or Organic Groups Extras. Joe shows us how we can use OG Extras to make the group page itself a bit more useful by displaying some additional information like a list of group members and the list of all the content that's been posted in that group. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/og">Organic Groups</a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/og_extras">OG Extras</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/views">Views</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/ctools">CTools</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/entityreference">Entity Reference</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drupal.org/project/entity">Entity API</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/eva">EVA: Entity Views Attachment</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/VNK3Jd3XFA2Ye0tZo8aGySaUCoxnqxHV5VcsAfATjcY.jpg.jpg15472012-07-04no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/requirements-organic-groups2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Requirements for Organic GroupsIn this chapter, Joe Shindelar goes over all the necessary modules needed to get organic groups up and running.

The series starts from the basics, goes through the various required modules used to build a site with Organic Groups, and then gets in depth with creating groups, adding content to groups, and dealing with group membership. In addition to the basics of creating groups, the series also takes a look at the various settings related to both access control and permissions and how you can combine them to create private and public groups. Next we show you how to use the OG Extras module to display more information on the main group page and then how to use the Panels module to display group content and other advanced Fields and Views configuration related to OG. This video assumes that you understand the basics of content, fields, and Views in Drupal. If you need a refresher on these topics, consider reviewing these other tutorial series:</p> <ul> <li><a href="series/intro-fields-site-builders-series">Intro to Fields for Site Builders</a></li> <li><a href="series/intro-views-drupal-7-series">Intro to Views for Drupal 7</a></li> </ul> <p><em>Note: There have been significant changes to Organic Groups since this lesson was made. We use the 7.x-2.x-dev version from May 2012, or the equivalent of 7.x-2.0-alpha3, in our lessons. Though we would like to revisit and update this series, we have no current schedule to complete that. The best place to figure out what has changed and why, would be the Organic Groups issue queue on Drupal.org (http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/og).</em></p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupal.org/project/og">Organic Groups at Drupal.org</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/nlrB20YhX1N-sWrTDznPw3xsqc4NM1kQJbFvSHJ_v0c.jpg.jpg4022012-06-13no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/groups-member-perspective2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Groups from a Member PerspectiveIn this video Michelle takes a look at our example site, My Town Sports, from a member's perspective.

We’ll create a field that will help you get data into your calendar, go over all the proper modules you need to install, and introduce you to a new way of getting your calendar going with a template. Then we’ll configure some blocks, add them to our website to display a mini calendar and upcoming events, and bring taxonomy in to get some organization inside your calendar. We’ll customize the look and feel of the calendar and get involved in using repeating dates or multiple dates. By the end of this series, you will become a calendar guru. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupalize.me/videos/installing-and-enabling-modules-drupal-7">Installing and enabling modules in Drupal 7</a> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/WMnm9HD5lL-Nhu40MtAtOtjxH5KucTV5C_NoJzgTNeM.jpg.jpg1142012-05-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-event-data-work2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Create Event Data to Work with<p>In this starting chapter, Karen is going to set up some basic things we&#39;ll need to start building calendars.

We talk about the two approaches of adding the HTML to an existing Drupal theme template vs. inserting dynamic variables into the HTML provided by our designer. Throughout this video, we're going to be assuming that our designer has delivered the full HTML, CSS and JavaScript to us, and we'll be adding in the dynamic variables. In this process we start to look at the design and start to break it up into it's component Drupal parts and start to strategize for how to build out the site and implement the design.. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupal.org/project/ninesixtyrobots">960 Robots theme</a> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/E-guurvdIXFEmVQRWnZ5iqdwp7wX-xmD9n4bwlsTrKE.jpg.jpg3202011-09-23no https://drupalize.me/course/dates-drupal-72020-03-06T22:22Znever0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/introduction-dates-series2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Introduction to the Dates Series<p>When you learn how Drupal handles dates, you can create event functionality, listing pages with a unique result set, and calendars. The Dates Series begins with basic configurations and the contributed modules required to integrate with other functionality. In addition to creating a new content type for our Date field via the wizard, we also explore all possible configuration choices by diving deeper into the Date field. Once we have content on our site, we move into displaying the content in unique ways in Views by using basic filters, exposed filters and contextual filters. Other demonstrations in this series include working with multiple date fields, repeating dates and integrating with the Context module.</p> <p>If you would like to work along with the video, the entire demo site can be <a href="http://drupalize.me/videos/introduction-dates-series#downloads">downloaded</a> and set up (it is found on the introduction video&#39;s Downloads tab). The zip file includes the Drupal files, the database, and a README.txt file to explain setting it up. The site was created using the Demonstration module so that you can switch back and forth among the finished states of the various chapters.</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/QbOR2E2ksqQNb352qUYaKO1A_ups3k9rsNPsdIOMQj8.jpg.jpg912012-04-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/integrating-context-module2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Integrating with the Context ModuleIn this final video Kyle will show us how to use the Date context module, which comes as a part of the Date project, along with the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/context">Context module</a> to display some blocks based on the date associated with the content we are viewing. We create two blocks, one for dates in the future, and another for dates in the past. We then configure Context to display the correct block based on the content's date. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/oYVpVuXwI7uJ9St1Hxpr51bZwqC0ceKOBuLtbsy7T8A.jpg.jpg4542012-05-02no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/grouping-views-results-date2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Grouping Views Results by Datein this chapter Kyle shows you how to create a view of content which shows the content grouped by the year in which it was created.

We'll be listing our date content, with an exposed filter for selecting the date range, and we look at how to set relative dates to fill in the form's default values. You'll need to the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/views">Views</a> and <a href="http://drupal.org/project/ctools">Chaos Tools</a> modules for this chapter. If you would like a refresher on using Views, you can watch our <a href="series/intro-views-drupal-7-series">Intro to Views for Drupal 7 series</a>. Note: With an update in Date module (7.x-2.x), you can now change the format of the date in the exposed filter. It's not a completely smooth process, but here are some instructions for how to get this working. 1. Ensure that the following modules and their dependencies are enabled: Date, Date Views, Date Popup, Views UI. 2. Add a date field to a content type. Collect only the date (not the time -- uncheck hours, minutes, seconds). Create some content with a date. 3. Create a new view of fields filtered by the content type in which you added a date field. 4. Update the format as described in the video to table and add a label to the Title field. 5. Add the date field to fields. Choose the "short" format to display. 6. Add the date field to filters. Select "day" as granularity. 7. Expose the date filter. Configure it as described in the video. 8. The exposed date filter should show a long format in the text field, which is not what we want. 9. In a new tab, go to Configuration > Regional and Language > Date and time > Types 10. For the Date Type of "Short", select the 2nd option (10/21/2014 - 12:29). Save configuration. 11. Go back to your view and refresh the page. The date popup format should now be in the short format. It should now respect whatever format you choose for "Short" in the Date and Type settings. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/OwU3ATX89MnrYy4e_sBruhM2tTqzOYpDDfNkLAr9P8Y.jpg.jpg10902012-04-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/customizing-date-field2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Customizing the Date FieldIn this chapter we dive deeper into the Date field and look at all the configuration options that come with the Date field out of the box.

This example walks through writing a module that that saves and displays data about how many times a user has visited a specific page. We learn about db_select(), db_insert(), db_update(), db_merge(), db_delete() and introduce the concept of "get and set" helper functions. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/OqxHdxgV23TFzrSJ7mHYWVRDsWpKN_fm9xy9AJKAlsY.jpg.jpg14052012-01-04no https://drupalize.me/blog/drupalizeme-podcast-2-jen-lampton2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/adding-table-database2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Adding a Table to the DatabaseIn this chapter we learn how to create a new database table. This example walks through creating a module that defines the the properties of our new table and also programatically creating that table. We learn about hook_schema() and hook_update_N() in our module's install file. <strong>Trainers note:</strong> This video starts out with a module that implements hook_node_view() and stores data about views in the $_SESSION variable. It also states that we built this earlier in the series. However, that's not true. We did talk about hook_node_view() in https://drupalize.me/videos/event-driven-hook-system, but we never actually wrote the $_SESSION handling part. So, if you're following along and want the same sample code we start with make sure you download the code attached to this node. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Xpg2tuUrB0IdRtBGoF0IssKppuAfe62Bntlz-ASD2Mk.jpg.jpg6822012-01-01no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-database-layer-drupal-72023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9An Overview of the Database Layer in Drupal 7In this excerpt from the <a href="videos/overview-drupal-7">Overview of Drupal 7</a>, Angie Byron, talks about the Database API in Drupal 7.

It is probably better to target the Rules data widget than doing a standard form_alter, but both will work.</li> <li>You could, for example, use this for changing comment settings on nodes, or adding selected tags to nodes. (Both examples shown in this screencast.) You could also use it for, say, sending customized messages or something. Or cloning existing nodes with changes specified in parameters.</li> <li>Bonus: If you add an entry to a multiple-value field in an entity, Rules won’t pick up that the entity has changed – make sure to add a “save entity” action in the rule.</li> </ul> <strong>Not mentioned in this screencast but still good to know:</strong> <ul> <li>You can have Rules components without any parameters as well.

The biggest thing to know is that the form rendering process has already gone through the creation and validation preparation process at the module layer, and so you shouldn't be drastically changing the functionality of a form at the theme layer. This form alter hook at the theme layer is primarily for aesthetic clean-up, styling and additional design.

When it comes to building your company's web strategy around open source tools, though, the decisions can be fuzzier. The best-known arguments for Open Source are often ideological rather than pragmatic, and fail to account for the different needs of different projects and businesses. In this Do it with Drupal session, Jeff Eaton will explain the no-nonsense pros and cons of Open Source, covering the big wins as well as the tradeoffs and common pain points. Whether your business is testing the Open Source water, betting the farm on community-maintained software, or open-sourcing its own creations, you'll learn how to avoid common pitfalls and set yourself up for success. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/4hncjj3ep1G5mP-fttQXAHHbYmnfGIeobDgxIptC6Wk.jpg.jpg43792011-12-02no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/field-templates2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Field TemplatesIn this lesson we cover how you can do some powerful things with Display Suite in regards to field templates.

We are going to add an image field to the basic page content type and set the node display to use medium size of 220 wide by 220 tall. Being able to set a standard for image display creates consistency and a better user experience. Site builders and content administrators will also have less work because you don&rsquo;t need to cut all of your images before you upload them.

We run into Drupal.org&#39;s spam protection, so we also walk through getting ourselves on the no spam list for the site. After we complete our edit, we then see how to add our own new handbook page, by creating documentation for a contributed module, which doesn&#39;t have a page yet. We finish up by creating an issue in the module&#39;s issue queue, to get a link to our new page added to the module&#39;s project page.

Now, Views does all of this for us. Views allows you to create a list of only the content that you want, based on criteria that you define. In this video we demonstrate the first things to do when creating a View: selecting our Base Table, specifying the Display, looking at Advanced Features to filter content, and specifying the HTML output. Throughout the course of this series, we're going to start with the content types and fields that we created during the Intro to Fields for Site Builders video series. We'll continue the job board example, and create unique listings. <strong>Our apologies! The audio on this video is really bad and hard to listen to because of some background hissing. On top of that, the transcript interface using the "T" icon is broken on this video. Double-boo! Here is the text of the audio. Note: You can also mute the audio and display the captions by clicking the "cc" icon on the lower right corner of the video player.</strong> <p>Views is the most popular contributed module. In the subsequent chapters, we'll show you step-by-step how to use Views.</p> <p>Views is a query builder that makes lists of your content. But what does that mean? Let's pretend we're looking for a new car. And we want our salesperson to only show us green cars. No, let's make that blue cars. Or maybe, we only want to see trucks.</p> <p>Think of all of your content as this giant parking lot. Views allows you to create a list of only the content that you want, based on the criteria that you define. And you can concatenate this criteria. You can say, show me all the content that is of the type, article and, authored by the admin user.</p> <p>Back in the olden days of Drupal, we used to write raw SQL. Now, Views does all of this for us. To create a list of content on our site, we don't need to know anything about the database at all. Views will give us an administrative interface where we can click around to configure our criteria, and also how we'd like it to be output. The previous slide showed us that there are a lot of options to select from. But in basic terms-- Views sucks data in, fires off magic thingies, and then outputs hotness.</p> <p>When creating a View, the first thing that we select is our Base Table. This is the pool of data from where we want to start creating our lists. Do we want to show information about nodes, or users, or comments, even. And then we can select what we'd like our first Display to be. Should our list to be a page, with a unique URL. Or a block, that we can place in any region in our site. For a Display, in addition to selecting the filter criteria, we can specify which fields we want to appear. And also, what order we'd like our content listed. Advanced Features allows us to filter content based on a current condition-- like the URL, or the logged-in user.</p> <p>We also can gather information that is related to our current result. Views allows us to have multiple displays for each View. For each subsequent Display you create, it will inherit the configurations of your first Display. Although the new Display utilizes your previous settings, you can override that. Once we've selected our Base Table, and configured our Display settings, Views will also allow us to specify the HTML output. We can choose from a simple div structure, and ordered lists, or even a table.</p> <p>Views is a powerful and highly-configurable list maker. Throughout the course of these videos, we're going to take the content types and fields that we created during the Intro to Fields for Site Builders video series. We'll continue the job board example, and create unique listings. The Views module contains so many configurations and settings. Through our practical examples, we aim to demystify it. So let's dive in.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupal.org/project/views" target="_new">Views module at Drupal.org</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/WZuIn3jTNsHjna3wvvvqcCmOFfbGdcCWrs3ifDj_-s8.jpg.jpg2172011-08-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/brief-explanation-omega-video-series2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Brief Explanation of the Omega Video SeriesOmega is a Drupal base theme that provides you with a really nice responsive framework. Omega also provides a lot of configuration options that are accessed through the UI rather than code. So, you can adjust the display settings and know that the underlying framework will be intact. In this series, we're going to be demonstrating the Omega module by converting an existing Drupal theme into an Omega sub-theme. We'll talk about the HTML and CSS that's involved, and how they work together. We'll be working with theme functions and looking at the Omega best practices around how to break out your theme functions, where to put those, and how to use them. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design">http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design</a></li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/sRdkm0BtB6wsGgze0Tt4OfUVUnvV8ebIvdy2juHWw1E.jpg.jpg2482012-10-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/adjusting-settings-each-panel-pane2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Adjusting the Settings for Each Panel Pane<p>Each piece of content placed into a panel has it&rsquo;s own configuration settings, covering everything from display style to access control.

As an example, a rule is set up that, once a day, removes any stick front page content that is older than one week. To do similar cools stuff yourself, the following steps may be useful:</p> <ul> <li>You need a view that lists the entities you want to work on in Rules. Note that you <em>don&rsquo;t</em> need a display of the view &ndash; and it might even be better not to have one if you don&rsquo;t want the view to be displayed somewhere.</li> <li>However, you need one bulk operations field. The <em>type</em> of bulk operations field determines what entity type will be sent to Rules. Note that you don&rsquo;t need any actions enabled for the field &ndash; it is enough that it is present.</li> <li>You need a rule that, as an action, loads entities from a VBO. (This is available under the &ldquo;Views bulk operations&rdquo; group.) All view displayes with at least one VBO field will be selectable.</li> <li>The action provides a list of entities, that can be used just like other lists in Rules.

Page manager allows you to take over many of the &lsquo;default&rsquo; displays in Drupal, including the display of content (nodes), profiles (users), category listings (taxonomy), and also the edit forms for each of these entities.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/panels">Panels at Drupal.org</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/QNzzkSfOfv1aCdprxU8XZ6Wutnqkbai1FqXdyGmSles.jpg.jpg722012-09-26no https://drupalize.me/blog/capitalcamp-workshop-community-tools2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/display-suite-view-modes2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Display Suite View ModesIn this lesson we cover how one can use view modes and display suite to allow multiple options of layouts for content display.

This lesson walks through a simple example of creating a basic view listing published articles on a site, and then using EVA to attach that view to user profiles, and making sure that we only list the published articles for that user, using a contextual filter. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/project/eva">Entity Views Attachment (EVA) module</a> <a href="http://drupal.org/project/entity">Entity API module</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/rCubM_YmkXsmCZpFnNW1Ujs7YHkDRlYMb3smzCvr7Vw.jpg.jpg5882013-02-20no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/lullabot-module-monday-word-link2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Lullabot Module Monday: Word LinkIn this <a href="https://www.lullabot.com/articles/module-monday-word-link">Lullabot Module Monday lesson</a> we look at the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/word_link">Word Link module</a>. It's a simple problem, but a tricky one: How can you ensure that special words and phrases, like your company's name or certain trademarks, are always linked to an appropriate web site when they're used in the text of an article?

Few things are more terrifying than the realization that a server hiccup has wiped out a web site, or a hasty change deployed to the live site has nuked important content. Fortunately, there's a module that can help. Backup and Migrate offers site builders a host of options for manually and automatically backing up their sites' databases, and integrates with third-party backup services, to boot! <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.lullabot.com/articles/module-monday-backup-and-migrate">Lullabot Module Monday: Backup and Migrate article</a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/backup_migrate">Backup and Migrate module</a></li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/H7HSQU_QCo06uPK9PnGP5k3CFchw4QmgKr8xoOPEqks.jpg.jpg4472013-02-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/lullabot-module-monday-menu-position2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Lullabot Module Monday: Menu PositionIn this <a href="https://www.lullabot.com/articles/module-monday-menu-position">Lullabot Module Monday lesson</a> we walk through the useful <a href="http://drupal.org/project/menu_position">Menu Position module</a>. It's a word that can strike fear into the heart of the bravest site builder: Breadcrumbs. Manage them well, and you'll give visitors a helpful visual indicator of where they're at in your site. Miss a detail, and the weird inconsistencies will be more confusing than no breadcrumbs at all. The challenges stem from Drupal's "flat hierarchy" -- by default, almost all pages (including every node you create) live just beneath the home page itself in an undifferentiated pool of content. All of the visual cues it sends to visitors (breadcrumb trails, highlighted parent items in the navigation menus, and so on) start with that assumption until you override them. That's where the Menu Position module helps out. It lets you set up simple rules that tell Drupal where each node type should go in the site's hierarchy, then handles all of the frustrating details automatically. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.lullabot.com/articles/module-monday-menu-position">Lullabot Module Monday: Menu Position article</a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/menu_position">Menu Position module</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/h3qoEZtiFjTM21TD0IxhqnjEGlczsTymouua8CWFXZs.jpg.jpg3002013-02-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/lullabot-module-monday-mass-password-reset2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Lullabot Module Monday: Mass Password ResetIn this <a href="https://www.lullabot.com/articles/module-monday-mass-password-reset">Lullabot Module Monday article</a>, we learn about the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/mass_pwreset">Mass Password Reset module</a>. It's a question we all ask ourselves: What would I do if my site or server was compromised? Security professionals have loads of checklists to follow, and experienced server administrators drill for those moments. As we saw when Twitter.com was compromised by hackers, "Reset everyone's passwords, right away!" is almost always one of the important steps. If you run a Drupal site, that particular step can be frustrating. Resetting user passwords one by one is incredibly time consuming, and there's no way to do it for everyone in one fell swoop. At least, there wasn't until the release of the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/mass_pwreset">Mass Password Reset module</a>. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.lullabot.com/articles/module-monday-mass-password-reset">Lullabot Module Monday article: Mass Password Reset</a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/mass_pwreset">Mass Password Reset module</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/QuMgXSQLPMHvHpM7etmGeJiZgyPBa_i3WmiDa-Fywco.jpg.jpg1872013-03-06no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/lullabot-module-monday-style-guide2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Lullabot Module Monday: Style GuideIn this <a href="https://www.lullabot.com/articles/module-monday-style-guide">Lullabot Module Monday lesson</a>, we take a look at the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/styleguide">Style Guide module</a>. Comparing Drupal themes is tough: the screenshots they provide are often based on heavily tweaked sites with plenty of slider blocks, tweaked media attachments, and other just-so content.

It's a simple problem, but a serious one. You've put your content editors in front of Drupal for the first time, and they can understand the node form without any problems. They understand taxonomy terms, grok menus and node references… but they get nervous when it's time to save their work. "Will... will this be published as soon as I click 'save?'" Normally, there's no good way to make the distinction between saving and publishing a piece of content explicit. Site builders can set a content type to be unpublished by default, then give editors the broad "administer nodes" permission, but that's clumsy solution that forces editors to dig for what should be a simple action: publishing or unpublishing a post. That's where the Publish Button module comes in. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.lullabot.com/articles/module-monday-publish-button">Lullabot Module Monday article: Publish Button</a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/publish_button">Publish Button module</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/CcQa5ZqiMbu6WxcQiAVlxETxPlNVcpt9mXBUpyb51OQ.jpg.jpg2042013-03-06no https://drupalize.me/course/introduction-git2024-07-19T23:21Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/introduction-git-series2023-12-21T23:45Znever0.9Introduction to the Git SeriesThis is an in-depth course that starts with the basics of version control, establishes some terminology, and a base line workflow, then continues to build on that by going beyond the basics of the various Git commands to make the most out of your tools.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/qnEdK2bjUzZ6N1Z3QGEL6ke7F87jLZCGoCCQ-o6Xz7w.jpg.jpg1582013-03-13no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/installing-and-configuring-git2023-12-21T23:46Znever0.9Installing and Configuring Git<p>In this lesson we take a look at the methods available to install Git on different operating systems including Windows, Mac OS, and Linux and how to ensure that you&#39;re environment is properly setup to start using Git.

In this series we cover the ins and outs of writing modules that implement the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/views">Views</a> API. Once you&rsquo;ve realized the power of creating complex lists of nodes, users and other content via the views UI the next logical desire is to allow people to do that with the content provided by your custom module as well. This series will take an in-depth look at exposing your own database tables to the Views module so that users can use them as a place to pull content from including the fields themselves and meta-data about how they can be used to create relationships to other content on your site.</p> <p>After getting the basics out of the way we&rsquo;ll also take a look at writing our own custom field handlers to expose our module&rsquo;s data to views so that it can be sorted, filtered, and queried in new ways. We&rsquo;ll also look at implementing views plugins to do things like add custom access control options to views and to add new output styles.</p> <p>Once you understand a bit more about how views works under the hood and how easy it is to tie in to that system you&rsquo;ll be reimaging your solutions for all sorts of different problems.</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/l7fXSs7ONsfsgeSCA5UFnwVim7xxH_PZWmOrlS-g5io.jpg.jpg1652012-09-12no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/exposing-more-fields-and-adding-relationships2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Exposing More Fields and Adding RelationshipsIn this video Joe describes the process of adding the rest of the fields from the databasics module to our implementation of hook_views_data() including how to differentiate between different data types like strings of text and numeric values and how this changes the views module's behavior.

I've even seen scenarios where you've created a temporary workaround in your codebase and now you're ready to remove that workaround and put in a real fix.

We're all human, and sometimes bugs get introduced our software and we may not notice them for a while. Especially on fast moving projects. A good example of this would be a performance regression, and now you want to figure out what commit made everything run slower all of a sudden. Bisect allows us to do a binary search between a known good commit and a known bad commit and quickly narrow down which commit introduced the problem. From there it's much easier to figure out what exactly the problem is and fix it.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/c1F1nORUG54XO9IWdS0cWe83HaZsvxyMojWbRft67qU.jpg.jpg5232013-04-10no https://drupalize.me/blog/wowza-and-leap-second2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/working-git-githubcom2023-12-22T01:21Znever0.9Working with Git on Github.comGitHub is a great, free service that lets you share your Git repositories online with others.

We'll also take a quick tour of Joe's personal _.gitconfig_ file that he uses in his day-to-day work. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/wKbcW2H3uwEA1ZdCXOdyapixWx-M8q8__2_mPlCGEYI.jpg.jpg6092013-04-10no https://drupalize.me/course/working-entities-drupal-72024-07-19T23:26Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-are-drupal-entities2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9What Are Drupal Entities?<p>In this lesson Joe will explain what an entity is and provide a little bit of history about how they came into being.

The Entity API in Drupal 7 provides a set of common functions and classes to make it easier for developers to create their own custom entity types or to work with existing ones in a generic way. The API in Drupal core however is still missing some really useful tools and is supplemented by the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/entity">Entity module</a> in Drupal contributed which we&#39;ll make heavy use of throughout the series.</p> <p>In this series we&#39;ll learn about the interplay between Entities, Entity Types, Bundles, and Fields and how to write custom code to deal with each of these things. The Entity API demo site files that we use in this series are all located in the <a href="https://github.com/Lullabot/entity-api-demos">Lullabot GitHub</a>, as well as in zip files attached to the respective video pages, under the Downloads tab.</p> <p>This series covers:</p> <ul> <li>What entities are and how they fit into the Drupal ecosphere</li> <li>EntityFieldQuery</li> <li>Entity classes, what they do and how to override them</li> <li>Providing an admin UI for adding/editing and deleting entities from Drupal</li> <li>Making entities fieldable</li> <li>View modes</li> <li>Creating custom UI&#39;s for dealing with entities</li> <li>Describing entity properties to Drupal</li> <li>Views integration for entities</li> <li>Entity Metadata wrappers</li> <li>Making entities revisionable</li> </ul> <p>And much much more. This series assumes that you&#39;re already familiar with the basic tenets of writing modules for Drupal and makes use of things like hook_menu() without spending time explaining them. If you&#39;re not familiar with Drupal module development, you might want to brush up by watching our <a href="http://drupalize.me/series/module-development-drupal-7">Module Development for Drupal 7</a> first.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://github.com/Lullabot/entity-api-demos">Entity API Demo site files on GitHub</a> <a href="http://drupal.org/project/entity">Entity module at Drupal.org</a> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/kmp-EjFllLYg3HKPBnR1NofCof3E1qelCkka05DVJAw.jpg.jpg2322013-04-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/make-lists-entities-entity-field-query2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Make Lists of Entities with Entity Field QueryThis lesson will explore the use of EntityFieldQuery to retrieve lists of entities from Drupal without directly querying the database which can be problematic in a system where the underlying schema can change depending on configuration settings in the user interface. Again focusing on writing code that will work with any entity in Drupal and isn't hard coded to your particular setup. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/1343708">EntityFieldQuery documentation</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/DPxfMuDpUNH7cYmWcZ4HwXInHDZ1Jqe9F7PJ0YIf5KY.jpg.jpg10462013-04-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/our-custom-drupal-entity-use-case2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Our Custom Drupal Entity Use CaseIn the next set of lessons we're going to be writing to the code to create our own custom entity type. The goal is to create a video entity that stores embed codes for YouTube videos and allows us to display the videos on our site. In this scenario we don't want all the overhead that comes with using the node system, like comments for example, so instead we're going to write our own custom entity for storing the data. We're going to take a look at the completed entity type that we're attempting to build and just walk through all the various components. We'll take a look at creating/updating, and deleting a video via the UI, and also the views integration and fieldability of our custom video entities. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/LstpaB0PrB6BoS11-9oHrDvh35122JhyAtyIUJHuGag.jpg.jpg3362013-04-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/introduction-entity-classes2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Introduction to Entity ClassesThis lesson introduces students to Entity classes and illustrates what each of the main Entity classes does, followed by a more in depth look at the CRUD operations provided by the base entity class, and finally demonstrates overriding the default Entity class with our own custom Entity object to define a defaultUrl() for our entities and a new implementation of hook_menu where we can view an entity. <strong>Note:</strong> At the end of the this video code is added to hook_entity_info() that references a <code>VideoEntityUIController</code> class, however, the definition of that class is in our sample code, but was not shown being added here. And it is necessary to follow along with the videos. If you're following along you'll want to add the following code to the bottom of your videoasset.module file. If you're curious about what it does it's explained in the last part of this video. <pre><code> /** * Our custom controller for the admin ui. */ class VideoEntityUIController extends EntityDefaultUIController {} </pre></code> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://github.com/Lullabot/entity-api-demos">Entity API demos on GitHub</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/2SrfYKCCtfp8TVRAdRlcSzEWdcL-4_TEczsTXZrQWEs.jpg.jpg5582013-04-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/provide-admin-ui-your-entity2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Provide an Admin UI for Your Entity Update your hook_entity_info implementation to take advantage of the Admin UI provided by the Entity API and quickly provide users of your site access to all the Entity CRUD operations via the UI. The API gives us a really good head start but we still need to write some code in order to provide a useable form for administrators. The API doesn’t make any assumptions about things like validating input so we also need to take care of that ourselves. This video adds a new permission that allows privileged users administer our new videoasset entities. If you're following along as a user other than user 1 you'll need to make sure you give yourself the proper permissions. In the video, I'm logged in as the user with the ID of 1 so I'm just granted the permissions automatically. <strong>Note:</strong> If you're following along with the videos in sequence there's an error that needs correcting. At the end of the previous video code was added to <code>videoentity_entity_info()</code> that references a <code>VideoEntityUIController</code> class, however, the definition of that class was not added. Which, will cause a PHP error because the class is missing. In order to correct this error, you'll want to add the following code to the bottom of your videoentity.module file. This just ensures that the class is defined so that there are no errors. If you're curious about what it does it's explained in the last part of the previous video. <pre><code> /** * Our custom controller for the admin ui. */ class VideoEntityUIController extends EntityDefaultUIController {} </pre></code> In <a href="https://drupalize.me/videos/customize-entity-ui-overriding-ui-controller?p=1174">a later tutorial in this series</a>, we'll customize the form for our video entity by adding more code to this class. <strong>Note:</strong> At 14:10 on line 36 this line is added: <pre><code>'#value' => isset($VideoAsset->id) ? t('Update video asset') : t('Save video asset'),</code></pre> It should be: <pre><code>'#value' => isset($video->id) ? t('Update video asset') : t('Save video asset'),</code></pre> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/8YRXslJdZ-v5pqwH0UclXj4gogBjtINtNhzusfqJtho.jpg.jpg12432013-05-01no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/override-entity-controller-better-rendering-and-saving2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Override the Entity Controller for Better Rendering and SavingSo far we’ve seen that you can use entity_load and entity_view to display your entity. But what if you want more control over how your content gets rendered? In this lesson we’ll take a look at overriding the buildContent() method of our entity controller to spruce up the output a bit. We'll also overrid the save() method of the controller in order to populate the created_at and updated_at fields automatically when saving a video entity. <strong>Note:</strong> In order to improve upon the security of the code in this lesson you'll want to make sure you're escaping all user input properly. The following code: <pre><code> $build[&#x27;embedcode&#x27;] = array( &#x27;#type&#x27; =&#x3E; &#x27;markup&#x27;, &#x27;#markup&#x27; =&#x3E; &#x27;&#x3C;iframe width=&#x22;560&#x22; height=&#x22;315&#x22; src=&#x22;http://www.youtube.com/embed/&#x27;. $entity-&#x3E;embedcode . &#x27;&#x22; frameborder=&#x22;0&#x22; allowfullscreen&#x3E;&#x3C;/iframe&#x3E;&#x27;, ); </code></pre> Should be updated to use the <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21common.inc/function/check_url/7">check_url()</a> function when outputting <code>$entity->embedcode</code> to ensure that user entered content is safe for use in the context of a URL. <pre><code> $build[&#x27;embedcode&#x27;] = array( &#x27;#type&#x27; =&#x3E; &#x27;markup&#x27;, &#x27;#markup&#x27; =&#x3E; &#x27;&#x3C;iframe width=&#x22;560&#x22; height=&#x22;315&#x22; src=&#x22;http://www.youtube.com/embed/&#x27;. check_url($entity-&#x3E;embedcode) . &#x27;&#x22; frameborder=&#x22;0&#x22; allowfullscreen&#x3E;&#x3C;/iframe&#x3E;&#x27;, ); </code></pre> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/ZSr6z2mZVl2IQ66Jcgyul6ppW3HPSW01jmnyo9nde0Y.jpg.jpg6562013-05-01no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/make-your-entity-fieldable-bundles2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Make Your Entity Fieldable with BundlesBundles are an implementation of an entity type to which fields can be attached. In this lesson we’ll take a look at configuring a single bundle type for our entities in order to allow us to make them fieldable by hardcoding the bundle information into hook_entity_info(). This is the most basic implementation of bundles. Then we’ll look at adding the ability to attach fields to our newly created bundle. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/WtyrNBhthC9ow6cN8eT9xgWpQCrKu6mBGtqyk7_KIzU.jpg.jpg2792013-05-01no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-and-remove-regions-omega2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Add and Remove Regions in OmegaBecause Omega doesn't make assumptions about your layout, it comes with lots of options and plenty of regions to work with. This is great but also has some down falls espcially if you are converting an exisiting theme that just doesn't need as many regions and zones. Along with removing regions you may need to add some as well. In this lesson we will demonstrate: <ul> <li>Adding a region</li> <li>Removing regions</li> <li>Placing content into these regions</li> <li>Cleaning up the .info file</li> </ul> Once this is complete, we now have our converted theme setup just as it was before when it comes to the grid system and some blocks in place to make sure the layout is looking good. NOTE: Kyle initially sets a position, but not the weight, of the footer_bottom region in this video, and then you'll see that he catches the mistake, and fixes it to have a weight of 3. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/0q538zDErObN0GFf8neoE5C__84VzyMORgjya9OPfNk.jpg.jpg5252012-11-07no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/adding-contextual-menu-links-and-using-menu-autoloaders2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Adding Contextual Menu Links and Using Menu AutoloadersThis chapter walks through the process of adding links to the contextual drop-down widgets new in Drupal 7. It also shows how using menu autoloaders can help simplify the code that you write in your page callback function since you won't have to do extra checking on the data. As a note, if you are wondering why we started our function with an underscore (_), naming functions with an underscore in front of the name is a common convention in Drupal that sort of implies that "this function is for internal use by this module only" and shouldn't be called by itself. It's also a nice way to ensure that your internal functions are not colliding with the namespace of a hook or another module. Here's a good <a href="blog/201301/naming-things-hard">blog post about naming things</a>. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/xzlAa3DZYjKpdeY9L__JtMZmP3wMS72GaauRfVa5_YA.jpg.jpg8702011-12-07no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/adding-custom-code-feature2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Adding Custom Code to a FeatureFeatures is a module which generates modules for us. You can then extend that module just as you would any other Drupal module. In this video we'll add some additional code to our feature to make it more complete for our needs, outside of the realm of what Features itself can provide. The features module (and the drush command) are pretty smart about not overwriting custom changes, and your chances of overwriting your custom code are pretty slim. When features exports a module it creates a .module file with only one line of code in it. Which is an include for another file: mymodule.features.inc. Features then puts all of the automatically generated code into this included file. When you regenerate or update a feature it just uses the existing mymodule.module file which maintains any code that you wrote, and then regenerates the mymodule.features.inc and associated files. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://drupal.org/project/features">Features project</a> (Drupal.org) <a href="https://drupalize.me/series/introduction-drush-series">Introduction to Drush Series</a> (Drupalize.Me) <a href="https://github.com/DrupalizeMe/drupalize-lullablog">https://github.com/DrupalizeMe/drupalize-lullablog</a> (GitHub.com)http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/UrcaaEgX-bKGoT8gjR7vl1YYkJVIiKXRRuA349bF2Ww.jpg.jpg7962011-06-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/adding-javascript-through-theme2025-05-16T21:45Zyearly0.9Adding JavaScript Through a ThemeThis lesson shows the steps and code to add on the Drupal side in order to load JavaScript scripts to you site. One thing to note is that the HTML5 placeholder attribute makes this plugin invalid markup. NOTE: There is a minor change between Drupal 6 and Drupal 7, where you should use <code>function($)</code> to wrap your code. For Drupal 7 you can use: <code> (function($) { $(document).ready(function() { $('#search input.form-text').autofill({ value: Drupal.t('Search...'), }); }); }(jQuery)); </code> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/BFkg9_-KOrkCtefyr82q8eFoL5JBqQLQrTtxir0lvY0.jpg.jpg9162010-05-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/entity-view-modes2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Entity View ModesProbably the most common use case for view modes is teaser nodes. Or, a node being rendered in the teaser view mode. View modes allow entities to be displayed different depending on context, and also allow other modules like Field API that participate in the entity rendering process to adjust their behavior depending on the requested view mode. In this lesson we’re going to take a look at an ‘authenticated’ view mode that we can use to adjust the display for any authenticated users. Then we’ll update Entity Controller class and make use of this new view mode in our ::view() method. NOTE: in the video Joe forgot to change the 'member' label to "Member" and then later in the video when we view it in the UI it is corrected. The sample code included with this video has the correct label. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/WyzrhI8Urq8nUB4miNPH3K6EEUOz9ICEmlZP1W8p8Zk.jpg.jpg6262013-05-08no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/customize-entity-ui-overriding-ui-controller2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Customize the Entity UI by Overriding the UI ControllerIn this lesson we're going to take a more in-depth look at the UI controller we used earlier to create our administrative UI for the entity. We'll walk through how the controller adds menu paths and the like, without us needing to do any extra work, and then clean up our form-builder functions by overriding the UI controller's method, so that we can gain control of the name of the function that's called. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/W-tklGoKb8o3MrtUmHBA_WSOrfhaW9YFRaoZG1Rqneg.jpg.jpg3832013-05-08no https://drupalize.me/blog/junebug-brings-interactive-transcripts2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/expose-your-entity-views2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Expose Your Entity to ViewsThis lesson takes a look at exposing the data in our entities to views.

Many times you can find a module that provides the functionality you need &mdash; or at least pretty close to what you need. Drupal&#39;s contributed module projects number in the thousands, but what if there isn&#39;t a module for your use case? You just might need to <em>build</em> a module for that.</p> <p>In this series, you will learn about the tools and resources available to Drupal developers, including where to find documentation and what APIs are available to you, both on <a href="http://drupal.org" target="_blank">drupal.org</a> and <a href="http://api.drupal.org" target="_blank">api.drupal.org</a>.

