Welcome to our growing knowledge base.
PHP provides the function token_get_all() for working with PHP source code, however it is too low level and requires a lot of work to extract information about the source code. In this article, it shows why token_get_all() is inadequate and introduces a higher level approach using Pharborist to working with source code.
I recently spoke at the Drupal Melbourne meetup about running Puppet and Docker to improve isolation when running multiple sites on the one host. It's alot of work to get setup properly for a remote speaker so I would like to thank the organisers for allowing me to present.
In Drupal we use object-oriented page and form callbacks to ease our programmning burden This is a nice improvement that allows us to encapsulate the functionality of one or many page callbacks into objects, with all the benefits that brings. Is it possible for us to us object-oriented page callbacks in Drupal 7? With a few tricks, yes it is. This article shows you how.
This is part of a continuing series of using Drupal 8 programming techniques in Drupal 7.
Drupal 8 embraces modern PHP with all the trimmings, shedding the baggage of supporting earlier PHP versions and embracing the new object-oriented features.
One such feature is namespaced objects and the PSR-0 standard for autoloader compatability.
But if you know your project will run on a recent version of PHP, there's no reason you can't write your custom modules using PSR-0 now, in Drupal 7
PreviousNext is excited to welcome long time member of the Drupal community, Donna Benjamin, to its permanent team as Director of Community Engagement.
Implementing iframe elements can be troublesome for both content editors and developers, that's even before trying to make them responsive. After some recent project work I'm here to tell you there is an easy way to handle them.
Friday February 14th is the DrupalSouth Code Sprint, and PreviousNext are descending en masse to Wellington, New Zealand, to participate.
As a team we've been discussing what we'd like to sprint on. We've collectively agreed that the sprint would be an opportune time to work on porting some of our favourite contrib modules to Drupal 8.
Read on to find out our plans and how you can get involved.
It’s that time of year when the Drupal community gets together for their big regional conference from Feb 14-16 in Wellington NZ.
User Experience is a much misunderstood discipline. For a start, in software and web development, we generally think of it as a design task, for design wonks, or some kind of process prior to real development where we determine some user needs or requirements. In particular, within web development, user experience is treated either as a step in a process, or a specialised skill, but almost never as a holistic development vision.
