Playing around with Drupal 8 together with Graph API and Graph I generated this UML through admin/config/system/graphapi/uml/Drupal\views\Plugin\Core\Entity\View ... it has some rough edges still.

Langcodes and plural forms

Submitted by clemens on Sat, 2012/05/26 - 4:25pm

We all know Drupal and Symfony do have multilingual support (i18n, l10n, pluralization). But do they match? Or do they equally well? How does one test this? This is what I did.

A pinch of Symfony for D8MI?

One of the goals of Drupal 8 Multilingual Inititive is to refactor Gettext file handling by a component. The first effort was Make gettext .po generation its own abstracted functionality by Gábor Hojtsy, Sutharsan, fubhy, sun and clemens.tolboom While I (clemens.tolboom) was working on that issue I skimmed over the Translation component delivered by Symfony to see whether we could match their architecture (why reinvent components?) or even take over their components.

drush --yaml entity-type-read node --fields=**/display/**/weight --include-fieldapi
drush entity-update node 12 --json

Submitted by clemens on Fri, 2011/10/14 - 11:48am

Yesterday I ordered The definitive Guide to Drupal from the dutch online site comcol.nl. Awesome delivery. I have to read the monster 1047 pages but decided to cut it two pieces as that split version is allowed on my desk.
