This year, I have the honor of being one of the featured speakers at Florida DrupalCamp (February 23 to 25, 2024.) I will be speaking about the opportunity of open source.
I use GitHub to host my repositories, such as this website. To keep my dependencies up-to-date, I leverage Dependabot. The product has matured a lot over the past few years.
I'm excited to announce a new feature coming to phpstan-drupal that already exists for PHPStan. PHPStan has an online playground to run and test analysis results. Soon, we will have one for phpstan-drupal!
The Drupal Association has been working on a monumental effort to migrate away from our bespoke DrupalCI continuous integration system to GitLab CI as part of the GitLab Acceleration Initiative.
Retrofit for Drupal now has documentation to explain what Drupal 7 hooks and APIs are supported. Retrofit for Drupal provides backward compatibility layers to run legacy Drupal 7 code in your sites using Drupal 10 and beyond.
One of the major problems observed in getting contributed modules Drupal 10 compatible was maintaining support for Drupal 9.5, which remains in security support (or remained if it is now past November 1, 2023.) Contributed modules should be compatible with all security-supported versions of Drupal core or more if they so choose.
I just finished reading Modernizing Drupal 10 Theme Development published by Packt Publishing by Luca Lusso. Don't let the title make you think it is about theme development.
Last week, I drove up to Minneapolis and attended Twin Cities DrupalCamp. I have only made it to the conference once before, way back in 2016, to present about the beginnings of Drupal Commerce 2.x.
I finally took a look at writing a custom live template with PhpStorm. I've used them several times to automate scaffolding a foreach statement or other random suggestions that a Tab keypress leads to automated scaffolded code. But I never really dove in to see how they work or could be customized.
In Drupal, with themes, you can override default template output by copying, pasting, and customizing those templates. It works, but how? I thought I always knew how this worked. But I realized I didn't when I dove into supporting Drupal 7 themes with Retrofit.