The API can infer some information about a property based on our schema but we need to tell it that the integer stored in the updated_at column is actually a timestamp. We will do this by implementing <code>hook_entity_property_info()</code> and describing each of our entities properties. With these definitions in place you will be able to use the formatters in Views much like you would for individual fields on content types provided by core. Note: Before you implement <code>hook_entity_property_info()</code> the API makes an educated guess about each property but once you've defined a single property, the API expects you to define all of the properties for your entity. Use the <code>.install</code> file in your module to get a complete list of the properties you need to define with <code>hook_property_entity_info</code>. You can also define additional properties that aren't mapped to fields in the database (these can be used for static properties). <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/1021466">Entity Property Information</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/4kckDWpqtPJBeQxJMrA-XuwTQKppMqpAZ6Dq1vYTnPU.jpg.jpg8332013-05-15no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/using-entity-metadata-wrappers2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Using Entity Metadata WrappersIf you've done any module development, you're probably familiar with hook_node_view and Drupal's arrays of doom. In this lesson we'll show you how to get easier access to the same information using entity metadata wrappers. We will use the entity_metadata_wrapper function to retrieve a new <code>EntityMetaDataWrapper</code> object that provides an interface for easily accessing an entities property and field values. We'll use the <code>getPropertyInfo</code> method to expose information about individual properties, and the <code>getIterator</code> method to access fields that contain multiple values, such as tags. You'll see that by using meta data wrappers you can also access properties on referenced entities, such as the email address of the author of a node, without having to load that information independently. Metadata wrappers also provide a consistent way to access properties common to all entities. For example, every entity in Drupal has a unique ID property or a human readable label, but these properties often have different names. User name vs. node title. Metadata wrappers allow you to access this information in a consistent way. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/1021556">Entity metadata wrappers</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/ez_0WzdU0e3p-5LEE_dSRkNkdrgJCpcec8U3qecOjeU.jpg.jpg9832013-05-15no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/entity-revisions2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Entity RevisionsRevisions are an important concept in a content management system. Keeping track of all the edits that have been made to a particular entity over the course of its lifetime. A paper trail or sorts. This lesson takes a look at what is required in order to make our Entities support revisions. If you've worked with Drupal's node system and enabled revisions then you've seen Drupal's basic revision handling in action. Every time you save a node, it creates a new version of that node. You can roll back to previous versions and keep track of how a piece of content has changed over time. Entity API also supports the concept of revisions and in this lesson we're going to take a look at adding revision support for our video entities. In order to take advantage of this feature, we'll need to modify our database schema to accommodate storing multiple versions of the same entity. We'll move all fields that we want to make "revisionable" into a separate table and set up a new unique version ID field so that we can keep track of revisions. Then we will update our <code>hook_entity_info</code> implementation to tell the API that we want to use the revision system and make some changes to the code in our <code>VideoEntityController</code> so that when an entity is updated we save a revision instead of overwriting the current data. Finally we'll need to write a simple UI for viewing older versions of our video entity because the Entity API does not provide us with this code by default. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/-LerepVTv6E4R5dIV2S9V2vWZmdY_Py7ATYOnjljhpY.jpg.jpg9862013-05-15no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/installing-and-using-dreditor2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Installing and Using Dreditor <p><strong>NOTE:</strong> Support of Dreditor has been nominal for a while. It's still the preferred tool for enhancing Drupal's issue queue, but keeping track of what the "official" version is can be tricky. For now, we recommend https://dreditor.github.io/. There's also been work happening to incorporate many of Dreditor's features right into Drupal.org itself.

We'll use this to modify the tags displaying on a node in our site. Notes: In the example: <code>$item['#options]['attributes'] += $variables['item_attributes_array'][$delta];</code> += is a shortcut for array_merge. So it is ensuring the contents of $variables['item_attributes_array'][$delta] are included in $item['#options]['attributes'] so that any class, rdf info or other html attributes are appropriate applied to the tag links. It's possible for any number of modules to set HTML attributes on the tags field in the theme we need to make sure that they get printed out appropriately. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://drupal.org/project/ninesixtyrobots">960 Robots</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/PGkDmfM0Lv7lB8Ah1J_udDz6WqqEEugJP52S5mFBE_I.jpg.jpg10232011-11-14no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/altering-forms-theme-layer2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Altering Forms from the Theme LayerThis chapter gives an introduction to how you work with Drupal's renderable, form arrays by adding an image button to the search form. It also walks through the process of adding the necessary classes to a form element so that the image button is properly aligned. The <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api_reference.html/7">Forms API reference</a> document is a pretty essential reference document for creating and editing forms in Drupal. Although we use the function dsm() in this video, this should probably be dpm() as that's the preferred function name. The functions dsm() and dpm() are identical. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://drupal.org/project/ninesixtyrobots">960 Robots</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/_nxwMGkihoWaDVYfInZ4q3TaEWCYng-Qcz6coJE3ruM.jpg.jpg8012011-11-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/using-image-styles-views2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Using Image Styles with ViewsYou can use custom image sizes for automatic display in your Views! We already know that being able to set a standard for image display creates consistency and a better user experience. It also makes it for easier site administration because you don’t need to cut all of you images before you upload them. Drupal does all the work for you!! Not only can we specify what the image will look like at the node-level, we can also specify what the image will look like in Views. I am assuming that you already know how to create custom image style presets, and are familiar with the Views module. For this tutorial, you need to make sure the Image module that comes with Drupal Core is enabled and that you have already downloaded and enabled the Views module along with its prerequisites. We will use the example of a blog, where we add our scaled images to display in the listing. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/C7Fk0Lm158x2pPDcLpUK7qlI4wxaYnUIINYemxH0oTc.jpg.jpg3452011-06-22no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/using-theme-developer-module2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Using the Theme Developer ModuleWalks through the process of enabling the theme developer module and showing the themer info, which is like Firebug for Drupal theming. You can choose specific elements on the page to see what Drupal template files or theme functions were involved with outputting it to the screen. You can easily look at the candidate template names that are available, as well as see all of the variables that are available from that template file. A list of documented variables can be found within the node module's <em>node.tpl.php</em> file, but sometimes there are undocumented variables that are coming from contributed modules or elsewhere. It's a super handy tool to have available, but only enable it when you really need it since it can adversely affect the mark-up on your page and cause some wonky behavior. Additional notes: The Theme Developer module is on Drupal.org at http://drupal.org/project/devel_themer. Once you find a module on Drupal.org, you can see the "machine name" for the module in the URL (it is the same name as is used to for the module's .info file as well). That is the name that Drush uses. So, in this instance, Drush is looking for "devel_themer". <code>drush dl devel_themer</code> <h3>Additional resources</h3> https://www.drupal.org/project/devel_themerhttp://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/9hfy00FJ0h7a99MLsU1T6q3U_FDd8R4d8EraeleZg4w.jpg.jpg3742011-10-04no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/creating-dynamic-templates-specific-node-types2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Creating Dynamic Templates for Specific Node TypesShows how to create a theme template suggestion for a specific node type. In this chapter, we create a dynamic template for the article node type by copying the node.tpl.php into a node--article.tpl.php where the 'article' is the machine-readable name for the article content type. We add some specific styling to the node author submission information as well as the date. We also discuss how Drupal looks for the most specific template suggestion (i.e. the node id), then moves to more and more generalized template files like the content type, and then the node.tpl.php as the most general. The Drupal.org documentation page that we look at can be found at http://drupal.org/node/1089656. Additional notes: The <code>field_tags</code> variable relates to the corresponding tags field on the article content type. For every field you have on your node the <code>$content</code> variable will contain the rendered content of that node in a key that is the name of the field. So in this case <code>$content['field_tags']</code> contains all of the tags applied to the node. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/1089656">Drupal 7 Template (Theme Hook) Suggestions</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/7xMTvPTZCJ6SbT-qWIaSlLR1_I0nfeymhNAwqRBp0oo.jpg.jpg4932011-10-04no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/attachments-and-caching-render-api2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Attachments and Caching with the Render API<p>This chapter walks through how you can conditionally add either JavaScript or CSS to a content element as well as how to cache the content with Drupal&#39;s caching system. Additional notes: The cache will clear the first time cron.php is run AFTER whatever time you&#39;ve specified as the cache expiration date in your code. Which you could easily calculate to be 30 seconds in the future and then store that timestamp in the database. However, you would also need to make sure that cron was running frequently enough to clear the cache every 30 seconds.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/api/render-arrays/render-arrays-overview">Render Arrays overview</a> (Drupal.org)http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/svIsfmsLOlwG4QkOVQPkjg3c5Q2yZLfZnJZgueRlVmA.jpg.jpg5962011-12-14no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/displaying-day-colorbox2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Displaying Day in Colorbox<p>In this video Karen will show you how to create a date pop-up on your calendar, using the <a href="http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox">ColorBox jQuery plugin</a>.

There are always new shortcuts you can learn. Another great shortcut <code>!$.</code>. It's similar to <code>!!</code>, but instead of repeating the last command, it repeats the last argument given. This sequence of commands shows how the shortcut could be used: <code>mkdir sites/default/files</code> followed by <code>chmod a+w !$</code>.

Additional notes: If you want to touch code, you can edit the .info file as such (for the first part, moving branding zone): settings[alpha_region_branding_zone] = 'header' ... settings[alpha_region_branding_weight] = '3' ... settings[alpha_region_header_first_weight] = '1' ... settings[alpha_region_header_second_weight] = '2' http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/V02GaRYtN7Ntflcchky45VXa-zFwdMKqffGvxoSnuNA.jpg.jpg6442012-11-07no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/using-jquery-selectors2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Using jQuery Selectors<p>Use jQuery selectors to locate and select elements on the page. jQuery selectors operate much like CSS3 seletors. Start out simple by selecting elements by tag, DOM id, or class name. Then get more advanced and select form elements based on their current state, and complex n-th child selectors. Additional notes: As a result of Drupal 7 using jQuery in no conflict mode, the jQuery object is not automatically assigned to the global $ symbol. The easiest way to get around this in Firebug or Webkit Inspector is to just use jQuery(&#39;element&#39;); or do $ = jQuery; and then use the $ as per usual. If you take a look at the JS files in Drupal 7 you&#39;ll see that they almost all use an anonymous closure in order to assign the $ variable. Something like the following. <code>(function ($) { // Add your code here and use $ as per usual. })(jQuery);</code></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/S1oO-RhEB3MJU6wxIpzlpOjTABZaZ7XPoILoh8YWuts.jpg.jpg9632010-03-31no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/drupalbehaviors-and-drupal-specific-javascript2025-05-16T21:49Zyearly0.9Drupal.behaviors and Drupal-Specific JavaScriptGoes into depth about some of the JavaScript constructs and tools that Drupal provides when writing JavaScript for Drupal.

A question we are commonly asked is: how did your production environment recognize the new feature? Answer: Reverting a feature reverts it back to what is in code. So by updating the code it always looks to the code so there is no need to revert it. You usually revert a feature if you have made changes that are stored in the database and you need it to look back to the code as your database changes are not what you wanted or are wrong. If the changes you made in the database are what you want, then you update/recreate the feature. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/zwFBaSgm84edREmK-VMiCybWH6o0J-y9viAe0dKj9HU.jpg.jpg6102013-02-06no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/combining-conditions2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Combining ConditionsThis screencast explains how to use AND and OR groups in Rules to configure more complex conditions.

We’ll look at implementing a minimum viable hook_entity_info, talk about the relationship between the Entity API and the Schema API and use entity_load to retrieve a single entity record from the database. Note, although it would be considered best practices to name the entity with the name of the module, e.g. videoentity_video, we did not include the module name prefix here because it is tedious to type it all out and to say "videoentity_video" without confusing people. In the next lesson we'll cover the various <a href="videos/introduction-entity-classes">entity classes</a> and how they work. However, if you just want to get straight to using your entity and doing things like <code>$entity = entity_load();</code> you'll need to declare a controller for your new entity type. Simply add this <code>'controller class' => 'EntityAPIController'</code> in <code>hook_entity_info()</code>. That will get you started, and well talk about what exactly that line does in the next lesson. <strong>Note:</strong> the video doesn't mention the <code>'primary key'</code> element in the schema array (although it is in the code).

It takes a few configurations but gives you lots of flexibility with your images and placing them into the text area. We also demonstrate how you can use the FileField Sources module to make the insert module that much better when it comes to media management. Note: not all Drupal modules provide access to images that are uploaded using a different toolkit.

Just make sure the array you are building matches the name of the variable you are returning. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupalize.me/videos/creating-submitting-and-validating-simple-form">Form validation in Drupal</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/GPag0o_QY65Ia7FTzMWBnZU2D_5GPXNhobYcaDXVpGc.jpg.jpg13592011-12-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-devel-module2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9An Overview of the Devel ModuleThis video walks through the handy devel module from http://drupal.org/project/devel and demonstrates the tools it provides for debugging, inspecting and analyzing the code and SQL queries happening on your site. In this video you'll also learn about some of the helper functions built into the devel module that make it simpler to inspect the large nested arrays that you'll commonly come across when writing code for Drupal. You may not have heard of the function dsm() before now. It is a legacy function and dpm() is the newer name. The two functions are identical since dsm() is just a wrapper for dpm(). The idea is that dsm() was a poor name for the function, it's short for drupal set message, but what was later decided that drupal print (as in print_r) message was better. The difference between those two and kpr() is that dpm() does a permissions check to make sure the current user has permission to view devel's output, and then puts the krumo'd variable dump into the message queue via drupal_set_message(). This means that dpm() will work and let you see the output even if you're redirected. Great for debugging forms. kpr() just krumo's and dumps the value right here, right now. No permission check, no regard for where the content is being spit out. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/KkYCXS34fPh2zdcAu_5UaXpnuHiuGC9e0Zmmr8X5eg4.jpg.jpg8362011-11-22no https://drupalize.me/blog/wowza-thats-fast2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-jquery-concepts2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Overview of jQuery Concepts<p>First look at basic fundamentals of jQuery&#39;s syntax and usage. Learn about using the $ function, jQuery selectors for finding elements on the page, creating new DOM elements, and browser detection. In addition to selecting elements on the page we&#39;ll introduce the basics of jQuery effects and events. Note: In D7 developers are encouraged to add a jQuery wrapper around JavaScript. <code>(function ($) { // Original JavaScript code. })(jQuery);</code> When using Firebug console you need to use jQuery instead of $. <code>&gt;&gt;&gt; jQuery(&#39;.title&#39;)</code> Drupal 7 uses jQuery in no-conflict mode meaning you need to wrap your code in an anonymous function and pass the jQuery object into the function. This is a pretty common practice now days and is actually a better way to write jQuery in general rather than always assuming that jQuery is the $ symbol. But, it means in the console you need to use either jQuery(&#39;selector) or $ = jQuery;</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/lMXX4U74DXox4OjyoUQWdkc6zpiOjBalp1xppw7fyfU.jpg.jpg2672010-03-31no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/exporting-roles-and-permissions-features2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Exporting Roles and Permissions in FeaturesOne thing we haven't looked at in our feature yet is Drupal roles and permissions.

In this video we introduce the Features Plumber module and show you how to use it to finely control your dependencies. We are sometimes asked how Features can be removed. Since a Feature is just a normal module, you can disable it on your module administration page, and even uninstall and completely remove it from your modules folder. That will completely remove the feature from your site. <strong>Note:</strong> The <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/features_plumber">Features plumber</a> module is no longer necessary if you're using Features with Drupal 7. The functionality provided by this module has been included into newer versions of the Features module. So as long as your Features module is up-to-date you should be good to go.

She will first demonstrate how to use the built-in features that come with Organic Groups to construct a basic group and group panel. She explains how this can be done using the features module. She then demonstrates using the new Panelizer module to create a system where every group can have its own layout and content. Note: Karen enabled the Features module then separately enabled the OG Example feature, which has a dependency on Panels and other modules so basically Features enabled them. If you actually enable that feature on the modules page it will tell you that panels is required and asks to install it.

The function <pre>function form_fun_cake(&$form_state)</pre> is missing the $form paramater and should instead be <pre>function form_fun_cake($form, &$form_state)</pre> Curious about when you're supposed to translate "title" and when you should leave it alone? Here's the answer: You don't need to translate the 'title' attribute of an array that defines a menu item because Drupal will take care of that automatically. In fact, you shouldn't translate those as they'll end up getting double translated if you do. This is because Drupal end's up using this string of text in a number of different ways some of which don't actually need to be translated and others that do like for example when it's the title of a page or the text of a link in the menu system. The #title (and #description) property for elements in Form API array however are your responsibility to translate. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/fAkUjmbYGTV4RsvGw4PFrGltyj50km2aF99H4RxlFxc.jpg.jpg9892011-12-21no https://drupalize.me/course/about-using-drupal-series-preface2024-07-03T00:02Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/using-drupal-book-and-video-series2023-08-11T00:46Znever0.9The Using Drupal Book and Video SeriesIn this lesson, we are going to see how the book relates to each of the series we have, and how each of the individual series are organized.

In this lesson we're going to take a look at what that source code provides for us, where we can get a copy of, and how to use it. We'll go through the installation process, as well as see how we can switch between chapters in the source code without destroying work you've done on previous chapters. It is important to note that using the source code is very important if you want the lessons to match what is in the lessons. Drupal modules can change a lot over time, and the source code is designed to exactly match what is covered in the lessons. Once you've learned the basics of a chapter by working through the source code, you can upgrade your modules and explore the differences in newer versions, with the base understanding you've gained from the lesson. <strong>Warning: Since this Drupal code is several years old, you must use PHP 5.3. PHP 5.4 or higher will not work. You will need to make sure your server is using PHP 5.3 in order to use this code properly. Many all-in-one servers, like WAMP, MAMP, and XAMPP provide older versions of PHP and a way to switch back and forth between versions.</strong> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> <strong>Up next: </strong><a href="https://drupalize.me/series/using-drupal-chapter-1-drupal-overview">Using Drupal Chapter 1: Drupal Overview</a> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/xuTrJQDGwYl2O31br2DgtvPLESfCQqQ2e8oTK88utm0.jpg.jpg12662013-07-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/about-using-drupal-series2023-08-11T00:46Znever0.9About the Using Drupal SeriesThe Using Drupal series of lessons walks through the O'Reilly book, <em>Using Drupal</em>, written by Angie Byron, Addison Berry, and Bruno de Bondt. We use the second edition, which covers Drupal 7. The book starts off with taking a look at Drupal Core and then works through various case studies using a wide range of contributed modules from the Drupal project. The video series follows along with what's in the book, so if you have the book, the videos are really great supplemental material. Even without the book, you’ll get the full lessons here in the videos. This series is intended for people who have worked with the web and understand how a website gets delivered, and in particular, how to get a website onto a web server so that people can actually see it and use it. The rest of this introductory series we have here will look at how the book relates to the video series we're going to be creating, and how you can use those 2 together. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/IGn1lG1qTEY-GaR7f4dGuALRARgAL9fQKD29P_UQUWc.jpg.jpg2312013-07-03no https://drupalize.me/course/using-drupal-appendix-installing-and-upgrading-drupal2020-03-05T23:43Znever0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/install-drupal-72023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Install Drupal 7<p>Once you have met all of the requirements and gathered the information you need, you can get down to the installation.

We learn about the major components of a Drupal site and the library of constantly evolving tools available for working with Drupal. We find out how to see who uses it, by looking at DrupalShowcase.com and Drupal case studies on Drupal.org, among others. We look at Drupal's major features, such as Modules. With this overview we have some context as we move forward into the series. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.drupal.org/case-studies">Drupal Case Studies</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/qJStIJXGcDCmaqwQopsh3ZYX8jpgCKiha_Anh7aRK28.jpg.jpg4472013-07-10no https://drupalize.me/blog/new-closed-captioning-feature-enhances-learning-comprehension2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/brief-history-content-management2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9A Brief History of Content ManagementDrupal is a great tool for working on the web, but to give it some context, in this lesson we're going to take a quick step back in time, and understand the history of working on the web and look at how the tools that Drupal provides match up with problems encountered over the years of web development. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/45lhkOvyhuTeOBMyH9PAB4cMKQoJh49MCH4q9ye15J4.jpg.jpg4732013-07-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/how-does-drupal-work2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9How Does Drupal Work?<p>In this lesson we&#39;re going to break down the &quot;Drupal stack&quot; to understand what pieces are working here and how they relate to each other.

Being an open source project, Drupal has an amazing community of people who have paved this road before you. In this lesson we're going to look at the free community resources that you can use to not only find answers to your questions, but also connect with thousands of people around the world who are working in the same space you are. -- We are going to take a tour of the communtiy documentation, various Drupal forums, project issue queues, where you can glean a lot of useful information and help, Internet Relay Chat, or IRC, for real-time collaboration, and getting in touch with user groups of like-minded people around the world. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/documentation">Drupal.org Documentation</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/troubleshooting">Drupal.org Troubleshooting Guide</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/forum">Drupal.org Forums</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupal.stackexchange.com/">Drupal Answers on Stack Exchange</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/irc">Drupal.org IRC listing</a></p> <p><a href="http://groups.drupal.org">Drupal Groups Site (groups.drupal.org)</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> <strong>Up next: </strong><a href="https://drupalize.me/series/using-drupal-chapter-2-drupal-jumpstart">Using Drupal Chapter 2: Drupal Jumpstart</a> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/TWqHBvUnprOEJdcZVS8azS2r_ejGJI-9F-EcAUPJ8Ms.jpg.jpg8562013-07-10no https://drupalize.me/course/using-drupal-chapter-2-drupal-jumpstart2024-07-03T00:03Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-content-management2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Content ManagementIn this lesson we're going to start building our site for Mom and Pop, Inc. We're starting off by working on our content, to get things filled out a little. First, we'll create an About Us page with the basic info for the store, like address and opening hours. Then we'll create our first article, which welcomes people to the new site, and see how the two core content types, Basic page and Article, are different from each other. Then we'll tweak our main navigation so our tabs display correctly, and finish things off by looking at block management. We'll remove the "Powered by Drupal" block and add a new block to the site for our weekly specials. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O'Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/1NrGUMFe8D7xnepUt5goVOAHt6iEXTzZIf4EVMLSk-o.jpg.jpg7772013-07-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/spotlight-content-management2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Spotlight: Content Management<p>This lesson offers a tour of some of the most basic tools for content management in Drupal.

Readers who are familiar with Drupal already may still want to skim through this, as later series in the <a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Using Drupal guide</a> will assume knowledge of all content covered here. By the end, you&rsquo;ll understand how to perform administrative tasks in Drupal, such as configuring modules, working with content types, and setting up site navigation.

For assistance with that, check out the <a href="http://drupalize.me/series/using-drupal-appendix-installing-and-upgrading-drupal">Appendix A series, on Installing and Updating Drupal</a>, as well as the helpful <a href="http:// drupal.org/getting-started">Drupal.org Getting Started guide</a>.</p> <p>To get things started with Drupal, we&#39;re going to build out a very basic website. The Mom &amp; Pop, Inc. site project will cover many of the basic pieces you need to grasp the fundamentals of building with Drupal, and are a good foundation for the other series we&#39;ll be doing from Using Drupal. We&#39;ll take a tour through the administrative settings, create and manage content, work with modules and users, as well as changing the look of our new site.

A big part of understanding how themes can change your layout lies in understanding blocks and regions, so we&#39;ll cover what those are, and why they&#39;re important.

The Field module allows you to customize entry forms for entities, nodes and users, and comments. The Views module is the perfect counterpart to Field in that instead of putting content into your site through an entry form, Views allows you to get that content back out again in the way that you want. In this lesson, we're going to be looking at building a job posting board for a university. We'll examine our case study and what it is that we need to do for this job posting board. Drupal core provides this site with a lot of good starting pieces, but we're also going to need to use some additional modules. We're going to focus on the core Field and Field UI and File field in order to create the custom forms that we need for the input for jobs and applications. If you'd like to follow along with this series, you should install the Using Drupal Source Code and use the Chapter 3 Job Posting Board Installation Profile during the installation process, <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/_OgQrMlAhc2nknojHefJpWkz6lO2VoaHPSjmb90LtLI.jpg.jpg4442013-08-14no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/spotlight-field-and-field-ui-modules2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Spotlight: Field and Field UI ModulesThe Field module provides an extremely flexible framework for creating forms to enter content.

To get started with our job posting website, let’s think about the different content types needed to build all the functionality that we require. The site requires two different types: a Job Posting and a Job Application. In this lesson we'll map out our content type needs, and see what fields were going to use. Then we'll create the Job content type, making sure we add needed fields and set permissions so that it is working as expected. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/DOxnaNI9nLCHloVhLdvfw2G6KccboL2Vg6FUqE1e_xY.jpg.jpg8412013-08-14no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/spotlight-references-module2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Spotlight: References ModuleThe References module is a contributed module that allows you to create relationships between nodes and/or users.

In this lesson we'll take a look at the beer and wine import examples provided with the migrate module as a way to familiarize ourselves with the concepts discussed earlier and to be able to see the code that makes up a basic migration before attempting to write our own.

In this lesson we&#39;ll obtain some source data to work with and configure our Drupal site by installing a couple contributed modules, and creating the content types and fields necessary for our information architecture. During this process we&#39;ll also be taking a look at the baseball player and team data that we&#39;ll be importing and familiarizing ourselves a bit more with the tables and columns in our source database.</p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> The Lahman database structure has changed since this video was recorded, and the latest files provided by Lahman don't match what is used in the video.

In this lesson we'll look at setting up Drupal to be able to connect to multiple databases, and then create the skeleton of a simple module which will house our custom migration code and an implementation of hook_migrate_api(). Finally we'll create a base class from which we can begin writing our own custom migrations, and talk about why this is a good way to start organizing our migration. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/JMChg03E7eaVdjF_qCqoO91O5Em7SpJigv9cQa6bLC4.jpg.jpg7382013-10-02no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/write-simple-migration-class2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Write a Simple Migration ClassIn this lesson we're going to write our first custom data migration and start importing some of the player data in to Drupal. The primary concepts covered in this lesson are the creation of a migration class following the pattern necessary for Migrate module to be able to discover our code and then dealing with defining source and destination objects so that the Migrate module will know where to read data from and where to write data to. Finally we'll add a simple single field mapping where we map the player's name to the node.title field allowing us to run the migration for the first time and import some real data. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://drupal.org/node/1006984">Migration class documentation</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/developing/api/schema">Schema API documentation</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/159605">Schema API data types</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/JjglP7beizfOqcq1fclwnMzE2Vt4gM4P1TuWhh-6NJE.jpg.jpg12272013-10-02no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/migrate-field-mappings2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Migrate Field MappingsIn this lesson we'll continue to add field mappings to the basic migration class created in the previous lesson.

We'll map more of the player source data fields to their equivalent destination fields and learn about some of the many ways that fields can be mapped. Finally we'll also cover mapping sub-fields which allows us to import data for things like the text format of a node's body field or the alt column in an image field.

We&#39;ll learn about the use of field mapping callback functions and the migration&#39;s prepareRow method as possible spots to perform additional logic during a migration. Then we&#39;ll use these techniques to combine our player first and last name fields together for the node title field, deal with our birth and death date fields by concatenating the three source columns together into a single date string, and finally add some additional information to the notes field during import that will allow us to track imported records in the future.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Note:&nbsp;</strong>This lesson was recorded using the 7.x-2.6 version of the date module, however the 7.x-2.7 version is now out which contains some changes to the module&#39;s integration with the migrate module.

We've already seen some of this in previous lessons with with the Do Not Migrate option for fields and ability to provide field mapping descriptions. In this lesson we'll take a look at how we can make use of the additional tools to do things like; Show the name, contact info, and roles of individuals working on the migration, pose questions to other team members via the migration UI, and link individual field mappings to related tickets in our bug tracking software. Making it easier for team members who don't want to be involved with the code to help move our migration along. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://drupal.org/node/1133448">Field Mappings documentation</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/H4np7JXDFFQwcCpb5Td6pZkEtedUEp3fOB1OB12a6d0.jpg.jpg7112013-10-09no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/using-sourcemigrations-add-related-data2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Using Sourcemigrations to Add Related DataIn this lesson we're going to take a look at creating relationships between two Drupal nodes during a migration. In our case we've got player and team nodes, and each player node has an entity reference to a team node which we need to populate during our migration. In order for this to work we need to ensure that the team node has already been created so that we know the unique node.nid to use in the entity reference field for the player. To accomplish this we're going to write a migration for team data and ensure that it is run prior to our player migration being run. Then we're going to make use of the mapping between source and destination rows that the Migrate module is tracking for teams so that during a player migration we can lookup the corresponding team node's nid and make use of it. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/sE2WsCby4rnV89orZ5Hs3j_5LQv2nhrrH_i9lQt7twE.jpg.jpg11722013-10-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/map-multi-value-fields-separator-method2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Map Multi-Value Fields with the Separator MethodThis lesson is a short one but it covers an important topic, multi-value fields. Almost any field in Drupal can be configured to support more than one value being entered for a single field. Our teams entityreference field is a good example of this, a player could have played for one or more team over the course of their career. This lesson will look at two different ways to map multiple values for a single field. First we'll look at doing it in a callback method where we perform an additional query and then use the values returned by that query. And second we'll look at using the field mapping's separator method to take a column in a source row that has multiple values separated by a comma and import them as individual field values. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/R7tm5XhaMf1VkK0TMrSDnAfKyGro8-HgTbjsphJ9QV8.jpg.jpg6652013-10-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-migrate-stubs2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Create Migrate StubsThe infamous causality dilemma of the chicken and the egg examines which of the two came first constantly battling with the fact that you need one to produce the other. It's a vicious circle. In this lesson we're going to explore this dilemma in the context of data migrations. Imagine a scenario where you've got an article node type that has a reference field for similar articles which you need to populate with the node ID of the similar articles. During a migration when the article is being imported the article that is being referenced may or may not exist already. If it doesn't exist already how do we know what ID we need to put into the reference field? One option would be to solve this problem using multiple passes. A first pass that goes through and creates all the articles, and a second that comes back through and updates the similar articles field. Though what happens if the similar articles field is required? You wouldn't be able to save the article without a value in that field the first time around? So you see how this quickly becomes another example of the chicken or the egg problem? Lucky for us the migrate module has a solution to this called stub migrations. A process that allows creating a stub or a shell for the referenced but not yet created article so that we can use it's unique ID, then when that article is encountered in the migration it will update the stub rather than create a new article. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/1013506">Migrate stub documentation</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/-eDyNZxHvivpJFgXw03Dl-uK2KQmvef2M3lZDPS8EAk.jpg.jpg6312013-10-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/migrate-source-classes2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Migrate Source Classes<p>So far all the data we&#39;ve been migrating has come from a MySQL database but Migrate supports a number of other data sources which we can access by using a different source migration class. In this lesson we&#39;ll look at the source migration classes that are available with the migrate module and talk about what each one could be used for.

In this lesson we'll take a look at the destination classes that the Migrate module provides for us and talk about what each one is used for and where to find more information and examples of using them. Then we'll implement a migration that imports data as vocabulary terms using the MigrateDestinationTerm class. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://drupal.org/node/1006988">Migrate Destination Classes documentation</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/4NlqQNHLfVuvPOr3s-yivOo_8XN5-UdPn7xQm0nHhJs.jpg.jpg7902013-10-23no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/strategies-resolving-migrate-failures2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Strategies for Resolving Migrate FailuresIt's almost unheard of to write a data import that just works on the first try. Our examples have all been written using data that is known to be in good shape, and to be honest we've avoided even trying to import some of the data because it ended up being problematic and we wanted to focus on working with the Migrate module and not debugging the problems in your source data. In the real world though, you're going to end up with problematic rows in your source data and you'll need to get them resolved. In this lesson we'll run the complete player migration and end up with a couple of rows that fail to import because of an oversight in our code. We can use the migrate UI to get a sense of what is failing and why. Then we'll use a combination of options available to the drush migrate command and some strategically placed print_r's to debug and resolve the problem rows. Finally, we'll use a trick to get the Migrate module to re-import all the problem rows but not the already imported rows. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/jpe6sOc3ut14Pd8Cqym4QT9ADOGr_cZUUgC70WHqtv8.jpg.jpg7412013-10-23no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/migrate-module-overview2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Migrate Module Overview<p>This lesson includes a short presentation that explains the basics terminology and architecture of the migrate module and the components that make up a custom data migration.

Once that's setup we'll take a high level look at the migrate module's UI and drush commands to familiarize ourselves with the tools that we'll be using throughout the rest of the series. This will also help formalize some of concepts introduced in the previous lesson. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupal.org/project/migrate">Migrate module project page</a> <a href="https://drupal.org/node/2029049">migrate-7.x-2.6-rc1 download</a> <a href="https://drupal.org/node/415260">Migrate module documentation</a> <a href="http://drupalize.me/series/introduction-drush-series">Introduction to Drush series</a> <a href="https://github.com/DrupalizeMe/drupal7-migrate-series-base">Drupalize.Me Migrate module series code on GitHub</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/pV-ya9WMXcstJOzoAL6-EWx9vzWQ0gjMx5kXDTP99vA.jpg.jpg7462013-09-18no https://drupalize.me/blog/release-day-finishing-dates2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/introduction-migrate-module-series2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9 Introduction to the Migrate Module Series<p>This series is focused on using the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/migrate">Migrate module</a> to import data that exists in various different sources into a Drupal 7 website. The Migrate module provides an extremely flexible and robust framework for accessing data from various sources and importing or migrating that data to Drupal. With built in support for creating core Drupal data types likes nodes, users, and taxonomy terms, the Migrate module is one of the best solutions available for importing content into Drupal.</p> <p>This series kicks off with Joe Shindelar explaining the basic components that make up a data migration, and the terminology and code that is specific to the Migrate module. Then continues with a series of lessons that take you from installing the Migrate module to writing and running your own custom data migration.</p> <p>Throughout the series Joe teaches us how to run a data migration using both the Migrate module&#39;s UI and drush, and some of the plusses and minuses of both methods. Joe also talks about the various different sources, or types of data, from which the Migrate module can read data and how to map the unique fields in a row of source data to their corresponding Drupal content types and fields.</p> <p>By migrating from a single source into two different Drupal content types we&#39;ll also have the opportunity to learn about creating relationships during a migration and mapping the resulting information to an entity reference field. During the course of writing a custom migration Joe will show us how and where we can add code to perform additional runtime data munging during our import process. We&#39;ll learn about importing data into multi-value fields, and even providing defaults for fields that don&#39;t have information. Then we'll look at some of the tools the migrate module provides for collaborating with team members in order to create a successful migration path.</p> <p>Finally we&#39;ll wrap up the series by looking at a couple of different techniques for debugging our migrations and dealing with pesky source material that just doesn&#39;t want to be imported.</p> <p>Because this series is focused primarily on writing custom data migrations, and since the Migrate module itself requires at least some amount of code to be written to perform a migration, it is suggested that students be familiar with PHP and basic Object Oriented Programming techniques. Although not required to run a migration, Joe uses the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/drush">drush</a> command line tool extensively in this series. If you need a refresher on using drush take a moment to watch our <a href="http://drupalize.me/series/coding-drush-series">drush series</a>.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupal.org/project/migrate">Migrate module — Drupal.org</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Ic0da3CyG0rjfW3cgZmQKqx0Qgn8IhRgDlrx_OjbIpU.jpg.jpg3702013-09-18no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/run-migrations-drush2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Run Migrations with DrushIn this lesson we'll take a look at running migrations via <a href="http://drupal.org/project/drush">drush</a> rather than via the Migrate module's UI. We'll take a look at the commands provided by the Migrate module and talk about what they do. Then we'll practice running, rolling back, and otherwise interacting with migrations via drush commands. Throughout the lesson we'll learn about some of the functionality you get from running migrations via drush that are not provided by the UI, like the ability to specify a single record to migrate with the <code>--idlist</code> flag. Finally we'll learn about why in most cases drush is a better tool for running large data migrations because of the limitations imposed on the UI. Pay close attention to this lesson since throughout the remainder of this series we'll be running all of our migrations via drush. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupal.org/project/drush">Drush project</a> <a href="http://drupalize.me/series/introduction-drush-series">Introduction to Drush series</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/UkjrH3DiSbWhrtFIjWk0wkvFsXCxQGOGTT39tUq6QGI.jpg.jpg7512013-09-25no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/run-migrations-migrate-ui2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Run Migrations with the Migrate UI<p>In this lesson we&#39;ll take a more in-depth look at the migrate module&#39;s UI with a focus on being able to identify and execute custom migrations. For now we&#39;ll work with the provided example migrations just so that we have something to work with. Throughout the lesson we&#39;ll learn how to run a migration to import it&#39;s data into Drupal, rollback a migration that was previously run in order to set a clean slate, and other ways we can interact with a migration via the UI. Then we&#39;ll discuss some of the challenges inherit in running migrations via the UI and Drupal&#39;s Batch API and how to identify them.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://drupal.org/node/1806824">Why you should run migrations in Drush rather than the UI</a></li> <li><a href="https://drupal.org/node/1958170">Running imports and rollbacks from the UI via drush</a></li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/pAlx7mTvkYbuDiMIZRfS9exlo-W4Mb8l3onUsF2Fqbc.jpg.jpg5682013-09-25no https://drupalize.me/blog/release-day-more-dates-views-and-repeating-events2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/blog/everything-you-wanted-know-about-dates2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/course/using-drupal-chapter-4-media-management2024-07-20T00:02Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/spotlight-image-styles2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Spotlight: Image StylesWhen you’re uploading photos to a website, it’s important to ensure that they are displayed at the right size. Otherwise, when you upload an exceptionally large image, chances are good that it will break your site’s layout. To prevent this, you’ll want to scale these images so that they’re a consistent size, and create thumbnails for use in listing pages. Image styles are a feature that’s part of Drupal core’s Image module, and it provides these options and many more for displaying images. In this lesson we'll get an overview of the core image styles feature so that we understand how it works, which styles and effects we have to work with, and some tips for troubleshooting when your images don't display properly. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/node/717772">Clean URL documentation</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/MoZYUE_ps2y2Zzl70Qm19LyKLgpIoKvcpZ-nq2eoikQ.jpg.jpg10962013-11-06no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/case-study-band-wagon2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Case Study: Band Wagon<p>In this lesson, we take a look at our Band Wagon case study, and then we'll go through our implementation plan and see how we're going to tackle this one. In our case study, John and Lisa decide to make a website to share information about all the music they love, including videos, photos and reviews, and they want their friends have a voice on the site as well.</p> <p>First of all, they need to be able to upload images to the site, and have an image that's small in one location but full-sized in other locations. We'll want to embed some videos, as well.</p> <p>Their friends don't know how to write HTML, so we let them use a simple form to select media, and maybe reuse other people's images. We want to provide them with a WYSIWYG tool bar, an editor that helps them write HTML without coding.</p> <p>How will this work? We'll use Drupal Core's Image Module and image styles, and expand the Media Module. For our WYSIWYG editor we're going to use the WYSIWYG Module, and then we're going to need to get an editor that we can plug into it.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/tqtgav_8i2qXsri14gG0sw-CQtGgMI2s6tU2vq3NeAI.jpg.jpg3872013-11-06no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-image-styles2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Image StylesBefore we can nicely publish our favorite bands’ photos on our website, we need to make sure to set up image styles, in order to create scaled-down versions of the images while leaving the original images intact.

At its core, Media provides a framework to manage media assets on a Drupal site, regardless of whether those assets exist on the site’s server or somewhere else on the Internet. Media has had much active development over time, and was a moving target when Using Drupal was written, so the latest version of Media is a fair bit different from the version we cover in this lesson, "2.0-unstable3." Version 2 of Media is very, very different from version 1, which is a much older version. We highly recommend that you learn the fundamental pieces of Media 2.0 using the source code that comes with the book and is covered in the About the Using Drupal series. That will allow you to follow the lesson without getting lost in the changes. Then, when you upgrade to the latest version down the road, you will have a solid foundation to explore the newer versions. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/project/media">Media Module project</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/FYoa7enJDtA6gVx-GLHHbAp2pV1OT-tqMpK31Ra1Aho.jpg.jpg10852013-11-13no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-music-review-content-type2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Music Review Content TypeTo get our music reviews built, we need to get started with a new content type.

