Native PHPStorm Drupal Test Runner
PHPStorm has a lot of built in test runners, but it doesn't support Drupal's Simpletest test runner. In this blog post we'll see how we can execute Drupal tests inside PHPStorm using Drupal test runner.

Whilst working on a Drupal 8 project, we found that cache tags for a Block Content entity embedded in the footer weren't bubbling up to the page cache.
Read on to find out how we debugged this and how you can ensure this doesn't happen to you too.
typey has just turned 1.0, so I thought it would be a great time to show off some of its features.
Recently, I have been working on a site with a big multi-step form that is using a lot of custom form elements, custom auto-completes, custom form api states and ajax based sub-forms. It is all built using Drupal form api. The best thing about this form is that all the fields and sub-forms map to a data model.
A requirement that comes up from time to time is being able to use content stored in Drupal and produce rich HTML emails. In a lot of cases the design of these emails matches the design of the existing, already implemented front-end website.
In a recent project, we explored ways of creating HTML email’s which wouldn’t require us to start from scratch and would also evolve as the website’s look and feel did. Our design goals were thus:
One of the aspects of the new object oriented architecture in Drupal 8 is the introduction of services. Services can be provided by any module and provide a mechanism for exposing reusable functionality by way of interfaces and classes. All services are instantiated via the container which is responsible for injecting a service’s dependencies.
Since services implement interfaces and are always instantiated via the container, we have the opportunity to alter what the container returns, ultimately allowing us to swap any existing service with a new one.

Macquarie Telecom provide PCI DSS and ISO 27001 compliant infrastructure, as well as Secure Internet Gateway (SIG), firewalls, logging and monitoring which meet all government compliance standards.
Generally speaking hiding content goes alongside a bit of javascript that unhides the content under certain circumstances (think hamburger menu). Sometimes the content improves accessibility but is considered visual noise (says the designer). So as the developer you have a lot of ways to approach this.
For many agencies, and large organisations that have tens or hundreds of Drupal sites, it can be difficult to keep tabs on which sites have what modules installed and whether they are up to date or not. Manually crawling through each site can be time consuming and error prone.
In this post, I describe a solution that allows you to keep a dashboard of site status information that you can query to find out precisely what is going on on each of your sites.
