Drupal uses plugins for a lot of different scenarios. Blocks, field types, menu items, breakpoints, and migrations are all examples of plugins. There are a couple of different types of plugins. Before you can create a new plugin of any type, you'll need to figure out where the plugin implementation and its metadata should live in the code base, so that the plugin manager can find plugins, and examine what functionality instances of the plugin type are expected to provide.
In this tutorial we'll:
- Demonstrate how to figure out what type of plugin you're dealing with.
- Point to additional resources showing how to implement the specific plugin type once it has been determined.
By the end of this tutorial you should have a better understanding of how to figure out the details required to implement any given plugin type.
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