In this lesson we&#39;ll take a look at:</p> <ul> <li>the design we&#39;ll be working with</li> <li>variations of this design created by other students</li> <li>how Drupal was customized to accommodate our design</li> <li>the Sass used to create the layout for the site</li> </ul> <p>By the end of this lesson you&#39;ll be able to describe the shape of the design used throughout this series, and identify variants of the design.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/project/domicile">Domicile theme</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/project/ninesixty">Nine Sixty base theme</a></p> <p><a href="http://kidactive.ca">KidActive site</a></p> <p><a href="http://digitisethedawn.org/">Digitise the Dawn</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/4cZimDSLbJ7R_9PN_XWc_Qyu3mL5dGEKEmDLLGXfznE.jpg.jpg2772013-12-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/theming-component2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Theming by Component<p>In this lesson we&#39;re going to learn about the front end development strategy of theming by components. This strategy relies on being able to break a design into individual components. Elsewhere on the Web this technique has been described as &ldquo;atomic design&rdquo; or &ldquo;interface pattern pairing&rdquo;. No matter what you call it, developing a pattern library of components is going to make it a lot easier to convert your design to a theme. This is an overview lesson that explains the strategy we&#39;ll be using in future lessons. More specifically, we&#39;ll look at:</p> <ul> <li>two popular pattern libraries</li> <li>an overview of how pages are built by Drupal so they can be rendered in a browser</li> </ul> <p>By the end of this lesson you&#39;ll be able to identify components from a static design file by referencing a pattern library.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://bradfrostweb.com/blog/post/atomic-web-design/">Atomic Design</a></p> <p><a href="http://smacss.com/">SMACSS</a> (Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS)</p> <p><a href="http://balsamiq.com/">Balsamiq Mockups</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/IMvSuqrIJw5FwOOZ0q0DhQXqDxX-4ifo8yDdcdx3Wd0.jpg.jpg4812013-12-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-theme-style-guide2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Create a Theme Style Guide<p>Over the last couple of years we&#39;ve seen the rise of object oriented CSS. There&#39;s been a lot of work done by smart folks to categorize different types of rules that we use to style our sites. We&#39;re going to take advantage of this work and use it to create a style guide. This foundation piece will help us to map the elements in our static design to the elements that we will build, and theme, in Drupal.In this lesson we&#39;ll create a style guide from our design with:</p> <ul> <li>Base rules</li> <li>Layout rules</li> <li>Component rules</li> </ul> <p>By the end of this lesson you will be able to create a text-based style guide of your design which accurately describes your site according to base rules, layout rules, and component rules. You will be able to further supplement this style guide by adding relevant images which reference the exact component the style guide is describing.</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Fk1lhXx2jg_VqZaP2FNmKdzDhY6ulniUgHyCjjKYCPE.jpg.jpg7642013-12-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/extract-design-assets2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Extract Design Assets<p>In the previous lesson you created a text-based style guide. It&#39;s now time to extract the necessary assets from our static design for use in our theme. To complete this lesson you will need a design application capable of opening a .psd file. The video demonstrates Photoshop, but I typically use Gimp. Either is fine. And if you don&#39;t have a graphics program, you can watch the video, but simply download the assets which were extracted during the lesson. By the end of this lesson you will be able to identify page-level design assets which need to be extracted from a design file for your Drupal theme.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://www.gimp.org/">Gimp</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.photoshop.com/">Photoshop</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.pixelmator.com/">Pixelmator</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/j8DJd7ZZxGEAaTdy--VaMYe0cTQ2Da5h5BuF_vVuyDg.jpg.jpg4882013-12-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-css-stub-files2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Create CSS Stub Files<p>In this lesson we will convert the style guide into a series of stubs which we can view in a Web browser. The design was originally created using the templates from the <a href="http://960.gs/">960gs</a>. We&#39;ll use this same grid framework to ensure all of our margins are automatically adopted. Grid frameworks are excellent for rapid prototyping of designs. Ultimately many front end developers choose choose to write their own for the final theme; however, if you&#39;re just getting started try to stick with a grid framework to reduce the number of things that you need to fight with.</p> <p>The original theme that was created for this design used the <a href="https://drupal.org/project/ninesixty">NineSixty base theme</a>. There are some nifty features in this theme which are great for more complex designs; however, it is not responsive, and does not use Sass. To bring the lessons up-to-date we&#39;ll be using the 960-Compass Plugin to generate our stub files and give us some sample Sass output to work with.</p> <p>By the end of this lesson you will be able to convert a style guide to a series of stub files in Sass (or CSS) using SMACSS conventions and a grid framework.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://smacss.com">SMACSS</a> (Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS)&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://960.gs">960gs</a></p> <p><a href="https://github.com/nextmat/compass-960-plugin">960-Compass-Plugin</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/series/learning-sass-and-compass">Intro to Sass and Compass</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/yPby9krXWqopCKshh94bhDXfeX6rc7PrI8EmyIcqw1I.jpg.jpg15002013-12-18no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/layout-rules-css-stubs2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Layout Rules for CSS Stubs<p>In SMACSS there are both major and minor layout rules that need to be created. The major layout rules are often handled by a grid framework and are used to describe big areas on your site, such as your Drupal regions. The minor rules are used for the components (for example how a picture aligns next to a paragraph of text). In this lesson we&#39;ll start by review how Sass allows us to use semantic naming for our CSS layout classes. Then we&#39;ll adapt the sample Sass provided by the <a href="https://github.com/nextmat/compass-960-plugin">960 Compass Plugin</a> so that it uses the necessary structure for our design.</p> <p>By the end of this lesson, you will be able to implement the layout rules from your style guide as a Sass file using the 960 Compass Plugin as a reference.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://960.gs">960gs</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/project/drupal">Domicile Theme</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/ghwUkA4i3pNw5RCOheoSkK9nBBSdD714Rr4JWpGVpGc.jpg.jpg5032013-12-18no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-checklist-drupal-elements2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Create a Checklist of Drupal Elements<p>The final step before we step back into Drupal is to create a checklist for all the things we need to implement in Drupal. Using our style guide as a starting point, we&#39;ll ensure that every design decision which has been made can be implemented in Drupal. Your checklist might also include notes about which modules should be used to build each of the components from within Drupal. Creating a checklist might seem like a trivial task, but it&#39;s really important that you know exactly what you&#39;re about to build so that you don&#39;t get overwhelmed once you step into Drupal. By the end of this lesson you should be able to create a document with all the instructions, and notes you will need to apply your style guide to a Drupal site.</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Cc_td5IkeWz7OBYWvV6F8D0OUwMcDUdmla1x_s_LweU.jpg.jpg3862013-12-18no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/prepare-drupal-theming2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Prepare Drupal for Theming<p>Technically a theme can be installed onto any Drupal site, but it never quite works this way in real life. In this lesson we&#39;ll create a playground so that we can try out our theme before deploying it to a live server. We&#39;ll start by installing Drupal and adding some &ldquo;fake&rdquo; content and menus with the devel generate module. For these tasks we&#39;ll use Drupal&#39;s default theme, Bartik. By the end of this lesson you will be able to install Drupal in an environment where a development version of the theme can be safely tested.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://drupal.org/project/devel">Devel module</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/YhWOSXORsSllI373ipFbCD-8LV4Pyt_KkafX680goEQ.jpg.jpg3762014-01-01no https://drupalize.me/blog/release-day-site-building-blocks-and-themes2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/customize-image-styles2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Customize Image Styles<p>One of the most time consuming things a content editor can be forced to do is resize images before creating their content. Fortunately we can get Drupal to do the resizing for us. It&#39;s not perfect&mdash;it&#39;s just a plain resize, but it&#39;s enough for most basic sites. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to configure Drupal to resize images to your specification when they are uploaded using the image field type.</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/7aoQE0roFBsyszh4GhNALdrdKdGZh1KD1QStqWfdDsc.jpg.jpg5352014-01-01no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-and-place-custom-blocks2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Create and Place Custom Blocks<p>It&#39;s pretty typical for a site to have one or two pieces of content that need to be easily edited, but also aren&#39;t nodes. For example: text in the footer. There are a number of ways to create this content. We&#39;ll use blocks to create this content as this is the easiest way to place content into a specific region without additional helper module. By the end of this lesson you will be able to create custom blocks, and place them into specific regions within your Drupal theme.</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/xr1RTohu_rHom1EDaBnjPZFEbKSB78lmrfIo9vtegPU.jpg.jpg2592014-01-01no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-theme-infrastructure2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Create the Theme Infrastructure<p>A base theme is someone&#39;s idea of a really great starting point. It might include the stub files for CSS overrides, template files which bring Drupal core&#39;s markup up-to-date with HTML5, useful theme overrides which create new template variables. In other words: a base theme can provide you with a lot of really great stuff! The first version of the Domicile Theme used the NineSixty base theme&mdash;just enough for a simple site, but not so much overhead that it was complicated to learn. This version of the theme doesn&#39;t use a base theme. That&#39;s because, thanks to Sass, we&#39;ll be able to get almost all of the power of the NineSixty base theme through a gem plug-in. In this lesson you will learn which folders are typically used to keep Drupal themes neat and tidy.</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/_XIW4ud_itcIHMI5__0jGLoLcvJlvyiYlAJvbUxqokE.jpg.jpg1552014-01-01no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/prepare-theme-info-file2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Prepare the Theme Info File<p>A theme is comprised of a collection of related files. Our completed theme will have CSS and PHP (with HTML fragments). To ensure all of these files are loaded, we need to tell Drupal where to find them, by listing the files in the theme&#39;s .info file. To begin working with our theme&#39;s info file we&#39;ll start with the only values which are required: name, version of Drupal core this theme can be applied to. We&#39;ll also add a few recommended pieces of information: description of the theme, the template engine, and a screen shot for easier selection of the theme from the administrative area. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to create an info file for a theme, and explore the relevant drupal.org handbook pages for more information on refining your theme&#39;s info file.</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/FY9m1dNs3z1WxMZ4LqjApKI3Wc8uURpNdY9G4dtgCMA.jpg.jpg2602014-01-08no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/incorporate-style-guide-stubs-theme2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Incorporate Style Guide Stubs into the Theme<p>Our main focus for the Domicile theme is restyling Drupal&#39;s markup with CSS. Although it is tempting to put all of your CSS into a single file, things can quickly grow out of control. In our theme we&#39;ll break our CSS into smaller stub files to make the theme easier to maintain using the file naming conventions for Drupal 8.By the end of this lesson you will be able to incorporate CSS files into your theme via the theme&#39;s .info file.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://drupal.org/node/1887922">CSS file organization</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/lNXwUqKRG9R5VHQSblzzYt-JlFJO0E7XvwWkS16L6FE.jpg.jpg3292014-01-08no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/establish-page-layout-structure-pagetplphp2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Establish Page Layout Structure with page.tpl.php<p>Drupal uses a series of nested template files to build out the rendered HTML pages we see in our browser. The template file page.tpl.php holds markup between &lt;body&gt; and &lt;/body&gt; tags. We talked about the nested nature of template files in Lesson 3: <a href="https://drupalize.me/videos/theming-component">Theming by Component</a>.</p> <p>In this lesson we will:</p> <ul> <li>create the file page.tpl.php</li> <li>add the relevant markup, and CSS classes for our grid framework</li> <li>insert relevant PHP variables so that Drupal can render each of its page components.</li> </ul> <p>By the end of this lesson you will be able to create, or adapt, a page.tpl.php file to suit the conventions you identified in your style guide.</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/KPNAFnfktaupI-IWPQBfUBY1dKTaqG-71TJrFgvto0w.jpg.jpg11482014-01-08no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/insert-site-wide-components-pagetplphp2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Insert Site-Wide Components into page.tpl.php<p>Designs often have a few elements which don&#39;t need to be easily edited and can essentially be &quot;hard wired&quot; into the template files. In our design there are three or four images which fall into this category. In this lesson we&#39;ll edit the page.tpl.php file to insert our design assets from Lesson 5: <a href="https://drupalize.me/videos/extract-design-assets">Extract Design Assets</a>.

As more and more internet enabled devices start wanting to make use of the data in our websites, we need to give them some way to interact with that data that isn&#39;t point and click in a browser. Enter the <a href="https://drupal.org/project/services">Drupal 7 services module</a>.</p> <p>In this series Joe Shindelar will walk through the services module and teach you how to create a RESTful web services API that exposes Drupal&#39;s internal data like nodes and users as JSON or XML. This paves the way for a huge variety of clients using a number of programming languages to access the data contained within your Drupal site, from native mobile applications and partner websites to internet enabled refrigerators. </p> <p>The first few lessons in the series are focused more on theory. They explain the various terms that are used both in Drupal and the wider web development sphere to describe web services and all their components. Joe describes REST itself and explains why it&#39;s a good fit, and discusses Drupal 7&#39;s content model and the ways that it lends itself nicely to serializing data into various formats via the services module in order to be consumed in structured and meaningful ways.</p> <p>Throughout the series we&#39;ll see a couple of examples of how to first enable Drupal to return requested data elements as JSON and then subsequently how to properly format an HTTP request to retrieve those elements. Joe will demonstrate making requests to the API via both cURL and the Chrome REST Console. This demonstration will help students to learn about both the Drupal configuration that is required and the way in which any third party applications can request data from Drupal via concrete examples.</p> <p>With the basics of creating an endpoint and making simple requests out of the way, Joe will demonstrate how to enable authentication via the services module and then use both cURL and the REST Console to explain the authentication handshake: a somewhat complex exchange of a username and password for a session authentication token that takes place in HTTP requests and headers whenever you want to perform an action via the API that requires an authenticated user. This will enable to you create third party applications that can access Drupal as a specific user, allowing for greater personalization.</p> <p>After that, Joe looks at ways to integrate the lists that site administrators create using the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/views">views module</a> with services in order to output their contents as structured data, as well as ways to use views to create entirely new custom services resources, followed by an example of leveraging the power of views exposed filters via services.</p> <p>Finally, for those scenarios where you simply can&#39;t point and click your way to an answer, Joe will teach you how to implement your own custom services resources for both saving and retrieving data from within Drupal, demonstrating the basic knowledge required to allow you to use services to solve all of your own custom API needs.</p> <p><strong>Things you&#39;ll be able to do after completion of this series:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Understand the basic principles of both web services and RESTful APIs.</li> <li>Explain why Drupal is a good fit for web applications that want to allow third party clients to access their data.</li> <li>Create a RESTful web services API using the services module for Drupal 7.</li> <li>Retrieve data from your Drupal site in both JSON and XML format.</li> <li>Create new nodes in Drupal via web services.</li> <li>Make authenticated requests to Drupal via web serivces.</li> <li>Integrate the views module with services to retrieve views data in various formats.</li> <li>Write your own module providing custom services data and actions.</li> <li>Create meaningful documentation that will enable others to take advantage of your newly created service.</li> </ul> <p>This series provides information about the services module for both intermediate and advanced Drupal users. Since this module makes use of <a href="series/site-building-drupal-7-series">basic Drupal site building</a> skills and <a href="series/module-development-drupal-7">custom views</a>, users should be familiar with those topics. Also, while not required, knowledge of running commands via the <a href="series/command-line-basics-series">command line</a> will be helpful. Finally, if you want to write your own custom services resources you&#39;ll need to understand <a href="series/module-development-drupal-7">basic module development</a>.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://drupal.org/project/services">Drupal 7 services module</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/IpcFmKn7BLeYxy2-4Bygq_-2kj78exKQ9gqllUtPg0g.jpg.jpg3752014-03-19no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-are-web-services-12023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9What are Web Services?<p>This lesson covers what an API is and why you might want to build one.

This provides a nice GUI and makes it a little easier to both test and understand what is going on. In this lesson Joe looks at installing the plugin and making basic requests to our API using the REST Console interface.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> The Chrome plugin demonstrated in this video is no longer available but there are many alternatives available.

In this series, we’ll build out a full editorial workflow process for a new site. In this lesson, we're going to look at the use case -- what is the project that we're building, and what are the requirements that we need to meet? Then we’ll discuss which contributed modules and aspects of the core we’ll use to meet the needs of our client in this use case. We’ll set up editorial teams so each team can work on its own section, and allow administrators to change the default publishing settings for each content type. We’ll use different parts of the Workbench module to help us ease this entire workflow that we need, and create roles and users who only have access to specific topics. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/VjQOYQuclhux1dRENHMv3b3mn8CPfUqmWFP2RpXVEhY.jpg.jpg4552014-07-02no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/spotlight-taxonomy2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Spotlight: Taxonomy<p>One of the basic tools for any news site, and most sites with a lot of content generally, is taxonomy. Taxonomy may sound like a big, fancy word, but it&rsquo;s just a technical term for a way of organizing and classifying things, like content on a website. If you&rsquo;ve sorted your family photo album, filed your email in folders, or argued with a friend about whether a band is punk or ska, you&rsquo;ve already worked with taxonomies! If a site has a lot of content, editors need a way to group it into categories. By doing so, they make it possible for users to easily navigate the website and find the content they&rsquo;re looking for. Additionally, assigning content to categories, whether by using a predefined set of sections or a free-for-all tagging system, opens up all sorts of interesting possibilities. For instance, site builders can expose content with similar tags on article pages. Or they can turn the category pages into rich landing pages, pulling in all kinds of different content that has the same categories assigned to it. In this lesson we will cover the basic things you need to understand about Drupal taxonomies: vocabularies, terms, and how to use them with content types.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/9-wGBEYhiCds6VkmkknGMwS_25fQBGT7W-bsaPZ0REw.jpg.jpg4852014-07-02no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-categorizing-content2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Categorizing Content<p>The Taxonomy module is included in core and is enabled by default when you install Drupal, along with a Tags vocabulary, which you can use to allow users to freely tag their content.

One reason to use clean URLs is so that they don&rsquo;t look so ugly. That helps, but still leaves the URLs lacking a bit. Having a URL with node/123 in it doesn&rsquo;t really tell either humans or search engines much about the page itself. Isn&rsquo;t it much better to have a URL with something like &quot;article/new-moon-discovered&quot; in it? That will be much more memorable, and the addition of pertinent keywords in the URL makes for better search engine optimization. In this lesson we&#39;ll look at a module that helps us automate this process, Pathauto. We&#39;ll get an overview of core path aliases, and how pathauto patterns and replacement tokens work.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/HPrIE_WWzLiVW3Qx7aIzN78dQE76iAZvd_TDwf5iNUI.jpg.jpg5792014-07-02no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-automating-url-aliases2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Automating URL Aliases<p>To get those handy human-readable URLs on our site, we are going to use the Pathauto module. As we discussed earlier, this relies on the Token module as well as the core Path module. The Pathauto settings are divided over two pages: one page to set up the actual replacement patterns, and another one to configure Pathauto&rsquo;s general settings. These configuration pages can seem a bit intimidating at first. Luckily, most of the defaults are what most sites will want to use anyway, so that makes our job with configuration a lot simpler than it may first appear. In this lesson we&#39;ll configure some path patterns using tokens, and then get all of our existing content using the new patterns by using the bulk update feature of Pathauto.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/zT2yCE5MHlTb1A_udDRgs8saFK_6J6rvRdx3QQdtTrA.jpg.jpg4122014-07-02no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/spotlight-workbench2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Spotlight: Workbench<p>We need to create an editorial process for our site, which can seem complex at first.

On top of that, we need an editorial workflow that integrates with that access control feature so the editors can control which content is in which state at any given time.

This can make it hard to understand what&rsquo;s going on and to grasp the module&rsquo;s possibilities. This is a situation that you&rsquo;ll encounter often when developing a site: at a certain point, you need content to test a certain feature, or to verify what a certain section on your site will look like. The Devel Generate module, which comes with the Devel module allows us to quickly generate sample content, users, taxonomy, and menu items, so testing functionality on our new site becomes a lot easier, since it will more closely resemble an actual site. In this lesson we&#39;ll enable and configure Devel Generate, and then run it to get a bunch of filler content set up on our site.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/o7-bnwsODWAnw8D6l8yhuk8S7WQo2f_k0_Z_edIHOCI.jpg.jpg2232014-07-09no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/spotlight-workbench-access2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Spotlight: Workbench Access<p>The next step in our editorial workflow is to combine Workbench with our News Section vocabulary to allow content management to be delegated according to existing editorial groups.

Existing editorial groups can now edit content they are responsible for, and only that content. However, to enable editors to effectively manage the flow of articles coming in, we need something else: an editorial workflow system that allows them to easily determine when an article is ready for review, and to either send it back to the reporter when it needs more work, or to publish it on the site when it&rsquo;s good to go.</p> <p>Out of the box, Drupal allows a piece of content to be either published or unpublished. When the &ldquo;published&rdquo; checkbox is unchecked on the node editing form, only users with the &ldquo;administer nodes&rdquo; permission are allowed to view the content. That&rsquo;s enough for some sites, but it doesn&rsquo;t give our reporters and editors as much control as they need. For example, there&rsquo;s no way for a reporter to mark an article as an in-progress draft and come back to it later. In addition, there&rsquo;s no easy way for an editor to tell a reporter that an article needs more work&mdash;the editor must contact the author manually.</p> <p>In this lesson, we&#39;ll get an overview of how the Workbench Moderation module can do this for us. We&#39;ll look at Workbench states and transitions, and how we use these to moderate our content.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></p> <p><a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> <p><a href="http://drupalize.me/guides/using-drupal-book-oreilly-media">Drupalize.Me Guide: Using Drupal Book by O&#39;Reilly Media</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/0AmEgvk6N6_6iDfICL6H1L6-NopVHcgO-lgl-hcTQkE.jpg.jpg2852014-07-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-workbench-moderation2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Workbench Moderation<p>The final step to complete our site for Our Media is to get the editorial workflow in place.

The field API allows for the development of custom field types to suit almost any data display and collection needs. Developers can create custom field types that can be bundled together and attached to various pieces of content. Fields allow a Drupal Site Administrator to create an information architecture that matches the needs of each individual site. This series will provide you with all the information you need to be able to define a custom field in your own module. After completing all the lessons in this series, you should have a firm grasp of the Drupal 7 field API and the tools and knowledge you need in order to define your own custom field types. <h3>Prerequisites</h3> This series requires an understanding of PHP and basic Drupal 7 module development. For a refresher, or if you get stuck, check out our <a href="http://drupalize.me/series/module-development-drupal-7">Drupal 7 Module Development series</a>. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://drupalize.me/series/module-development-drupal-7">Drupal 7 Module Development series</a> (Drupalize.Me).http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/U4hg3UWC-JrJLrx_BmshVZcdQR2VWBhWw2h5H3aT7LA.jpg.jpg1852014-07-23no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/drupal-7-field-api-fundamentals2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Drupal 7 Field API Fundamentals<p>Before diving into the code it&#39;s important to understand some of the building blocks that make up the Field API. There&#39;s a lot of different terminology in the Field API and it helps to understand what each of the terms mean. As well as understanding the relationship between the Fields and Entities in Drupal 7. Knowing these things will give you a strong foundation on which to start exploring the Drupal 7 Field API.</p> <p>Terms &amp; concepts covered in this video:</p> <ul> <li>What is a field? what is an instance?</li> <li>How do fields relate to entities?</li> <li>Field types</li> <li>Field storage</li> <li>Field widgets</li> <li>Field formatters</li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: 0.923em; line-height: 1.5em;">For more information about these terms see the Drupal.org handbook page:&nbsp;https://drupal.org/node/443540</span></p> <div><span style="font-size: 0.923em; line-height: 1.5em;">The Field API in Drupal 7 is actually made up of a bunch of different APIs. In this series we&#39;ll be focusing on the </span><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.api.php/group/field_types/7" style="font-size: 0.923em; line-height: 1.5em;">Field types API</a><span style="font-size: 0.923em; line-height: 1.5em;"> which is used to allow modules to define new field types, widgets, and display formatters. The Field types API is the most commonly used by custom modules.</span></div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><span style="font-size: 0.923em; line-height: 1.5em;">The Field API consists of a set of hooks that you can implement to define your own custom field types with their own unique data collection widgets, storage schema, and behaviors. And sets of functions that can be called to do things like retrieve information about defined fields, pragmatically attach fields to an entity type, and interact in other ways with fields defined by core or other modules.</span></div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>In addition to the Field types API there is also:</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <ul> <li>Field CRUD API - creates field instances and bundles, e.g.) what you see on the manage fields page.</li> <li><span style="font-size: 0.923em; line-height: 1.5em;">Field attach API - connects entities and fields, uses info from Field Info API to retrieve defined fields and do things like display their widget on the appropriate entity form when someone tries to edit an entity.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 0.923em; line-height: 1.5em;">Field info API - retrieve information about defined fields and instances.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 0.923em; line-height: 1.5em;">Field storage API - pluggable back-end storage for fields. Defaults to SQL backend provided by core.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 0.923em; line-height: 1.5em;">Field language API - provides native multilingual support for fields.</span></li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Yi0w6MyBYmvkBUvUXpFx3q55i1WAJ2DadhAyAS5kTFw.jpg.jpg5402014-07-23no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/field-api-documentation-and-resources2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Field API Documentation and Resources<p>There&#39;s quite a bit of documentation and other resources already available to help you better understand the Drupal 7 Field API.

The combination of which provides some basic information about our field including a label, description, default settings, and basic information about how the field will be formatted and what widgets can be used for data collection.</p> <p>In this lesson we&#39;ll implement the basics for the following hooks:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.api.php/function/hook_field_info/7">hook_field_info()</a></li> <li><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.api.php/function/hook_field_formatter_info/7">hook_field_formatter_info()</a></li> <li><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.api.php/function/hook_field_widget_info/7">hook_field_widget_info()</a></li> </ul> <p>Doing so will allow us to enable our module and see our new field type appear in the list of available fields to add to a content type. The field won&#39;t do much beyond that yet, but it&#39;s a good start towards telling Drupal about our custom RGB field type.</p> <p>If you want to just follow along and look at the already written code you can grab a copy in the companion files section of this page and use that to follow along.</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/89qI3Yiq35dZ1hkhKTV3tXYZPMgrc7BsZpmxKIBhowY.jpg.jpg7422014-07-23no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/defining-fields-schema-database-storage2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Defining a Field's Schema for Database Storage<p>Before we can actually get our field to store data for us we need to define what the data that we&#39;re going to store looks like. The Field API does this with hook_field_schema(), which uses a very similar syntax to what is used by the hook_schema() that modules can use to define database tables. In this particular case though we&#39;re only defining what the column, or columns, that store our specific data will be and allowing the Field Storage API to decide what the structure of the created table, or tables, should be. This allows our field to remain mostly storage system agnostic and frees us from having to worry about things like how the stored field data is connected back to the entity that it belongs to, or how to format our table for proper handling of revision data or translations.</p> <ul> <li>Documentation for hook_field_schema - https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.api.php/function/hook_field_schema/7</li> <li>Schema API docs - https://drupal.org/developing/api/schema</li> </ul> <p>Example <code>hook_field_schema()</code> implemenatation.</p> <pre> <code> /** * Implements hook_field_schema(). */ function rgb_field_schema($field) { $columns = array( &#39;rgb&#39; =&gt; array( &#39;type&#39; =&gt; &#39;varchar&#39;, &#39;length&#39; =&gt; 6, &#39;not null&#39; =&gt; FALSE, ), &#39;label&#39; =&gt; array( &#39;type&#39; =&gt; &#39;varchar&#39;, &#39;length&#39; =&gt; 128, &#39;not null&#39; =&gt; FALSE, ), ); $indexes = array( &#39;rgb&#39; =&gt; array(&#39;rgb&#39;), ); return array( &#39;columns&#39; =&gt; $columns, &#39;indexes&#39; =&gt; $indexes, ); } </code></pre> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.api.php/function/hook_field_schema/7">hook_field_schema()</a></li> <li><a href="https://drupal.org/developing/api/schema">Schema API documentation</a></li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/_9Q9WXV0w3EQ81XbS3wkUB9OnQ62Noa-xkd5d-C2Z88.jpg.jpg6292014-07-23no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/creating-field-widgets-collecting-user-input2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Creating Field Widgets For Collecting User Input<p>The term widget refers to the form element, or elements, that are presented to the user when they are entering data for a field. For example, the file upload field on the Article content type is the widget for the image field attached to that content type. When a field instance is attached to a bundle and an admin is creating or editing an entity of that bundle type the Field Attach API calls out to each individual field and asks it for the widget it would like to use to collect data.

In certain context values like 0, FALSE, and NULL can all be a valid value. In fact, even a blank space could be valid input for a field. As such, it&#39;s not possible for Drupal to know what constitutes an empty state for a field without a little extra help. The same is true for checking if the value of a field is valid.</p> <p><strong>Examples:</strong></p> <pre> <code> /** * Implementation of hook_field_is_empty(). */ function rgb_field_is_empty($item, $field) { if (empty($item[&#39;rgb&#39;]) || empty($item[&#39;label&#39;])) { return TRUE; } return FALSE; } /** * Implements hook_field_validate(). */ function rgb_field_validate($entity_type, $entity, $field, $instance, $langcode, $items, &amp;$errors) { foreach($items as $delta =&gt; $item) { if (!empty($item[&#39;rgb&#39;])) { // Make sure it&#39;s 6 characters. if (drupal_strlen($item[&#39;rgb&#39;]) !== 6) { $errors[$field[&#39;field_name&#39;]][$langcode][$delta][] = array( &#39;error&#39; =&gt; &#39;rgb_length&#39;, &#39;message&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;%name: the hex color must be 6 characters.&#39;, array(&#39;%name&#39; =&gt; $instance[&#39;label&#39;])), ); } } } } </code></pre> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.api.php/function/hook_field_validate/7">hook_field_validate()</a></p> <p><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.api.php/function/hook_field_is_empty/7">hook_field_is_empty()</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/kL-xbqixZdelTIPkVJGAV63538vh8GiobE6tMMGlCRo.jpg.jpg7912014-07-30no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/adding-settings-field-widgets2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Adding Settings for Field Widgets<p>In order to allow for maximum flexibility in our widget we can add widget settings that apply to each individual instance of our field. By implementing <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field_ui%21field_ui.api.php/function/hook_field_widget_settings_form/7">hook_field_widget_settings_form() </a>and then refactoring some of our existing code we can make it possible for a site administrator to set a custom prefix value for the label field, which the Field API will store for as part of the field instance&#39;s settings and we can use it when creating our widget.</p> <p>Implementations of <code>hook_field_widget_settings_form()</code> return a Form API array that represents the element or elements that you would like to add to the widget settings form. Values are automatically serialized and saved as part of the field&#39;s instance configuration and can be accessed by the passed in <code>$instance</code> array&#39;s <code>$instance[&#39;widget&#39;][&#39;settings&#39;]</code> key.</p> <p><strong>Example:</strong></p> <pre> <code> /** * Implements hook_field_widget_settings_form(). */ function rgb_field_widget_settings_form($field, $instance) { $element = array( &#39;rgb_label_text&#39; =&gt; array( &#39;#type&#39; =&gt; &#39;textfield&#39;, &#39;#title&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;Alternate label text&#39;), &#39;#description&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;If an alternate label text is provided it will be used in place of the default &quot;Color&quot; title for the label field.&#39;), &#39;#default_value&#39; =&gt; isset($instance[&#39;widget&#39;][&#39;settings&#39;][&#39;rgb_label_text&#39;]) ? $instance[&#39;widget&#39;][&#39;settings&#39;][&#39;rgb_label_text&#39;] : &#39;&#39;, ), ); return $element; } </code></pre> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field_ui%21field_ui.api.php/function/hook_field_widget_settings_form/7">hook_field_widget_settings_form()</a></li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/kKGbp80u7m1EKahUrwkcKfU3fSlPK218uAmgNchu7Lo.jpg.jpg6022014-07-30no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/creating-field-formatter-and-displaying-field-data2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Creating a Field Formatter and Displaying Field Data<p>Displaying that data that was collected and saved for our a field requires creating a field formatter. Formatters consist of an implementation of <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.api.php/function/hook_field_formatter_info/7">hook_field_formatter_info()</a> and <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.api.php/function/hook_field_formatter_view/7">hook_field_formatter_view()</a>. The former provides meta-data about the formatter for the Field API and the latter does the heavy lifting of determining what the output is actually going to look like.</p> <p>A module can define more than one field formatter.</p> <p>Implementations of <code>hook_field_formatter_view()</code> return a renderable array representing the content you would like to display to the end user. Generally this is an escaped version of content provided by a site administrator with some additional HTML formatting applied.</p> <p>Depending on the values being output you would likely want to also use a theme function for your field formatter by implementing hook_theme() and providing either a theme() function that can be overriden or a template file. We're not going to cover that in this lesson since the focus here is on the technical requirements for impelementing a field formatter. Howerver, I would say that it's best practcie to always output any HTML with a theme function. You can find out more about creating themeable output by watching these videos from our library: http://drupalize.me/videos/integrating-theme-system and http://drupalize.me/videos/using-drupal-render-api</p> <p><strong>Example:</strong></p> <pre> <code> /** * Implements hook_field_formatter_info(). */ function rgb_field_formatter_info() { return array( 'rgb_raw' => array( 'label' => t('Raw color value'), 'field types' => array('rgb_color'), ), 'rgb_box' => array( 'label' => t('Color block with label'), 'field types' => array('rgb_color'), ), ); } /** * Implements hook_field_formatter_view(). */ function rgb_field_formatter_view($entity_type, $entity, $field, $instance, $langcode, &$items, $display) { $element = array(); switch ($display['type']) { case 'rgb_raw': foreach ($items as $key => $value) { $element[$key] = array( '#type' => 'markup', '#markup' => t('#@hex', array('@hex' => $value['rgb'])), ); } break; case 'rgb_box': foreach ($items as $key => $value) { $element[$key] = array( '#type' => 'markup', '#markup' => '<div style="background-color: #' . check_plain($value['rgb']) .

For example choosing which image style to use when displaying an image field. The Field API allows for formatter settings and we can add them by implementing <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field_ui%21field_ui.api.php/function/hook_field_formatter_settings_summary/7">hook_field_formatter_settings_summary()</a> and <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field_ui%21field_ui.api.php/function/hook_field_formatter_settings_form/7">hook_field_formatter_settings_form()</a>. This lesson shows how to add simple width and height settings for the rgb_box display formatter that will allow an admin to modify the dimensions of the block that is displayed. Then uses those entered values in the implementation of <code>hook_field_formatter_view()</code> added in the previous lesson to set the CSS width and height of the HTML element being displayed. Allowing site administrators a greater amount of control over what the content looks like without having to write any code. Which, also makes are module more flexible, and more useful in a larger variety of scenarios.</p> <p>Field formatter settings are access via the Manage Display tab for our Article content type. Any field which provides additional settings will display a gear icon along on the far right that once clicked will reveal the settings form. Field formatter settings are per instance settings.</p> <p>In addition to providing a settings form we also need to provide a simple text sumary of the settings that can be displayed on the Manage Display tab. This summary is displayed next to our field prior to someone clicking the gear icon that reveals the settings form. This gives the administrator a quick overview of the current configuration for all fields formatters. This is done with <code>hook_field_formatter_settings_summary()</code>, which despite not being documented as such is <strong>required</strong> in order to provide field display formatter settings in Drupal 7.</p> <p><strong>Example:</strong></p> <pre> <code> /** * Implements hook_field_formatter_settings_summary(). */ function rgb_field_formatter_settings_summary($field, $instance, $view_mode) { $display = $instance[&#39;display&#39;][$view_mode]; $settings = $instance[&#39;display&#39;][$view_mode][&#39;settings&#39;]; if ($display[&#39;type&#39;] == &#39;rgb_box&#39;) { $output = t(&#39;Box size: @widthx@height&#39;, array(&#39;@width&#39; =&gt; $settings[&#39;width&#39;], &#39;@height&#39; =&gt; $settings[&#39;height&#39;])); return $output; } } /** * Implements hook_field_formatter_settings_form(). */ function rgb_field_formatter_settings_form($field, $instance, $view_mode, $form, &amp;$form_state) { $display = $instance[&#39;display&#39;][$view_mode]; $settings = $display[&#39;settings&#39;]; $element = array(); if ($display[&#39;type&#39;] == &#39;rgb_box&#39;) { $element[&#39;width&#39;] = array( &#39;#type&#39; =&gt; &#39;textfield&#39;, &#39;#title&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;Box width&#39;), &#39;#default_value&#39; =&gt; $settings[&#39;width&#39;], ); $element[&#39;height&#39;] = array( &#39;#type&#39; =&gt; &#39;textfield&#39;, &#39;#title&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;Box height&#39;), &#39;#default_value&#39; =&gt; $settings[&#39;height&#39;], ); } return $element; } </code></pre> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field_ui%21field_ui.api.php/function/hook_field_formatter_settings_summary/7">hook_field_formatter_settings_summary()</a></p> <p><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field_ui%21field_ui.api.php/function/hook_field_formatter_settings_form/7">hook_field_formatter_settings_form()</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/FtcCMwj69uGAvYCOTrBr4f9gOMFnhoNliEAXRns0Njg.jpg.jpg8272014-07-30no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/performing-additional-operations-when-loading-field-data2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Performing Additional Operations When Loading Field Data<p>Sometimes we need to make use of the collected and stored field data in order to calculate additional values that can be used when displaying a field. The Amazon ASIN field for example can query the Amazon API and get additional information about a product like a thumbnail to display alongside the ASIN value. Using <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.api.php/function/hook_field_load/7">hook_field_load()</a> we can perform additional operations on the stored field values at the time the Field API loads, or requests, the value of our field and present that calculated data long with the stored data.</p> <p>Should the data be loaded during &quot;view&quot; or &quot;load&quot; operations? In my mind that depends on what it&#39;s needed for. A good question to ask might be, &quot;if someone was accessing the content of this field as JSON would they want this data included?&quot;. If the answer is yes, you probably want to use <code>hook_field_load()</code> to perform addition load operations.</p> <p>When dealing with implementations of <code>hook_field_load()</code> the most interesting paramater is probably the <code>$items</code> array. An multi-dimentional array that contains a record for each value value for this particular field for the entity being viewed. Because $items can contain one or more values you&#39;ll need to loop over the values within <code>$items</code> and update them accordingly.</p> <p>Implementations of <code>hook_field_load()</code> don&#39;t need to return any value. Instead they should update the <code>$items</code> array which is passed in by reference.</p> <p>In this example we&#39;ll be querying the Google Search API, which returns JSON data. The search API is accessible at URLs like the following:&nbsp;https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&amp;q=663399. The most important part being the <code>&amp;q=663399</code>, which we&#39;ll replace with our specific search term.</p> <p>Values that are added to the <code>$items</code> array will be available to implementations of <code>hook_field_formatter_view()</code> in the <code>$items</code> parameter passed to those functions. From there, you can make use of any added data when displaying the field for end users. Because the data is added during the <em>load</em> operation for the entity that the field is attached to it&#39;s also available anytime you&#39;re making use of the <code>$entity</code> object.</p> <p><strong>Example:</strong></p> <pre> <code> /** * Implements hook_field_load(). */ function rgb_field_load($entity_type, $entities, $field, $instances, $langcode, &amp;$items, $age) { dsm(&#39;rgb_field_load&#39;); foreach ($items as $entity_id =&gt; $field_values) { foreach ($field_values as $delta =&gt; $value) { $url = &#39;https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&amp;q=&#39; . $value[&#39;rgb&#39;]; $response = drupal_http_request($url); if ($response-&gt;code == 200) { $data = drupal_json_decode($response-&gt;data); $links = array(); foreach ($data[&#39;responseData&#39;][&#39;results&#39;] as $result) { $links[] = l($result[&#39;titleNoFormatting&#39;], $result[&#39;url&#39;]); } $items[$entity_id][$delta][&#39;google_links&#39;] = $links; } } } } </code></pre> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.api.php/function/hook_field_load/7">hook_field_load()</a></li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Q3QYfesmpw3pkuNPT6Qz8KITbDpY6_paZ2C8AGMZW0k.jpg.jpg10382014-07-30no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/styling-panel-panes-stylizer2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Styling Panel Panes with Stylizer<p>Stylizer enables site editors to change the styles of panel pane backgrounds, content, text styles, borders, and heading styles.

