Every introduction to coding starts with a "Hello, World!" example, right? With Drupal, it's a bit more complex than just echo "Hello, World!". To follow Drupal best practices, we should provide content from our custom code in a way that allows a site administrator to choose where and when it's shown, instead of hard-coding those decisions. This keeps our Drupal application flexible and customizable.
In this tutorial, we'll:
- Author a custom block plugin that outputs the string "Hello, World!".
- Place the block on the home page of our site.
By the end of this tutorial, you should have written the code for a custom block that can display the string "Hello, World!".
Over the years we've developed some techniques for practicing that we wanted to share. At Drupalize.Me we take hugging seriously. In this tutorial we'll look at the art, and science, of giving a good hug. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines the word hug as; squeeze (someone) tightly in one's arms, typically to express affection.
Did you know there are all kinds of different hugs that you can give? In this tutorial we'll look at:
- Defining what a hug is
- Some of the many types of hugs in the world today
- Precautions you may want to familiarize yourself with before hugging
- And the importance of proper technique
Lets go ahead and get started shall we?
