For those of you who usually read my blog, it's no news that I dabble with the content management system Drupal. This website is built on Drupal, as well as many of my other websites such as Alla Talar Svenska or the podcast platform Voffor Då Då. Drupal is more or less a Swiss Army knife when it comes to building different kinds of solutions, and behind it is an open-source community that ensures its development and maintenance.
Embedding videos can be a tricky thing to do when it comes to both the web and different CMS's. When it comes to embedding videos in the content section - the body of the page - The Video Filter module offers an easy and great solution.
Taxonomies is an important part of Drupal, of course depending on your needs, but I haven't built a website on Drupal without using taxonomies for tags or categories in some way.
From the website of Kodamera: "There are many ways of exporting and importing taxonomies and terms in Drupal, but one of the more simpler ways is to use the Taxonomy CSV import/export module. It lets you choose one of many taxonomies, like the tag taxonomy for example, export it to a comma-separated list which you then can import in a similar way."
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.
As part of my employment at Kodamera, I get to be a Drupal evangelist in many ways. One of them is to make screencasts. The focus right now is the new version of Drupal, Drupal 8.
Drupal 8 is a new experience and I'm loving it. We continue our journey of Drupal with a quick look at the administration toolbar - in other words, the menu of Drupal. I explain what the different parts mean and what you can expect to find behind the top menu items.