This is such a common task for modules that, rather than have every module developer reinvent the wheel, Drupal's token API allows for this kind of placeholder replacement using a unified syntax and a set of hooks and functions, which we'll cover throughout the series. This video gives an overview of the six lessons in this series, from background to a sample installation of modules we’ll need, implementing tokens using hooks, and looking at the relationships between core and token modules. After watching this series, you should have a firm grasp on the Drupal token API and be able to use it in your own custom modules in order to provide your users with static placeholder tokens that can be replaced with a dynamically calculated value. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://drupalize.me/series/module-development-drupal-7">Drupal 7 Module Development Series</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/token">Contrib Token Module</a></li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/-KWXOaOwJfZY6hWqU449-6l1yX5sa7peCu4eqDseYkY.jpg.jpg2092014-09-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-are-tokens2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9What Are Tokens?<p>There just a couple of components that make up the token system in Drupal 7, which is nice because it means fewer new things we have to learn. But, it&#39;s important to understand what those components are and some of the fundamentals of how tokens work in order to make the most of Drupal&#39;s Token API. In this lesson we&#39;ll take a look the use case for tokens, talk about token types, and the concept of global tokens vs. those that require some additional context in order to have their dynamic values calculated.</p> <h3>What are tokens?</h3> <p>Tokens are specially formatted chunks of text that serve as placeholders for a dynamically generated value. Here&#39;s a really simple example: You want to display a welcome message to user&#39;s of your site, and you want it to be personalized so how about you add their name and instead of just saying &quot;Welcome&quot;, you can say &quot;Welcome, Joe&quot;. In order to avoid having to hard-code a welcome string for every single user of the site it would be nice to dynamically generate the string. So you use a one like the following, &quot;Welcome, <code>[current-user:name]</code>&quot;.</p> <p>The <code>[current-user:name]</code> here is what Drupal refers to as a token. A string of static text that will be located and replaced with a dynamic value. This token is made up of a few parts, inside of the mandatory square brackets that signify that this is a token. The first part <code>current-user:</code> in this case is the <strong>token type</strong>.</p> <p>Token types are used to group like things together into a namespace. User&#39;s for example have name, mail, and last-login properties. Nodes have title, nid, and author properties. Token type also plays an important role in determining what tokens are available in what context. User tokens for example might be available when sending an email to a specific user but node type tokens might be irrelevant in this use case. We need to be able to tell end user&#39;s what types of tokens can be used in what context so that they don&#39;t use a node token (which has no value) in a user context.</p> <p>The second part, after the colon (<code>:</code>) is the token itself. This signifies what value will be substituted into the string containing the token. <code>:name</code> in this case indicates we want the current user&#39;s username. This also brings up another important point. Global vs. contextual tokens. Some tokens like this one <code>[system:date]</code> can be calculated without any additional information. Simply call the PHP date function and you&#39;ve got a value. This token <code>[current-user:name]</code>, on the other hand, requires knowledge about the currently logged-in user in order to be able to determine that user&#39;s name. This token requires additional context in order to be useful.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/documentation/modules/token">Handbook documentation for tokens (drupal.org)</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/_YEDgEpMwwIqLEyL2qpxDO0h4u_Lq_agrBYy9R4pMSY.jpg.jpg8232014-09-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/drupal-7-tokens-site-setup2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Drupal 7 Tokens Site Setup<p>Before we can get started creating our own tokens we&#39;ll need a basic Drupal site setup and module to start from. This lesson will walk through the prerequisites for the rest of the series including having Drupal installed, downloading and installing the databasics module, creation of some dummy content, and a quick tour of what the module does.</p> <p>In order to follow along in this series you&#39;ll want to have a copy of <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal">Drupal 7</a> installed. If you need a refresher on installing Drupal check out <a href="http://drupalize.me/series/using-drupal-appendix-installing-and-upgrading-drupal">this series</a> on getting up and running with Drupal 7.</p> <p>Once you&#39;ve got Drupal 7 installed you&#39;ll want to download and install a copy of the databasics module that was created as part of the <a href="http://drupalize.me/series/module-development-drupal-7">Drupal 7 module development series</a>. We&#39;ll use this as a starting point for adding custom tokens so that we have some new data to play with. You can grab a copy of the files attached to this page.</p> <p>Finally, we&#39;ll create some dummy content on our site and walk through what the databasics module does and talk about the problem we&#39;re trying to solve.</p> <p>The databasics module has a string of text that&#39;s displayed at the bottom of each node that displays some dynamic information. We would like this text to be configurable by an administrator, so we&#39;ll add some new tokens and then update both the form where text is entered and the code that displays the text to allow for use of the newly created tokens.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://drupalize.me/series/module-development-drupal-7">Drupal 7 module development series</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal">Drupal 7</a>&nbsp;download</li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/PFRUpUXEKXEMRc9tu_pl2I2Fun1W38gL6kj2CCAGJQU.jpg.jpg5172014-09-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/providing-placeholder-tokens2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Providing Placeholder Tokens<p>The first of two steps required to add new tokens to Drupal 7 is implementing <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21system%21system.api.php/function/hook_token_info/7">hook_token_info()</a> in order to give Drupal a list of the placeholders your module provides. Placeholders can be grouped together by creating a new token type and placing new tokens under that grouping or by adding new tokens to an existing token type provided by another module like the node module. Token types can be defined as global meaning their value can be calculated without any additional context, or as &#39;needs-data&#39; tokens that require additional information about the context in which they are being used in order to calculate their value. For example, a <code>[node:title]</code> token needs to know which node is being referenced, whereas a <code>[system:date]</code> token doesn&#39;t need any additional reference to calculate the current date. In this lesson we will be adding the following token types:</p> <ul> <li><code>[databasics-totals]</code> - For tokens that can be calculated without any additional context.</li> <li><code>[databasics-page]</code> - For tokens that require additional context in order to be rendered. In this case, they need to know which page is currently being viewed and are thus only useful in the context of viewing a page.</li> </ul> <p>And these tokens:</p> <ul> <li><code>[databasics-totals:count]</code> - Total page views for the entire site.</li> <li><code>[databasics-page:view-count]</code> - Number of times the current page has been viewed by the current user..</li> <li><code>[databasics-page:last-viewed]</code> - Date the current page was last viewed..</li> </ul> <p>We use <code>hook_token_info()</code> to provide Drupal with information about available placeholder tokens and their types. Here&#39;s an example <code>hook_token_info()</code> implementation:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <pre> <code> /** * Implements hook_token_info(). */ function databasics_token_info() { $info = array(); $info[&#39;types&#39;] = array( &#39;databasics-totals&#39; =&gt; array( &#39;name&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;Databasics totals&#39;), &#39;description&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;Global databasics tokens.&#39;), ), // [databasics-page:] &#39;databasics-page&#39; =&gt; array( &#39;name&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;Databasics&#39;), &#39;description&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;Tokens for databasics page counts.&#39;), &#39;needs-data&#39; =&gt; array(&#39;databasics_record&#39;), ), ); $info[&#39;tokens&#39;] = array( &#39;databasics-totals&#39; =&gt; array( // [databasics-totals:count] &#39;count&#39; =&gt; array( &#39;name&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;Total page views&#39;), &#39;description&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;Total page views for entire site.&#39;), ), ), // Page specific tokens. &#39;databasics-page&#39; =&gt; array( // Add a token for the view count. // [databasics-page:view-count] &#39;view-count&#39; =&gt; array( &#39;name&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;View count&#39;), &#39;description&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;Number of times the page has been viewed by the current user.&#39;), ), // [databasics-page:last-viewed] &#39;last-viewed&#39; =&gt; array( &#39;name&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;Last viewed&#39;), &#39;description&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;Date the page was last viewed.&#39;), ), ), ); // [node:view-count], [node:view-count:last-viewed] $info[&#39;tokens&#39;][&#39;node&#39;] = array( &#39;view-count&#39; =&gt; array( &#39;name&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;View count&#39;), &#39;description&#39; =&gt; t(&#39;Number of times the current node has been viewed by the current user.&#39;), &#39;type&#39; =&gt; &#39;databasics-page&#39;, ), ); return $info; } </code></pre> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21system%21system.api.php/function/hook_token_info/7">hook_token_info()</a></li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/MUHAvRbcu1mZjjQtf3Kjh_A6vZDVHd_9Wk6dwM9Cvro.jpg.jpg6432014-09-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/providing-values-placeholder-tokens2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Providing Values For Placeholder Tokens<p><strong>Note:</strong> In the video, around 9:30, we added at the <code>:uid</code> argument to the query, but did not add the corresponding portion to the WHERE clause of the query. The final query should look like the one in the code sample below.</p> <p>Now that we've got placeholder tokens that we can enter into a string of text we need to provide the actual values that should be used to replace those placeholders. In this lesson we'll implement <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21system%21system.api.php/function/hook_tokens/7">hook_tokens()</a> in order to provide the Drupal Token API with the values that correspond to the placeholders our module provides.</p> <p>Implementations of <code>hook_tokens()</code> are called once for every token type that's in scope for the current string that's being processed. So, one for all user tokens, once for all node tokens, and once for all global tokens. Each time the hook is passed an array which contains all the tokens of that specific type that where found in the string being processed as well as any additional contextual information such as the current <code>$user</code> or <code>$node</code> object.</p> <p><code>hook_tokens()</code> is expected to return an array of values for each of the tokens in question that your module is responsible for. In our case, since we added the <code>[databasics-page:*]</code> and <code>[databasics-totals:*]</code> tokens we're responsible for calculating and returning their value whenever they are requested.</p> <p>We'll also look at using the <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21token.inc/function/token_find_with_prefix/7">token_find_with_prefix()</a> function which will allow us to detect and provide values for any chained tokens.

But it&#39;s missing some critical features. A UI for allowing end users to browse the list of available tokens for example. And core only provides some very basic tokens, missing support for things like field values. In this lesson we&#39;ll look at additional functionality provided by the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/token">token module</a> from contrib and how we can make use if it to provide both a UI for browsing available tokens as well as better validation of form elements with tokens in them.</p> <p>First we&#39;ll download and install the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/token">token module</a> from contrib and look at some of the features it provides us with without having to write any code.</p> <p>Then, we&#39;ll look at using <code>theme_token_tree_link()</code> to provide our end users with a user interface for browsing the tokens available in a given context. <code>theme_token_tree_link()</code> also allows us to specify the token types that should be displayed so we can limit the list to just those that are relevant.</p> <p>Finally, we&#39;ll look at using the <code>token_element_validate()</code> function as an extra element validator on our Form API element where we allow users to enter strings of text that contain tokens. This validator will provide valuation of the tokens entered into the form element, for example: if the valid token types are &#39;node&#39; which means they can only use &#39;node&#39; tokens in that field. This makes sure that the tokens you enter into a field will work in that context.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/token">Token module</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/documentation/modules/token">Token module documentation</a></li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/rALtqZwhUXHrOgtFI2Zto4YTF5pxqy0iM9JVbAE4n1g.jpg.jpg7352014-09-10no https://drupalize.me/blog/installing-and-configuring-web-servers-your-mac-or-windows-machine2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/blog/release-day-set-local-web-server-ubuntu2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/course/context-and-bean-layout-tools-your-drupal-toolbox2024-07-23T19:36Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/introduction-context-and-bean2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Introduction to Context and Bean<p>As Drupal site-builders and developers we are all very aware that Drupal 7 is not the most useful product out of the box. We constantly add modules and custom code to make Drupal do what we need. There is nothing wrong with this, in fact it is what attracts people to using Drupal in the first place.  The block system that comes with core is what we get after installation as our real only means to laying "stuff" out for our website. People have done things like turning nodes into blocks, or making every block on our a site a view. These concepts work, but have a lot of draw backs for usability and performance.  There are lots of layout tools to use, but this series is going to take a look at the Context and Bean modules.  These two modules are really two completely different modules but when used together give us some pretty powerful options in place of Drupal's core block system.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://drupal.org/project/context">Context module</a></p> <p><a href="https://drupal.org/project/bean">Bean module</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/7A9q9zwfwjScEz98tCRER3heJpXQq7jUGKwvTBZ4uRI.jpg.jpg4372014-10-01no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/why-use-context-module2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Why Use the Context Module?<p>One of the key problems with the block system in core is it's very limiting. You are limited to a small set of tools for when and how to show a block. Once you lay out your blocks you are basically done—blocks can't be placed in multiple regions. Most importantly, block configurations are not exportable. With the Context module, you lay things out based on the context of your site.  A block can exist in one region for one context and a different region for another. Essentially Context is a more advanced block placement form.</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/fjmKtxpZDWmlWSXvi8yjhmhjy--ddF-hBrJK4fYU8wM.jpg.jpg5212014-10-01no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/install-context-module-and-tour-ui2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Install Context Module and Tour the UI<p>In this lesson we'll get started with Context by installing the module on our site, and then walking through the user interface we have to work with.

This is not necessary, but a good idea if there are multiple people managing your site. We will disable all blocks in the block UI since we will be using the Context module to manage this part of our website. The core block UI will then only be used to manage block titles as Context does not allow for this (a disadvantage we learned about previously).</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/0-5QBq6nuve174COVmcnEc8F5RnBsux5yDzjFSGCEUo.jpg.jpg1672014-10-01no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/creating-user-role-dashboards-contexts2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Creating User Role Dashboards with Contexts<p>In this lesson we will discuss different use cases for when one would use Context module.

The Bean module makes blocks act more like content types.  It allows for different block types and for adding fields to blocks. We are also able to manage the display of a block, which comes in handy with Context.

It’s a big world, and only about 6% of it speaks English as a native language. Having multiple languages is not as simple as having users post content in whichever language they like. There are other things to consider, like navigation, date formatting, and help text. And what about having the same post available in multiple languages, and easily navigating between them? Once you start thinking about it in detail, there is a lot of ground to cover. Luckily, Drupal core and a few contributed modules have done a lot of that hard work for us so we can concentrate on building our community and content. In this series, we'll cover t<span style="line-height: 1.75;">he two main concepts for multilingual sites: internationalization, often abbreviated i18n, and localization, often abbreviated l10n.

The user interface text is mostly provided by the software, stored in the code itself. This is sometimes referred to as "hard-coded." While content is generated by users of the site, and stored in the database. Drupal core comes with the Locale module, which works with the user interface text and gives you a nice set of tools that lets you import existing translations, create or edit your own, or export your site’s translations for use on other sites. In this lesson we'll take a tour of the Locale module and discuss translation files, translating strings, language switching, and how to get a localized installation. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Hs2McJa97BuaAAy5QiSEIrjYvsfcjFFgRmpSYkXmnpM.jpg.jpg9962014-10-15no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-installing-translation2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Installing a Translation<p>The first step to using any of Drupal’s multilingual features is installing a translation, so that Drupal has more than one language to choose from. As mentioned previously, you can use a localized distribution so that you install your language during the site installation process. Alternatively, you can easily add a language after you have installed the site by using the “Localization update” module.

This will become more likely as you add contributed modules. Almost no site will have absolutely 100% language coverage out of the box, so you will probably need to translate a few items yourself. Drupal has a built-in system to do this with the Locale module, but there is also a contributed “Localization client” module which extends this core feature. In this lesson we'll take a look at Localization Client, see why want to use it, and how it works. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/l10n_client">Localization Client project</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a><br /> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/nVZxcdlCX7mfyCDJX1ZtStOyjyPrJHNXUuFkLzAM4V0.jpg.jpg2092014-10-15no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/spotlight-content-translation2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Spotlight: Content TranslationWhen it comes to translating your site’s content in Drupal 7, we have two possibilities. There is the core “Content translation” module and the contributed “Entity translation” module. They have quite different approaches to translation. So, in this lesson we'll compare the Content and Entity Translation modules, and take a look at how node translations work. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://vimeo.com/27068202">Video about the difference between Content and Entity</a> <a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/t9v9tHksQlPhhWrz3RjhLRH1eea6EsXQc7en9UWO1dE.jpg.jpg4652014-10-22no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-translating-content2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Translating ContentWith our interface taken care of, now we can configure multilingual support for our content. That is, we need to be able to identify which language a given piece of content is written in and then create translations. So, we already have articles, and we need to add a knowledge base to the site as well. For both of these types of content, we’ll need to identify the language they are written in, as well as provide related, linked translated versions. In this lesson we'll enable the core Book module for our knowledge base, enable multilingual content, and start translating our knowledge base. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/yBSWpQTdUfhjx8UdEyS4gBX4uM3_BpRrVANcv4ok-XU.jpg.jpg5352014-10-22no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-translating-interface2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Translating the InterfaceNot everyone wants or needs to install yet another module, and due to the caveats we mentioned about Localization client, it is still a good idea to be familiar with all of your options.

We have translations for some of our content and menu items, but we're seeing all the content at the same time. You will also see some stray interface text still in English. To take our multilingual site further and really make it shine, in this lesson we're going to turn to a package of modules called Internationalization (i18n). There is a central Internationalization module, which comes packaged with a handful of other modules designed to work together to extend core’s multilingual features. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/i18n">Internationalization (i18n) project</a> <a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/nBFxAe9QEmvAYYA5iY4__Kwi1TBQWFz0AcZ1PRYZ-TQ.jpg.jpg6522014-10-22no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-content-selection2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Content SelectionTranslated content on a Drupal is all shown at the same time by default.

Our content types for the site are still using English for the content type name on the “Create content” page, and for field names when making new content. In this lesson, to fix this up, we'll walk through translating content type names, the Title label on the content type, and also see how to tackle the field labels as well. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a><br /> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/cElJ8gHEcMxGu4RvZcSixrexF-6suAqMFmiIEB2J74M.jpg.jpg3862014-10-30no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-taxonomy2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: TaxonomyWhen using Drupal’s taxonomy system, we need to find a way to sync the terms that we create to keep the taxonomy selection limited to just the terms for a given language. We don’t want all of the different languages showing up at the same time when someone is looking at a vocabulary or individual terms on the site. We're going to work with taxonomy to create our site's forum. The Forum module’s containers and forums structure is built on Drupal’s core taxonomy, so it is also creating a new vocabulary on our site. The forums on our client’s site need to display the threads that follow the same content selection rule as the rest of the content on the site. That is, we’ll only show the forum posts for the selected language. The site will have preset containers and forums, and then users may post to them using whichever language they choose. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a><br /> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/xYYVVHc9NZ2ICIVihlBNebNlvWvfT4VfBy9BafLy92Y.jpg.jpg4982014-10-30no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/taking-multilingual-further2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Taking Multilingual Further<p>There are a lot of tools available for working with multilingual sites, and we've implemented the main pieces we needed to build the site that Blue Peak Fanatics needs.

We set up a forum that displays only posts that are in the user’s language and a knowledge base book where all of the site members can create translations for the pages. The major need for this community was being able to use multiple languages and easily extend those languages in the future. Using Drupal’s core internationalization features with a handful of contributed modules, we have given them a very flexible multilingual solution. In this final lesson we'll tour the Blue Peak Fanatics site, discuss our implementation points, and review the modules and resources we used to build this site. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a> <strong>Up next: </strong><a href="https://drupalize.me/series/using-drupal-chapter-9-online-store">Using Drupal Chapter 9: Online Store</a> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/AOCZRO9xpkqd8tGMRPeSx_c7rc6McYde-2bAQquI774.jpg.jpg11522014-10-30no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-menu-translation2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Menu TranslationThe last little thing we need to do to clean up our site is to get our Home tab in the Main menu translated as well.

Together they ensure that the code we write functions as it is intended to, and that changes made later on do not introduce any regressions into our application. Its tedious work and generally involves coming up with a list of tasks that prove a specific feature is working, and then repeating the list of tasks every time a change is made. Automated testing is the process of writing code to reduce the number of things we need to do manually when testing our software. That list you created to ensure your software is working correctly is likely something that can be easily automated with a testing framework like SimpleTest. Doing so can dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to perform QA, and improve the overall stability of our applications. The SimpleTest testing framework was introduced into Drupal core early on in the Drupal 7 development cycle. Since then it has had a profound impact on the way our community develops Drupal. Core now contains a whole suite of tests that cover somewhere in the neighborhood of 75% of the softwares functionality. Every time a new features is introduced, or a bug is fixed, this battery of tests confirms that the fix to the date formatting function didn't inadvertently break something else. In this series we'll learn to write our own automated tests for Drupal 7 using SimpleTests. We'll walk through enabling SimpleTest, and running one or more test cases with both the SimpleTest UI, and with drush. Then we'll cover some of the related terminology like the difference between functional tests and unit tests. As well as discuss why testing is an important part of development and worth the investment. Then we'll walk through writing a test case and a set of assertions in orders to verify that various features of our site are working. We'll use functional tests based on the <code>DrupalWebTestCase</code> class, which simulates a browser navigating our site and clicking on links, and filling out forms. And the <code>DrupalUnitTestCase</code> class, which allows us to write super fast unit tests for the business logic contained within our code. After watching this series you should be able to: <ul> <li>Install the SimpleTest module and run the tests included with core.</li> <li>Define and know the difference between functional tests, unit tests, test cases, and assertions.</li> <li>Create a new test case so that SimpleTest can discover and run your tests.</li> <li>Write assertions that test the validity of your application in a given state.</li> <li>Use the test browser to click on links and navigate to pages on a site.</li> <li>Fill out and submit forms and AJAX form elements using the test case browser.</li> <li>Handle file and image uploads in test cases.</li> <li>Write unit tests, and understand how the workflow for running unit tests differs from that of functional tests.</li> <li>Use the SimpleTest 7.x-2.x module from contrib to test existing websites.</li> </ul> This series assumes that you have basic understanding of Object Oriented PHP, and are familiar with Drupal module development. If you need to brush up on your module development watch our series on <a href="https://drupalize.me/videos/introduction-module-development-drupal-7"">Drupal 7 Module Development</a>. And, while not required to run tests, we do make use of drush in this series so knowing <a href="https://drupalize.me/videos/what-drush?p=1156">how to run drush commands</a> is helpful. Writing tests can be a challenging. But it doesn't have to be. And the benefits of doing so are huge. Especially as our web applications become more complex, as our teams grow, and as the multitude of ways in which people interact with our web applications changes constantly. Spending some time learning how to write tests will not only make your applications more reliable, it'll also make you a better developer. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://drupalize.me/videos/introduction-module-development-drupal-7"">Drupal 7 Module Development series</a></li> <li><a href="https://drupalize.me/videos/what-drush?p=1156">Introduction to Drush</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Eu8vWcyb-UZqWC3cJoj21Xw82R-ITh35e2QLs2P4XXw.jpg.jpg3192015-01-14no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-automated-testing2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9What Is Automated Testing?<p>Developers write tests for a variety of different reasons and understanding why, and how, writing tests can improve the quality of our code and our sanity helps motivate ourselves to write tests. The tests we write usually take one of two forms. Functional tests are used to test an applications behavior. When I click this link does it take me to the about page? Unit tests are used to verify the logic within a small segment, or unit, of code. When I call this function that is supposed to return a link with these specific parameters does it return the correct data? There are a ton of reasons that investing time and resources into writing automated tests is a big win in the long run and in this lesson we'll cover a bunch of them, including:</p> <ul> <li>Eliminate repetitive tasks.</li> <li>Improve overall stability of an application.</li> <li>Ensure critical paths & edge cases function.</li> <li>Reduce (not eliminate) the number of tests that need to be performed manually.</li> </ul> <h3>Types of Tests</h3> <p>There are are two main types of tests and we're going to be writing. <span style="line-height: 1.75;">Functional tests, and Unit tests.</span></p> <p><strong>Functional tests</strong>, also known as integration tests, test the functionality of a particular aspect of an application by simulating normal interaction with that system. In the case of web software this usually refers to simulating a user navigating and interacting with the website as if they where using their browser, keyboard, and mouse.</p> <p><strong>Unit testing</strong> is the art and practice of taking a small portion of code, a unit, and subjecting it to programmatic tests to prove its correctness. For example, testing a function that performs unit conversion by comparing a known input with an anticipated result.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> This video references qa.drupal.org which is no longer in use. On <a href="https://qa.drupal.org/node/233.html">Friday, October 23rd 2015</a> - qa.drupal.org received and processed it's last test.

While the mechanics are different now, the end result is still all patches to Drupal core are automatically tested.</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/cClE2GT4TzwyPs51dBQYclcw7rGUv6IrZdqloj8Ed44.jpg.jpg9902015-01-14no https://drupalize.me/blog/release-day-more-module-development2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/understanding-simpletests-terminology-and-methodology2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Understanding SimpleTest's Terminology and MethodologySimpleTest is the tool that Drupal 7 core uses for discovering, and running all of it's tests. SimpleTest is also the name of the system that is used to write tests that can be run by the SimpleTest module. Understanding how SimpleTest locates the code that makes up our tests, and then executes that code, is an important part of understanding how to write tests. In this lesson we'll be discussing the pieces that make up the SimpleTest toolkit, some related terminology, and some best practices for dealing with SimpleTests in Drupal. <strong>Methodology</strong> Some best practices to keep in mind when working with SimpleTest and writing tests. <ul> <li>Tests should always be run in a separate environment from your production site.</li> <li>Each test case sets up a completely new Drupal env, as such your test case needs to prepare the new environment as appropriate for your tests. Things like enabling any necessary modules, creating dummy content, and users etc. For this reason, it's best to have tests that require a similar setup be part of the same test case for better performance.</li> <li>After a test case is run the environment is torn down and started fresh for the next test case. This ensures there is no contamination between test cases and that each test can count on knowing exactly what to expect from the environment it's running in.</li> <li>SimpleTest is not always ideal for doing functional testing of your existing site. Drupalize.Me for example, we want to test that our About page is visible. But that's content, and doesn't live in code anywhere so creating it at install time can be tricky: We'll cover this scenario in more depth later.</li> <li>Always test both sides of the problem. If your site only allows authenticated users to make comments, and you write a test to make sure authenticated users can comment you'll also want to make sure you write a test that verifies that anon. users can not comment. If you're checking that a value exists under specific conditions, also verify that it doesn't exist when those conditions are not met</li> </ul> <strong>Terminology</strong> SimpleTest: The original name of the module used for testing in Drupal. Though it's now called just "Testing", the terms are used interchangeably. Based on the PHP SimpleTest library. Test Case: A set of conditions under which the tester will determine whether the system being tested satisfies requirements and works correctly. A Test case defines the environment in which a test or set of tests will run. Including preconditions such as what modules are enabled, what content exists, etc. It is assumed that these same preconditions are true for all individual tests within a test case. In Drupal, all test cases are classes that extend the <code>DrupalWebTestCase</code>, or the <code>DrupalUnitTestCase</code> class. Test (Test method): Each individual test checks the functionality of one discreet thing. Example, if our test case is "User cancellation" there are many variations of cancellation that we need to test. Cancel the account and keep their content, cancel the account and delete their content, don't allow cancellation of the account with UID 1, etc. Each of these individual tests is checking one piece of functionality with the test case. Assertion: The smallest unit of a test. An assertion is used to check wether or not a given condition is true in the current context. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <div><a href="https://www.drupal.org/simpletest">SimpleTest Main Documentation</a></div> <div><a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/394888">SimpleTest Overview</a></div> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/2tBk3VzJvWkzLLQ7ygPV0B_JXKHvBiDSex_tOf-BKto.jpg.jpg7952015-01-14no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/installing-simpletest-and-running-tests2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Installing SimpleTest and Running TestsBefore we get into writing our own tests we need to enable the SimpleTest module, and while we're at it we may as well talk about the various configuration options it has. And then why not run a few of the tests that come with Drupal core as a way to learn how to discover and run all the tests, a group of tests, or even an individual test case. The SimpleTest module comes with Drupal 7 core, but is not enabled by default. So we can start by enabling the module. On the administration page for enabling modules the module is listed as "Testing" instead of SimpleTest which can be a bit confusing. The the UI you'll almost always see the name "Testing", but in the code, documentation, and at the command line it's generally referred to as SimpleTest. Once the module is enabled there are just a few new permissions and configuration options to cover. The new 'run tests' permission, and a couple of settings related to enabling verbose output for debugging of tests. Make sure you check them all out. Tests can be run in a variety of different ways, either from your browser using the Testing module's UI, or at the command line with drush. We'll cover both of them in this lesson. And in doing so we'll look at how to run a group of tests, or an individual test case, and the output that's generated by running tests. I've also got a module (which you can download from this page) that contains a couple of failing tests. This way we can run a test case that fails, and see what the output looks like from a failure. SimpleTest outputs some helpful debugging information, and with the verbose option enabled will even save the generated HTML of each page the SimpleTest browser saw so that we can review it after the test run is complete. If you're not familiar with drush checkout our <a href="https://drupalize.me/videos/what-drush?p=1156">series on using drush</a>. By the end of this lesson you should be able to enable and configure the simple test module and run some tests. <strong>Example drush commands</strong> Run all tests in the "Block" group: <pre><code>drush -l http://localhost/demos/simpletest-7x/docroot test-run Block</code></pre> Run just the "BlockHashTestCase" test case: <pre><code>drush -l http://localhost/demos/simpletest-7x/docroot test-run BlockHashTestCase</code></pre> <strong>Note:</strong> as of Drush 7 the <code>drush test-run</code> command is no longer part available. See https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/issues/599. You can either, use Drush 6, or use the <code>scripts/run-tests.sh</code> scrip that comes with Drupal core. See the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/645286">documentation for the run-tests.sh script</a> for more information. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/WCAVilBZf2EBUpKRhdTWg1zUk3EPTjKJOLRTrF1kiv8.jpg.jpg11822015-01-14no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/learning-test-case-basics-writing-hello-world-test2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Learning Test Case Basics by Writing a Hello World TestIn this lesson we'll write a hello world test that navigates to the front page of a standard Drupal installation and verifies the existence of the text, "No front page content has been created yet.". This will allow us to walk through creating a .test file, adding it to our modules .info file, as well as cover the basics of extending <code>DrupalWebTestCase</code> to write our own test case. For this lesson we'll use the helloworld sample module as a starting point and expand it to add a very basic test. The goal being to gain a better understanding of how the SimpleTest module discovers, and runs our tests. Then in future lessons we can expand on our test case to add more robust features. All SimpleTest tests are an extension of either the <code>DrupalWebTestCase</code> (we'll focus on this one), or the <code>DrupalUnitTestCase</code> base classes. There are two pieces to the discover process. Writing a new class that extends one of the base classes, and then declaring the file that contains this new class in your module's .info file so that the file and it's code are indexed and inserted into the registry. Create a new file inside the helloworld module's directory: <em>tests/helloworld.test</em>. The convention is to name files that contain test classes with a .test extension. Similar to how module file, despite being purely PHP, are named with a .module extension. Then we'll add a basic skeleton test class like so: <pre><code> class HelloworldTests extends DrupalWebTestCase { /** * Metadata about our test case. */ public static function getInfo() { return array( 'name' => 'Hello World', 'description' => 'Tests for the Hello World module.', 'group' => 'Hello World Group', ); } } </code></pre> Our class includes a <code>getInfo()</code> method, it's required, and it returns a simple associative array with meta-data about our test. This information is used by the SimpleTest UI and other test runners to provide human readable information about our tests and to do things like group like tests together. When you view the lists of tests in the SimpleTest UI, you're seeing the 'name', and 'description' provided by your test classes' getInfo() method. All tests should have a setUp() method as well. This method is called by the test runner after Drupal has been installed, but before our tests are run. It gives us the chance to perform any additional configuration on the environment within which the tests are running. In our case, we need to enable the helloworld module since it's not part of the default install profile. We can do that by delegating to the parent classes' setUp() method and passing an array of modules we want enabled. That might look something like this: <pre><code> /** * Perform any setup tasks for our test case. */ public function setUp() { parent::setUp(array('helloworld')); } </code></pre> Finally, we need to provide at least one method whose name starts with "test". This method, and all others whose name starts with test will be called in succession by the test runner and are expected to contain the assertions that make up our individual test. <pre><code> public function testHelloWorld() { $this->drupalGet('helloworld'); $this->assertText('Hello World. Welcome to Drupal.', 'The page content is present.'); } </code></pre> This test will navigate to the url /helloworld, and then verify that the text "Hello World. Welcome to Drupal.", is displayed on the page. In order for our test to show up in the SimpleTest UI we need to add it to the registry. We can do so by modifying the <em>helloworld.info</em> file and adding the line <code>files[] = tests/helloworld.test</code> to the file. Then clear the cache and Drupal should discover your new test case and allow you to run the tests either through the SimpleTest UI or with drush. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21simpletest%21drupal_web_test_case.php/class/DrupalWebTestCase/7">DrupalWebTestCase documentation</a> <a href="https://drupalize.me/blog/201502/write-hello-world-test-drupal-7-simpletest">Written tutorial based on this video</a> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/rofadbbcQJLLX4inuX_fLnjZkaUjLw8nmWyAgVYw0xo.jpg.jpg8522015-01-21no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/different-types-assertions-simpletest2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Different Types Of Assertions in SimpleTestAssertions are like the answer sheet a teacher uses when grading a multiple choice test. When we write tests our primary objective is to check, or assert, that the state of some system, or the value of some variable, in the specified context matches our expectations. Like saying, "I expect that when I break this cookie in half I'll see chocolate pieces.". If you break the cookie and they are not there you might then decide that this particular cookie does not pass the chocolate chip cookie test. And flag it for review. There are a lot of different types of assertions that we can make when using SimpleTest and this lesson attempts to demystify what each of the different types of assertions does. There is some really good documentation about the various types of assertions and some examples of using them in the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/265828">Assertions documentation page</a> on Drupal.org. Not all of the assertions in SimpleTest are listed there though. For that, your best bet is to look at the <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21simpletest%21drupal_web_test_case.php/class/DrupalWebTestCase/7">API documentation for DrupalWebTestCase</a>, and use the filter field at the top of the table to limit the list to only methods that start with the keyword "assert". This will give you a complete, and up-to-date list of all the assertions. <strong>Basic assertion types reference:</strong> <p>Checking the value of something</p> <ul> <li>assertTrue</li> <li>assertFalse</li> <li>assertNull</li> <li>assertNotNull</li> <li>assertEqual</li> <li>assertNotEqual</li> <li>assertIdentical</li> <li>assertNotIdentical</li> </ul> <p>Checking for the presence of something</p> <ul> <li>assertPattern</li> <li>assertNoPattern</li> <li>assertRaw</li> <li>assertNoRaw</li> <li>assertText</li> <li>assertNoText</li> <li>assertTitle</li> <li>assertNoTitle</li> <li>assertUniqueText</li> <li>assertNoUniqueText</li> <li>assertLink</li> <li>assertNoLink</li> <li>assertResponse</li> </ul> <p>Checking form elements</p> <ul> <li>assertFieldById</li> <li>assertNoFieldById</li> <li>assertFieldByName</li> <li>assertNoFieldByName</li> <li>assertFieldChecked</li> <li>assertNoFieldChecked</li> <li>assertOptionSelected</li> <li>assertNoOptionSelected</li> </ul> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/265828">Drupal.org Assertion Examples / Documentation</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/kYvdSV7DqZwIahh5hFPNqtbveMtXB8Bo8cg4Geq8PSU.jpg.jpg11132015-01-21no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/navigating-site-simpletests-browser2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Navigating a Site with SimpleTest's BrowserIf we're going to do functional testing of the various pages in our application we'll need to be able to navigate to the pages in question. The DrupalWebTestCase's built in browser provides us with two different ways to navigate our site. In this lesson we'll explore using the <code>DrupalWebTestCase'::drupalGet()</code>, and <code>DrupalWebTestCase::clickLink()</code> functions in order to navigate throughout our application. The former is useful when we know the exact URL of the page we want to navigate to and the latter is useful when we don't necessarily know the URL but we know which link to follow to get there. I like to think of <code>DrupalWebTestCase::drupalGet()</code> as typing an address into the URL bar in my browser. I know the page I want to navigate to so take me right to it. <code>DrupalWebTestCase::drupalGet()</code> can be used inside a test case like so: <pre><code> public function testHelloWorld() { $this->drupalGet('helloworld'); } </code></pre> This points the SimpleTest internal browser to the <code>helloworld</code> page on our site, and loads the HTML content of that page into the buffer so we can perform assertions on its content. <code>DrupalWebTestCase::clickLink()</code> on the other hand is more like looking at the content of the page, reading through the links in the navigation menu and then deciding that you would like to click on the one labeled "Hello World". You don't know what address it's going to take you to, but that's okay because what matters is that you end up on the page. <code>DrupalWebTestCase::clickLink()</code> operates by scanning the SimpleTest browsers buffer of the current page's HTML content for any link whose label matches the value provided. <pre><code> public function testHelloWorld() { $this->clickLink('Hello World'); } </code></pre> This would have the effect of clicking on the following link: <pre><code> &lt;a href="helloworld"&gt;Hello World&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> Or really, just extracting the value of the href attribute from that a tag and feeding it to <code>DrupalWebTestCase::drupalGet()</code>. I find the best reference for these helper methods is located in the Drupal.org handbook. https://www.drupal.org/node/265762 <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/265762">SimpleTest helper method reference</a></p> <p><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21simpletest%21drupal_web_test_case.php/class/DrupalWebTestCase/7">DrupalWebTestCase API documenation</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/sSdrnNRfjGqb25DTKSt3egsjxBa4NpyHKyZ15JfokvA.jpg.jpg7372015-01-21no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/testing-and-submitting-forms-simpletest2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Testing and Submitting Forms with SimpleTestMuch of the functionality that web based applications provide is in the form of an HTML form. Enter some data into the various fields, press the submit button, and see what happens. The DrupalWebTestCase provides a handful of methods to aid in interacting with forms. In this lesson we'll take a look at filling out various types of form fields, submitting forms, and validating the result. We'll start by navigating to a page that contains a form and simply verifying that the appropriate fields are found on the page. <pre><code> $this->drupalGet('helloworld/form'); $this->assertFieldByXpath("//form[@id='helloworld-cake-form']//input[@name='name']", '', 'The name field is present.'); $this->assertFieldByName('choice', 'cake', 'The choice field is present.'); </code></pre> This code checks for the <code>input name="name"</code> field, and the <code>select name="choice"</code> field, and ensures they are present on the page at hellworld/form. Then we'll use the <code>DrupalWebTestCase::drupalPost()</code> method to fill in, and submit, a form. Here's an example: <pre><code> $data = array( 'name' => '', 'choice' => 'chicken', ); $this->drupalPost('helloworld/form', $data, 'Submit'); $this->assertText('Your name field is required.', 'Name field is required.'); </code></pre> This code fills in the form on the hellworld/form page, and then clicks the submit button using the <code>DrupalWebTestCase::drupalPost()</code> method. The first argument is the URL at which the form lives, the location to which the HTTP POST request will be sent. The second argument is an associative array of values for the form fields. The keys are the names of the input elements, and the values are the information we would like to enter into those fields. In this lesson we also make use of the <code>$this->assertFieldByXPath()</code> method, which allows us to select a form element on the page using an <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_syntax.asp">XPath</a> selector. In our case, we need to do this because there are actually two input element on the page with their name attribute set to "name", and we need to make sure we're testing the correct one. If you're not familiar with XPath it's worth taking some time to review the syntax since chances are you're going to end up using it at some point when working with SimpleTest. For more information about these helper methods checkout the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/265762">API Functions handbook page</a>. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/265762">SimpleTest helper methods</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xpath_syntax.asp">XPath documentation</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/zUO7jifigHm_wGRquFtO6XzawdUxdT_TnTs3Nal8hK4.jpg.jpg12952015-01-21no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/handling-users-and-permissions-simpletest2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Handling Users and Permissions in SimpleTestTypically our application is going to require testing of functionality that is restricted to only users with a certain set of permissions. Like creating a new node for example. In order for the DrupalWebTestCase browser to test these pages we need to first log in to our site. In order to log in we need to have a username and password that we can use to login. In this lesson we'll look at using <code>DrupalWebTestCase::drupalCreateUser()</code> and <code>DrupalWebTestCase::drupalLogin()</code> in order to gain authenticated access to our application and then access and submit a restricted form. Here's an example of creating a user with the 'administer site configuration` permissions: <pre><code> $new_user = $this->drupalCreateUser(array('administer site configuration')); </code></pre> And then logging in as that user: <pre><code> $new_user = $this->drupalLogin($new_user); </code></pre> After that the SimpleTest browser will be logged in as that user and all requests that it makes will be authenticated. If you want to return to an anonymous user session you can use the <code>DrupalWebTestCase::drupalLogout()</code> method. For more information about these helper methods check out the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/265762">API Functions documentation</a> in the Drupal.org handbook. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/265762">SimpleTest helper method documentation</a></p> <p><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21simpletest%21drupal_web_test_case.php/function/DrupalWebTestCase%3A%3AdrupalLogin/7">DrupalWebTestCase::drupalLogin()</a></p> <p><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21simpletest%21drupal_web_test_case.php/function/DrupalWebTestCase%3A%3AdrupalCreateUser/7">DrupalWebTestCase::drupalCreateUser()</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/B9Zihv7IaEWQ8YI3D7-N_aRwd8W2lXk6sHdltL8r2cs.jpg.jpg8332015-01-21no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/creating-dummy-content-simpletest2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Creating Dummy Content with SimpleTestThere's another set of really useful helper methods that we haven't looked at yet which are geared towards creating dummy content for testing. Including simple tasks like generating random strings, or random names of a specified length, and more complex things like creating nodes, or even new content types. In this lesson we'll take a lot at the various helper methods in DrupalWebTestCase that assist in the creation of dummy content by creating various pieces of random content and then testing functionality based on that content. In order to demonstrate these tools lets look at writing some tests for the core statistics module which amongst other things tracks page views for content. In order to perform these tests we're going to need a piece of content that we can view, and then view again to ensure that the statistics are properly updating. Creating random strings can be done with <code>DrupalWebTestCase::randomName()</code> and <code>DrupalWebTestCase::randomString()</code>. Both methods take an argument that allows you to set the number of characters that should be returned, or you can just leave out to get the default. The difference between the two is that <code>DrupalWebTestCase::randomName()</code> will only use alphanumeric characters and the returned string will always start with a letter. This is useful for things like generating random usernames or email addresses, or other things that don't allow for special characters. The <code>DrupalWebTestCase::drupalCreateNode()</code> helper can be used to create nodes. While you could navigate to and fill out the form using SimpleTest this is much quicker and requires far less code. Here's an example of creating a node: <pre><code> $title = $this->randomName(); $settings = array( 'type' => 'page', 'promote' => 1, 'title' => $title, 'body' => array(LANGUAGE_NONE => array( array( 'value' => 'Copy goes here', 'format' => filter_default_format(), ), )), ); $node = $this->drupalCreateNode($settings); </code></pre> This will create a new page node with a random title and the string "Copy goes here" in the body field. The array of values passed to <code>DrupalWebTestCase::drupalCreateNode()</code> should mirror the structure of a node object. If you're unsure what that structure is one easy way to figure it out is to use node_load() to retrieve an existing node and inspect the returned object. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <div><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21simpletest%21drupal_web_test_case.php/function/DrupalTestCase%3A%3ArandomName/7">DrupalWebTestCase::randomName()</a></div> <div><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21simpletest%21drupal_web_test_case.php/function/DrupalTestCase%3A%3ArandomString/7">DrupalWebTestCase::randomString()</a></div> <div><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21simpletest%21drupal_web_test_case.php/function/DrupalWebTestCase%3A%3AdrupalCreateNode/7">DrupalWebTestCase::drupalCreateNode()</a></div> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/2EJZu9z8xdIoN6X9Mw9zRv40_4I9N0ksok0-WExIAyk.jpg.jpg12042015-01-28no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/uploading-files-and-submitting-ajax-forms-simpletest2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Uploading Files and Submitting AJAX Forms with SimpleTestOne element of interacting with a web application that we haven't looked at yet is uploading files. How does the DrupalWebTestCase browser attach a file to the the image field when filling out an article form? In this lesson we'll look at the helpers that DrupalWebTestCase has for handling file interactions including how to use the sample files provided in core, attaching files to a file upload input element, and submitting a form with files attached. In order to demonstrate this we'll be writing a test that creates a new article node with an image attached by filling out the article node creation form and submitting it. You can get a list of the dummy/test files that come with SimpleTest using the <code>DrupalWebTestCase::drupalGetTestFiles()</code> method. Whenever possible I recommend making use of the provided files. <pre><code> $files = $this->drupalGetTestFiles('image'); $this->verbose(print_r($files, TRUE)); </pre></code> You'll need to tell SimpleTest what type of files you're interested in, and it'll then return an array of the available files of that type. Valid types are: 'binary', 'html', 'image', 'javascript', 'php', 'sql', 'text'. Check out <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21simpletest%21drupal_web_test_case.php/function/DrupalWebTestCase%3A%3AdrupalGetTestFiles/7">the DrupalWebTestCase::drupalGetTestFiles documentation</a> for more information. Once you've got the list of files you can attach files to a form element using <code>DrupalWebTestCase::drupalPost()</code> by specifying the full path to the file as the value for the file or image field in the $data array. <pre><code> $images = $this->drupalGetTestFiles('image'); $image_realpath = drupal_realpath($images[0]->uri); $edit = array( 'title' => 'Test Article With Image', 'files[field_image_und_0]' => $image_realpath, ); </code></pre> If SimpleTest doesn't contain a suitable file you can use your own by including the file with your module, and then using the full path to that file in your tests. <pre><code> $custom_file = drupal_get_path('module', 'helloworld') . '/tests/test.csv'; $realpath = drupal_realpath($custom_file); </code></pre> This lesson also covers the use of <code>DrupalWebTestCase::drupalPostAJAX()</code>, which allows for the simulation of an AJAX request using the SimpleTest browser. The primary difference between it and the drupalPost method is you need to specify the name of the element that triggers the AJAX request. <pre><code> $this->drupalPostAJAX('node/add/article', $edit, 'field_image_und_0_upload_button'); </code></pre> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/30011">Documentation about SimpleTest file uploads</a></p> <p><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21simpletest%21drupal_web_test_case.php/function/DrupalWebTestCase%3A%3AdrupalGetTestFiles/7">DrupalWebTestCase::drupalGetTestFiles()</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/VmjknfMfqdmn3Ao820_-AQIEwU1yNJALfbMrhbNvQcY.jpg.jpg11022015-01-28no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/writing-unit-tests-using-drupalunittestcase2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Writing Unit Tests Using DrupalUnitTestCaseDue to the tightly coupled nature of much of Drupal 7's code most of the test suite is based around functional tests and not unit tests. However, there are a handful of unit tests in core as well as the <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21simpletest%21drupal_web_test_case.php/class/DrupalUnitTestCase/7"><code>DrupalUnitTestCase</code></a> class that we can extend to write our own unit tests. Since unit tests are an important part of a complete test suite lets take a look at how we can extend the <code>DrupalUnitTestCase</code> class and add some unit tests to our module. While functional tests do a good job of telling us that something is broken and we should fix it they often are not very helpful for locating the exact problem. Unit tests on the other hand are much more specific and can generally tell us both that something is wrong, and what is wrong. Unit tests don't have access to the database or the file system since they are not run in the context of a fully bootstrapped Drupal environment. Note that calling any Drupal functions which attempt to access the database will result in an exception being thrown and cause your tests to fail. This includes functions like <code>watchdog()</code>, and <code>module_implements()</code>. However, because Drupal doesn't have to be bootstrapped, and we don't have to create an entirely new environment, unit tests are a whole lot faster to execute than functional tests. In this lesson we're going to take a look at writing a unit test for a function in our module that is used to convert a length of time in seconds to a string like 1 hour 6 minutes. We'll start by looking at the code that does the conversion, and then come up with a list of known inputs and their expected outputs. Finally, we'll write a unit test by adding a new .test file that contains our unit tests and bombarding our conversion function to make sure it's working properly. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21simpletest%21drupal_web_test_case.php/class/DrupalUnitTestCase/7">DrupalUnitTestCase()</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/KzbEsZ7eTHIfnd_9SnhI1H6cKO2Rut_1PkBrcUu_ghA.jpg.jpg8462015-01-28no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/testing-existing-site-simpletest-2x2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Testing an Existing Site with SimpleTest 2.xSo far all the tests that we've written are testing the functionality of our module in the context of a fresh Drupal install. However, in the real world we're also going to want to have tests that test the content of our application. As well as other things that it's unrealistic to assume we'll also have the time and resources to write a complete installation routine to replicate. Instead, it would be nice if we could test against a clone of our site rather than a from scratch installation of Drupal. The SimpleTest module included with Drupal 7 core doesn't support this feature. However, the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/simpletest">7.x-2.x version of the module in contrib</a> has a <code>DrupalCloneTestCase</code> class that we can extend instead of the usual DrupalWebTestCase that operates on a clone of the database from our existing site. Allowing us to test things like, "Does the about page exist.", and other mission critical features of our site. In this lesson we'll take a look at installing the SimpleTest module from contrib, and writing some new tests using the 2.x version of the API in order to test an existing website. Note that after you install the 2.x version of the SimpleTest module none of the tests we've written so far, or any of the tests from core will be in the list of available tests to run. This is because each tests needs to explicitly declare that it is compatible with the 2.x version of the test suite. This is done in the .info file of the module that provides the tests. Add this to your .info file: <pre><code> testing_api = 2.x </code></pre> As of the time that this video was recorded you also need to apply the patch in <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/983266">this SimpleTest issue</a>. The current version of the patch to use is https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/983266-10-simletest-clone.patch.

