Talking Drupal #101 - Going to the Movies
In episode #101 we talk about building a Movie Website with guest Chris Wells http://www.talkingdrupal.com/101 Topics When is the last time you went to the movies? Have you ever thought about how the website is managed? Requirements Content Content StructureAdmin tools Module of Week Miserywww.drupal.org/project/misery Misery is a module designed to make life difficult for certain users.It can be used: As an alternative to banning or deleting users from a community. As a means by which to punish members of your website. To delight in the suffering of others. The aim of misery is to be not traceable by users on misery list, so misery actions should be sufficiently subtle enough to avoid suspicion.

Talking Drupal #099 - Drupal 8 Elephant
TOPICS: Why we are talking about Drupal 8 today? (I should hit pushed record) Drupal 8 - Status, is there an official status It’s done when it’s done Are customers asking? How does an agency prepare? When does an agency prepare? What happens when it comes out…what is your criteria for using it? RC1 Predictions Nic - August 31 John - September 21 Tim - August 19 Stephen - Oct 10 RESOURCES: Drupal Release Date - https://drupalreleasedate.com/ Drual 8 Status - https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?status[0]=1&status[1]=13&status[2]=8&status[3]=14&status[4]=4&priorities[0]=400&categories[0]=1&categories[1]=2&categories[2]=5&version[0]=8.x Acquia Annouces it is Ready for Drupal 8 - http://buytaert.net/acquia-announces-it-is-ready-for-drupal-8 MODULE OF THE WEEK: Bean www.drupal.org/project/bean Bean is an acronym that stands for Block Entities Aren't Nodes. What is Bean? Think of a Bean as a method to provide new types (compared to node this would be a content type) which then provides an add content interface to create as many blocks as you require (see screenshot below). The bean content can then be placed around the site just like any other block. Beans were driven by the API first. This means that you can create block types (bean types) all in a plugin class turning off the UI. The entire configuration in code. No worry about feature reverts.

Talking Drupal #097 - Blocking Unwanted Users
Topics Listeners’ questions What are unwanted users? Discovering abuse Strategies Modules Custom Solutions Clean Up Module of the Week Role Assign https://www.drupal.org/project/roleassign RoleAssign specifically allows site administrators to further delegate the task of managing user's roles while withholding the Administer permissions permission. RoleAssign introduces a new permission called Assign roles. Users with this permission are able to assign selected roles to still other users. Only users with the Administer permissions permission may select which roles are available for assignment through this module. RoleAssign is ideal for smaller sites with a system administrator and one assistant administrator role that should be reasonably restricted in what it allows. For larger sites with multiple levels of administrators or whenever you need finer-grained control over which role can assign which other role, check out Role Delegation. See #961682: Does the role delegation module supersede this module? for a short discussion of the relative merits of the two modules.
