Welcome to our growing knowledge base.
At PreviousNext we rely heavily on vagrant for development environments and phing for performing automated tasks to speed up site building and project development. These tools are hugely beneficial in the long run. In this blog we'll have a look at how we as drupal core developers can automate the tedious tasks like site install/ re-install, testing, coding standards validation and enable modules.
We often get asked by clients about the differences between using Sharepoint and Drupal as a Content Management System (CMS) for Australian Government websites. This short post covers our most common answers.
Although Drupal 8 has had a Conditions Plugin API for a several months, it wasn't until during DrupalCon Austin sprint we managed to get blocks to use the Conditions Plugin API for block visibility.
The great thing about Condition Plugins, is they are re-usable chunks of code, and many contrib projects will be able to take advantage of them (Page Manager, Panels, Rules anyone?)
In this post, I show how you can create an example Page Message module that uses a RequestPath condition plugin to show a message on a configured page.
Join one of the world's leading Drupal front end development experts, John Albin Wilkins, on his first multi-city speaking tour of Australia.
Join us for the second annual DrupalGov conference in Canberra to see why Drupal is now the preferred CMS for government.
Get started with some quick and easy ways to improve the content editor experience, using contributed modules.
Continuous integration platforms are a vital component of any development shop. We rely on it heavily to keep projects at the quality they deserve. Being early adopters of Docker (0.7.6) for our QA and Staging platform we thought it was time to take our CI environment to the next level!
PreviousNext have been using Behat to test Drupal 7 sites for some time now. More recently, there has been a big push to introduce Behat tests in Drupal 8. So what is it all about?
In this post, I'll be taking a look at the Mink layer behind Behat and using it for web scraping and functional testing and what this means for the future of Drupal testing.
When working with the Search API Drupal module, sometimes we need to programmatically add information that is not available for indexing as a field. Lucky we can write our own custom pre-processor to provide this information to the index.
