Recording of a webinar presented March 6, 2024.

Description:

Drupal core comes with rudimentary email capabilities out of the box. It's only able to send plain text emails and only for a small set of account and maintenance-related operations.

There a many ways to improve and expand Drupal's email capabilities, but most of them require a sophisticated understanding of the technical details of how emails are formatted and the ability to write HTML, Twig, or PHP code. This puts the ability to create or edit email templates out of reach for most website content editors, who have to rely on a developer to make changes to email templates and triggers.

In this webinar, you'll learn how the Easy Email module (https://www.drupal.org/project/easy_email) makes creating and sending HTML-formatted emails from Drupal so simple that anyone can do it.

One of Drupals greatest strengths is the ability to integrate with other services. There are modules for the most popular services, but what if you need to integrate with a new or niche service?

ECA and Views

This model shows the difference between the Views: Execute Query action and the Render: Views action. The first one always returns a list of entities and the second one returns the rendered result.

ECA am http services - part 2

This model is a follow-up version of ECA and http services and uses a self-defined services API for the HTTP Client Manager.

This module requires the services API defined in a Custom Module. Please download, copy to your Drupal site and enable it before importing this model.

ECA am http services

This model has 2 parts:

In a follow-up model, we will then show how the ECA endpoint can be made available to the HTTP Client Manager, so that one Drupal site could be offering an API endpoint controlled by ECA, and another Drupal site then requested data from that API.

Working with dates and time

This model works with a date and time value from a node field and does various things to it: outputting in different formats, adding some time range, changing timezone, etc.

Especially the timezone feature requires a patch to the tamper module.

Create user entity from JSON

This model demonstrates how to create a content entity with data from a JSON string. It also shows why creating a user entity "the classic way" doesn't work.

Add role to inserted or updated user

This model demonstrates how to add a role to an inserted or updated user entity. There are actually 3 potential ways of doing this, only 1 of them being recommended. This session shows the issues you can run into when choosing one of the other options, and it may become transparent, why the third option is the best of the available ones.

Access to form fields with tokens

This model demonstrates how to access form field values during validation or submission, how to find out the proper token syntax for each form field type, and also an alternative approach by building a temporary entity from form field values to use the more transparent entity token syntax.