Although every line of code added or changed in Drupal core goes through rigorous peer review, contributed modules are more of a Wild West where anyone who jumps through a few basic hoops can add modules for everyone to download. Whether or not a module is well maintained, its overall code quality, and how well used it is in the overall community are all important factors for you to consider when selecting modules.

When it comes to tabular information, though, most of us fall back on simple HTML tables in the body field. The TableField module aims to fix that by storing and editing data tables with a single consolidated Drupal field type. In this tutorial we'll give you an overview of how to use the TableField module. This tutorial is based on a Lullabot Module Monday article.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://www.lullabot.com/blog/article/module-monday-tablefield">Lullabot.com TableField article</a><br /> <a href="https://drupal.org/project/tablefield">TableField module</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/NMo0YKRObZ_eU4Jetz4McUwTreDVI5n-yslvzOGK30o.jpg.jpg2742015-02-04no https://drupalize.me/course/using-drupal-chapter-9-online-store2024-07-03T00:04Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/case-study-sweet-tees2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Case Study: Sweet TeesMany businesses, both large and small, would like to take better advantage of their web presence by selling their products or services directly online. Setting up ecommerce, however, can be a very daunting task. In this series you will create an online t-shirt shop, and in the process you will learn how to use the basic pieces of Drupal Commerce, including setting up a Paypal payment system, along with an introduction to the Feeds module, for importing our catalog, and the Rules module, to set up taxes. In this lesson we'll kick things off by reviewing the requirements for the Sweet Tees store, and discuss how we'll be going about implementing them. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a><br /> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/EB_V0O2Ajvdg56MITNJFr_wcdX0ot_L2dWwHsuDOTrk.jpg.jpg3252014-11-19no https://drupalize.me/blog/release-day-form-api-theme-functions-and-more-drush2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/spotlight-drupal-commerce2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Spotlight: Drupal Commerce<p>Drupal Commerce is a complete package for running an online store. As such, it actually contains numerous submodules that each implement features of an online store, and can be turned on or off depending on the precise functionality required. In this section, we’ll look at each module in turn, and outline its purpose and where it fits. In this lesson we'll get an overview of the major components of Drupal Commerce, including:</p> <ul> <li>Carts, checkout, taxes, and payment</li> <li>Customers and orders</li> <li>Products and pricing</li> <li>Additional Drupal Commerce add-ons</li> </ul> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></li> <li><a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/commerce">Drupal Commerce project</a></li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/O0qXtkY5dTjNcqCBXIiBsExtFohEu9Ag3P2hT7j11mY.jpg.jpg9022014-11-19no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/spotlight-managing-products-drupal-commerce2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Spotlight: Managing Products with Drupal CommerceBefore we get to the first step in creating our store—adding products—it’s worth taking some time to discuss and understand how Drupal Commerce treats products within the system. While product management may appear unintuitive at first, the product management features in Drupal Commerce are designed to allow for maximum flexibility. In this lesson we'll explain what product types are, and take a look at both the required fields that come with them, and the custom fields you can add. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a><br /> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/EWfiRs9hIWPgFmbigMbrWe9xQC14bQH_N9GI5FCK-Ew.jpg.jpg3142014-11-19no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-products-and-product-types2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Products and Product TypesThe first step in setting up our online t-shirt store is to turn on a formidable array of modules to enable the Drupal Commerce module, and then set up product types for the merchandise that Sweet Tees sells: T-shirts and stickers. In this lesson we'll get the right modules enabled, configure our two product types, and then create some sample products to make sure it's all working the way we expect. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a><br /> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/88OgL-vckQN_YoWMfYqWD1_G84scAQdI5my6WFGRxe0.jpg.jpg5412014-11-19no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/spotlight-feeds-module2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Spotlight: Feeds ModuleThe Feeds module provides the capability to ingest data from any number of different sources and transform it into native Drupal constructs. It’s a versatile tool that can be used for things such as large-scale data migration, automatically populating a block of recent content from external sites, or synchronizing content posted among multiple sites. In this lesson we'll learn how Feed importers are created with the three main pieces of Fetchers, Parsers, and Processors. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a><br /> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a><br /> <a href="http://drupal.org/project/feeds" style="line-height: 1.75;">Feeds project</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/lo-Fy75oLEMVochZsqHTE4Cu6bAwTdidl1xR9UoqAIA.jpg.jpg3712014-11-19no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-bulk-importing-product-data2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Bulk-Importing Product DataNow that we’re familiar with the Feeds module’s data import tools, let’s turn our attention to importing t-shirt products for Sweet Tees. Sweet Tees has kindly furnished us with a comma-separated values (CSV) file containing all of their t-shirt product data for this purpose. CSV is a common data export format from databases and spreadsheet programs. A CSV file is a simple text file that encodes a data set with each record on its own line, and a separator (such as a comma or tab) between the data values. In this lesson we'll create a feed importer for CSV files, map the CSV data to our Drupal Commerce products, and then actually import the CSV product data into our store. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a><br /> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/aG82x4eU5x33I14uBwo7AMngNFOxd1bmywrCa0jrqsU.jpg.jpg4652014-11-19no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/spotlight-building-storefront-and-shopping-cart2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Spotlight: Building the Storefront and Shopping CartNow that all of this groovy product data is showing up fine in the administrative interface, there’s just one problem: how do we expose these products on our public website to our customers? And further, how do we avoid displaying a product catalog with 25 entries in it, when from a customer’s point of view we only sell four products (three t-shirts and a sticker)? In this lesson we'll get an overview of how Drupal Commerce handles this with the concept of product displays and product attributes. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a><br /> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/r8MqIodd9HEFZSGj-w1p-WVr-qHHgwPbzEuu9k9B-Ls.jpg.jpg2952014-11-19no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-product-displays2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Product DisplaysIn this lesson we'll put what we just learned into action by creating a content type for product displays, and a few sample products to get the hang of how things work. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a><br /> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/M59RQBFZm-4ktFAr1RUsJ1rfs1q30qE5RXf_2hA7P80.jpg.jpg2572014-11-19no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-creating-product-catalog2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Creating a Product CatalogIn this lesson we'll create a nice interface for browsing our products.

For example, if someone adds more than 10 of an item to his cart, a store might want to provide a 10% discount. Or if someone was anonymous and then registers or logs in, a store might want to assign his old shopping cart to his newly found account. Traditionally, this kind of custom logic would have to be done in code by a programmer. However, the Rules module exposes a user interface for clicking together custom logic in a web-based interface. This increases accessibility to non-programmers, and also allows for bits of business logic to be shared among multiple sites with the Rules module’s import and export capabilities. In this lesson we'll review the main architectural blocks of the Rules module, covering events, conditions, actions, variables, and data selectors. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a></li> <li><a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></li> </ul> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/0yAiHERyGhTsRayyOjrrT1sJcBQOIpkvUcu6ItcFznY.jpg.jpg5742014-11-19no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-taxes2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Taxes<p>In this lesson we'll try a practical example of some Rules module concepts for the Sweet Tees store. Drupal Commerce’s Tax module stores its tax charging in Rules. Before we can open up our store to the public, we need to ensure that all applicable sales taxes are being applied to our items. Because Sweet Tees is based in California, we will need to charge 7.25% sales tax on all products sold if the customer lives in the state of California. This means we need to set up a conditional tax rate to only apply to California.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a><br /> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/j62MDUub0zNCCHJTnIQup8YgtBwRYQ6QKRuHDUOx65g.jpg.jpg3512014-11-19no https://drupalize.me/course/getting-started-responsive-web-design-drupal-72024-06-27T23:03Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/introduction-responsive-web-design-drupal2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Introduction to Responsive Web Design in Drupal<p>In this series, Getting Started with Responsive Web Design in Drupal, we'll take an old Drupal theme based on a 960 pixel grid, and convert it, step by step, using just good ole CSS and HTML, to be more fluid, more flexible, more responsive than ever.</p> <p>Our case study is the Anytown Farmers Markets. Anytown Farmers Markets has an existing web site that uses a theme based on a 960 pixel grid. It works great on larger screens, pretty well on iPads, but on an iPhone, the text is really small and you have to pinch and zoom and horizontally scroll to get around the screen.</p> <p>Our goal will be to transition the site from a fixed width two column desktop site to a fluid and flexible site whose layout, images, and type gracefully transform at practically any size screen to provide a user-friendly experience where our site's content can be enjoyed by users browsing with a more diverse set of devices.</p> <p>Throughout this series, you'll learn how to use, configure, and customize the style of a Drupal contributed module that provides a responsive, mobile-friendly main menu. We'll tackle images, tables, and slideshows and explore some select solutions for making these traditionally rigid elements flex with a fluid container. In the process of converting this theme to be responsive, you'll learn to tackle some real-world, sometimes messy and often times not-so-clear-cut problems and potential solutions.</p> <p>To take advantage of this series, you'll want to be comfortable with HTML and CSS and the basics of setting up a theme in Drupal 7. You don't need to know Sass or any advanced theming. This series will help you understand common problems encountered in responsive web design and how to solve them in the context of a Drupal 7 theme.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> Code: <a href="https://github.com/DrupalizeMe/demo-rwd-7x">https://github.com/DrupalizeMe/demo-rwd-7x</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/GvBckTzL9qwdYHh9Gk2g-M9MWQpm4Tor4SgYa0Yv32c.jpg.jpg3472014-12-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/setting-content-priorities-stack2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Setting Content Priorities that Stack up<p>In the process of transitioning their site to be more mobile friendly, The Anytown Farmers Market web team needs to take a closer look at what content they currently have on their site and how they may want to prioritize and deliver that content differently, given the broader audience base they are now targeting.</p> <p>As we adapt content and navigation regions to stack, we need to decide on a priority system for each page template. We'll take the home page as an example and discuss how each component and region should be prioritized when the content is stacked into one column.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://www.draw.io/">draw.io</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/102ANbziK8iZaRvWvG6QBUb3fAZuz-nboDvW89wqiK4.jpg.jpg8942014-12-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/spotlight-accepting-credit-card-payments-online2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Spotlight: Accepting Credit Card Payments OnlineOf course, it’s one thing to have a bunch of products ready for purchase, but what Sweet Tees really cares about is accepting money for those products. They want to be able to accept credit card transactions on their online store. There's more than what's on your Drupal site involved in this though. In this lesson, we'll discuss merchant accounts and payment gateways—what they are and why you need them, along with providing payment security. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a><br /> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/JxfK-aa65lv-T4YX3eUxd6jIyeln0Otvn2j1fb_amY8.jpg.jpg3722014-11-19no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-paypal2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: PayPalPayPal is a popular payment processor, especially for new site owners.

There are predominantly two “flavors” of PayPal’s payment processing tools: Website Payments Standard (WPS) and Website Payments Pro (WPP). For our purposes, we’ll be using Website Payments Standard, since there are no setup fees, no extra security setup required, and we can get started right away. In this lesson we'll create test PayPal buyer and seller accounts, set up access to the test sandbox, and make sure it is working properly. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920010890.do">Using Drupal, 2nd edition</a><br /> <a href="http://usingdrupal.com/source_code">Using Drupal source code</a><br /> <a href="https://www.paypal.com" style="line-height: 1.75;">PayPal</a></p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/MY-TxtJyZaAj3SESfiudIKvvvRYl_ReFYtRoBlTN6RY.jpg.jpg3302014-11-19no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/hands-configuring-payment-method2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Hands-On: Configuring a Payment MethodNow that we have the PayPal side of payments set up, it’s time to set up the Drupal side of things.

It has container and grid classes with widths declared in pixels—an absolute metric. In this lesson, we will take a first step in implementing a responsive design: converting absolute units to relative ones. We'll begin this process by editing the 960.css file, which contains the width declarations for our container and grid classes that make up our site's layout. Using the <strong>target ÷ context = result</strong> formula, we'll convert widths declared in pixels first to ems, then to percentages, with a little nudge of the decimal point over two places.</p> <p>With our layout's container and grid classes using relative widths declared in percentages, we'll be on well on our way to making our site more fluid and flexible.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <p><a href="https://github.com/DrupalizeMe/demo-rwd-7x">https://github.com/DrupalizeMe/demo-rwd-7x</a> (Checkout branch <strong>03-fluid-layout</strong>)</p>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/VBLWc-TltFqA3TrdFOthr-75fZr3VK5iwlV2ZU8Ypj8.jpg.jpg10132014-12-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/responsive-typography2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Responsive Typography<p>We're making progress in making our theme more flexible and fluid.

So while our relative sizing is technically working, it's not going to be terribly useful or make our content more readable and accessible until we add an important tag to the head of our html template file: the viewport meta tag.</p> <p>By adding the viewport meta tag to the head of our html template file, we're letting the browser know that we want the viewport size to be the size of the device, not some huge resolution more suitable for a 17" monitor, for example. This is a small but critical step in implementing a responsive design. Without it, our hard work of converting to relative units just isn't going to pay off.</p> <p>In this lesson, you'll learn how to add a viewport meta tag to the head of all html pages using a special Drupal template file that we'll create. Then we'll step back and admire the results using our mobile emulation tools.</p> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://github.com/DrupalizeMe/demo-rwd-7x">https://github.com/DrupalizeMe/demo-rwd-7x</a> (Checkout branch <strong>06-viewport-meta</strong>) <a href="https://drupalize.me/blog/201501/enable-responsive-layouts-viewport-meta-tag">Written tutorial based on this video</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/c7hzvkODlBgJFORtK5o8IO_Ltp5O2jKz2A1qQm4Jrds.jpg.jpg2014-12-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/restoring-natural-flow-elements2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Restoring the Natural Flow of Elements<p>While it's not forbidden to use absolute positioning in responsive designs, the way that absolute positioning was utilized in the original theme is less than ideal as we work on moving theme toward flexibility, fluidity, and responsiveness. </p> <p>In this lesson, we'll focus on putting elements in the header back into the natural flow of the document.

Anyone wanting to write modules, or themes, for Drupal will need to understand YAML syntax. Even site builders are likely to encounter YAML at least in passing as YAML is the data-serialization format of choice for Drupal's configuration management system. Good thing it's pretty easy to learn even with the most basic of programming backgrounds. This tutorial will look at the YAML data format and provide examples of how to write and read YAML. Starting with an introduction to the language's syntax and some of the strengths of YAML. Then looking at the difference between scalar data types like strings and integers, and collection data types like lists and associative arrays. Since YAML in the Drupal world is read into PHP and ultimately becomes a PHP data structure that we can use in our own code we'll also look at how the YAML we write in a <em>.yml</em> file is represented in PHP data types. To do this we'll use the YAML Sandbox module that provides a handy textarea into which we can type YAML and have it parsed into PHP data structures. <h4>Learning objectives</h4> <ul> <li>Explain what YAML is and its strengths as a data serialization format</li> <li>Create scalar key/value pairs in YAML</li> <li>Create lists, and associative arrays using YAML collections</li> <li>Understand how the YAML you write is represented in PHP</li> </ul> <h4>Tips</h4> <ul> <li>In Drupal, use the <em>.yml</em> extension and <strong>not</strong> <em>.yaml</em></li> <li>Ensure your code editing application is configured to use spaces (preferably 2 spaces, as per Drupal coding standards), <strong>not the tab character</strong> when the TAB key is pressed. If you have tab characters in a YAML file within a Drupal environment, a fatal PHP error will be thrown and you'll see a White Screen of Death (WSOD).</li> <li>Copy and paste from an existing YAML file to ensure the formatting is correct, and edit from there.</li> </ul> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li>http://www.yaml.org</li> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/yaml_sandbox">YAML Sandbox module</a></li> <li>Find other tutorials and external resources related to YAML on our <a href="https://drupalize.me/topic/yaml">YAML topic page</a> (Drupalize.Me)</li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/gRbpacIhr5hUiyVlwfPr6hm3MIH0yrzUnk43UBXcuKw.jpg.jpg7562014-12-31no https://drupalize.me/course/working-drupal-multisite2024-07-23T19:58Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-working-multiple-drupal-sites2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Overview of Working with Multiple Drupal SitesBuilding one Drupal site is a fair amount of work in and of itself. But what about working with multiple Drupal sites? Sometimes you have a few sites that make sense together, either from a maintenance perspective, or due to an overlap in content or users. There are a number of different ways to approach this in Drupal, and which path you follow varies considerably depending on the exact use case you need to fulfill. In this lesson we'll get a good look at the problem multiple sites can pose, and list out some common use cases. Then we'll take a look at three different broad categories of solutions, with some specific architectural approaches. The rest of this series will walk through managing multiple sites using Drupal core's built-in multisite system.

You need to be able to properly configure the domain name server (DNS) so your browser can match up a domain name with a web server, and then make sure the Apache web server knows which files to direct that incoming domain name to. In this lesson we're going to walk through the process from the browser request to the website files. We'll take a look at the Apache documentation on virtual hosts (or vhosts) and discuss where to find this configuration. Then we'll take a look at some example vhost files to see what's going on in there. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/">Apache Virtual Host documentation</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/UJEBHdFruJfYkqZWUmWWlzsDjtf9o3q3I0Ahp-wUEcE.jpg.jpg8362015-03-04no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/how-drupal-multisite-works2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9How Drupal Multisite WorksBefore we set up a multisite we need to understand how Apache and Drupal work together to deliver the site we intend. In this lesson we'll look at the documentation for Drupal multisites, and then discuss the way you need to set up your Drupal directories. We'll also review the workflow that Apache and Drupal go through to get the correct site displaying in the browser. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/documentation/install/multi-site">Multi-site - Sharing the same code base</a> (drupal.org)http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/4AzMYBqwfZdd7o2Fli431R8F9datCtldtzD237kW2wE.jpg.jpg3792015-03-04no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/configure-apache-multiple-domains2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Configure Apache for Multiple DomainsIn this lesson we'll be building a simple university site, udrupal.com, with different areas, each with their own website: the main site, a news site, and an alumni site. The news site is simply a subdomain of the main domain name, news.udrupal.com, and the alumni site actually has its own separate domain name, udrupalalumni.com. To get this done, you're going to learn how to confirm the DNS is working for the domain names. That is, that they are currently pointing to the right server. Then we're going to configure an Apache vhost on our server so that Apache knows where to find our Drupal code base. We'll finish things up by installing our main Drupal site, udrupal.com. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://drupalize.me/blog/201504/configure-apache-multiple-domains">Written tutorial based on this video</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/IvTgDLdew7aU36kIyX5Q-WockzwJZlBl-NU35xphvvg.jpg.jpg4572015-03-11no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/configure-drupal-multisite2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Configure Drupal for MultisiteWith our domains and Apache configuration in place, we need to make sure all three sites can be installed at the different domains by creating our multisite directories in the sites folder. In this tutorial, we'll create the necessary Drupal site directories and settings files for the three sites so they are all running smoothly, check the domains and install the other two sites, and wrap up by changing the theme on the alumni site. Before we get started, you should make sure you have two empty databases created for the two new sites we'll be installing. In this tutorial we're going to be working directly on a server using the command line. You can feel free to use a GUI interface for your site, like an SFTP app or just your local machine file browser and editor apps.

