Update: Re-published for DrupalSouth 2018 edition
The PreviousNext team are sponsoring and helping to run the sprint day on Wednesday, December 5th 2018, and there are a few things you can do now to hit the ground running on the day.
As part of the session I presented in Drupal Europe, REST Ready: Auditing established Drupal 8 websites for use as a content hub, I presented a module called “Entity Access Audit”.
In this blog post, we'll have a look at how contributed Drupal modules can remove the core deprecation warnings and be compatible with both Drupal 8 and Drupal 9.
Drupal 8.6 has shipped with the Media Library! It’s just one part of the latest round of improvements from the Media Initiative, but what a great improvement! Being brand new it’s still in the “experimental” module state but we’ve set it up on this website to test it out and are feeling pretty comfortable with its stability.
Last week I had the privilege of attending and speaking at my first UX Australia conference. This year it was held at the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne.
UX Australia is the largest conferences in Australia for our industry — there were 850 of us running around apparently — so it was only appropriate for the keynote speakers to be industry heavy-hitters.
With big names like Steve Portigal (California), Lauren Currie (NOBL Collective) and Alan Cooper (The "Father of Visual Basic") floating around, the bar was set very high and it did not disappoint.
Allow sitebuilders to easily add classes onto field elements with the new element_class_formatter module.
There is not a lot of documentation available about what's the difference between running a browser in WebDriver mode vs Headless so I did some digging...
Malicious users can intercept or monitor plaintext data transmitting across unencrypted networks, jeopardising the confidentiality of sensitive data in Drupal applications. This tutorial will show you how to mitigate this type of attack by encrypting your database queries in transit.
In a previous article Using ES6 in your Drupal Components, we discussed writing our javascript using the modern ES6 methods and transpiling down for older browsers. It still used jQuery as an interim step to make the process of refactoring existing components a little easier. But let's go all the way now and pull out jQuery, leaving only modern, vanilla javascript.
Automated accessibility tools are only one part of ensuring a website is accessible, but it is a very simple part that can catch a lot of really easy to fix issues. Issues that when found and corrected early in the development cycle, can go a long way to ensuring they don’t get compounded into much larger issues down the track.
