Drupal core security release window on Wednesday, December 17 | Drupal Groups

Mon, 12/15/2014 - 12:09 -- rprice

This does not mean that a Drupal core security release will necessarily take place on that date for either the Drupal 6 or Drupal 7 branches, only that you should prepare to look out for one (and be ready to update your Drupal sites in the event that the Drupal security team decides to make a release). There will be no bug fix release on this date; the next window for a Drupal core bug fix release is Wednesday, January 7.

Drupal core updates for December 3, 2014 | Drupal Groups

Mon, 12/15/2014 - 12:08 -- rprice

@alexpott premiered Config installer an install profile that takes over the Drupal installer and allows sites to be created from existing configuration. This opens the door for some interesting possibilities moving forward. We upgraded Drupal core to use Symfony 2.6 stable. Symfony 2.6 includes over 100 new features and enhancements. For full details see the release announcement. Following on from SA-CORE-2006 we removed mixed SSL support from core, focusing on security by default. We updated CKEditor library to 4.4.6, which included an important security fix.

Publishing Drupal 7 Content to Social Media: Part 2

Mon, 12/15/2014 - 12:04 -- rprice

The main event should occur when saving a new piece of content. You will then create at least 3 actions. This first will be to create a new Facebook publication entity. The second populates the entity with some value from your content type (like a link or text summary). The last publishes it. You can see below for my settings, although for a more in depth look I suggest you look at this video which walks through everything in more detail.

Test Now! - Travis Integration for your Drupal Modules | Drupal Watchdog

Mon, 12/15/2014 - 12:02 -- rprice

Drupal 8 ready: drupal_ti supports both Drupal 7 and 8 modules. Use DRUPAL_TI_ENVIRONMENT="drupal-8" for your Drupal 8 modules. Tested: drupal_ti tests its own code base for both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 modules. Modular architecture: drupal_ti has so called 'runners' and you can combine either e.g. "phpunit simpletest" or run them as separate workers by specifying a matrix. Environment aware: drupal_ti has a file for each environment, which makes the code generic for both Drupal 7 and 8.

Milestone reached regarding Search API for Drupal 8 | Visitors voice | Visitors Voice

Mon, 12/15/2014 - 12:00 -- rprice

This problem was caused by the initial decision of limiting each search index to a single entity (or other) type – since normal searches are always executed on a single index, a search across multiple types cannot be created this way. While other, maybe better-working workarounds in Drupal 7 would be possible, this is solved completely in Drupal 8 where this restriction doesn’t exist anymore.

Follow up on Drupal SA-2014-005, SQL Injection | Drupal.org

Mon, 12/15/2014 - 07:39 -- rprice

the PSA also resulted in a large volume of press coverage – in fact much more coverage than the original disclosure of the vulnerability on October 15th. Not surprisingly, the general tone of the press coverage was quite negative. Unfortunately, some of the coverage was also inaccurate which we’d like to address here as well as provide additional context regarding our security processes. While we don’t know the total number of Drupal sites affected, the number is not near 12 million as stated in several publications.

Stop the console project: doubles the contrib workload [#2391219] | Drupal.org

Fri, 12/12/2014 - 09:41 -- rprice

This project not merely creates confusion for users who won't know whether to use drush or console but it'll double the workload for contrib authors who you are now forcing to integrate with both. Core deliberate has removed extensibility for the sake of contrib maintainers not going nuts.