Solr is a Java-based application that provides an API for interacting with Apache Lucene via HTTP to facilitate the creation of excellent applications for performing full-text content searches, with a special focus on internet-based search applications. The quick pitch for why you should use Solr is it's insanely fast, especially when compared with Drupal's default Search module, and it can be scaled to handle millions of search queries per second and huge piles of data. Since Solr is a third party application we need a way to bridge the gap between Solr and Drupal. Really, there are two parts to this puzzle: getting the data out of Drupal and into Solr so it can be processed and indexed, and passing a search query from Drupal to Solr in order to retrieve, and display, search results. For that, we'll use the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api">Search API module</a>, and the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_solr">Search API Solr module</a>. In order to demonstrate a real-world use case we'll pretend that we're the owner of a website that contains a database of fish species. As the database has grown over time we've begun to feel the limits of Drupal's MySQL full-text search and want to improve our search tools. Using Solr will allow for better matches in full-text search, faster searches, and a lot of additional functionality like partial word matches, spell checking, facets, and more. In this series we'll cover: <ul> <li>What Apache Solr is and why you should consider using it</li> <li>Installing Solr and configuring it to work well with Drupal content</li> <li>The contributed Search API module</li> <li>The contributed Search API Solr module</li> <li>Configuring Drupal to send content to Solr for indexing</li> <li>Retrieving search results from Solr and displaying them in Drupal on both a stand-alone page and with the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/views">Views module</a></li> <li>Using Solr field boosting to influence result relevancy</li> <li>Using the contributed <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/facetapi">Facet API</a> module with Solr to allow for faceted search results</li> <li>Configuring stop words, synonyms, and promoted search results in Solr</li> </ul> This series is for anyone that wants to improve the quality of the search functionality of their Drupal-powered site. There is some system administration required to install Solr, but it's pretty straightforward. Almost everything else is done via configuration in Drupal's, or Solr's, user interface and by editing simple XML configuration files. So, no PHP, or module development experience required. We do however assume that you're already familiar with basic Drupal administration. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li>http://lucene.apache.org/solr/</li> <li>https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api</li> <li>https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_solr</li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/3T0PG5JdbfCldcX0hZatZpTA6RPmKkEUZeSBtSfmR9s.jpg.jpg3132015-05-20no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/why-use-apache-solr-drupal2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Why Use Apache Solr with Drupal?Apache Solr is a world class search application built on top of the Lucene indexer. Before we start trying to integrate Solr with Drupal lets talk about what Solr is, and what makes it so good, as well as how Solr differs from the Drupal core database-backed Search module. This tutorial is a short presentation explaining Solr, Lucene, and things to consider when choosing Solr as a search technology. <a href="http://lucene.apache.org/">Lucene</a> is an open-source search indexer written in Java and governed by the Apache foundation. It is the underlying library that handles storing indexed content, and does so in a way that makes it extremely flexible. By treating each record as a document made up of any number of different fields Lucene is capable of storing just about anything you throw at it, as long as the resource can be broken up into fields and the textual data can be extracted from those fields. This makes it a good choice for indexing web based content where you might be dealing with HTML, PDF, XML, Microsoft Word, and all kinds of other document formats. <a href="http://lucene.apache.org/solr/">Solr</a>, is an HTTP API for interacting with the Lucene application that makes it easier to create custom search applications. Like Lucene it is also open source, written in Java, and governed by the Apache foundation. Solr's extensive use of XML configuration files allows you to modify almost everything about how Solr works without having to write any Java. This makes it a great choice for anyone that's familiar with PHP but doesn't have Java experience. When compared with Drupal core's Search module, or any MySQL full-text search tool, Solr has some distinct advantages. Including: <ul> <li>Best-in-class stemming and tokenization</li> <li>Scalability; it's designed to scale both vertically and horizontally as needed</li> <li>Built-in support for facets, geospatial searches, and other advanced query options</li> </ul> In addition to these advantages, using Solr for your search can dramatically improve your Drupal site's performance by eliminating costly full-text queries, which can quickly turn MySQL into a bottleneck for sites with even a modest amount of content. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to explain the advantages that Solr provides over Drupal core's search module and why it's a good choice for building ultra-fast, and accurate, search applications. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://lucene.apache.org/solr/">Apache Solr</a></li> <li><a href="http://lucene.apache.org/">Apache Lucene</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/6DBMOLlJtQdDcy3LjPcsxOw8LowPYVCtn-iC11lKP5Y.jpg.jpg7362015-05-20no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/search-api-module-drupal-72023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Search API Module for Drupal 7When it comes to integrating Apache Solr with Drupal there are currently two different modules that can be used, <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api">Search API</a>, and the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/apachesolr">Apache Solr module</a>. While both are valid options, for this series we've chosen to focus on the Search API module because amongst other things it's generally more flexible, and based on conversations with people in the community who are working on Solr integration it is currently seeing more focused development efforts and will likely superseded the Apache Solr module sometime in the future. This tutorial provides some background information on the Search API module and why we've chosen to use it. We'll look at how the Search API module bridges the gap between Solr and Drupal, and explain some of the commonly used terms we'll encounter in the module's UI and codebase. By the end of this lesson you should be able to explain the Search API module's terminology, requirements, and position in the Drupal ecosphere, as well as be able to make a good case for why someone should choose the Search API module as a starting point for creating better search tools in Drupal. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api">Search API module</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/lfTn3BjbwFWXVku4KBwNH0E3BCLSSK6fH4YrEYY9B2k.jpg.jpg9442015-05-20no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/sample-content-indexing2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Sample Content for IndexingBefore we can start building a search application we need some sample data that we can index and use for testing, not to mention a site we can use to test this all out on. In this tutorial we'll walk through installing Drupal 7 and importing some sample data. In order for this to work I built a Drupal 7 site with a content type named Fish, and then imported a whole bunch of descriptions of various fish from Wikipedia. You should be able to use the provided database dump in order to get up and running with a sample Drupal site pre-populated with some sample data. If you're not planning on following along and building the fish finder application in the Search API and Solr series, or are planning on implementing Solr search on your own site instead you can probably skip this tutorial. Just note that the rest of the tutorials in the series assume you've got a working Drupal 7 site with some content. By the end of this tutorial you should have a working Drupal 7 site with sample content running on your localhost for playing with while watching the rest of the series. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/evJDf3Z6Aj0mLup4ldeRJ_54Nq6q451jJn6dLvaT18k.jpg.jpg4722015-05-20no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/install-apache-solr-localhost2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Install Apache Solr on LocalhostSolr is an application that runs on it's own, independent of Drupal. So before we can integrate our Drupal site with the Solr server we first need to install Solr and get it running. In this tutorial we'll walk through the requirements for installing Solr and then look at a quick and easy way to get it running on our localhost for development purposes. This setup is best for when you're working on a site locally, but have it hosted elsewhere and someone else is managing your Solr install for you. The basic process is to download the Solr application, unpack it somewhere on your localhost, and then run the start.jar file that comes with the example application: <code>java -jar start.jar</code>. To ensure it's working you can connect to the Solr web UI on your localhost at http://localhost:8983/solr/. Note: When using Solr with Drupal and the Search API module we currently need to use the most recent 4.x version of Solr, despite the fact that there is a 5.x version that just came out. At the time these tutorials where recorded the Search API module had not yet been updated to work with Solr >= 5.x. The general installation instructions for localhost development however are not likely to change much at all between Solr 4 and 5 so even if you're using Solr 5 this should still be relevant information. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to run Solr on your localhost and verify that it is working. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/solr/">Download Solr</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/1999310">Search API Solr solr installation documentation</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Y3oj_ahzsb-6LLt7Ij3P0yon9oUt58IhxgannDtCD24.jpg.jpg5032015-05-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/install-apache-solr-server2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Install Apache Solr on ServerIf you're installing Solr on a production server there are some additional considerations you'll want to be aware of. The most important thing is that instead of just running the Solr application directly you'll likely want to run it inside of a J2EE server container like Tomcat or Jetty. In this tutorial we'll look a installing Solr on Ubuntu using the same process that we would recommend for a production installation. We'll do this by starting with a Vagrant VM with nothing but Ubuntu installed and walk through the steps required to get Solr up and running. The steps are going to be similar, but different depending on your OS of choice, and it would be impossible for us to cover them all. So here's a general outline of what you'll want to do: <ol> <li>Install Java. Note, you need the full JDK for Solr not just the JRE.</li> <li>Install a J2EE application server like <a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/">Tomcat</a> or <a href="http://eclipse.org/jetty/">Jetty</a>.</li> <li>Download the version of Apache Solr you want to use.</li> <li>Configure your J2EE application server to run Apache Solr.</li> <li>Configure your system to automatically start/stop your application server.</li> </ol> We'll be following along with the instructions provided in <a href="https://www.lullabot.com/blog/article/installing-solr-use-drupal">this excellent blog post</a> by Ben Chavet over on Lullabot.com, though some of the commands will be a little different since software versions have changed, etc. If you prefer to follow along with written instructions, or want to have the list of commands next to you when it comes time to set things up for real, give that post a read. A note about security. We will NOT be going over how to restrict access to the Solr instance on the Ubuntu server as that's outside the scope of this tutorial. However, it's important that you do so. At a minimum you'll want to configure your firewall to prevent access to the Solr host from anything other then the web server where you Drupal site lives. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to list the requirements and considerations that need to be evaluated when installing Solr on a production server. Things you might want to copy/paste if you're following along: Content of Tomcat context file - <code>/usr/local/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/solr.xml</code> : <pre><code> &#x3C;Context docBase=&#x22;/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/solr.war&#x22; debug=&#x22;0&#x22; crossContext=&#x22;true&#x22;&#x3E; &#x3C;Environment name=&#x22;solr/home&#x22; type=&#x22;java.lang.String&#x22; value=&#x22;/usr/local/tomcat/solr&#x22; override=&#x22;true&#x22; /&#x3E; &#x3C;/Context&#x3E; </code></pre> Content of the Solr definition file - <code>/usr/local/tomcat/solr/solr.xml</code> : <pre><code> &#x3C;?xml version=&#x22;1.0&#x22; encoding=&#x22;UTF-8&#x22; ?&#x3E; &#x3C;solr persistent=&#x22;false&#x22;&#x3E; &#x3C;cores adminPath=&#x22;/admin/cores&#x22;&#x3E; &#x3C;core name=&#x22;drupal&#x22; instanceDir=&#x22;drupal&#x22; /&#x3E; &#x3C;/cores&#x3E; &#x3C;/solr&#x3E; </code></pre> <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://drupalize.me/videos/why-vagrant">Introduction to Vagrant</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.lullabot.com/blog/article/installing-solr-use-drupal">Installing Solr for use with Drupal article</a></li> <li><a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/">Apache Tomcat</a></li> <li><a href="http://eclipse.org/jetty/">Jetty</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/2Ec7G6XGJpZ7A4QewiRAejpBFDOosM-3DoM_T-Dt8OA.jpg.jpg15572015-05-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/install-search-api-solr2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Install Search API SolrIn this tutorial we'll walk through downloading and installing the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api">Search API module</a>, the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_solr">Search API Solr module</a>, and their dependencies. Then we'll look at using the Search API Solr configuration files with our Solr server. These configuration files are specially crafted to help with indexing data contained in a Drupal site and allow Solr to have a better understanding of Drupal's entities, fields, and the data that they contain. For example, mapping a Drupal Field API body field on a page node type to the appropriate field type in Solr. The gist of this tutorial is, locating the Solr configuration files in the <code>search_api_solr/solr-conf/</code> directory, talking a little bit about what each one does, and then demonstrating how to copy those files into the configuration for your Solr server so that Solr will start using them. After looking at the various configuration files, and then placing them into our Solr instance, we'll connect Drupal to our Solr server by creating a new Search API server configuration within Drupal's UI. This will allow us to confirm that our Apache Solr server, and Drupal, will be able to talk to one another. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to configure Solr to work with Drupal, connect the two, and verify that the connection is working. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li>https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api</li> <li>https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_solr</li> <li>https://www.drupal.org/project/entity</li> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2009760">Solr config file documentation</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/mVkNqTkqHtabtnbT5GDlpLsUhOCU12iUjHXh2uwUQMk.jpg.jpg9032015-05-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-search-api-index2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Create a Search API IndexIn order for Solr to provide search results we need to first send our Drupal content to the Solr server so that it can be indexed. In this tutorial we'll look at connecting the Search API module with the Solr server and creating an index that maps content in Drupal to data types in Solr. We'll also look at how the various configuration options effect the Solr index. After creating a Search API index configuration we'll look at running the indexer, essentially queuing all the content on our site for indexing, and then telling Drupal to send the documents on our site to the Solr server for indexing. This can be done either via the UI or with Drush. You can choose to index content as it's created, or for sites with higher rates of new content you can send it to the indexer in periodic batches. Whichever you choose, making sure that you've got a system in place for periodically sending items queued for indexing to Solr is a critical step. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to send content from Drupal to Solr for indexing, and verify that the content is showing up in the Solr server's index. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/d2qHkvyfnRT-g41Gctm1GIF8Wt8RG8rjFyODPDzbFMA.jpg.jpg9342015-05-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/display-results-search-api-pages2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Display Results With Search API PagesThe Search API module by itself doesn't provide a UI for submitting a search query, or a page for displaying results. Instead, it exposes an API that other modules can use to provide those features. This makes it super flexible, but it also means we've got some extra work to do in order to allow someone to actually perform a search and see the results. In this tutorial we'll look at using the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_page">Search API Pages module</a> to create a simple search page with a form at the top and a list of results ordered by relevancy. Search API Pages is the quickest and easiest way to replace the Drupal core search module's functionality with a form that uses Solr for a search backend instead of MySQL. When creating a new page with the Search API Pages module we can choose the view mode that we would like to use for displaying results. It works very nicely with Drupal's built-in view modes, as well as contributed modules like <a href="series/display-suite-drupal-7">Display Suite</a>, in order to allow for a high level of customization of <a href="videos/display-suite-view-modes">view modes</a>, and thus of the displayed results. You can also configure the query type to use, choosing from one of: multiple terms, single term, or direct query. For integration with Solr you'll likely want to choose direct query, and allow Solr to handle the query parsing since it has a lot of advanced options that go far beyond what Search API handles on its own. However, we'll look at the different query type configurations, and demonstrate things we can do with direct query searches and the powerful Solr query syntax that we can't do with the other modes. Finally, we'll look at the block that Search API Pages provides, and use it to replace the search form on the home page of our site with a form that points to our new Search API Pages search results page. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to expose a page on your site that will allow your visitors to perform a search using the Solr index and have the results displayed in Drupal. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_page">Search API Pages module</a></li> <li><a href="series/display-suite-drupal-7">Display Suite series</a></li> <li><a href="videos/display-suite-view-modes">Tutorial on view modes</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/UIFiMuhndA3Xcap4oF6VWm7pP3BXVsm6r9hVR-0ZKFg.jpg.jpg7772015-06-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-fields-and-assign-boost-values2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Add Fields and Assign Boost ValuesThere are a couple of configuration options available when configuring a Search API index that we haven't looked at yet: adding additional fields, and using boost values to increase the relevance of a keyword when found in a specific field. Solr allows you to index any number of additional fields, so we'll add a species and genus field to our index. This is one of the reasons using Search API to interface with Solr is so great. Through it's use of the Entity API, the Search API module has a deep understanding of all the content types on your site and the fields that are attached to them, without you having to write any code, or do anything other than configure things in the UI. One of the benefits of creating your own search index is that you know your data better than anyone, and you know what people are hoping to find in your content. Solr allows you to configure a boosting value that can be used to increase the relevancy of keywords found depending on where in the data it's located. For example, when someone searches for a keyword we can probably assume that if the keyword is in the page title that the keyword is worth more relevancy points than if the keyword is found in the page body. With boosting we can affect the relevancy ranking of results and help our users more quickly find what they are looking for. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to add additional fields to your Solr index so their content is available for searching, as well as assign a relevancy boosting value when keywords are found in specific fields. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/wjC0S0JX1gmoIm2qvBL-VfEXyu7LvApC_AJ-DhJl4-E.jpg.jpg6092015-06-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/data-alterations-and-processors2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Data Alterations and ProcessorsThe Search API module supports a handful of data alterations and processors; additional operations that can be performed on a document before it's indexed or during the display of search results. While Solr actually handles the majority of these for us already, this tutorial will look at the available options, talk about what each one does, and explain which ones are still relevant when using Solr as a backend. Looking at data alterations in the Search API module also raises an important point about security. By default, Search API doesn't care about your content's access control settings. In order to prevent people from seeing results for their searches that contain data they shouldn't have access to we need to make sure we account for that in our configuration. Here's a good list of the currently available <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/1254452">data alterations and processors</a>, though it's worth noting that not all of them are available for all search backends. Also, as we'll see, not all of them are recommended when using Solr even if they are available. Solr's tokenizer for example is much more full featured than the Search API tokenizer, so when using Solr as a backend it's best to keep the Search API tokenizer turned off and let Solr do its thing. By the end of this lesson you should be able to use data alterations and processors to filter out specific content types from your Solr index and to highlight keywords found when displaying search results. You'll also be able to explain why some alterations and processors are better left off so that Solr can handle those tasks directly. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li>https://www.drupal.org/node/1254452</li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/ZM6-911ZHaYW6vjEe_n7nRPUwAUvv1x5vW1PweulKhM.jpg.jpg6772015-06-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/display-search-results-search-api-views2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Display Search Results With Search API ViewsBeing able to display search results using the Views module provides a huge amount of flexibility with respect to what is listed, what it looks like, and more. In this tutorial we'll look at using the Search API Views module, included in the Search API project, to create a view that allows users to search our Solr index and display the results as a table, or really, in any other way that Views can display content. We'll also cover some special considerations regarding access control and entity relationships that we need to keep in mind when using Views to display search results. The biggest difference between creating a view that lists a bunch of nodes, and one that displays search results is that you need to use your Search API index as the base table from which you're building your view. Then, by default, the view only has access to the fields that are in the Solr index. This allows you to build the entire view without having to query the database. Or you can use the Views module's ability to define relationships to other buckets of content to query the database and pull in additional information. There's a huge amount of flexibility. When building views from the Solr index you can optionally expose one or more filters. Essentially creating a form that allows someone to construct a search query. This can be as simple as exposing a keyword text field, or as complex as you would like to get. We'll look at using exposed filters to create a form that users can perform a search with and create a more complete search experience. We'll also look at how you can move those exposed filters into a block that can be displayed on the home page of our site, allowing us to replace the functionality provided to the Drupal core Search module with Views and Solr. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to create a view that displays search results using the Search API Views module. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://drupalize.me/videos/overview-views">Introduction to Views series</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/NeJNA2IvmfYzdZHN7qf1Y4jBKmftnkcjVvpYav0xtqk.jpg.jpg10322015-06-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/narrow-search-results-facets2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Narrow Search Results with FacetsUsing facets allows users of your search application to further narrow the results returned from a keyword search by selecting one or more attributes of the returned content and saying either show me only these, or show me everything but these. In this tutorial we'll take a look at some examples of faceted searching in practice, and then we'll use the Facet API module to expose facets for our genus and species fields. One of the most common uses of facets is on e-commerce sites like <a href="http://zappos.com">Zappos.com</a> that have huge collections of products that users can browse through, and narrow down, to focus in on exactly the pair of shoes they are after. In this example facets allow you do to things like narrow the results returned from your initial keyword search to just shoes for men, which are brown, size 10.5, and on sale. You can can also see faceting in action any time you perform a search on our site. We'll use facets to allow users of the fish finder application to limit the results returned to just those of a specific species or genus. In doing so we'll also look at the options available for determining how facets should be displayed, whether or not we should show a facet that has zero documents in our result set, and how to combine multiple facets together into a single query using either AND or OR logic. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to use the Facet API module in conjunction with Search API in order to provide facets that your users can use to further narrow and refine their search results. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/project/facetapi">FacetAPI module</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/v5CVCDkJmLNRZ0FEDRb8aPsS1Dko9bGIiDTMdrJjy6g.jpg.jpg8532015-06-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/configure-stop-words-solr2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Configure Stop Words in SolrDepending on the data that is being searched, some shorter general words, like "a", "the", or "is" can adversely effect search result relevancy. Consider the word "the", which in a standard description of a fish in our database could easily appear hundreds of times or more. When a search is performed, part of the algorithm that calculates the relevancy of any document in the index is to count the number of times a word appears in the text being searched. The more often it appears, the more relevant the document. Words like "the" however often have little to no real bearing on a document's actual relevancy. These words should instead be excluded from the ranking algorithm. Stop words can also serve another purpose. You can filter out words that are so common in a particular set of data that the system can't handle them in a useful way. For example, consider the word "fish" in our dataset. It's probably very common. With only 500 fish being indexed it's not really going to make much difference, but what if we were indexing five million fish, and each one had the word "fish" in the description even just five times? That's 25 million occurrences of the word "fish". Eventually we might start to hit the upper limit of what Solr can handle. The word "fish" in this case is probably also not very useful in a search query. You're browsing a fish database. Are you really likely to search for the query fish and expect any meaningful results? Likely it would instead return every result. It would be like going to Drupal.org and searching for the word "drupal" and expecting to get something useful. Not going to happen. Solr has the ability to read in a list of stop words, or words that should be ignored during indexing, so that those words do not clutter your index and are removed from influencing result relevancy. In this tutorial we'll take a look at configuring stop words for Solr. First, we'll use the Solr web UI to see the most common terms in our index for the body field. Then, based on that list, and the list of common stop words provided by the Solr team, we'll configure our stopwords.txt file. Finally, we'll re-index all the content of our site so that it makes use of the new stop words configuration and re-examine the most common terms noting that our stop words no longer appear in the list. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to use the Solr web UI to get a list of the most common terms in your index, and know how to add terms to Solr's stopwords.txt file to prevent them from showing up in your index. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://xpo6.com/list-of-english-stop-words/">List of common stop words</a></li> <li><a href="https://docs.lucidworks.com/display/lweug/Synonyms+and+Stop+Words">Synonyms and Stopwords by Lucidworks</a></li> <li><a href="http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters#solr.StopFilterFactory">Solr Stop Filter Factory documentation</a></li> <li><a href="blog/201508/configure-search-api-solr-use-stopwords-when-indexing-content">Written tutorial based on this video</a> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/gkKdOBSDyHtZk0qO20iSyhth_yqt12p4Pskvyo8onOM.jpg.jpg7122015-06-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/configure-synonyms-solr2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Configure Synonyms in SolrSolr provides the option to configure synonyms for use during both indexing and querying of textual data. A synonym is a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same thing as another word or phrase in the same language. For example, shut is a synonym of close. Synonyms, if not accounted for, can cause a dilution of search result relevancy when searching for a keywords that have lots of variations in your index. Consider for example the words, "ipod", "i-pod", and "i pod". It's pretty easy to imagine a scenario in which the content of our site could contain all three variations of the word. When someone searches though they are likely just going to search for one, but expect results for all three. In order to not break those expectations we need to make sure we account for this scenario. Another example from the the Drupal world would be the terms "CMI" and "configuration management". Chances are if you search for one you would be happy to see results for the other. In this tutorial we'll look at using the synonyms.txt file that is part of our Solr configuration in order to account for synonyms in our data. Of course the exact words you use will depend on the content of your site, but we can at least cover how they work and how to configure them. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to configure Solr to be aware of synonyms in your data in order to improve the quality of your search results. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters#solr.SynonymFilterFactory">Solr Synonym Filter Factory documentation</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/GetuJjLSub7b151ATPwwS1OfNDXTSRFzivHb36iXaPg.jpg.jpg5792015-06-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/promote-results-keyword2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Promote Results by KeywordOne of the benefits of building our own search application is that we have ultimate control over the ranking of items. Combined with our superior knowledge of our own content we can use this to ensure that when someone searches for a specific keyword we bubble our best content for that term to the top of the list, regardless of whatever Solr might rank it based on its internal algorithms. This is commonly referred to as promoted, or sponsored, results; the artificial boosting of a particular document to the top of the result list for a specific query. A similar, but not exactly the same, example would be sponsored results on Google searches, where you can pay to have your page listed at the top of the results for a specific keyword or set of keywords. We are going to be doing all of this except for the part where we let people pay to promote results, though you could certainly build that part on your own if you need that. Solr uses a configuration file named elevate.xml, in conjunction with a processor, to elevate results at the time a query is performed. We can promote specific documents in our Solr index by figuring out the unique Solr ID for a document and then adding it to the elevate.xml file along with some information about a query, or queries, this document should be promoted for. In this tutorial we'll learn how to find a Solr document's unique ID, and then configure Solr to use an elevate.xml file that will promote the "How to Use the Fish Finder" page to the top of the results when someone searches for the term "fish". This configuration is all within the Solr application itself and doesn't really rely on Drupal in anyway. As such, the material in this tutorial should be applicable to your Solr search applications even if you're not building them with Drupal. By the end of this lesson you should be able to configure promoted documents in your own Solr-based search application. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/1105528#comment-5232078">Sample Solr Request Handler with Elevation</a></li> </ul>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Scg_an4AUcLhlMrwB-iyxapVIX6j6VLTlIrwdbD6zd0.jpg.jpg8562015-06-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/introduction-domain-access-drupal-7-series2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Introduction to Domain Access for Drupal 7 SeriesIn this introductory series you will learn how use the Domain Access project to let you manage multiple "sites" with different domain names from just one Drupal installation. Domain Access "multisite" works differently from the core multisite feature in that you truly only have one site to manage. There is just one code base and one database. Domain Access takes advantage of Drupal's node access system to give the illusion of multiple sites. In this series we start off by getting some context through several presentations that explain what Domain Access offers, and why you might use it, how DNS and Apache web servers work, and what you need to understand about the node access system. Once we dive into the hands-on work, you will configure Apache to work with multiple domain names, and get Domain Access installed on your site. Then you will configure a very basic Domain Access site, learning how to share and restrict content, change themes, and set up permissions for fine-grained access control. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/domain">Domain Access project</a> (drupal.org)http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/4YCamND02-3nr4SUHAUen_fXj-rKF6B1yOad_2Lv1jc.jpg.jpg2932015-04-29no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/domain-access-overview2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Domain Access OverviewThis series will implement the same example as the Multisite series did, but with Domain Access instead. You can see and compare the two methods. First, let's look at some other examples using Domain Access and see what we get when we download the package from Drupal.org. We'll also talk about the features provided, along with some things to be aware of and consider when choosing Domain Access. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/domain">Domain Access project</a> (drupal.org)http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/mKKr8-sWZyxDdLLEjxncnAhDHiLd7uMR2LWpczB7yP8.jpg.jpg5902015-04-29no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/drupal-node-access-system2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Drupal Node Access SystemDomain Access can do its magic because of the Drupal node access system. In this tutorial we'll walk through the basics of how this system works, highlighting the two main methods, and then explain why this may be important information for you. We won't be diving into the code side of things, but instead outline the basic concepts for anyone who needs to interact with this system. When using a module like Domain Access, you should be aware of the Drupal context in which you are working, even if you hopefully never have to dive into the details. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/270000">Controlling Access to Content Overview</a> (drupal.org handbook) <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21node%21node.module/group/node_access/7">Node access developer documentation</a> (api.drupal.org)http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/919b05Xz_G-qQ4dYnZSnOZSP9JbZ-NEmnAW7Ffi1HO4.jpg.jpg6562015-04-29no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/install-domain-access2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Install Domain AccessIn this tutorial we will get hands-on with Domain Access by getting the module installed. This is a more involved process than a regular module installation, but we just need to make sure we have a few things in place first. We're going to need to make sure we have our domains functioning correctly through Apache, and then add the Domain Access include file to our settings.php. With the configuration and module in place, we'll also verify that it is working properly and take a look at our domain list. After watching this tutorial you will be able to properly install the Domain Access module, with its additional steps, and then verify that the installation was correct. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/domain">Domain Access project</a> (drupal.org) <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/1096962">Domain Access Configuring settings.php</a> (drupal.org handbook) <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/1096956">Installing the Domain Access module (Drush instructions)</a> (drupal.org handbook)http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/5U0FGhSeoO1qGO4PVEbHckl_pK2fn1Fau8o0uGhB5-s.jpg.jpg6592015-05-06no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/configure-domain-access2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Configure Domain AccessWith the main Domain Access site installed, we now need to get our other domain names added to the site and working. In this tutorial we'll review the settings for domains, add the Alumni and News domain names, and then test that all three domains are working properly. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/1096974">Basic Domain Access module configuration</a> (drupal.org handbook)http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/u4JwsVm4kIc-UAxjbx98D6zcZI1pslR_eojEuQd_1KM.jpg.jpg5312015-05-06no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/domain-access-content2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Domain Access ContentOne of the biggest reasons to use Domain Access is to control the content for multiple domain names. In this tutorial we'll dive into content on our three sites. We'll start by sharing content across all the domains, and then create domain-specific content. To make managing the content across our domains easier, we'll then enable the included Domain Content module. This will provide us with some nice administrative tools to keep track of things. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/6LsPXGDCA6DQD1myKrM1B-y06-I5XkPSVEnecbcAFak.jpg.jpg6482015-05-06no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/domain-settings-and-themes2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Domain Settings and ThemesIn addition to different content, you may also want to differentiate your domains in how they look and change some of the basic site settings to make them appear more as separate sites. In this tutorial we'll use the Domain Config and Domain Theme modules (included in the Domain Access package) to let us do just this. We'll change our settings on one of the sites to set the homepage node to the About page we created earlier. Then we'll make the Alumni site look quite different by giving it a new theme. Through this process you will understand things you need to watch out for when configuring Domain Access sites, and how to be appropriately cautious with your settings. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/X_5cNhMuI8TVRYJqcSBSskpSPE_yk6D25eb-i1c7pM0.jpg.jpg7062015-05-13no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/domain-access-permissions2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Domain Access PermissionsTo really make Domain Access work the way you need it, you need to make sure you set up your roles, users, and permissions correctly. We've been setting things up on our site as the administrator, but so far our site is not configured for other people to be involved. In this tutorial we're going to configure the permissions so that we have authenticated users who can create and edit content on particular domains. We'll also have several editors. Two of the editors can only manage content on their particular domains, while one editor will have access to all content across all three domains. In the process of setting this up we'll review the Domain Access permissions documentation, then dive into configuring them. We will also look at how we can set a default domain for a role, even though we won't need that for this use case. To test things out, we'll create some content as different users and see how the editors can or can not interact with that content. To get things moving in this lesson, we are starting off having already created a number of users, and adding an editor role to the site. We don't walk through this process in the lesson, so if you need a refresher for creating roles and users, you can watch <a href="https://drupalize.me/videos/hands-creating-roles-and-users">Hands-On: Creating Roles and Users</a> from the Using Drupal series. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/1096972">Domain Access Permissions</a> (drupal.org handbook)http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/nD2KoogVVOUvGCUhIni1gYX-TosLeEqb-je9lapTU1Y.jpg.jpg12132015-05-13no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/extending-domain-access2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Extending Domain AccessWith the basics of our three domains set up, you're ready to build out your sites. We've covered the main steps to get you started, but you'll find that there are a lot more options available to you as you build. Which additional modules you use will depend heavily on your particular needs. In this tutorial we'll talk about the other modules that are included in the Domain Access package, which we haven't used in this series. We'll also look at a list of other contributed modules that work with Domain Access to extend its feature set even further. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/1096964">Domain Access modules</a> (drupal.org handbook) <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/1068570">Domain Access related contributed modules</a> (drupal.org handbook)http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/S_iT4Cug0hxpOUmYYxJgPP_Fs6rYt6VzFxTzEPIB1AQ.jpg.jpg4722015-05-13no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/tail-command-line-debug2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Tail: Command Line DebugThis is an introduction to the Tail command, available on Unix/Linux systems.

We'll take a look at what is commonly provided by a base theme, including discussing what a "starter kit" is and how it is intended to be used. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/980434">Using Base Themes — Drupal.org</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/KDIbCT5YLbjt_WmCVa5qg54M5PKMMMv9REbRiyWnqvk.jpg.jpg1892015-11-18no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/zen-introduction-and-installation2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Zen: Introduction and InstallationZen is a base, or parent, theme for Drupal that features lean, semantic HTML5 markup and a starter kit for custom theme development. In this tutorial, we will install Zen and create a subtheme for custom theme development using Drush. I use the Drush command provided by Zen because of all of the tedious renaming required when cloning the "STARTERKIT" into a subtheme. The Drush command provided by Zen automates this and makes it a relatively painless process. If you need to install Drush, see our related video tutorial, <a href="https://drupalize.me/videos/installing-drush-composer?p=1156">Installing Drush with Composer</a>, or read the instructions for installation on the <a href="https://github.com/drush-ops/drush">Drush web site</a>. In the next tutorial, I'll briefly explain why you might want to use a base theme and when it makes the most sense to do so. After that, I will walk through and highlight some of the HTML5 semantic markup in Zen's template files, contrasting the markup with the corresponding template files in the core Drupal 7 theme, Bartik. Other tutorials in the Markup in Drupal series also use a subtheme of Zen, called zendemo, as a theme for the demo site. This was done to demonstrate how markup is first and foremost affected by the theme. It was also done to show how using a base theme that uses semantic HTML5 markup can be advantageous if you want to use HTML5 elements in the built-out components and pages of your Drupal site. To follow along, <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal">download the latest version of Drupal 7</a>, and follow the instructions in the video for installing Zen and a creating a subtheme. In the downloads section below you'll find a database and files downloads, which is the state of the site after this tutorial, with Zen and the subtheme "zendemo" installed. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/zen">Zen theme — Drupal.org</a> <a href="http://drupal.org/documentation/theme/zen">Zen documentation — Drupal.org</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/_gqR3I3mvHBBF1e2_9DBBizyvli1yBKIr0EnePB2R_U.jpg.jpg4092015-11-18no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/zen-identify-html5-markup-templates2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Zen: Identify HTML5 Markup in TemplatesIn this tutorial, I will take you on a tour of some of the template files included with Zen and highlight how HTML5 semantic markup was incorporated into the markup of several different template files. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/zen">Zen — Drupal.org</a> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/documentation/theme/zen">Zen documentation — Drupal.org</a> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/HTML5">HTML5 Developer Guide — MDN</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/4MDUPzjpnJZ29NprtaKV3WjFPbOFWZMIh6CnjJ5zN9g.jpg.jpg2592015-11-18no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/recap-markup-zen2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Recap: Markup in ZenThis is a review what I covered in the previous tutorials in this series about Zen, including how to use Zen as a base or parent theme, why you might use a base theme in theme development, how HTML5 markup is included in Zen's template files, and how to install Zen and create a subtheme for your own custom development. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/documentation/theme/zen">Zen documentation — Drupal.org</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/hgzCRLcT83xXlG1HqkUntV1vGvSPpQkhdJp9MHJHLzc.jpg.jpg362015-11-18no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/fences-semantic-markup-fields2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Fences: Semantic Markup for FieldsNow let’s take a look at how we can configure fields to use semantic markup using the Fences module. In this tutorial, we’ll install and enable Fences module using Drush. Then we’ll take a look at the configuration settings for the module. Next we’ll hop into the field settings form for the body field and select an HTML5 tag as a new markup wrapper.

In this tutorial, I will introduce to you a prototype of recent posts that was built using Pattern Lab. We’ll inspect the wrapper markup of two template files that compose this media list. After getting familiar with the prototype markup, we’ll apply that markup, step-by-step, to the fields in our view of recent posts. In doing so, we will use the custom field markup settings for each field and utilize rewrite results and replacement tokens to customize our markup output even further. <h3>Additional resources</h3> <a href="http://patternlab.io/">Pattern Lab</a> <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/views">Views — Drupal.org</a>http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/-ghJ2WQJ7P7WT9FAMQbs70Ske7_ZEVYK1m-lvPgHLpw.jpg.jpg6952015-11-18no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/views-theme-information2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Views Theme InformationIn the next few tutorials, we'll pull back the veil of Views theming a bit and introduce some tools to help you wrangle Views' template files.

: <ul> <li>What affects markup in Views</li> <li>How to use the Views UI to change markup</li> <li>How formats affect markup output</li> <li>How to customize row and field wrapper markup</li> <li>How to rewrite output with replacement tokens</li> <li>How to override Views template files</li> <li>How to add a CSS class to your View</li> </ul> As you learned, there are a number of ways to affect markup in Views ranging from utilizing the UI to editing a template file in code. <h3>Ready for a challenge?</h3> Now that you’ve learned all about markup in Views, can you apply what you’ve learned? Use your knowledge of customizing markup using the Views UI and your knowledge of overriding Views template files to apply the HTML markup in the pattern lab prototype to a view of recent posts. Download the demo files and database containing the view of recent posts in the additional resources section below. Contained in the top-level of the files download is a directory called "misc." Inside "misc" you'll find the demo-pattern-lab files: <ul> <li>The latest posts file is located in <code>misc/demo-pattern-lab/source/_patterns/02-organisms/03-sections/00-latest-posts.mustache</code></li> <li>The media block file is located in <code>misc/demo-prototype/source/_patterns/01-molecules/02-blocks/00-media-block.mustache</code></li> </ul> Use your knowledge of inspecting views template files to locate the read more link markup in order to customize the markup and placement of the read more link, to match the prototype markup. You can find the setting to turn on the more link in the Views UI under the pager section in the middle column. Here’s another hint: you’ll want to update the field settings for the body field to display a trimmed or summary display instead of the full body value. Finally, For a bonus challenge, create an image style that matches the prototype image dimensions, and apply it to the image field in your view. To learn more about image styles in views, check out the video <a href="https://drupalize.me/videos/using-image-styles-views?p=1150">Using Image Styles with Views</a> in the Drupalize.Me library.

So before configuration management can be useful, we must have another instance—or clone—of our Drupal site. In this lesson, you will learn: - Why cloning a Drupal site is necessary in order to manage configuration - How to clone a Drupal site using web-based tools If you prefer using web-based or GUI tools [rather than command line tools such as Drush and Git](/tutorial/clone-your-drupal-site-drush-and-git), then this lesson is for you.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/gHvrKHm9vRXkZOLP78YT_ASsXfpk0yNZedMThIRRDIs.jpg.jpg1932015-12-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/how-override-configuration2025-11-22T01:46Zyearly0.9How to Override ConfigurationNot every environment or copy of a site you may be working on will be created equally. You may want to enable logging on a development site or need to use different API keys depending on the environment. But you also need to make sure that your instance-specific configuration overrides don't make it into the database, mistakenly get exported, or compromise security. In this tutorial, you will learn how to: - Override the global `$config` array in _settings.php_ (or _settings.local.php_) - Retrieve overridden (immutable) configuration (read-only mode) - Retrieve original (mutable) configuration for updating (read/write mode) - Set dynamic values for configuration instead of overriding valueshttp://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/oN8hDmPHmlsNFSMeOeYwF0AlGfIjel14PwsGr6xiqRQ.jpg.jpg5132015-12-17no https://drupalize.me/blog/release-day-keeping-git-clean-and-working-remote-repos2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/default-configuration-module2025-11-22T01:46Zyearly0.9Default Configuration in a ModuleWhen you create a module for Drupal, it can be useful to provide default configuration. This can be settings for a form, the placement of a block, or something more complex like the default image styles provided by the Image module in core. A module can provide default configuration for simple configuration or configuration entities. In this tutorial, we will cover: - Possible locations for default configuration - What happens with configuration when a module is installed or uninstalled - Managing dependencies in configuration - Where to find examples of default configurationhttp://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/5bZVNoqb_KuA6KVj470GQDLwwhEmXB6MSLVOKismP-k.jpg.jpg3582015-12-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-configuration-management-drupal2025-11-22T02:52Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/live-vs-local-configuration-management2025-11-22T01:46Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/inspect-configuration-drush2023-07-27T21:06Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/reimport-default-configuration-during-development2025-11-22T01:46Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-simple-configuration-form2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9Use Simple Configuration in a FormNow that we have some default simple configuration stored in a settings YAML file, let's utilize it in a form that our site administrators can use to update those values. We'll make use of some services and methods in Drupal's Configuration API in order to retrieve, update, and save simple configuration values with a form.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/xStoarsk5CuFVmIFZ7-CFECKYBWRC1uazO2OxWKXquw.jpg.jpg3132016-11-28no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/synchronize-configuration-ui2025-11-22T01:46Zyearly0.9Synchronize Configuration with the UIThe Configuration Manager module gives you as an administrator the ability to import and export configuration items on different instances of a Drupal site using a graphical user interface. In this tutorial, we'll take a tour of the Configuration Manager and the administrative interface it provides. By the end of this lesson you will be able to: - Access administrative pages for Import, Export, and Synchronize - Find and configure permissions for Configuration Manager - Identify the 3 primary actions of configuration management and how to perform them using the UIhttp://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/BU9kRgIFpd8LCAAgQHjoTTUG-CKqtaIQijA9PM6Bqqo.jpg.jpg2352016-11-28no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/synchronize-configuration-drush2025-11-22T01:46Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-configuration-entities-modules-settings-form2025-12-11T17:10Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/course/content-moderation-and-workflows-drupal2024-11-08T19:36Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-custom-workflow2023-07-28T19:24Znever0.9Create a Custom WorkflowThe real power of the Workflows module is the fact that you can define your own custom workflows. Creating a new custom workflow requires adding a new workflow, and configuring the states and transitions that workflow will use. In this tutorial we'll: - Create and configure a new workflow - Define and configure a set of states and transitions for the workflow - Understand some best practices to keep in mind when defining workflows By the end of this tutorial you'll be able to define your own custom workflows for any use-case.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/O9FHsqLzDZFK64hwcHrfDlUgzmlfa-Lv3HSTl8kIsV0.jpg.jpg3902019-11-06no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-view-moderated-content2023-07-28T19:24Znever0.9Create a View of Moderated ContentThe Content Moderation module exposes data about a content item's moderation state to Views. That allows us to use that information when building custom views. The data includes a moderation state field, filter, and a relationship to the moderation state entity. In this tutorial we'll: - Build a new view that uses the moderation state field and lists all revisions for a content item - Display that view as a block which can be shown on any content page By the end of this tutorial you'll know how to use the moderation state field in a view.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Ckb-V5XYu1P9JINPnEXRc9Cyx7OIqTbQzoSDzduTO_I.jpg.jpg4642019-11-06no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/manage-moderated-content2023-07-28T19:24Znever0.9Manage Moderated ContentThe Content Moderation module allows you to apply an editorial workflow to your content. Doing so changes some of the ways that content managers will mark an item as published, archive an item, or create new revisions. In this tutorial we'll: - Look at the changes to the content editing form that happen when you apply an editorial workflow - Learn how to edit a piece of content to change its state, and transition it through the editorial workflow By the end of this tutorial you'll know how to create, and manage, content in an editorial workflow.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/qvejycYhaBt8TKXFfJ_gn5fc87uSjQsI2v5QSTkfzFU.jpg.jpg3982019-11-06no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/plan-editorial-workflow2023-07-28T19:24Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/apply-editorial-workflow-content-type2023-07-28T19:24Znever0.9Apply an Editorial Workflow to a Content TypeIn order to enforce that an editorial workflow is applied to a specific content type you need to update the workflow's configuration. Then, depending on your needs, you may also need to configure new user roles, giving them permission to transition a content item from one state to another. This process works for any Content Moderation type workflow -- including the _Editorial_ workflow that Drupal provides and any [custom workflows](/tutorial/create-custom-workflow) you've created. In this tutorial we'll: - Update a workflow so that its rules are applied to a content type - Review the list of permissions provided by a workflow and see how we can set things up to restrict certain users to only perform specific transitions By the end of this tutorial you will be able to configure a workflow so that it applies to one or more content types, and configure permissions so only users in a specific role can transition content items from one state to another.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/p_9DWf_GPhdWCIBZI1XsDBKjcW_hKBFvjiuMS6eHITQ.jpg.jpg2272019-11-06no

https://drupalize.me/tutorial/exercise-add-asset-library2024-07-18T17:23Zyearly0.9Exercise: Add an Asset LibraryTo add CSS or JavaScript files or libraries to your site, you can attach them as asset libraries in your theme. In this exercise, you'll create 2 asset libraries and attach them globally via your theme's info file. In this tutorial, we'll pull in the CSS and JavaScript from the popular Bootstrap framework so that we can make use of its layout utility classes later on. We'll also add a custom CSS file that contains global styles for our site, like setting the page background color. If you want to try and complete this on your own first you'll need to: - Add the [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com) CSS and JavaScript files to your theme. - Define an asset library using a _THEMENAME.libraries.yml_ file in your theme. - Tell Drupal to attach your asset library so that the CSS and JavaScript files it represents are included in the page. Once that's done your site won't look all that different. But if you view the page source, or look closely, you should see that the Bootstrap files are included along with any CSS rules you placed into your custom style sheet. **Note:** Since this course is focused on teaching the Drupal aspects of theme development, and not on writing CSS, we're using the Bootstrap CSS. Feel free to use the framework or library of your choice if you don't want to use Bootstrap. You should try to complete the exercise steps on your own and use the video to help guide you if you get stuck. At the end of this exercise, you'll find a video walk-through of the solution.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/TEcX-dQZQbU1-7bfKMaZutL_Z9wz0RkttyEyeaxJXHs.jpg.jpg3902019-03-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/exercise-configure-your-environment-theme-development2024-07-17T22:39Zyearly0.9Exercise: Configure Your Environment for Theme DevelopmentDrupal has a few handy settings you can tweak to make developing themes a little more intuitive and a lot more awesome. In this tutorial, we'll practice manually setting up our environment for theme development by: - Disabling some caches - Turning off CSS and JS aggregation - Turning on the Twig debug service By the end of this tutorial, you'll have practiced setting up your environment for theme development.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Gtmz8p7_wKApPzwajpFFHHTFvhvJcoSJX8AEggEoAvE.jpg.jpg5442019-03-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/exercise-override-main-page-template2024-07-18T17:23Zyearly0.9Exercise: Override the Main Page TemplateIn order to change Drupal's default markup you need to override template files. The _page template_ controls the overall layout of your theme, including the placement of regions. You should practice the exercise following the written instructions below. Use the video walk-through to help if you get stuck. In this exercise, we'll: - Override the currently used _page.html.twig_ template file. - Modify the content of the file to include the regions defined in the theme's _.info.yml_ file. - Wrap the regions in the page template file with HTML markup using CSS classes from Bootstrap to achieve the example layout. By the end of this tutorial, you'll gain practice creating a custom layout in a page template file.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/zoIxQWIE0L7JCg2mWsVy8cuGMHtAJEh02ANo0Q4Qnhw.jpg.jpg5782019-03-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/exercise-override-node-template2024-07-18T17:23Zyearly0.9Exercise: Override the Node TemplateThe available dynamic tokens or _variables_ vary from template to template. Each page is built from a set of templates. In this exercise, we'll: - Override and name the _node template_ file so that it will only affect _Article_ nodes on our Drupal site. - Inspect the available variables. - Customize the markup. - Use the Twig filter `without`. We recommend that you try to work through the exercise yourself, and refer to the video if you need help.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/VpG6oyCeXiKeXaD5AJ3wjZTrjglmqjqIKyBp-YPdg3M.jpg.jpg3272019-03-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/exercise-override-main-menu-template2024-07-17T22:39Zyearly0.9Exercise: Override the Main Menu TemplateIn this exercise, we'll practice theming by overriding the _main menu template_. We'll: - Override and rename the main menu template so that it will only affect the main menu component of our Drupal site. - Add Bootstrap classes from the _base nav_ component into our overridden main menu template file. - Add CSS classes to HTML selectors using `attributes.addClass()` and `set` methods. We recommend that you work on the exercise steps below first. You can refer to the video if you need some help.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/-tJB-hNyq1477WCt1dG3k3XNkIfaE3Uyipt7UDmPVt0.jpg.jpg3642019-03-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/exercise-override-image-field-template2024-07-17T22:39Zyearly0.9Exercise: Override the Image Field TemplateIn this exercise, we'll continue our template overriding practice by overriding the _image field template_. We'll consult the Bootstrap documentation and add a responsive image class that will apply to any images uploaded by a user to the `field_image` field. Once again, we'll add this class to the `classes` array in the `set` Twig tag. You should work on the exercise steps below first, and you can refer to the video if you need some help.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/GV-p82x4_SRXWUqTqOiNRQrjwiF8G29Lf-YBO-hN6rc.jpg.jpg2182019-03-27no https://drupalize.me/blog/podcast-episode-19-building-lullabotcom2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/exercise-use-t-filter-template2024-07-17T22:39Zyearly0.9Exercise: Use the t Filter in a TemplateIn this exercise, we'll practice using the `t` filter in a Twig template. As a best practice, all hard-coded text in a template should be translatable. Simple text (containing no dynamic tokens) can be passed through the `t` filter to achieve this objective. Along the way, we'll also use a basic conditional `if` statement with Twig. We recommend that you try following the exercise's steps first, and refer to the video if you need help.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/LrWhlnhzt0c-4OqQvgS49xk4uJ2UG4DWIO33PO4-77Q.jpg.jpg1432019-03-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/exercise-preprocess-functions2024-07-18T17:23Zyearly0.9Exercise: Preprocess FunctionsPreprocess functions allow you to change existing variables, or add new variables, for a template file using PHP code.

