blockquotepYou can either get on the Drupal 8 bus now, or get run over by it later./p/blockquote pIt's true. Drupal 8 is coming, and it will be big. Not just lines of code (that too), but big in the sense that Drupal 8 changes more of Drupal than any major release in the last 10 years. The adoption of so many 3rd party components (from Symfony and otherwise) is only part of that picture. That offers challenges for many, but also enormous opportunity. Drupal 8 will allow Drupal to expand into new types of application and new markets, which is a great thing for those who make their living off of Drupal. But where do you get started with learning about Drupal 8?/p pAt a href=http://portland2013.drupal.org/DrupalCon Portland/a, that's where!/p pThere are many sessions slated for Portland at both DrupalCon and at a href=//portland2013.live.symfony.com/Symfony Live/a that deal with Drupal 8, either directly or indirectly. Below is my recommended hitlist for Portland for those wanting to get the lowdown on Drupal 8./p pWhat, you're not already signed up? There's still time! Go register for either a href=http://portland2013.drupal.org/registerDrupalCon/a or a href=http://portland2013.live.symfony.com/registration/Symfony Live/a, and be sure to get a Combo Ticket so that you are able to attend both conferences as well as Web Visions!

Welcome to the very first Audioblog sponsored by Modules Unraveled. This is Brian Lewis, and if you're listening to this, it probably means that you prefer to digest your content audibly, rather than reading long blog posts. Well, I'm the same way, and I kept coming across blog posts that I wouldn't normally read, but something about them would catch my eye, and I'd dive in. Almost without fail, I'd come away glad I did decide to read the post. The problem is, I don't have time to read everything that I think looks interesting.

They had worked on 2-4 issues before. They wanted to test a patch in dealing with a Drupal 8 multilingual issue. Sure, testing d8mi issues is a bit more tricky than regular core issues. Because a module usually needs to be enabled first, like Language or Content translation. But I think the lessons learned from this experience apply to any core issue./p h3Steps to reproduce in a comment are nice. Putting them in the issue summary is even better./h3 pThis a href=http://drupal.org/node/1920876issue/a had Steps to reproduce in comment 3 out of 25, which is really great. Some issues do not have any steps to reproduce. Even though this issue had Steps to reproduce, I saw these two contributors spend 15 minutes wondering how to get to the settings page that needed testing. And then they wondered how to get the translation bits to show there. Once I pointed out the comment that had the steps, they were on their way. One did the testing... and the other updated the issue summary and put the Steps to reproduce right there bin the issue summary/b. They wanted to make sure that the next person to come across the issue had an easier time testing than they did./p /div

This blog post is dedicated to answering the questions that were asked during the webinar; unfortunately I couldn't get to all the questions but please feel free to leave any more in the comments and perhaps there will be a Part 2 of this Qamp;A./ph3Q1: What type of applications would you recommend to develop using these technologies together?/h3pApplications like the one I’ve shown in the demo are the perfect example. And for good reason, I have shown a reader app, not because I want to promote Kobo, but to demonstrate the effectiveness of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (which is what Sproutcore is about) in creating a web-app. A reader app ties in with the concept of Hybrid Model perfectly. The Kobo server not only serves data for this HTML5 Reader app but for their native iOS, and Android app, which follows our model – the server-side is separated from the client-side./ppFacebook apps are good candidates to use these technologies. Facebook gives you a Canvas to work with, which essentially loads your website into an iframe, however, performance is not that great when working with traditional-style websites. For every page request, Facebook has to load the webpage first, and then show it to the user. Facebook is acting as a middle-man. So if you can eliminate the need for Facebook to fetch pages then your app will perform so much better./ppIn a nutshell, if you foresee that your application is going to have a content repository with workflows and needs to be highly interactive then a JavaScript HTML5 UI coupled with Drupal is best choice./ph3Q2: How could we introduce and streamline this hybrid model into a development environment?/h3pAs mentioned before the Hybrid Model demands a deeper consideration in deciding on how to separate business logics or requirements for client-side and server-side. It‘s architecture that is not too well adopted for websites, but for web applications it’s second nature. To start off, Business Analyst will need to gather as many requirements as possible so that the Solution Architect or Lead Developer can draw the line between what business requirements can be accomplished on client-side and what on server-side. Once that is established, we should focus our attention to designing the JSON REST API. Front-end and Back-end developers must agree upon the API before any work can begin. In this case, both front-end and back-end can work in parallel./ph3Q3: What do we do with the themes and templates on Drupal and is the UI going to be on the same server or somewhere else?