The Night Before DrupalCon

Twas the night before DrupalCon

When all through the hotel, Not a developer was coding, not even Crell

The Coffee Mugs were placed by the laptops with care, In hopes that our Dries, soon would be there

The speakers were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of Drupal 8 RC danced in their heads

and my boss in his t-shirt and I in mine too just sat down to the bar to throw back a brew

When out in the hall there arose such a clatter

I  sprang from my stool to see what was the matter, out to the hall I stumbled and fell, tore up my new DrupalCon t-shirt and and exclaimed “oh hell”

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a bright yellow taxi driven by a man with a beard, with a spiky haired passenger wearing glasses and jeans I knew in a moment it must be Dries 

More rapid than Varnish his contributors they came. and he commented, and messaged and called them by name: Now JJeff! now Quicksketch now Webchick and Nicxvan

On MerlinofChaos On Stella On KarenS and Eaton! To finish the beta blockers, YES, finish them all, Now Code away! Code away! Code away all!

As I held my last brew and was turning around, into the hotel Dries came with a bound.

He was dressed in the typical geek turn CEO garb, but wrinkled and untidy from his trip across the pond.

One-strapping the pack of tech on his back he looked like a man that could use a night cap.

His eyes how they twinkled! His smile how Merry! His glasses were awesome, kind of like Drew Carey. 

His code and ideas are legend you know, from a dorm room in Antwerp to a  board room so quick, if you think it was luck, you just missed the trick.

With 10 Years of DrupalCon and no signs of slowing, we’re expecting Drupal 8 to keep this show going.

I see in his face, years of spearheading his vision, from Drupal 1 to 7, it’s been a community mission.

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. 

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, and filled all the coffee cups, then turned with a twerk

The ding of the elevator, up to his room he went. To rest his head before his keynote event

but I heard him exclaim as he walked out of sight Happy DrupalCon to all and to all a good night.

Module of the Week

• Role Export - https://www.drupal.org/project/role_export

The Role Export module allows roles to have machine_names and generates a unique role id (rid) based off of the machine_name. Roles can be exported with Features and get the exact same rid if imported on other sites. Because of this unique rid there is no need to create plugins per contrib module that use the rid in their export code, such as Views, Ctools, Rules, etc. References to this role id will not break on other sites.

• Computed Field - https://www.drupal.org/project/computed_field

Computed Field is a very powerful field module that lets you add a custom "computed fields" to your content types. These computed fields are populated with values that you define via PHP code. You may draw on anything available to Drupal, including other fields, the current user, database tables, you name it. (Feeling the power yet? :) ) You can also choose whether to store your computed field values in the database with other content fields, or have them "calculated" on the fly during node views. (Although you should note that Views use requires database stored values.) This field is literally the Swiss Army knife of fields. So start cooking up your PHP based values!

Module of the week

Table Field - https://www.drupal.org/project/tablefield

This module allows you to attach tabular data to a node in Drupal 6 or any entity in Drupal 7. The input form allows the user to specify the number of rows/columns and allows entry into each table cell using text fields. Tables can be defined globally or on a per-node/per-entity basis, so every node can have multiple tables of arbitrary size. Enter data by hand or by CSV upload. Table data can also be downloaded as CSV files by your users if you so choose. Tables are multi-value and revision capable.

Module of the week

• Views field view https://www.drupal.org/project/views_field_view

This module allows you to embed a view as a field in a view. A new field handler is made available, so this can also be used in area (header/footer/empty) handlers as well as rows.

This view handler can accept arguments from fields of the parent view using tokens and pass them into the child view for each row. Raw or rendered token values can be used, as well as static values.

Module of the Week

Trasliteration - https://drupal.org/project/transliteration

Provides one-way string transliteration (romanization) and cleans file names during upload by replacing unwanted characters.

Generally spoken, it takes Unicode text and tries to represent it in US-ASCII characters (universally displayable, unaccented characters) by attempting to transliterate the pronunciation expressed by the text in some other writing system to Roman letters.