All nodes of the associated content type will display their content using the defined layout. This allows site builders to display a page's content in two columns, or three, or two columns with a full-width banner image, etc. Then you can place the content type's fields and Drupal blocks into the sections of the defined layout, all via the Drupal UI. In this tutorial we'll: - Enable the Drupal _Layout Builder_ and _Layout Discover_ modules - Create a new two-column _flexible_ layout via the user interface - Update the Basic page content type so that all nodes use the new two-column layout By the end of this tutorial you should know how to create a new _flexible_ layout, and apply it to one or more content types.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/XEbPNKIw0N1cEcriY6PrMXGt8tJUTVMkgbsWoh2pUKs.jpg.jpg3612020-06-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/limit-blocks-available-layout-builder-block-list-override2022-03-16T16:41Znever0.9Limit Blocks Available in Layout Builder with Block List OverrideWhen building with Layout Builder, the list of blocks available for a site administrator to place in a layout can grow and become overwhelming to navigate. This is especially true when you've got a lot of different modules enabled, as each can add new blocks. As well, complex configurations may require site admins to create more and more custom blocks. Some blocks, like certain Views, or default core blocks like "Who's online", are not meant to be used within the Layout Builder. These blocks can clutter the UI and also impact the performance of Layout Builder UI. The contributed module [Block List Override](https://www.drupal.org/project/block_list_override) is designed to help solve this problem. In this tutorial we'll: - Learn what the Block List Override module does - Install and configure the module to improve the user experience when creating layouts By the end of this tutorial you should know how to use the Block List Override module to improve the UX of the Layout Builder interface.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/hwzrVhd13tCKASmc1rWfScNlDK1eA9XHhxhN6Z08pwI.jpg.jpg2382020-07-07no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/define-custom-layouts-module-or-theme2022-03-11T00:27Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/build-dynamic-custom-layouts-derivatives2025-11-22T02:52Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/adding-asset-libraries-custom-layouts2022-03-16T00:26Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-layout-builder-modal-when-creating-custom-blocks2021-02-17T20:57Znever0.9Use Layout Builder Modal When Creating Custom BlocksOne of the biggest UX problems with the current Layout Builder UI in core is that the control panel is often too narrow. This is especially noticeable when creating inline blocks, and working with WYSIWYG fields. The contributed [Layout Builder Modal module](https://www.drupal.org/project/layout_builder_modal) is one solution to address this problem. It moves the UI for creating, and editing, custom blocks in a Layout into a wider modal window. In this tutorial we'll: - Install the Layout Builder Modal module - Demonstrate how it can be used to improve the UX of managing custom blocks in Layout Builder By the end of this tutorial you should know what the Layout Builder Modal module does, and determine if it's useful for your project.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/-C2gEvBbzq6-1tVgRj1dCeBh3YKCPcOgFLJk-mUTniA.jpg.jpg1952020-06-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/introduction-layout-builder2022-03-11T00:27Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-layout-builder-restrictions-configure-available-layouts-and-blocks2021-02-17T20:57Znever0.9Use Layout Builder Restrictions to Configure Available Layouts and BlocksThe [Layout Builder Restrictions](https://www.drupal.org/project/layout_builder_restrictions) module allows you to configure which layouts, and which blocks, should be available in the Layout Builder UI. This helps improve the user experience by removing blocks that you don't want someone to place into a layout. It also restricts which layouts are available for a content type. For example, you may allow an editor to change the layout for a blog page but restrict them to choosing between 1- or 2-column layouts. Yet, you can still provide a 3-column layout option for use in other scenarios. In this tutorial we'll: - Install the Layout Builder Restrictions module - Learn how to curate the list of layouts for use on a per-content type basis - Restrict the list of blocks available for placement via Layout Builder's UI By the end of this tutorial you'll know how to use the Layout Builder Restrictions module to curate the list of layout and block options available to editors in the Layout Builder UI.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Yca5u6DN43HXy5nquKGqU2QNZYj6j-vng40-7DefaZY.jpg.jpg3162020-06-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/how-create-layout-configurable-settings-drupals-layout-builder2024-10-18T21:48Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/change-layout-page-basis2022-03-16T00:26Znever0.9Change the Layout on a Per-Page BasisThe Layout Builder module allows editors to create flexible layouts per content type, and per node. When configured to allow per-node layout customization, each node inherits the base layout for the content type. But editors can choose to further customize the layout on a node by node basis. This allows them to tailor the layout to better suit the specific node, and to have presentation flexibility that can be managed through Drupal's UI instead of in code. This also makes it harder to enforce design consistency, and future updates to the content type specific layout won't be applied to pages using a node specific layout. In this tutorial we'll: - Learn how to enable node-specific layouts - Create a custom layout that is used on only one page By the end of this tutorial you'll understand how to configure per-node-specific layouts.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/tbx9lGpn8KkWbvDApZ7XOVw4blc_-aYo3rDsjgYk8ns.jpg.jpg2552020-06-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/how-add-custom-styles-drupals-layout-builder2024-08-13T17:54Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/layout-builder-design-patterns2022-07-11T16:14Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/tips-theming-layout-builder2022-03-11T00:27Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/implement-layout-builder-view-modes-pattern2022-03-16T00:26Znever0.9Implement the Layout Builder View Modes PatternWe recommend planning ahead when using Layout Builder, documenting how you intend to use Layout Builder for your specific use-case, and then doing your best to stick to it. One approach that we've found works well for sites that need a maximum amount of flexibility (and have the resources to do the upfront planning and theming required) is using entity view modes. This approach is similar in concept to component based design systems, where you do the initial work of creating a set of components that all work well together up-front, and then allow them to be mixed and matched in whatever way is necessary. In this tutorial we'll: - Create new view modes for the _Basic Page_ content type representing the different components. - Use the _ctools blocks_ module to allow displaying an entity as a block and choosing which view mode to use when rendering the entity. - Provide custom HTML and CSS styling for the new components. By the end of this tutorial you'll know how to use Layout Builder in combination with entity view modes.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/6Rab26GIZGGVXROyycWUd5aqjiKDDeP2D0nVwXWXVnE.jpg.jpg5652020-06-24no https://drupalize.me/blog/wed-sponsor-your-user-group2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/course/views-create-lists-drupal2024-10-04T18:04Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-views-layout2024-08-13T17:56Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/course/managing-media-drupal2024-11-08T19:04Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-access-control-media-entities-drupal2025-12-11T16:21Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/how-add-fields-media-type-drupal2021-05-05T21:27Znever0.9How to Add Fields to a Media Type in DrupalDrupal media entities are fieldable entities, which means that you can add any custom fields you want to your Media types. These fields can be used for collecting additional metadata about a resource, categorizing and organizing resources so they're easier to find in a large media library, or for displaying information like a photo credit or transcript for a video. The possibilities are endless once you know how to add, and optionally display, fields in Drupal. Some example use cases for adding fields to Media types: - Collect, and display, a credit to go along with a photo. This could also be a date, a location, or any other metadata. - Store resource width and height dimensions as custom fields so they can be referenced by display logic in the theme layer. - Use Taxonomy reference fields to add tags or categories to help keep a large library organized. In this tutorial we'll: - Learn how to add fields to a Media type - Verify our new custom field is working By the end of this tutorial you'll know how to add custom fields to any Media type.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/3jZr0K1HSQkxTqtrqbCghV7wUyHcgL62SoH_A5cmfRA.jpg.jpg2782020-09-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-media-field-content-type-drupal2022-03-31T16:11Znever0.9Add a Media Field to a Content Type in DrupalThe most common way to use Drupal's Media items is to add fields to content types, allowing the Media entities to be associated with one or more pieces of content. For example, adding a cover image to an article, or embedding a set of YouTube videos into a tutorial. This is accomplished by adding a Media field to the content type in question. In this tutorial we'll: - Explain what the different Media field-specific configuration options do - Add a Media field to the existing _Article_ content type - Explain what the different field-specific configuration options do - Confirm that it worked by verifying that the form for adding an article has the new field By the end of this tutorial you'll know how to add a Media field to any content type, or any other fieldable entity, in order to allow Media items to be associated with the content.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/bT5q7TFbsEwff2ArFp80Gs3z5UAjyLLH6TC0OhYtTkk.jpg.jpg3332020-09-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/find-add-edit-and-delete-media-entities-drupal2022-03-31T16:11Znever0.9Find, Add, Edit, and Delete Media Entities in DrupalMedia entities in Drupal are content entities, and can be administered like most other Drupal content entities. In most cases you'll likely add new Media entities via the Media Library widget when creating a new content entity like an Article. However, it's possible to add them to the library without having to attach them to a piece of content. You may also want to update an existing Media entity, or just search the library to see whether something already exists. In this tutorial we'll: - Learn what a Media entity is in Drupal - Get an overview of the main Media management page - Learn how to add, edit, and delete, Media entities - Learn how to bulk edit Media entities in Drupal By the end of this tutorial you'll know how to perform basic find, add, edit, and delete operations to manage the Media entities in your library.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/5fg0be5u02e6mWYTNs8467kMIad05XHkt8oNE5py6CY.jpg.jpg3352020-09-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-new-media-type-drupal2022-03-31T16:11Znever0.9Create a New Media Type in DrupalDrupal site administrators can create new _media entity types_, with their own unique configurations and sets of associated fields. Different media types can be configured with different field names, permissions, moderation workflows, and display settings, making it possible to create truly custom content administration experiences. The process is similar to creating a node content type like _articles_ or _events_ with one major distinction: every media type inherits from a **specific media source plugin**. The source plugin provides domain-specific knowledge about the kind of resource being represented. For example, the _Remote video_ source plugin used with the default _Remote video_ media type knows how to consume and display videos from YouTube and Vimeo given only their URL. Drupal core comes with a couple of common media source plugins, and contributed modules and custom code can add to this list, increasing the different media providers with which Drupal can integrate. In this tutorial we'll learn how to: - Install a contributed module that provides a new media source plugin. - Create a new media type. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to explain how source plugins relate to media types, and create a new media type.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/fdhwDIBOtevALPxVNK9lmW9KbTpoZ4YdnfmMoekKU28.jpg.jpg4752021-07-13no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-custom-media-source-plugin2024-10-18T21:59Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-any-oembed-provider-media-source2024-10-25T16:55Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/blog/see-you-drupalcamp-austin2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/customize-drupal-media-library-browser-widget2022-03-31T16:11Znever0.9Customize the Drupal Media Library Browser WidgetWhen using the Drupal Media Library to browse for available Media entities to attach to your content, the interface that you see inside the modal window is created using Views. This means you can change it for your specific use-case. This is most useful when you want to expose filters for custom fields to allow users to more easily locate content in your library. As your library of media grows, you can create powerful application-specific ways for content authors to segment the list and find their assets. In this tutorial we'll: - Learn how to edit the Views used by the Drupal Media Library browser - Add a new exposed filter for the custom tags field on some media entities - Demonstrate how this change affects the user interface for locating and selecting media By the end of this tutorial you should be able to customize the View used by the Media Library to add new filters and make other use-case specific changes.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/JPyrNaKiipsk-cTdJUMzmS-5SSm5GyngM-6E6fWzlEY.jpg.jpg2892020-10-20no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/map-media-source-data-custom-fields2022-03-31T16:11Znever0.9Map Media Source Data to Custom FieldsMedia Source plugins in Drupal have a powerful feature, called _field mapping_, that allows an administrator to configure a Media entity type to automatically populate the value of custom fields based on metadata retrieved from the source content. For example, you can add a creator field to the Remote Video Media type, which can use YouTube as a source. When a content author adds a new Remote Video entity they can provide a URL for the YouTube video. Then the source plugin can extract the creator's name from the YouTube API and use that data to populate a custom field. This saves the content author from having to do that work themselves. In this tutorial we'll learn: - How to discover what source metadata is available - How to configure a Drupal Media type to automatically populate custom fields By the end of this tutorial you should be able to add a custom field to a Media type on your Drupal site and automatically populate it with data retrieved from the source content.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/nrk1ruv1tFwZrK__sUg5E5jHqnhAPATAqDXDXEcGQBU.jpg.jpg3082021-02-09no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/track-media-entity-usage-drupal2022-03-31T16:11Znever0.9Track Media Entity Usage in DrupalOne of the most powerful features of Drupal's Media Library is that it enables content authors to re-use media entities. Have a favorite image that you like to use with all blog posts about a specific topic? Or a default icon you want to use for a tutorial unless an alternative is provided? The Media Library can accommodate this without requiring you to keep a copy of the image locally and then attach it to every node where it's needed. This can lead to a potential issue when an editor deletes an image, thinking they've also deleted all the content that used it. If they missed a post referencing the now deleted image, what happens when there is no image to show? The contributed [Entity Usage module](https://www.drupal.org/project/entity_usage) provides a mechanism for tracking relationships between entities. This is essential functionality when working with a library of reusable media entities because it helps ensure that media entities attached to content are not deleted. In this tutorial we'll: - Discuss the use case for the Entity Usage module - Learn how to configure Entity Usage to keep track of relationships between media entities and nodes that reference them - Prevent media items from being deleted if they are in use somewhere on the site By the end of this tutorial you should be able to explain what the Entity Usage module does, and how to use it to solve common problems related to deleting items from a large Media library.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/JX99-7DqQoM7chEQfoy1uVBuYuvOLhVy-9h6ZF2TwmE.jpg.jpg5422020-10-28no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/how-add-media-button-wysiwyg-editor-drupal2022-03-31T16:11Znever0.9How to Add a Media Button to a WYSIWYG Editor in DrupalA commonly asked question is, "How do you add images to the body of a content item in Drupal?" You can allow users to embed images, videos, or any other media into a field configured with a WYSIWYG editor, such as CKEditor. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to enable Drupal’s _Insert Media_ button for CKEditor, and configure the corresponding text format so that it can render embedded Media entities. Content authors can then use the Media Library to select images (or other media) to embed into the page. In this tutorial we'll: - Learn how to enable the _Insert Media_ button for CKEditor - Demonstrate how to insert media into the body of a content item (or any other field configured to use CKEditor) By the end of this tutorial you should know how to configure Drupal to allow content authors to embed images in content items.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/n-3WsqroTAGa8hM33lkzDo0XSmruCr7W1ghsNWGHdxE.jpg.jpg3312020-09-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-media-management-drupal2022-03-11T00:27Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-media-types-media-entities-and-media-fields-drupal2025-05-14T23:28Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-are-media-sources-drupal2024-10-18T22:03Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-drupal-media-library-browse-media-entities2022-03-31T16:11Znever0.9Use Drupal Media Library to Browse Media EntitiesThe Drupal core Media Library module provides an enhanced user interface for locating Media entities and attaching them to an article. It's a drop-in replacement for the default entity reference widget which uses a not very intuitive autocomplete field. Using the Drupal core Media Library module requires minimal configuration. If you want to provide content creators with a gallery-like library of Media entities that they can browse through in order to find the ones they want to add to their content, the Media Library is the easiest way to do it. It can be configured to work with both Media fields and the CKEditor powered WYSIWYG editor commonly used for editing the body field of Drupal nodes. There's really no reason not to use it. In addition to providing a better UI for locating existing Media entities, the Media Library provides a way to create new Media entities right from the content creation form. This prevents an otherwise confusing requirement where Media entities need to be created, via a different set of forms, before they can be used. In this tutorial we'll: - Install and configure the Media Library module to work with Media fields - Use the user interface provided by the Media Library to improve the experience of finding and selecting Media entities to associate with a piece of content By the end of this tutorial you'll know how to replace the default entity reference widget used for selecting Media entities with the much improved Media Library UI.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/htV-bim10-sLG4S9_Fdh8PfxTTXXyaXntVvS6eWSqRk.jpg.jpg3632020-09-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-view-modes-media-entities-drupal2022-03-31T16:11Znever0.9Use View Modes with Media Entities in DrupalMedia entities, like any content entity, work great with all the different features Drupal provides for changing the way things are displayed: view modes, Layout Builder, theme templates, and more. We're big fans of using view modes to create a component-like design system where entity types have view modes representing the different context in which they're displayed. Then we theme the view modes. This works great for displaying Media entities associated with a page and for changing the way that Media assets are displayed within the Media Library browser. In this tutorial we'll: - Create Hero and Sidebar view modes for Media entities - Configure the Image Media type to use the new view modes and style each one differently - Use the new view modes to render Image Media assets within a Layout - Update the _Media library_ view mode that's used by the Media Library browser to display additional information alongside the thumbnails used when selecting Media to attach to a page By the end of this tutorial you should be able to change the way that Media assets are displayed by using view modes and display formatters in a Drupal site.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/tZu9PivFuTn-JsuQjDGzHfMKdkbIMRPTuEk1ixE2phY.jpg.jpg5412021-03-18no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/check-alterations-hacked2023-08-03T19:32Znever0.9Check for Alterations with HackedIt's not uncommon to patch, or customize, contributed modules during the lifetime of a site. It's important to know if you've done so when planning for a migration since you'll want to be sure that you don't lose any customizations when you start using an updated version of a module. In this tutorial we will walk through using the [Hacked! module](https://www.drupal.org/project/hacked) to check for any alterations to your Drupal code base.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/AuqqVmcGWFgDMUXFxYrpxRyFhe7RcAHVQJzxXEJxSn8.jpg.jpg3962016-05-02no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/common-issues-migrations2022-02-28T21:19Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/core-migration-modules2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/custom-drupal-drupal-migrations2025-11-22T02:52Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-migrations-core-templates2024-12-27T21:39Zyearly0.9Create Migrations from Core TemplatesOne method of [creating a custom Drupal-to-Drupal migration](/tutorial/custom-drupal-drupal-migrations) involves using the Migrate Upgrade module to generate a set of migration configuration entities that you can use as a starting point. Even if you're not going to use the generated output in the end, this is still an informative exercise as it allows you to see examples of various migration paths. In this tutorial we'll: - Use the Migrate Upgrade module's Drush commands to import Drupal core's migration templates - Examine the generated configuration entities - Use the Migrate Tools module's Drush commands to view a list of the individual migrations that make up our Drupal-to-Drupal migration By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to use the Migrate Upgrade module to generate the migrations that Drupal core would use to migrate content, list those migrations, and inspect them individually.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/DBmAxf8L6FOFw0H7hKYh1GNL_LA5tHx8nhIB-UPmcVU.jpg.jpg6062016-09-01no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/export-migration-configuration-entities-module2024-12-27T21:39Zyearly0.9Export Migration Configuration Entities into a ModuleIf you want to modify the Drupal-to-Drupal migrations created by Migrate Upgrade you'll need to export the Migrate Plus configuration entities, convert the ones you want to customize to standard migration _.yml_ files, and put them into a custom module. Then, you can make edits the YAML definition of the migration, and keep your customizations in Git. We recommend creating a new module to house the code that makes up your custom Drupal-to-Drupal migration. In this tutorial we'll: - Create a new module - Export the migration configuration entities generated by `drush migrate-upgrade` as YAML files - Copy the files that represent the migrations we're interested in into our new module - Customize the copied files By the end of this tutorial you should have a new module that contains the starting migration YAML files for your custom migration.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/fJJnIMWXkSvjtlKTGaKti2dY_xGRD-IkDbyL5wX0QvY.jpg.jpg8332016-09-01no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/set-migrate-demo-site-and-source-data2023-05-06T01:46Znever0.9Set up Migrate Demo Site and Source DataBefore we can learn to write a custom migration, we need some sample data and a destination site for that data. In this tutorial we'll obtain some source data to work with and configure our Drupal destination site by creating the necessary content types and fields to accommodate the source data. Then we'll look at the data that we'll be importing and start to formulate a migration plan.

It's generally considered a best practice to keep business logic out of your form controller so that it can be reused. In order to accomplish that you'll generally define your business logic in a service, and then call out to that service from your form controller. Or, you can make use of one of the existing services provided by Drupal core to save data. In this tutorial we'll: - Use dependency injection to inject a service into a form controller - Make use of a service injected into a form controller from within the `buildForm()` and `submitForm()` methods By the end of this tutorial you'll understand how to inject one or more services into your form controller and then make use of them. **Note:** As of Drupal 10.2, regular controllers can use `AutowireTrait` for automatic dependency injection. However, form controllers do not yet support autowiring and still require the manual `create()` method approach demonstrated in this tutorial.

How do you know which hook to implement to accomplish a task? The list of hooks that are available to implement in your custom Drupal module varies depending on the modules enabled for a site. Each module can optionally invoke new hooks. There are also some hooks invoked by Drupal core subsystems like Form API that are always present. This can make it a little bit tricky sometimes to figure out what hooks are available, and which one to implement. In this tutorial we'll look at: - Different ways to get a list of available hooks - Where to find the documentation for a hook so you can know if it's the one you want to implement By the end of this tutorial you should be able to browse a list of hooks and their related documentation.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/ggvDYuivOATBz0b9hQ_2n1HGydXg2RsGTF5VlcePuFA.jpg.jpg7342017-01-09no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/implement-any-hook2025-01-29T02:43Zyearly0.9Implement Any HookHooks allow module developers to execute custom code at key moments during Drupal's request processing life cycle. They can be used to react to actions or conditions, alter forms and existing configuration, and extend Drupal in various ways. Knowing how to implement a hook is an essential skill for any Drupal developer. All hooks are implemented in the same way, so once you know how to implement one, you'll be able to implement any. In this tutorial we'll: - Define a recipe for implementing hooks - Locate a hook's documentation - Provide examples of both function-based and class-based hook implementations By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to start implementing any hook in your custom code.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/0jcxPaHQzc-gC5Ie9lvRohvHzmAWrDFa4yMrNNSeRXU.jpg.jpg6502017-01-09no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/define-and-invoke-new-hook2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9Define and Invoke a New HookAs a module developer you should define and invoke new hooks in your module in order to allow other developers -- or even future you -- to extend your module's functionality without hacking your module's code. This requires: - Creating a new, unique, name for your hook - Providing documentation for your hook - Invoking the hook at critical points in your code By the end of this tutorial you should have a better idea of when to define a new hook and know how to invoke a hook from your code.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/UMPC2kPtzSU7rYPSDEIIsOeZ-QzPcNrlMCr5g7qqxvo.jpg.jpg7122017-01-09no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-are-hooks2025-01-29T02:36Zyearly0.9What Are Hooks?Hooks allow modules to alter and extend the behavior of Drupal core, or another module. They are one of the various ways that code components in Drupal can communicate with one another. Using hooks a module developer can change how core or another module works -- without changing the existing code. As a Drupal developer, understanding how to implement and invoke hooks is essential. In this tutorial we'll: - Define what hooks are and the types of hooks that exist - Understand the use case for hooks By the end of this tutorial you should be familiar with the concept of hooks and understand when you might want to implement a hook.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Pw_PuLZJvWuS4eDoPy8Fc-voodItwePnK0n9XMjUDR8.jpg.jpg4852017-01-09no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-info-files-drupal-modules2025-11-05T21:18Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/course/coding-menu-links-module2025-11-11T17:40Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-action-link-module2024-07-12T21:59Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-contextual-link-module2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-local-task-link-module2024-07-12T21:59Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-menu-link-module2025-11-11T17:43Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-menu-links-module2024-07-12T21:59Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/define-permissions-module2024-12-27T21:39Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/course/plugin-api-drupal2024-11-08T19:55Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/define-new-plugin-type2025-11-05T03:10Zyearly0.9Define a New Plugin TypeKnowing how to define a new plugin type will allow you to write modules that are more extensible, and more configurable. In doing so you'll learn more about best practices in decoupling code within your module, and get an in-depth look at how the plugin system works. Even if you're not defining a new plugin type in your own module, understanding how the system works will give you more insight into how many parts of Drupal work. This is essential knowledge for anyone developing modules for Drupal. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to determine if defining a new plugin type is the right solution to your problem, and then understand the steps involved in doing so.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/7lqfOyiplKzbys83m6Z_kAKLd5PIw3JlXdq6oUR7LkE.jpg.jpg10342016-11-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/discover-existing-plugin-types2024-10-17T22:52Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/implement-plugin-any-type2025-11-22T02:52Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/plugin-derivatives2024-10-18T19:28Zyearly0.9Plugin DerivativesPlugin derivatives allow a single plugin to dynamically generate multiple plugin instances based on configuration or other data. This is useful for situations where user-entered data, or other dynamic configuration, might have an impact on available plugins. Or, put another way, any time you need to be able to dynamically generate plugin definitions. In this tutorial we'll: - Define what plugin derivatives are - Understand the use case for derivatives - Examine how core uses derivatives in order to demonstrate how you could write your own plugin deriver classhttp://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/KvQedjf3MSZ9Ya0YAp22S-eNM6bo2PQtpjFSiP0TlZ4.jpg.jpg8502016-11-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/plugin-discovery2024-10-18T19:58Zyearly0.9Plugin DiscoveryIn order for a plugin manager to locate instances of individual plugins within the Drupal code base it needs to know where to look, and how to interpret the data that it finds. This process is called plugin discovery and can be accomplished in several ways. In this tutorial, we'll look at what plugin discovery is doing at a high level, and then talk about the plugin discovery methods you can choose from when defining a new plugin type.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/rRqA6tsAnJPYgZ7HR126X3a0OEu8e07CHu1_UaZBLoE.jpg.jpg4952016-11-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/plugin-factories-and-mappers2024-10-18T20:01Zyearly0.9Plugin Factories and MappersLearn how the Plugin API takes a given plugin ID and uses it to instantiate and return a fully configured plugin object. In this tutorial we'll look at: - What factories are, and the role they serve in the Plugin API - The factories available in core - Using mappers to dynamically load a plugin when you don't know the ID of the specific plugin you need.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/rd0_DBbZs03dLinUEh08ylK-18i6VzM-APH048JSr7A.jpg.jpg4862016-11-17no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/plugin-managers2024-10-18T20:04Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/drupal-plugin-types2022-02-24T20:05Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-are-plugins2022-02-24T20:05Znever0.9What Are Plugins?The Drupal plugin system allows a particular module or subsystem to provide functionality in an extensible, object-oriented way. The controlling module defines the basic framework (interface) for the functionality, and other modules can create plugins (implementing the interface) with particular behaviors. Plugins are grouped into plugin types. Each plugin type is managed by a plugin manager service, which uses a plugin discovery method to discover provided plugins of that type and instantiate them using a plugin factory. The system aims to make it easy for developers to allow for management of these components via the user interface, giving more flexibility and control to site administrators. In this tutorial we'll take a high-level look at the problem the Plugin API is solving and provide a starting point for diving deeper into the various components that make up the Plugin API.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/zbyQjUSIBhc7ok4lpY6KujSmrZIH03sOMm70awTnEPY.jpg.jpg6322016-11-17no https://drupalize.me/course/render-api-concepts-drupal2024-11-08T20:00Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-access-showhide-elements-render-array2021-03-05T01:44Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-classes-and-html-attributes-render-arrays2025-12-09T21:47Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/render-api-callback-properties2024-10-07T16:58Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/output-list-items2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/blog/oscon-can-be-worth-investment2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-lazy-builders-and-placeholders2022-03-11T00:27Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/generate-urls-and-output-links2024-03-26T21:56Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/define-new-render-element-type2024-10-18T20:13Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/output-plain-text-and-simple-html-markup2025-12-10T16:44Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-prefix-and-suffix-properties-wrap-element2021-03-05T01:44Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/render-api-renderers2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/render-api-overview2022-02-24T20:05Znever0.9Render API OverviewThe Render API consists of two parts: structured arrays that provide data and hints about how that data should be rendered, and a rendering pipeline that can be used to render these arrays into various output formats. Understanding at least the basics of how the Render API works, the difference between elements and properties, and the concept of callback functions is an integral part of learning Drupal. In this tutorial we'll: - Look at the fundamentals of the Drupal Render API - Point to additional material to provide more detail about the inner workings of the Render API and how content is output in Drupalhttp://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Q_8uQWxQw9ulwi3sabGGe3yLOjiXRK5OM5wPbW7PyQE.jpg.jpg4072017-04-12no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-are-render-arrays2025-12-09T21:47Zyearly0.9What Are Render Arrays?The core structure of Drupal's Render API is the render array, which is a hierarchical associative array containing data to be rendered and properties describing how the data should be rendered. As a module developer you'll use render arrays to describe the content your module controls in order to output it on a page as HTML, or as part of a response in another format like JSON. As a theme developer, you'll manipulate render arrays in order to affect the way content is output on the page. In this tutorial we'll learn: - What render arrays are and why they exist - The basic format of a render array - What "properties" and "elements" signify in the context of a render array - Where to find more information about how to create a render array to describe your own content By the end of this tutorial you should be able to understand when you need to use a render array, recognize one when you see it, and know where to get more detailed information about render array formatting specifics.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/4B25P_S8CvITcFWhnfWau3fTrsUBiGKskil6iDjwJww.jpg.jpg7122017-04-12no https://drupalize.me/blog/drupalizeme-podcast-20-bdd-behat-and-drupal2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-cache-metadata-render-arrays2023-05-25T21:43Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-are-render-elements2025-12-09T21:47Zyearly0.9What Are Render Elements?One of the central components of Drupal's Render API is render elements. You can think of them as prepackaged [render arrays](/tutorial/what-are-render-arrays) or shortcuts you can use to describe common things, like tables, links, and form elements, in a consistent way. In this tutorial we'll take a more in-depth look at the use of the `#type` property in render arrays in order to answer questions like: - What are render elements, and what is their use case? - Where can I find more information about available element types? By the end of this tutorial you should be able to identify individual render element types within a larger render array, find the relevant documentation for specific types of render elements, and explain the use case for render elements.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/wC48laFcQlBv9BZ7AWfV9V8Ks8aLZBEy14Ygad3eDdk.jpg.jpg4822017-04-12no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/render-pipeline2023-06-06T21:17Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/output-table2022-03-11T00:27Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/output-content-template-file2025-12-10T13:57Zyearly0.9Output Content with a Template FileIn this tutorial we'll look at how you can use the `#theme` property of a [render array](/tutorial/what-are-render-arrays) to define custom HTML. With this information, module developers can use render arrays to define content, and theme developers can understand how elements in a render array are converted to HTML and which templates they can override to change the output for a specific element. Learn how to: - Use `hook_theme()` to define a new theme hook and define default values for variables - Create a corresponding Twig template file that outputs the variables and any custom HTML markup - Use a preprocess function to add additional variables for the Twig template file you created - Use the new theme hook in conjunction with a `#theme` property in a render array to link your Twig template file to actual content By the end of this tutorial you should know how to define new templates to output content as HTML. You should also have a better understanding of how Twig template files are linked to elements in a render array.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/_ZAPL1YzzpuWQL9BVlXYtbeHeuANcXGLbvxZHrgxpus.jpg.jpg6092017-04-12no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-render-element-types-render-array2025-12-09T21:47Zyearly0.9Use Render Element Types in a Render ArrayThere are a bunch of [existing render elements](https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/elements), most commonly Form API elements. You need to know how to discover and make use of existing elements. In this tutorial, we'll learn how to: - Locate a list of elements provided by Drupal core - Figure out what properties apply to each element - Use any render element type when defining content or forms in our code By the end of this tutorial you should know what render element types are available for you to use, and how to find the details you'll need in order to implement them in your own render arrays.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Iz_BxaUpCwHhJTLeoQtfRIroshhcOrvwidt6tmIqrtE.jpg.jpg4732017-04-12no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/discover-and-use-existing-services2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9Discover and Use Existing ServicesIt's best practice to access any of the services provided by Drupal via the service container to ensure the decoupled nature of these systems is respected. In order to do so, you need to know what services exists, and then, where possible, use dependency injection to use them in your code. This tutorial walks through the process of: - Discovering existing services and learn their machine name - Using the machine name of service to request a copy from the service containerhttp://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/I6OpDkCsoEpAM1WcyulfB9PaiWNKG3l_axoYAmc7eUE.jpg.jpg4772016-10-14no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/get-information-about-current-user2025-11-07T00:06Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/course/get-started-using-react-and-drupal-together2025-09-12T01:06Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/introduction-react-and-drupal2025-09-11T16:54Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/react-basics2022-03-30T03:39Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/decoupled-vs-progressively-decoupled2020-03-24T17:01Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/connect-react-drupal-theme-or-module2024-10-18T22:48Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-react-component2024-02-07T23:28Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/retrieve-data-api-react2022-03-30T03:23Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-react-list-content-drupal2025-12-04T00:21Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-update-and-delete-drupal-content-javascript2025-03-17T14:34Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/build-interface-edit-nodes-react2024-02-07T16:51Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-fully-decoupled-react-application2025-09-12T20:00Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/blog/using-drupal-book-video-lessons2023-08-11T00:48Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-create-react-app-start-decoupled-react-application2025-12-03T19:08Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/make-api-requests-oauth2025-11-14T00:00Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-fetch-and-oauth-make-authenticated-requests2025-09-12T00:01Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-webpack-and-react-fast-refresh-drupal-theme2025-03-17T14:34Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/course/search-api-and-solr-drupal2024-11-08T19:36Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/why-solr2023-01-20T22:41Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/plan-solr-installation2023-07-14T21:47Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-solr-locally2023-07-14T21:47Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/solr-cores2023-07-14T21:47Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/blog/drupal-8-new-multilingual-features2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/install-search-api2023-07-14T21:47Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/solr-and-multiple-environments2023-07-14T21:47Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-search-api-indexes2023-07-14T21:47Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/populate-search-api-indexes2023-07-14T21:47Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/index-reference-fields2023-07-14T21:47Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-search-pages-and-blocks-views2024-12-27T21:39Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/multiple-search-api-indexes2023-01-25T01:22Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/processors-search2023-07-14T21:47Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-excerpts-search-results2024-12-27T21:39Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-autocomplete-search2024-12-27T21:39Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/blog/drupalcamp-twin-cities2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/filter-search-results2024-12-27T21:50Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/facets-search2024-04-18T23:05Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-facet2024-12-27T21:50Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-facet-using-taxonomy2024-12-27T21:50Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/install-drupal-development-requirements-composer2024-11-08T00:21Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/convert-tests-simpletest-phpunit2025-11-14T00:00Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/frameworks-testing-drupal2024-11-07T00:59Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/implement-drupal-functional-test-dependencies2024-04-20T01:13Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/implement-functional-test2024-04-20T01:19Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/implement-unit-test-drupal2024-11-08T18:19Zyearly0.9Implement a Unit Test in DrupalLet's write somewhat strict unit tests in a Drupal module. By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to: - Understand what makes a unit test different from other types of tests. - Determine the specifications of a unit test. - Use mocking to isolate units under test, and to force code flow to achieve high coverage. We'll start out with a brief introduction to unit tests. Then we'll look at a contrived example of a Drupal controller class for illustration purposes. Next, we'll test two units of this controller class, each requiring different mock styles.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/mlBgOUbGz1-er_6F_fyEBYkyNADGzmhkskx4A2ewzi8.jpg.jpg5232018-01-23no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/introduction-testing-drupal2024-11-08T18:19Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/functional-javascript-testing-nightwatchjs2024-11-08T18:19Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/organize-test-files2024-11-08T18:19Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-phpunit-config-file-your-project2024-11-08T00:27Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/run-drupal-tests-phpunit2025-11-14T00:00Zyearly0.9Run Drupal Tests with PHPUnitIn this tutorial, we'll run tests in several different ways using the PHPUnit tools available in Drupal. We'll learn about various environment variables you'll need to supply to the test runner depending on which type of test you're running. And we'll learn various ways to get reports on the test results. By the end of this tutorial, you should understand how to run Drupal tests using PHPUnit.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/NKJH8o34JnQq_mk1tx8216xQXXqR8LJdrSxYdVOf0Nw.jpg.jpg3582018-01-23no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/run-drupal-tests-run-testssh-script2025-11-14T00:00Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/set-functional-test2024-11-08T18:19Zyearly0.9Set Up a Functional TestIn this tutorial, we'll walk through the process of setting up a functional test.

We'll be working on a functional test, but these techniques apply with minimum modification to all the Drupal PHPUnit-based tests. By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to set up and run functional tests in Drupal using two different test runners.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/gYsayoihIfIBHD7wXgJ_yzRJc5arUDIPh3o1MpQzFho.jpg.jpg3602018-01-23no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/software-testing-overview2024-11-08T00:47Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/blog/podcast-episode-22-decoupling-drupal2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/run-functional-javascript-tests2024-11-08T00:47Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/course/preprocess-functions-drupal-themes2024-11-08T18:57Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-logic-themenametheme2022-03-11T00:27Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-new-theme-hook-suggestions2022-02-24T20:05Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-regions-theme2022-04-26T21:36Znever0.9Add Regions to a ThemeCustomizing the available regions in your theme is one of the first things you'll do when creating your own themes. Doing so gives you complete control over where content is displayed on the page, and the markup involved. Adding regions to a theme is a two-step process that involves editing your theme's _THEMENAME.info.yml_ file and updating your _page.html.twig_ file. In this tutorial we'll: - Declare one or more new regions in our themes _THEMENAME.info.yml_ file. - Output the content of those regions in our theme via the _page.html.twig_ file. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to add or edit the regions a theme provides. Also, you'll ensure that blocks placed into regions are displayed by outputting the regions in the page template.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/_VhG4-3vwFt78vkwhJnuTLA9spkPs_9Lza8rjRCCSzM.jpg.jpg5512016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-screenshot-your-theme2023-01-03T21:52Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-variables-template-file2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9Add Variables to a Template FilePreprocess functions are specially-named functions that can be used to add new variables to a Twig template file. They are commonly used by themes to add new variables based on custom PHP logic and simplify accessing the data contained in complex entity structures. For example: adding a variable to all _node.html.twig_ template files that contains the combined content a couple of specific fields under a meaningful name like `{{ call_to_action }}`. Modules use preprocess functions to expose the dynamic data they manage to Twig template files, or to alter data provided by another module based on custom logic. In this tutorial we'll learn how to: - Use PHP to perform some complex logic in our theme. - Store the resulting calculation in a variable. - Make that variable available to a Twig template file. Example use cases for adding variables with preprocess functions include: - Anytime calculating the value to output in a template requires logic more complex than an if/else statement. - Anytime the desired value requires additional string manipulation beyond what can be easily accomplished using an existing Twig filter or function. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to expose new variables to a Twig template file by defining a preprocess function in either a module or a theme.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/SyHW_buoQdPbaX4jTHMAjrrKUuBAOunXYfj7uarNHdY.jpg.jpg3652016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/arrays-and-objects-twig2023-01-12T21:54Znever0.9Arrays and Objects in TwigTwig has a special syntax for accessing array keys and objects, also known in Twig as _variable attributes_. In this tutorial, we'll cover the period or dot (`.`) operator to access a variable attribute, as well as subscript or square-bracket syntax, useful for when the key of the array contains special characters, like a dash (`-`) or pound sign (`#`). We'll also look at the logic Twig uses to find the matching attribute in an array or object.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/d61qx4APRUwYq2QHdEM0fNgiHjwOmGlOYl9yjPpckBc.jpg.jpg2922016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/course/asset-libraries-drupal2024-11-08T18:57Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/attach-asset-library2023-06-01T22:46Znever0.9Attach an Asset LibraryOnce you've defined an asset library you'll need to tell Drupal when you want to add the CSS and JavaScript that it includes to the page. Ideally you'll do so in a way that allows Drupal to only add the corresponding assets on pages where they are needed. You can attach a library to all pages, a subset of pages, or to elements in a render array. This allows you to have some assets that are global, and others that get loaded on an as-needed basis. To attach a library you'll need to know both its name and prefix, and then use one of the techniques outlined below to let Drupal know when to include it. In this tutorial, we'll look at attaching asset libraries: - Globally, via your _THEMENAME.info.yml_ file - Conditionally, via a preprocess function using the `#attached` render array property - Inside of a Twig template file By the end of this tutorial you should be able to attach asset libraries in various different ways depending on your use case.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/OXoV8gNcPKr7Qkn77hL3pfN7GAIQf00MCPECayjTyaA.jpg.jpg2812016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/backbonejs-theme-or-module2023-06-28T20:52Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/course/responsive-image-styles-drupal2024-11-08T19:05Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-breakpoint-yaml-file2022-03-11T00:27Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/breakpoints-and-media-queries2017-03-30T00:08Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/change-theme-settings2022-02-24T00:19Znever0.9Change Theme SettingsSome, but not all, themes come with administrator-configurable settings that you can change through the UI.