/h3pSince external users are not interacting with Drupal directly, we don’t need Drupal to do any themes and templates. Now our JavaScript HTML5 UI is external to Drupal, meaning it is not a Drupal theme. We may view the UI as a standalone app that talks to Drupal. So the UI doesn’t need to be living on the same server, in fact, performance-wise, the UI would ideally be hosted somewhere like on a CDN (Content Delivery Network). However, it can be on the same server with Drupal just not within the Drupal directory./ph3Q4: Can you please define assets briefly?/h3pIn our context, “assets” refer to anything that enriches the UI, or adds “life” to it. These are, but not limited to: images, video and audio files, Flash (SWF) objects, CSS, and JavaScripts./ph3Q5: This might get answered later on... but I thought one of the great strengths of Drupal was its theming! If Drupal becomes SaaS, where is the theming motor going to come from?/h3pI agree that one of the great strengths of Drupal, besides content managing, is the theming/template engine. When we drop that part from Drupal and attach our external UI crafted from the HTML5 and JavaScript, the template motor is coming from the JavaScript framework that we are using. I highly recommend using a strong framework such as Backbone.JS, Sproutcore, or Ext JS. For the theme, you may want to combine the templates with a CSS framework like Compass and/or Foundation 4./ph3Q6: It seems like thickening the client is a good choice for sites that are frequently used. What are some best practices for sites that may be visited infrequently and aren't likely to create app interest in users/viewers?/h3pAs you’ve termed it “thickening” the client is good for sites that are frequently used, but that’s not all. Websites that want to respond well to users, say, the user clicks a button or a menu pops up or the page would flip and content is already there, and with no wait time between the interactions, thickening the client is a reasonable thing to do./ppNow for sites that are infrequently visited, the best practices for deciding whether or not to go the web-app route:/polliIf your current websites are mainly displaying static content, don’t require a lot of user interaction and it’s fine to have users waiting for page load, then stick with traditional websites./liliBenchmark your website; find out what is your general audience. Some users have no problem with plain-old websites, but some users love fancy and quick-n-snappy UI in websites./liliIf you foresee or plan for your current website to have increased functionalities and it’s going to become like an application, this is the great opportunity to “thicken” the client./li/olpspan style=font-size: 1.231em; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.538em; /span/ppspan style=font-size: 1.231em; line-height: 1.538em;Q7: What happened to don't store state in the browser? Is this old-fashioned advice that's not needed anymore?/span/ppThe statement, “don’t store state” in the browser, is typically referring to the stateless model that the World Wide Web and the HTTP protocol is based upon. Because state is not preserved in the underlying protocol, it would make sense to not have the browser remember the state. Now that we are moving toward web-apps and HTML5 is meant to accelerate the process, stateless design is becoming outdated. If you look closely at the HTML5 features list, we have Local Storage, WebSQL, IndexedDB, and Application Cache, these essentially break the stateless design pattern. Now, let’s take a step back and look at how we implement a website before HTML5, we use cookies/sessions and URL to allow the browser to be state-full. In a sense, we’ve already broken the stateless design pattern. One thing to remember is that the HTTP protocol is always stateless, so we are always communicating in a stateless world. What we’ve done is altered how the app behaves but not the communication./ph3Q8: Drupal seems to be using Backbone.JS how does this compare with Sproutcore?/h3pIn a nutshell, Sproutcore and Backbone work in the same way. Sproutcore is heavily on the client-side MVC structure while Backbone is a bit more relaxed. Backbone is super light weight in comparison to Sproutcore. One reason that Sproutcore is more suited for web-app is the Statechart feature which only not organizes views but also drives the application. Statecharts can be seen as the Finite State Machine in Computer Science. Backbone.JS and Underscore.JS are being added to core because they need to provide the foundation for the inline editing feature in the coming release of Drupal 8, and because Drupal 8 is headed toward SaaS, Backbone.JS would really benefit Drupal./ph3Q9: Is there a recommended IDE for Sproutcore?/h3pAny IDE that can keep track of JavaScript functions and files is great. Sublime Text 2 is a good choice because you will run into cases where you must search through files to look for function names. I personally use Komodo just because I do PHP and JavaScript./ph3Q10: How much PHP programming is involved in your Hybrid Solution based on Drupal? Can you implement serverside business logic in JavaScript? Can Sproutcore be used server-side?