Coding style?

Building software is a complex and sometimes tedious process in which you make errors and mistakes. Testing for errors is mostly done by running your website / code through tests either manually or automatically.

Checking for your code style like formatting and documentation flaws you can use a code sniffer. For PHP you can run phpcs using PHP_CodeSniffer.

Drupal core provides core/phpcs.xml.dist to tell phpcs what to test for.

# Sync database

What are the values for drush rsync in %notation?


drush @site.prd php-eval "return _core_path_aliases()"
array(
'%root' => '/home/my-site',
'%site' => 'sites/default',
'%modules' => 'sites/all/modules',
'%themes' => 'sites/all/themes',
'%files' => 'sites/default/files',
'%private' => 'sites/default/files/private',
'%temp' => '/tmp',
)


Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) allows web browser to validate and web server to provide a way to consume and provide cross-site content and access controls.

To make Drupal 8 respond to remote calls you should wait for the core issue https://www.drupal.org/node/1869548 which is postponed until Drupal 8.1.x or wait for the D8 version of https://www.drupal.org/project/cors

Having a forum you needs quick deletions of improper comments.

In Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 you have to visit admin/content/comments to do so. But then you loose the thread.

You could review and use this patch or add this to your custom module. The first needs review and testing. The later needs a Drupal coder.

Visualization some complex part of Drupal is helping understand Drupal better. This is about the menu tree using Graph Viz for a static SVG diagram and D3JS for a dynamic version.

One of the Drupal 8 initiatives was to make "headless" Drupal core work out of the box. Drupal now has a ReST API.

This allows you to use all the Drupal 8 features to edit your content but present the content not only on a Drupal frontend but also on mobile apps or anything else that can work with JSON data.

For the mentoring sprint on friday @ https://amsterdam2014.drupal.org we'd like to use the dreditor tool plus one of its new pull request feature. To install this just visit https://dreditor.org/development/build and pick your browser icon from #93 Add support for stock responses (macro/templates). When it states 'Rebase needed' just ping ClemensTolboom @ irc as dreditor is still evolving.

Looking for a HTML range field in Drupal 8 core I did not found one. First I tried to alter Number Widget but that was wrong. Just extend a suitable widget. The code is very short. But the display is not as good as one needs. Where is the min and max value? And the current value? The specs @ w3c html5 forms input range has some user agent rendering which does not give min, max or current value hints.

number field.

Experimenting with the index file of https://github.com/clemens-tolboom/uml-generator-php lead to a nice animation.