In this tutorial we’ll look at where you can find these theme settings if they exist, and how to go about changing them.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/xAEMKfWzQC8F_FIWyobTF5RjQsS6s4eV9OwH7jDrJHw.jpg.jpg4272016-04-27no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/change-variables-preprocess-functions2025-11-07T23:03Zyearly0.9Change Variables with Preprocess FunctionsPreprocess functions are specially-named PHP functions that allow themes and modules to modify the variables passed to a Twig template file. They are commonly used by themes to alter existing variables before they are passed to the relevant template files. For example; Changing the makeup of render array so that it renders an `<ol>` list instead of a `<ul>` list. Or appending data to the label of a node depending on custom logic. In this tutorial we'll: - Define a new preprocess function in our theme's _.theme_ file - Use the preprocess functions to modify the content of an existing variable before it's used in Twig By the end of this tutorial you should be able to define new preprocess functions in a theme (or module) that manipulate the variables for a specific Twig template file.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/kc5HvBs_xsPtp8VPmyi_pe-NY_Iv2HuHsexpOWDw7sM.jpg.jpg3202016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/classes-and-attributes-twig-templates2024-07-17T22:39Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/blog/release-day-installing-and-updating-drupal2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/clear-drupals-cache2025-04-10T20:26Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/configure-your-environment-theme-development2024-02-16T23:22Znever0.9Configure Your Environment for Theme DevelopmentMaking Drupal [fast by default](/tutorial/fast-default) implies having caching layers and CSS and JavaScript aggregation utilities enabled out-of-the-box. As a theme developer this can be annoying, because you must clear these various caches in order to preview any changes. In addition, inspecting variables with debugging tools often produces PHP errors. We'll make some recommendations for PHP settings on your local environment that can prevent these errors from happening so often. By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to: - Set up your local Drupal site for theme development - Prepare your local development environment for working on and debugging themeshttp://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Wh0V-bW7TgygY4_flCTRNdkMHQ0ZliQSiFHPxhNC50k.jpg.jpg7022016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/core-themes-bartik2021-02-11T23:52Znever0.9Core Themes: BartikBartik is a core theme in Drupal.

This is true whether it's a custom theme you wrote yourself, or a contributed theme you downloaded from Drupal.org. Installing themes can be done either via the user interface, or using Drush. Once a theme is installed, users of your site will see all public facing page rendered using that theme. Themes that are no longer being used can safely be uninstalled. In this tutorial we'll: - Demonstrate how to install a theme and make it the default using both the UI and Drush. - Learn to differentiate between installed themes, default themes, and uninstalled themes. - Configure our site to use an administration theme for the administrative pages. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to install a theme and make it the one visitors to your site see by default.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/BF9VYpB2xtj6eelf17RO1RQCn6CpXwXdcZYZkF3jyqQ.jpg.jpg2512016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-javascript-drupal2024-07-17T22:39Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/loops-and-iterators-twig2024-10-10T18:18Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/blog/release-day-drupal-basics-jumpstart-series2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/make-strings-translatable2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/make-your-theme-translatable2022-03-11T00:27Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/modernizrjs-theme-or-module2023-06-01T22:57Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/override-template-file2024-01-31T19:54Znever0.9Override a Template FileThis tutorial demonstrates how to locate the template file that is currently being used to render an element and override it in your own theme.

In this tutorial we'll: - Override the _node.html.twig_ template in our theme - Make changes to the markup - Create a content-type-specific template override like _node--CONTENT_TYPE.html.twig_ By the end of this tutorial you should be able to modify the HTML markup used to display a node, or any other element of the page generated using a template file.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/2CzL7ey-1PR-BUvWfCTNm4TBYbAT5t54oGEcZGi-kjo.jpg.jpg4742016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/print-values-field-loop2023-02-17T00:24Znever0.9Print Values from a Field with a For LoopThe ability to loop over an array of values in a Twig template and print out each value individually is an important skill for anyone developing themes for Drupal. Common scenarios include: loop over the values of a multiple value field; iterate through a list of links; and display error messages at the top of forms. This tutorial will provide an example of using the Twig `for` function to iterate over a list, or a subset of a list. In this tutorial we'll cover how to: - Output values from a multi-value field in an unordered list. - Add first and last classes to the first and last items in a list by using the Twig `loop` variable. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to print out the values of an array as individual list items using a loop in Twig.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/MbL5U32QO3fJg1L7mU7AsZAQhRAweaUSDVAAiExmXBk.jpg.jpg2602016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/regions2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9RegionsThemes define the regions that are available for site administrators to place blocks in, creating a layout framework within which the components that compose a page can be placed. As a theme developer you'll need to determine what regions are necessary to accommodate your design's layout, while also ensuring it'll work with the way Drupal uses blocks to place content onto the page. Deciding what regions to create requires knowledge of how Drupal works and a clear vision of the design you're trying to achieve. In this tutorial we'll: - Explain what regions are and how they relate to themes - Describe how regions are handled internally within Drupal - Demonstrate things to keep in mind when planning the regions for your custom theme By the end of this tutorial you should be able to describe what a region is, explain how Drupal themes use regions to place content, and get started dissecting your own designs into regions.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/EL8jiq952xquEi7YntS0n1gr4E7KLlcaoxfT2R5PG9M.jpg.jpg6572016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/responsive-image-module-overview2023-03-22T01:10Znever0.9Responsive Image Module OverviewThe Responsive Image module provides a process for transforming images uploaded through image fields into responsive images. This is accomplished through the configuration of responsive image styles. The configuration form for adding and editing responsive image styles is quite extensive. In this tutorial, we'll go through this form and learn what each option entails. By the end of this lesson, you should have a good understanding of the various options in the responsive image style configuration form.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/C2mM0hVSSHTKDE1wNU4sta1fEU58_V6QOhcoZF9V2D4.jpg.jpg6352017-03-30no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/responsive-image-style-use-cases2021-02-11T23:52Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-responsive-image-style-viewport-sizing2021-01-09T02:21Znever0.9Create a Responsive Image Style for Viewport-SizingIn this tutorial, we're going to add a responsive image style to an image field on the Article content type. This will add the `srcset` and `sizes` attributes to the output `<img>` element, providing media conditions, width descriptors, and a set of image sources for the browser to choose from, depending on the user device's viewport size. This solution, especially when used in conjunction with CSS, will provide flexible, fluid, and faster-loading images for your site, and will work for probably 80% of use cases. It does not provide "art direction", that is, making cropping, aspect ratio, or orientation changes to an image. This solution also provides for different display-densities, like 1.5x and 2x image sources without the need for display-density descriptors. Another benefit of this solution is that it uses the Responsive Image module's breakpoint configuration file, so there is no need for you to [create a breakpoint file](/tutorial/what-breakpoint-yaml-file) in your theme to implement this flavor of responsive image style.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/TH3axqbkGF_1WVP5qyU0mV1chRXbMHShjMUE0TbeD6U.jpg.jpg10582017-03-30no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/how-find-route-drupal2025-11-05T02:39Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-server-side-settings-drupalsettings2025-12-02T23:21Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/string-manipulation-javascript2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/structure-theme2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9Structure of a ThemeEach theme is a collection of files that define a presentation layer for Drupal. While only a _THEMENAME.info.yml_ file is required, most themes will contain other files as well. Some are Drupal-specific, and need to follow a strict naming convention and be placed in the appropriate place for Drupal to find them. Others are standard front-end web assets like CSS, JavaScript, and image files that can be placed anywhere within the theme's code. In this tutorial we'll learn about: - The various types of files you can expect to find in a theme directory - Where in the Drupal code base your theme directory should live - Keeping the directory and all the files within organized By the end of this tutorial you should be able to explain where a Drupal theme should be placed in a project's code base, and the types of files one can expect to find in a theme.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/fnaL1jcbqeRYpFaurYReWXYH7zDShjtcUDspyyYWzWU.jpg.jpg4622016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/theme-inheritance-base-themes2022-03-11T00:27Znever0.9Theme Inheritance with Base ThemesCustom themes in Drupal must be configured to inherit settings, templates, and other assets from a parent theme. Which base theme you use is configurable. This allows theme developers to use a different set of markup as the starting point for their theme, organize various theme assets into a more maintainable structure, and more. All of this is made possible because of how Drupal's theme layer uses a chain of inheritance when assembling all the parts of a theme. Base themes are also a powerful way to encapsulate standards and best practices into a reusable code base. You'll find dozens of contributed base themes on Drupal.org that can serve as a great starting point, especially if you're planning to work with an existing design framework like Bootstrap or Susy Grids. Or if you want to leverage modern JavaScript bundling without setting up Webpack on your own. In this tutorial we'll: - Learn what base themes and subthemes are - Look at a few examples of template inheritance and how that works - Discuss some use cases for theme inheritance By the end of this tutorial you'll know how to declare the base theme that your theme builds upon.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/rluS2N04X5YE3fw77fMRnl-wFL6bkwkwmvN0w2pnK1c.jpg.jpg5232016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/theme-settings-overview2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-drupalt-translatable-strings-javascript2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-links-twig-template-file2025-11-04T19:09Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/twig-drupal2025-11-04T19:09Zyearly0.9Twig in DrupalTwig is the default template engine for Drupal.

In this tutorial we'll: - Explore each of Twig's 3 syntax delimiters. - Show examples of each from Drupal's core template files. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to recognize each of Twig's syntax delimiters and understand what the engine will do when it encounters them.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/3J1xuadFWOkyKHRHF5kQ6IHR0uBIPH16ja9nfRlJWQw.jpg.jpg2472016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/twig-template-inheritance2025-11-04T19:09Zyearly0.9Twig Template InheritanceMore often than not, templates in a theme share common elements: the header, footer, sidebar, or more. In Drupal, themes created with a Twig template can be decorated by another one. This template inheritance allows you to build a base "layout" template that contains all the common elements of your layout defined as blocks. A child template can extend the base layout and override any of its defined blocks. This helps prevent code duplication, and keeps your theme more organized. This tutorial is for theme developers who want to reduce code duplication in their themes, or anyone seeking to better understand how Twig template inheritance works. We'll cover: - What the Twig `block` and `extends` tags do - An example use-case for template inheritance - How to extend a Twig template from another theme or module - How to include other Twig templateshttp://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/vso3lylGQbh9f2JcTq8S1Wrk1hSD4-Dl9UnpqJ-h-MA.jpg.jpg3782016-06-22no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/whitespace-control-twig2025-11-04T19:09Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/underscorejs-theme-or-module2023-01-27T01:12Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-base-theme2024-08-13T18:04Zyearly0.9Use a Base ThemeMake your theme a subtheme of a _base_ theme, allowing it to inherit all the base theme's templates and other properties. When creating Drupal themes it is common to use the Classy theme provided with Drupal core as a base theme to jumpstart your development. In this tutorial we'll learn how to: - Use the `base theme` key in our theme's _THEMENAME.info.yml_ file - Make our Ice Cream theme inherit from the Classy theme, or any other theme By the end of this tutorial you should be able to tell Drupal that your theme is a child of another theme and should inherit all of the parent theme's features.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/zD8Ru_sVTuMe5nC3DexqV1NWK1mzWJYSqe2H-0WTn7k.jpg.jpg3662016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/use-drupaltheme-html-markup-javascript2025-12-02T23:21Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/standardize-your-javascript-eslint2024-08-05T13:02Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-are-asset-libraries2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-are-preprocess-functions2023-01-26T00:12Znever0.9What Are Preprocess Functions?Preprocess functions allow Drupal themes to manipulate the variables that are used in Twig template files by using PHP functions to _preprocess_ data before it is exposed to each template. All of the dynamic content available to theme developers within a Twig template file is exposed through a preprocess function. Understanding how preprocess functions work, and the role they play, is important for both module developers and theme developers. In this tutorial we'll learn: - What preprocess functions are and how they work - The use case for preprocess functions - The order of execution for preprocess functions By the end of this tutorial you should be able to explain what preprocess functions are and the role they play in a Drupal theme.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/84HZg2wr2rJLrxrmoIqU3mEPV1HRRG8fkiVIaggAvig.jpg.jpg3762016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-are-template-files2023-06-28T21:49Znever0.9What Are Template Files?Template files are responsible for the HTML markup of every page generated by Drupal. Any file ending with the _.html.twig_ extension is a template file. These files are composed of standard HTML markup as well as tokens used by the Twig template engine to represent dynamic content that will be substituted into the HTML markup when the template is used. As a theme developer, you'll work with this a lot. In this tutorial we’re going to learn about: - What template files are, and how they fit into the big picture of creating a theme - How template files are used in order to allow theme developers to modify the HTML markup output by Drupal - Naming conventions for, and specificity of, template fileshttp://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Q6X0uCCmuq5hwEEnUYWR14-gNEHztD6_UuZPRBlwQyQ.jpg.jpg7002016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/blog/release-day-finishing-jumpstart-project2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-theme2021-02-11T23:52Znever0.9What Is a Theme?Themes are the part of Drupal that you, and anyone else visiting your Drupal powered application, see when they view any page in their browser. You can think of a theme as a layer, kind of like a screen, that exists between your Drupal content and the users of your site. Whenever a page is requested Drupal does the work of assembling the content to display into structured data which is then handed off to the presentation layer to determine how to visually represent the data provided. Drupal themes are created by front-end developer. Frequently referred to as _themers_, or _theme developers_. Themes consist of standard web assets like CSS, JavaScript, and images, combined with Drupal-specific templates for generating HTML markup, and YAML files for telling Drupal about the file and features that make up each individual theme. In this tutorial we'll: - Explain what a Drupal theme is. - Explain the role of a Drupal themer in the process of building a Drupal site. - Get a high level overview of the types of files/code that themes are made of. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to explain what a Drupal theme is, and the kind of work a Drupal theme developer will be expected to do.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/85N9qD2xS-egRlp1R0Ejde5O-kzC3MjJHmT0CynQnrQ.jpg.jpg2362016-02-24no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/wrap-your-custom-javascript-closure2021-01-20T20:18Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/drupal-console2024-07-12T21:59Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/install-drush-using-composer2025-10-21T16:08Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-filter-criteria-view2020-12-09T02:02Znever0.9Add Filter Criteria to a ViewIn this tutorial, we'll walk through the process of adding and configuring filters and adding a filter group.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/2rXQO2E9sz2UDc5aYluQdbPNk1QL3xfnZYTK7RWtlBE.jpg.jpg3802019-12-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-sort-criteria-view2022-01-26T01:22Znever0.9Add Sort Criteria to a ViewIn this tutorial, we'll walk through the process of adding and configuring sort criteria to a view.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/1sogA0PpjDcRYelEDggYdCp1YGpfHyjGc883UXvX8nA.jpg.jpg1182019-12-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/create-page-contextual-filter2021-07-14T20:00Znever0.9Create a Page with a Contextual FilterIn this tutorial, we'll add and configure a contextual filter for a view. Our _Baseball Awards_ **content type** has a field _Year_. We'll make it possible for a page to be dynamically created on our site that contains the year and lists the awards for that specific year. To do this, we'll add a contextual filter to the _Baseball Awards_ **view** that will allow visitors to filter the list of awards by the award year. We'll also add a block using the summary view contextual filter configuration, which visitors can use to view results for specific years.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/-UYZEyu45Xf2oqZGjchLdLtPKGbAn6I5Hzn4Ee3avB4.jpg.jpg6292019-12-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-rest-endpoint-views2020-12-09T01:54Znever0.9Add a REST Endpoint with ViewsOne of the ways you can create a REST endpoint in Drupal is by using Views. In this tutorial, we'll add a REST endpoint display to a view of baseball players. We'll examine and configure settings that are unique to the REST endpoint display. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to: - Add a REST endpoint display to a view - Understand how to configure settings for an endpointhttp://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/mYkXWIV_m6e_ItRBVxzld3SZ-2fbuhDKgZcbW5uRpUg.jpg.jpg2732019-12-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/expose-filter-criteria-users-views2020-12-09T02:04Znever0.9Expose Filter Criteria to Users in ViewsInstead of providing multiple views with different filter criteria, consider empowering your users by exposing filter criteria as an interactive form. You can even configure the forms to use AJAX to refresh results. In this tutorial, we'll walk through the process of adding and configuring exposed filter or sort criteria in a view.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Z8KAVaaXzfIXHvsmM8B58nm39zSn46DzYZZ4eHqCRNE.jpg.jpg2072019-12-16no https://drupalize.me/blog/now-hiring-drupal-trainers2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/expose-sort-criteria-users-views2021-10-28T11:36Znever0.9Expose Sort Criteria to Users in ViewsLike exposed filters, we can expose sort criteria to the site visitor. Exposing sort criteria gives the visitor more control over the list of content they are viewing. In this tutorial, we'll configure our view of baseball players to allow visitors to sort the list in different ways by adding several exposed sort criteria.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/OQeaGvMj445O0yEaiXxHNcHQp5LSb1NVQ2XrY7B5qfE.jpg.jpg3882019-12-10no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-contextual-filters-views2020-09-30T23:55Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-exposed-filter-criteria-views2020-09-30T23:55Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-exposed-sort-criteria-views2020-09-30T23:55Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-filter-criteria-views2020-09-30T23:55Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-relationships-views2020-09-30T23:55Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-sort-criteria-views2020-09-30T23:55Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/course/views-api-drupal2024-11-08T19:03Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/blog/podcast-episode-23-alex-pott-and-working-drupal-core2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-theming-views2022-03-16T00:26Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-relationship-view2020-12-09T02:10Znever0.9Add a Relationship to a ViewNow that you [understand the purpose of relationships in Views](/tutorial/overview-relationships-views), let's add a relationship to a view so that we can access and display a field value from a related entity. In this tutorial, we'll modify the _Player Awards_ view to add a relationship to the player that received the award. Then we will add a field that belongs to the player content that would normally not be available to the view without our new relationship.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/BYixmO8Yrsf_IffZxgnLLfBei43Soja8_diewQDAeug.jpg.jpg3472019-12-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/override-views-wrapper-template2023-03-14T22:59Znever0.9Override a View's Wrapper TemplateNow that we understand what templates are and how we can use them, let's override some templates! In this tutorial we'll copy the views wrapper template to our theme and override it so that we can customize the markup for the Baseball Players view. Then we'll modify the template so that our view's pager appears both above and below our table of players.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/wSkz5IMplHvk9FX_Apt032FP5vfcWhsHlCaZ9OK9asI.jpg.jpg2212019-12-16no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/set-demo-site-views-and-content2025-02-08T00:35Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/define-custom-views-access-plugin2024-10-18T23:06Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/define-custom-views-area-handler-plugin2024-10-07T16:58Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/add-relationships-between-2-tables-views2024-09-13T22:22Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/expose-custom-database-table-views2024-10-18T23:06Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/alter-view-after-render-process2024-09-13T22:22Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/alter-view-its-rendered2024-09-18T20:18Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/blog/release-day-building-fields-and-views2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/alter-query-used-view2024-09-13T22:22Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-views-api-drupal2024-09-13T22:22Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-build-and-render-cycles-views2024-09-18T20:18Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/expose-custom-entities-views2023-08-11T21:39Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/define-custom-views-filter-plugin2024-10-18T23:06Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/define-custom-views-sort-plugin2024-10-18T23:06Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/define-views-field-handler-plugin2024-10-18T23:06Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/overview-views-plugins2024-10-18T23:06Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/define-custom-views-pseudo-field-plugin2024-10-18T23:06Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/define-custom-views-style-plugin2024-10-18T23:06Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/course/web-services-drupal2025-09-12T00:37Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/detect-presentation-your-data-model2022-03-16T00:26Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/api-authentication-and-authorization2025-09-12T20:14Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/automatic-documentation-schemata2024-08-28T15:21Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/separation-concerns-content-vs-presentation2019-07-12T22:04Znever0.9Separation of Concerns: Content vs. PresentationTraditional Drupal development using the [render pipeline](/tutorial/render-pipeline) allows you to ignore the pitfalls of mixing content and presentation logic in your data model. In a scenario with multiple distribution channels, this separation becomes of critical importance. In this tutorial we will learn how to: - Understand the importance of presentation and content separation (delivering clean content, not caring about how to show that content) - Develop strategies to avoid these presentational problems with minimal damage to the content API By the end of this tutorial you'll have a better understanding of why keeping presentation data out of your content model is important, and some tips for doing so.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/tnHs1sWsQEpE5c6f15VDgfAbzk_PivDzNVpAdORdL8I.jpg.jpg3472017-10-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/access-api-browser-cross-origin-resource-sharing2022-03-17T17:43Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/web-service-documentation2019-10-15T02:02Znever0.9Web Service DocumentationWhen you are implementing an HTTP API for a decoupled project, one of the critical, but often overlooked, aspects is the API documentation. Documenting your API will allow front-end developers (and you six months from now) to learn how to use that particular API. In Drupal, there are several modules that can read your site configuration and generate documentation for you automatically. In this tutorial we're going to: - Learn about the importance of good documentation. - Decide whether or not to use an existing specification for our API such as JSON:API or GraphQL. - Review options for automatically generating documentation. By the end of this tutorial you'll be able to decide whether or not using an existing documentation specification is a good fit for your project, and choose an option based on those available for use with Drupal.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/wjNN8h5nAgRshDQqDYqoSYbwrVf9EESY85n2tRv7FZU.jpg.jpg2612017-10-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/jsonapi-collections2022-03-11T00:27Znever0.9JSON:API CollectionsJSON:API includes a way to request a list of entities of a given resource from the server. Collections are the best way to find content based on filters, and to build listings into the consumers. Moreover, collections can be combined with all the options you can apply to a single resource, like [sparse fieldsets](/tutorial/jsonapi-sparse-fieldsets) and [includes](/tutorial/jsonapi-includes). In this tutorial we'll: - Learn about what collections are in JSON:API - Learn how to request, sort, and paginate lists of content By the end of this tutorial you should know how to retrieve a list of resources from the JSON:API server, and how to optionally sort and paginate the items in the list.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Y99aBEgz9Z9sc_4PJ2aBvX281pNYPPqTjcNwMZYc0sI.jpg.jpg9592017-10-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/jsonapi-post-requests-create-entity2023-01-25T23:51Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/jsonapi-error-handling2024-06-18T21:06Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/blog/podcast-episode-24-coderdojo-and-drupal2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/jsonapi-filtering-collections2022-03-11T00:27Znever0.9JSON:API Filtering Collections[Collections](/tutorial/jsonapi-collections) are a very powerful feature because they allow us to access multiple items at the same time. However, in many situations we do not want to access all the entities of a given type, but only the ones that meet some specific criteria. In order to reduce the set of entities in the collection to the ones we care about, we use filters. In this tutorial we will: - Look at the `filter` query string parameter and how it can be used with JSON:API collections - Learn how to use filters in combination with the JSON:API module for Drupal to reduce the list of entities in a collection By the end of this tutorial you should be able to request a list of entities in the form of a JSON:API collection and filter that list to include only the entities that match a specific set of requirements.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/8jEPK2wDtl_Q5nvdH_e_dTqYLDCPOgJzPelrgFpEm0s.jpg.jpg2242017-10-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/jsonapi-includes2019-07-12T22:04Znever0.9JSON:API IncludesEmbedding resources at the consumer's demand is one of the crucial features of a modern API. We mentioned in [Modern Web Services with JSON:API and GraphQL](/tutorial/modern-web-services-jsonapi-and-graphql) that multiple round trips to the server is harmful for performance. This issue can be overcome by making a request that embeds any required related resources into the response for the resource we're retrieving. In this tutorial, we'll learn how to use JSON:API's `include` parameter to embed resources in a response. By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to make a single request that retrieves multiple embeded resources in order to improve the performance of your application when interacting with a JSON:API server.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/x99XvvZR6bLTiXrXG5d2wYyZ-yV_sC9oAsu-pFq7kOg.jpg.jpg3562017-10-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/install-jsonapi-module2022-03-29T01:00Znever0.9Install JSON:API ModuleThe JSON:API module is our recommended starting point for creating REST APIs with Drupal. JSON:API module is now part of Drupal core as of 8.7, so installing the module no longer requires a separate download step. In this tutorial we'll: - Walk through installing the JSON:API module for Drupal - Look at what you get out of the box with the JSON:API module By the end of this tutorial you should be able to install the JSON:API module, and know what tools it provides you with.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/xx-bvOoe9BXqdPioQFWpR-X4Df3u-gtw5XpETCmhydQ.jpg.jpg772017-10-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/jsonapi-filters-nested-relationships2024-05-31T01:22Zyearly0.9JSON:API Filters on Nested RelationshipsIncludes and filters are really powerful features. When combined together you can achieve almost any query your consumer application needs. _Fancy filters_ we mentioned [in a previous tutorial](/tutorial/jsonapi-filtering-collections) allow us to filter a collection based on fields of related entities, in addition to the fields directly under that entity. In this tutorial we will: - Learn about filtering based on data in related resources - Filter based on multiple conditions and multi-value fields - Demonstrate how to filter a collection of articles based on author or tags By the end of this tutorial you should be able to use nested filters in conjunction with relationships to further refine the list of content returned in a JSON:API collection.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/RbiZRRUAAFJCgLTVS_queQQ3xzyzUKRUWIC1CgMiaqU.jpg.jpg3562017-10-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/jsonapi-relationships2020-06-09T17:20Znever0.9JSON:API RelationshipsDrupal allows for a rich data model where entity reference fields can be used to relate any number of different items together in different ways. The data models that you can build with Drupal are often prolific in relationships, which means we need a way to handle these in our API. While Drupal treats a field with a string, and a field with an entity reference the same, JSON:API distinguishes between attributes and relationships. In this tutorial we'll: - Look at how JSON:API represents relationships between two or more resources - How to distinguish between an attribute and a relationship in a response object - Learn about what information is available for each relationship and how we can use it By the end of this tutorial, you should have a better understanding of how the JSON:API specification represents relationships modeled using Drupal entity reference fields.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/2m8A5qzjnGcvagCiRe14sZt7djImrAw5CvF1Grq96XU.jpg.jpg2442017-10-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/jsonapi-delete-requests-delete-entity2019-07-12T22:56Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/jsonapi-resource-requests2019-07-12T22:04Znever0.9JSON:API Resource RequestsBeing able to retrieve resources from an API is a fundamental first step. In this tutorial we will learn how to: - Issue an HTTP request to extract information about a node from the JSON:API server - Examine the response from the server By the end of this tutorial you should know how to use an HTTP Get request to return a resource from the JSON:API server, and know what the default response for the resource will contain.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/DzfI2422XjDWKf-IREIbiITsydURECO8yXClVl-NQnw.jpg.jpg1172017-10-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/jsonapi-security-considerations2022-03-17T17:43Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/jsonapi-sparse-fieldsets2020-02-03T20:29Znever0.9JSON:API Sparse FieldsetsBy default, the JSON:API returns all the available data for an object in its response. Using JSON:API _sparse fieldsets_ you can increase the performance of your consumer application by reducing the fields in the returned response object to just those that you need. In this tutorial, we will learn how to reduce the output to get *exactly* the information that we need from the API. This is one of the most important features of modern APIs like JSON:API. By the end of this tutorial, you'll know what sparse fieldsets are, the role they fulfill, and how to use them when requesting data from a JSON:API server.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/c64CFRIpxkKSY33qga-vTql0vjU5T-0PSGB6YWj3gtk.jpg.jpg1442017-10-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/jsonapi-patch-requests-update-entity2022-03-17T17:43Znever0.9 https://drupalize.me/blog/release-day-reviewing-our-job-board-project2023-05-15T12:59Znever0.8 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/modern-web-services-jsonapi-and-graphql2022-03-18T03:08Znever0.9Modern Web Services with JSON:API and GraphQLIn the last several years REST has been the de facto standard for web services. However, there are several common problems when developing websites and digital experiences with the traditional REST implementations. Luckily, those issues have solutions, either complete or partial. Modern web service specifications like [JSON:API](http://jsonapi.org) and [GraphQL](http://graphql.org) implement those solutions, although they differ slightly in their implementation. In this tutorial we will learn about: - The problems of traditional REST implementations - Common solutions to those problems, and how JSON:API and GraphQL deal with them By the end of this tutorial you'll be able to explain some of the common pitfalls of REST-based APIs, and how JSON:API and GraphQL address those issues.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/mnTH6d3o2dLOMPj_Ad14COlkElB7kVv87Lv_Dg9IIdQ.jpg.jpg3082017-10-03no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/make-authenticated-request-using-oauth-22025-10-21T12:08Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/get-token-oauth-2-requests2025-10-21T12:08Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/install-and-configure-simple-oauth2025-12-04T00:21Zyearly0.9 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/what-are-web-services2019-07-12T21:59Znever0.9What Are Web Services?The term _web services_ has been around for quite a while. Given that web services is such a broad topic, let's define what web services are and how we are going to refer to them throughout this series so we are all on the same page. This tutorial is an introduction to web services that will help you: - Learn what a web service is. - Understand that this series focuses on HTTP web services, and mostly on REST principles. - Get some examples of APIs in the wild and what type of consumers they have. By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to define what web services are, and how we'll use the term in the context of these

https://drupalize.me/tutorial/drupal-drupal-migration-planning-code-inventory2023-08-03T18:27Znever0.9Drupal-to-Drupal Migration Planning: Code InventoryBefore you can migrate your Drupal 7 site to the latest version of Drupal you'll need to be able to build the features that make up the current site. Part of this is evaluating all the modules you've got installed, figuring out what you're using them for, and if there's a version that's compatible with the latest version of Drupal along with a migration path. I usually make a spreadsheet for this. But any list of the modules you’re currently using that allows you to keep track of how you plan to update them will work. You also want to keep track of where you are in the process of figuring that all out. Because it’s likely you’ll have some modules for which the path is clear, and others where it’s pretty murky and requires more in-depth research to find a path forward. Having a list means you can break that up into tasks, and ensure you’re not missing something. It'll also help you define when your migration is done as well as any final quality assurance (QA) tasks. In this tutorial we'll: - Start a list of the modules that make up our current site. - Point to some tools that can help speed up the process of evaluating a module's readiness. - Provide a set of questions that you can ask about each module you're using as part of your planning process. By the end of this tutorial you should have a list of all the modules you're currently using, and some tools you can use to help you figure out how to move forward with each one.http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/PqenKEc9QPYMj0NECPVaoRsNwDufgA-7ykf4KuDUBvE.jpg.jpg3552023-06-08no

https://drupalize.me/tutorial/creating-custom-image-styles2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Creating Custom Image StylesThis video is about making custom image sizes for automatic display on your site! I am going to show you how you can create custom thumbnail sizes that can be used in your content types. We already know that being able to set a standard for image display creates consistency and a better user experience. It also makes it for easier site administration because you don’t need to cut all of you images before you upload them. Drupal does all the work for you!! And we can specify the exact site we want to use. I am assuming that you already know how to update the field display settings in your content type to select an image style preset. For this tutorial, you need to make sure the Image module that comes with Drupal Core is enabled. We are going to create an image display that has an aspect ratio of 4”x6”, but much smaller. Then we are going to add a couple other treatments to it so that it fits the theme of Photo Journal. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/3VCB2abAl7Wtkn9-8udNrZfoerBwCAA_vLEiBFp0wYo.jpg.jpg4012011-06-15no https://drupalize.me/course/jquery-and-javascript-drupal-series2025-05-16T21:41Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/what-is-drupal2023-05-17T01:14Znever https://drupalize.me/course/command-line-basics2024-07-19T23:20Zyearly0.7 https://drupalize.me/tutorial/moving-around-command-line2023-12-21T22:14Znever0.9Moving Around the Command Line<p>The command line can be a scary place for someone not familiar with interacting with a computer through text-only. We are so used to using GUIs to point and click our way through tasks. In this series we&#39;ll walk through some of the most common command line tasks to help you understand what is going on and be able to do some cool tricks yourself.</p> <p>This is the first video in a series that shows basic command line usage for *nix systems, such as Linux, Mac OS X, and on Windows, using applications like <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</a>. This video shows the following commands and spends the most time explaining how to move around your file structure from the command line:</p> <ul> <li>pwd</li> <li>ls (and ls -al)</li> <li>less</li> <li>cd</li> <li>man</li> <li>clear</li> </ul> <p>Note: this video was originally released August 31, 2009 on <a href="https://ww.lullabot.com">Lullabot.com</a>.</p> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/CCoWTGLVobXGT8YxgSNI88qvRgNMEk3RwXs-0NhVebE.jpg.jpg8092011-04-29no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/copy-move-delete-command-line2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Copy, Move, Delete on Command LineThe second video in the command line basics series, this one covers common commands for dealing with files; copying, moving and deleting them. We walk through examples for the following commands: cp, mv, and rm. Just a a fair warning that I say the word "stuff" way too many times in this video. Please just bear with it.

It covers the following commands: <!--break--> <ul> <li>chmod</li> <li>chown</li> <li>chgrp</li> <li>sudo</li> </ul> Note: this video was originally released September 16, 2009 on <a href="http://ww.lullabot.com">Lullabot.com</a>. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/IijlOnTLeZiqy6XrI8qlflpSqT3c26yO8CAeqOlg7l8.jpg.jpg9582011-05-09no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/using-zip-and-tar-command-line2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Using Zip and Tar on Command LineThis command line video covers the three most common commands for compressing and archiving files, including how to get them back out again. Most commonly you first hit the need for these when you download a file and need to get it uncompressed. We'll cover the following commands: <ul> <li>zip</li> <li>unzip</li> <li>gzip</li> <li>gunzip</li> <li>tar</li> </ul> Note: this video was originally released October 28, 2009 on <a href="http://ww.lullabot.com">Lullabot.com</a>. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/SjzlgeRFgwFrCXL6IoCLcukMmCagpdxJWGaKIfXObHs.jpg.jpg6312011-05-12no https://drupalize.me/tutorial/creating-symbolic-links-command-line2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Creating Symbolic Links on Command LineThis video shows how to use the magical symbolic link, or symlink. These are basically a handy *nix way to create shortcuts. They come in particularly handy if you want to organize code for your websites outside of the web server's document root and that is the example we use here.

We&#39;ll also look at how you can quickly and securely copy files from a remote server using the SCP command (secure copy). These are both invaluable tools when working with servers that you don&#39;t have physical access to.

This is one of the most used commands, especially if you are working with a lot of text (like code, for instance). Grep will let you search through files to find strings and it's great for tracking down where something is coming from. Grep is a very powerful tool with lots of options, but you'll see you can do a lot even with just the basics. We cover the basic command with a file, how to use it through directories, and then we use a few of the most popular options: <code> -r Recurse -n Line Number -l List -v Reverse -i Ignore Case </code> Note: this video was originally released June 22, 2010 on <a href="http://ww.lullabot.com">Lullabot.com</a>. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/ouxRVC8TqvNxmya-HgaH88NsWUxQenADiaTbwef1JFQ.jpg.jpg8662011-05-31no https://drupalize.me/2018_11_campcoupon2019-01-17T14:42Znever https://drupalize.me/tutorial/introduction-vivim-editor2023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Introduction to Vi/vim EditorThis video introduces you to the Vi (and Vim) editor. Vi is the most common text editor that you will have available to you on *nix systems so it pays to at least learn the basics in case you end up somewhere where that is all you have to use. Vim is also actually a very serviceable editor which many people (mostly hardcore geeks) use as their day to day editor. We'll talk briefly about Vi versus Vim, then open a file, move around, and close the the file. Our next video will dive more into editing files with Vi. Note: There are a lot of editors out there on various systems, notably emacs, nano, and pico. Vi is considered the lowest common denominator (i.e. it is the most commonly available one), which is why it is the one being covered in the command line basics series. It is also the editor that I use personally, so is the one I am most familiar with. Please limit editor war discussions to other threads on the internet that are meant for them.

See how simple it is to perform a previously difficult task that required complex browser specific code to preform reliably and was prone to simple mistakes. Implement basic AJAX requests using jQuery&#39;s built in methods which make it extremely simple to send an asynchronous request to a server, gather the returned data, and insert it into the page.</p> Example code: <pre><code class="language-javascript"> // AJAX Live Function $('.content p').live('mouseenter mouseleave', function() { $(this).toggleClass('hilight'); } ); // AJAX Example $('.node_read_more a').click(function() { var url = $(this).attr('href'); var link = this; $.ajax({ url: url, success: function(data) { var $fullContent = $('#content-output .content', data); var html = $fullContent.html(); $(link).closest('div.node').find('div.content').html(html); $(link).hide(); } }); return false; }); </code></pre> http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/5DCNSkeqG7tiIh7hr9x6K5SLHVj_LwK2itnnLVee2D0.jpg.jpg18662010-03-31no https://drupalize.me/workshops/migrate2024-02-22T20:40Znever https://drupalize.me/tutorial/jquery-overview2025-05-16T21:43Zyearly0.9jQuery OverviewProvides a high-level overview of jQuery to people who are brand new to this JavaScript library. http://drupalize.me/sites/default/files/sproutvideo_thumbnails/Kzp75YtqdhStU3rlwG18QtklgQ3jmGyebInGQtySOGI.jpg.jpg6932010-05-27no https://drupalize.me/workshops/web-services2020-09-08T21:04Znever https://drupalize.me/tutorial/introduction-jquery-02023-06-15T20:19Znever0.9Introduction to jQueryIn its short history, jQuery has revolutionized front-end web development, making it faster, easier, and more rewarding to write JavaScript &ndash; allowing easier selection and manipulation of HTML elements, and ensuring that scripts work across the ever increasing landscape of browsers and operating systems. Nate Haug and Jeff Robbins show many hands-on examples demonstrating how to use jQuery&#39;s simple syntax to choose and manipulate HTML elements, traverse the document object model (DOM), and to attach event handlers which can react to user interaction with the page. In this video, Jeff and Nate introduce themselves and the agenda for this series, including Selectors, Effects, and AJAX.