/h3pPHP programming would be the same amount as it is when creating your own modules. It really depends on the business logics you planned to implement on the server. However, if all the business logics can be achieved with contributed modules, then no code writing is needed./ppImplementing server-side business logic in JavaScript is not a good idea because of security issues. Keep in mind that JavaScript is not safe; anyone can download the script and look at it. So it is not wise to implement server-side logic there. So in the Hybrid Model, I advised that the client-side only implement that logic which is closely related to display, for that reason./ppCan Sproutcore be used on server-side? No. Sproutcore is for the client, if you want server-side JS, use Node.JS instead./ph3Q11: How can you access the MySQL DB in Drupal? Do you need PHP to do so or can JavaScript on the server be used for this?/h3pDrupal database abstraction layer provides the API to read/write to the MySQL DB. Your JavaScript client will call to the JSON REST services Drupal provides to get data, and Drupal using the DB abstraction layer will handle getting data from the DB./ph3Q12: What is the preferred IDE for PHP/Drupal?/h3pI use Komodo personally./ph3Q13: Using the hybrid model, how does one configure the Drupal appearance / theme aspects? What are the ways in which I have to tailor Drupal so that it acts as a content repository and not a UI driver?/h3pIn the Hybrid Model, we have dropped the appearance/theme portion in Drupal for external users, meaning visitors will interact with the JavaScript HTML5 UI instead, and only administers would log into Drupal directly. Essentially, if you do a fresh install of Drupal it is already a content repository. The remaining piece is to provide a JSON REST API for the UI to connect to Drupal. Say, we have 'example.com/' pointing to your UI, and 'admin.example.com/' is your Drupal instance, you can create a landing page to allow Admin to login./ph3Q14: What type of app is good for HTML5 only?/h3pThis is a very open-ended question as any app can benefit from HTML5. There's not really an app that is only good for HTML5. So if your app utilized at least 2 or 3 HTML5 components then it is a good app for HTML5. Games, for example, use the Canvas component and WebGL (on Chrome) to render graphics. Reader applications, like Kobo, use Local Storage, Application Cache, History, and IndexedDB./ph3Q15: Do I have to develop the web-app from start to finish in Drupal to be able to use all of the Drupal features or can I just incorporate it into my existing website?/h3pHonestly, it is best to design the web-app from start to finish in Drupal and in JavaScript UI, because it’s much better to layout where client-side and server-side business logic would belong in the beginning. But you can start anywhere in between, all you have to do is build that JSON API and make sure that API hooks into all the Drupal features you need, so when the UI calls, everything is there./ph3Q16: Also, Is it a must to use PHP MVC or framework to be able to use it?/h3pNo, the Hybrid Model is really an architectural layout to structure your application. You don’t need to limit yourself to MVC frameworks on server-side and client-side. In fact, Drupal is not a MVC framework, it is still a PAC, and yet I recommend using Drupal for server-side./ph3Q17: If a web-app/website has some interactive content as well as some more static content, can Drupal serve up static pages while the client-side JS serves up dynamic content? (a hybrid-hybrid model?)/h3pYes. You can do that, as long as you have set aside which URL points to the web-app and Drupal, they can work simultaneously. For example, Drupal site only serves static node pages, and all your Views are outputting JSON instead. Calling those Views will split out JSON and not the actual page./ph3Q18: It looks like SproutCore uses Ruby and RubyGems somehow - can you please explain how that fits with JavaScript?/h3pSproutcore is JavaScript. Sproutcore uses Ruby and RubyGems to build and compile your JavaScripts into an app package./ph3Q19: How would you benefit from Drupal-HTML5-CSS3-JS vs.Node.JS-HTML5-CSS3-JS? i.e. What is the benefit of doing server side Drupal versus 100% JS using Node.JS?/h3pDrupal gives you the benefits of having a CMS, and Node.JS doesn’t. It only gives you the structure to build an application. The question is why build a CMS yourself when you already have it, and all you really need to do is add the JSON REST API component. There is no real benefit in the underlying technology, in terms of, mixture of PHP with JS and pure 100% JS. Even if you implement 100% JS on both sides, you still need to build REST component for the client and server to communicate./ppThanks for reading along; I hope this Qamp;A has proved helpful! /p/div/div/divdiv class=field field-name-field-blog-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-abovediv class=field-labelBlog Tags:nbsp;/divdiv class=field-itemsdiv class=field-item evena href=/content-tags/html5 typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelhtml5/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/content-tags/drupal-0 typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabeldrupal/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/content-tags/drupal-6 typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelDrupal 6/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/content-tags/drupal-7 typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelDrupal 7/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/content_tags/services typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelservices/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/content-tags/views typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelViews/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/content-tags/json typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabeljson/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/content_tags/rest_api typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelrest api/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/content-tags/rest typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelrest/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/content-tags/sproutcore typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelsproutcore/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/content_tags/backbonejs typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelbackbone.js/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/content-tags/architecture typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelarchitecture/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/content_tags/back_end typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelback-end/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/content_tags/front_end typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelfront-end/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/content-tags/development typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabeldevelopment/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/content_tags/maintenance typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelmaintenance/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/content_tags/cost typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelcost/a/div/div/divdiv class=field field-name-field-section field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-abovediv class=field-labelSection:nbsp;/divdiv class=field-itemsdiv class=field-item evena href=/section/cross-platform typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelCross-Platform/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/section/drupal typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelDrupal/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/section/html5 typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelHTML5/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/taxonomy/term/3 typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelMobile Applications/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/section/android typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelAndroid/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/section/blackberry typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelBlackBerry/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/section/ios typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabeliOS/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/section/ipad typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabeliPad/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/section/iphone typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabeliPhone/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/section/window-mobile typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelWindow Mobile/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/section/mobility-solutions typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelMobility Solutions/a/divdiv class=field-item odda href=/section/phonegap typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelPhoneGap/a/divdiv class=field-item evena href=/section/sproutcore typeof=skos:Concept property=rdfs:label skos:prefLabelSproutCore/a/div/div/div

When requirements get a bit more subtle and demanding, often a situation arises where the core Drupal menu functionality is not enough to handle the task at hand. We have identified some frequently encountered troublesome situations and in this post I will share the standard solutions we use to solve them. We all know how powerful Drupal is thanks to the community behind, the a href=/blog/drupal-building-and-contributing-modulecontributed modules/a and the hooks system. The rest of this article is just a proof of that statement./ph3Menu position/h3pIn almost every case where the project is something beyond a simple brochure site, there is a requirement that nodes of certain content types should appear in specific positions in the menu system. The simplest solution, which is adding all of that content individually under the specified menu items works well for small number of nodes. But imagine hundreds or thousands of blog posts added as menu items under the Blog item in the Main Menu. You will have both performance and usability issues. We need some other way to manipulate the active trail. To our rescue comes the a href=http://drupal.org/project/menu_positionmenu_position/a module which gives us the possibility to create rules that will dynamically add the current page into the menu system at the requested spots. Those rules could affect the main and secondary links of the theme, the breadcrumb trail, menu blocks provided by core's Menu module and also menu blocks provided by the a href=#menu_blockMenu Block/a module./ppimg alt=Drupal Menu position src=http://drupal.org/files/images/menu_position_0.png //ppBefore going into details about the Menu Block, I want to mention something noted at the Menu position's