Angles | Drupal.org

Fri, 09/12/2014 - 05:44 -- rprice

An API module that allows you to define blocks as Angular JS controllers. You define which JS and HTML views to load in a hook in your own module and the information is loaded when that block is requested (you must go to the blocks page and create the Angles block.) Note for developers: You'll want to set angles_cache_blocks to 0 (drupal variable) to turn off the built in view html caching. This module currently requires Context to define the app name. You can bypass this by defining the app name manually in one of the page level templates if you so choose.

Features Tools | Drupal.org

Mon, 09/08/2014 - 14:08 -- rprice

The main goal of this tool is to give the ability to remove elements from a feature and put them back to the DB. It adds a "Safe Create Feature" button to the recreate feature form, which detects the element that has been removed from the feature and saves them in an unlink file. In order to save the elements to the DB you need to go to the admin/build/features/unlink page, check the element you need to import and submit.

Replicate | Drupal.org

Mon, 09/08/2014 - 14:07 -- rprice

Replicate provides a main cloning function, along with several hooks to control exactly how a field is duplicated based on its type, add info after cloning, and supports custom fields and entities. It is intended to developers and does not contain any GUI (for the moment anyway). The goal is to provide a way to easily clone any entity, and to allow developers to be able to control exactly how entities are replicated, based on their type or the fields they contain, and to be able to easily extend the replication control to custom fields or entities.

Try to exploit Two Factor Authentication module (and maybe earn $) before we deploy TFA to drupal.org | Drupal Groups

Thu, 09/04/2014 - 14:16 -- rprice

Drupal.org hopes to deploy two-factor-authentication to enhance the security of the site. This tool will help to ensure that accounts with advanced permissions are only used by the intended individual. The Two Factor Authentication module for Drupal tfa was originally built by Growing Venture Solutions, has been dramatically enhanced to work for Acquia, and is being made “drupal.org-ready” with support from CARD.com.

Type Rendering Mix

Thu, 09/04/2014 - 12:14 -- rprice

Using Type Rendering Mix you can instead decrease the font weight for browsers that use Core Text to render text. By only applying changes when Core Text is used you will achieve a more consistent rendering while preserving the accuracy of sub-pixel antialiasing. .tr-coretext { font-weight: 100; } Another use case for Type Rendering Mix is to disable web fonts when no antialiasing is applied. In the following example we fall back on “Verdana”, one of the core web fonts that is known to render well when antialiasing is disabled.

Drupal.com refresh launched | Dries Buytaert

Tue, 08/19/2014 - 10:53 -- rprice

The new Drupal.com has become richer in its content; you'll find a bit more information about Drupal to help people understand what Drupal is all about and how to get started with Drupal. On a desktop, on a tablet, on a phone, the site has become much easier to navigate and read. I believe the new Drupal.com is a much better, more relevant showcase for Drupal. The goal is to update the site more regularly and to keep adding to it. My next step is to add more use cases and to include short demo videos of both the Drupal backend as well as the showcases.

The Drupal 8 version of EntityFieldQuery

Tue, 07/08/2014 - 09:08 -- rprice

In this query, we retrieve the node ids of all the published nodes that have been last updated before the current time, that have the word cat inside their title and that have a taxonomy term called cats as a reference in the field_tags. As you can see, there is no more distinction between propertyCondition and fieldCondition (as there is in D7 with EntityFieldQuery). Additionally, we can include conditions based on referenced entities tacking on the entity.(column) to the entity reference field name.
