Not only did DrupalEurope in Darmstadt a couple of weeks ago give me the opportunity to learn more about Drupal and meet old friends and community members - it was also the new start of coming back to doing a pod again. The Drupal pod Drupalsnack has been on hold for a year when I wrote a book about old commercials found in comic books during the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. But when the book now is printed and can be found in stores - it's time to go back to recording a pod. And the first episode is about DrupalEurope. Me and my podcast colleague Kristoffer took the opportunity to interview Michael Miles who came all the way from Boston, USA, to visit… Read more...
When I moved my blog into Drupal 8 the summer of 2016 I used the theme Bootstrap Clean Blog which have a nice big photo on top of every article. That increased my need of good stock photos, so i started out to look for good resources. This is a list of the sites I found and use for all my needs. Sites with photos that need no attribution* https://pixabay.com Over 740,000 pictures. vectors and illustrations. https://picjumbo.com/ A site created by someone whose photos was rejected by the big stockphoto sites. Lucky for us, that only spurred him on to do something about it. His project became picjumbo. http://morguefile.com/ Morguefile is a free photo… Read more...
Ever since Drupal 7 I've used GIT to keep track of both my personal repos as the ones the company I work for manage. In short, I use GIT quite a lot. A colleague of mine use GIT to keep track of his computer setup so he easily can pull down his settings and .profile whenever he chooses to reinstall his computer or get a new one. I've heard of a guy (or girl, can't remember) who use GIT to keep track of all his documents. That seems a bit handful, but GIT is wonderful to keep track of the changes in your, for example, Drupal repo. And even if I've used GIT for so long, I'm still learning new stuff about GIT and it makes my daily work even better and more… Read more...
When I started making sites with Drupal 8 I missed a special body class that I sometime need for theming as well as other times, and that's the language body class. When making multilingual sites this comes in handy sometimes. For Drupal 7 this was made possible by the Internationalization (i18n) module, but since that module has been moved into core in Drupal (source) that special body-class-adding-thingamajig seems to have vanished. After facing the need of language id when making this site I started to search for a solution, but came up with very few answers. When I solved it I thought I could make a short entry to spread the knowledge. My needs… Read more...
Ever since I started using Drupal I've wanted to share the knowledge I have gathered around Drupal. I did some screncasts a couple of years ago, in Swedish, and they were appreciated. Then, time disappeared, other projects ate my time. Since I teach the basics of Drupal at schools and more specialized educations for companies, I've never given up on the dream of continuing the screencasts in some way. Earlier this year the company I work for, Kodamera, gave me green light to make screencasts about Drupal. My dream has come true! A website was put together to promote the episodes and so far I have made five screencasts on Drupal. My greatest challenge will… Read more...