module page:br /Currently, the Menu position module provides content type, pages, taxonomy, vocabulary and language plug-ins that allows conditions to be added to rules. Additionally, this module also provides a simple API for rule conditions plug-ins so module developers can develop their own logic for adding dynamic menu positioning./ppAs with most Drupal things, there is also another way to achieve all of the above, and that is to use the Context module conditions and reactions. It is a bit more complex to set things up but it has the added benefit that your settings will be exportable in Features, which is always a good thing for larger projects./ph3 id=menu_blockMenu block/h3pimg alt=Drupal Menu Block src=http://drupal.org/files/images/menu-block-admin.png //ppWe all know how to use the Main and Secondary menu links feature in our a href=http://wearepropeople.comDrupal themes/a. But most probably at some point you have wondered “how do I display any menu items deeper than that? As the maintainer puts it, he was shocked of the fact that the Menu block module didn’t exist before he wrote it. What this module does is providing configurable blocks of menu trees starting with any level of any menu, and displaying the child menu items to a configurable depth. It is harder to explain what exactly the module does than actually trying it out so I encourage you to go ahead and enable it. We use it in almost any site where the navigation was planned to be truthfully user friendly from the beginning. After installing the module you can go to your blocks administration page and create a new Menu block. Use the Main menu for the source and configure it to show levels 2+. Create some menu items and place the block in one of the sidebars. Go ahead and play with the settings, it will become very natural in a few minutes. This module is simple, yet powerful tool!/ph3Menu path autocomplete/h3pThis module answers the search of our clients and site editors for a simplified ways to create menu items with correct links. Let’s face it - we are developers and most of us like to work with strings like node/42, but most of our users are not very happy with this paths./ppimg alt=Menu path autocomplete src=http://drupal.org/files/images/mpac.png //ppThe Menu path autocomplete (drush dl mpac) changes the text input field for menu path to an autocomplete field while you are adding a menu item. While entering characters into this field you will get a list of all matching node titles (and - if path is enabled - all matching URL aliases). Selecting one item will translate it to the correct internal link. Simple solution, bringing lots of value along./ph3Menu attributes/h3pYet another simple but empowering tool helping us bend Drupal menus to our will (and the needs of the front end department). Usually with complex designs and user interface functionalities there are requirements for certain menu items to have a specific id, some class or another, or any other html attributes. The Menu attributes allows us to add and change the following attributes for each individual menu item:/pulliid/liliname/lilitarget/lilirel/liliclass/lilistyle/liliaccesskey/li/ulh3Access to menu items/h3pThe next two situations I want to mention are those where access to menu items is concerned. It turns out that sometimes when we want to hide certain menu items or show others to our visitors, the Drupal roles and permissions system can’t handle the task easily./ppFrom the Menu item visibility module page: citeThis module exposes configurable and extendable visibility settings for menu links. For example, if you want to create a 'My account' link that points to /user, both anonymous and registered users have access to the /user path, so both will see the link, even if anonymous users do not technically have an account. Using this module will allow you to only have your 'My account' link visible to registered users, and hide it from anonymous users./cite You can see a screenshot of the a href=http://drupal.org/files/images/1309375059796.pngsettings page/a - the module uses the same User Interface which is used for block visibility settings - familiarity and ease of use for our editors./ph3Finally, some code for dessert/h3pSometimes we want to link a PDF or another file directly in one of our menu items. You can try to upload a file in your files directory, usually sites/default/files and try saving a menu item linking to that file. Validation will fail and you’ll get something similar to the following message from Drupal:/ppciteThe path 'sites/default/files/HelloDrupal.pdf' is either invalid or you do not have access to it./cite/ppWhy does this happen? Because Drupal’s menu system is made in a way that it checks hook_menu implementations in the system to see if there exists such an internal path and if you have access to it. The solution is a simple module implementing the hook_menu() in the following way:/ppcodelt;!--?php /** * Implementation of hook_menu(). */ function my_module_menu() { // Define a router item for the files directory. $items[ file_directory_path() ] = array( 'page callback' =--gt;'drupal_not_found', 'access callback' =gt; TRUE, 'type' =gt; MENU_CALLBACK, ); return $items; } /code/ppNote that this doesn't break anything - if you request a non-existing file you’ll still get a 404 page./ppHave you encountered the problems I described above? Do you have better solutions, or maybe some other menu troubles you want to share?
