Talking Drupal

In episode #111 we revisit the topic of Views in Drupal.  www.talkingdrupal.com Topics Formatters Sorting Filters Views Templates Relationships New in Drupal 8 Modules: Semantic views- https://www.drupal.org/project/semanticviewsDraggable Views - https://www.drupal.org/project/draggableviews   Modules of the Week:File Checkerhttps://www.drupal.org/project/file_checkerIn a perfect Drupal world your server file system and its corresponding entries in Drupal's files table are 100% synchronized. But what if parts of your file system have been corrupted due to some disk failure? Or one of your modules messed up your database and files? Or your deploy script went beserk? Well, then this module will help you to monitor and find out which files are out of sync.

In episode #110 we discuss building a subscription based commerce website. TOPICS: What is a subscription? Credit Cards Controlling Access to content / Feature Drupal Commerce Components RESOURCES: Decoupling Drupal - http://buytaert.net/should-we-decouple-drupal-with-a-client-side-framework MODULE OF THE WEEK: Menu Item Visibility www.drupal.org/project/menu_item_visibility This 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 /userpath, 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.The module uses the exact same UI used for block visibility settings for familiarity.

Topics Chef in a nutshell Server configuration management Use Cases What is Chef Chef Components Chef and the Drupal world Resources Chef - https://www.chef.io/ Chef Overview - https://docs.chef.io/chef_overview.html Module of the Week Disable Messages - www.drupal.org/project/disable_messages Gives a site owner options to disable specific messages shown to end users. The core drupal message system as offered by drupal_set_message is an excellent way for modules to send out messages to the end users. However not all drupal site owners are keen to show all the messages sent out by drupal core and all modules to their users. This module gives site administrators a reasonably powerful way to filter out messages shown to the end users.
