  • Drupal & Virtual Reality

  • A plan for Drupal and Composer https://dri.es/a-plan-for-drupal-and-composer

    “The first phase of the proposal is focused on a series of changes in the main Drupal core repository. The directory structure will remain the same, but it will include scripts, plugins, and embedded packages that enable the bundled Drupal product to be built from the core repository using Composer. This provides users who download Drupal from Drupal.org a clear path to manage their Drupal codebase with Composer if they choose.”

    “Automatic Updates Initiative. We are exploring if an automated update system can be build on top of the Composer Initiative's work, and provide an abstraction layer for those that don't want to use Composer directly. I believe that could be truly game-changing for Drupal, as it would remove a great deal of complexity.”

    Recorded Dec 18, 2017

    It’s been a while, but thanks to Jim Birch, we are back in action and with this our final episode of 2017, we will do the obligatory year in review and a look forward to 2018. We cover some Drupal News, since a lot had happened in the last two months since our last episode. Bob takes on the Pro Project Pick and keeping in the holiday spirit, Ryan takes us out with the Final (Jingle) Bell. On a side note, in this episode I do state that this episode will be out before Christmas, and Mario didn’t believe me. It turns out, he was right.

Instead of using hook_migrate_api(), they are listed in yaml files and implemented as configuration for the module in module_root/config/install/*.yml.

No less than a fully optimized web presence built to respond to any device is required to get ahead of today’s fierce, strategic competition. Cisco estimates that 50 billion smart devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020 – that’s three times the 15 billion devices that are connected today!
