Explore how the Drupal Recording Initiative, led by Kevin Thull, is breaking barriers and fostering inclusivity by making Drupal-related talks easily accessible to enthusiasts worldwide

A few months back (sorry, its been a minute!) I detailed how you could set up PHPDocumentor to automatically generate documentation for your custom code and modules for Drupal. Another step you can take is automating this process for everyone in your projects by taking advantage of git hooks.

The Brave team has introduced a new feature for their Brave Search engine called "Goggles". Goggles, in short, filter search results out by additional relevancy rules using an individual Goggle. In short, these add additional scoring from sites, domains or paths and alter the results when they are served. I created one for Drupal and you can check it out today. It is a starting point to build on, but it does three things to start with:

I am in the midst of a Drupal 7 to Drupal 9 upgrade for a client. This is the first time I am using the Migrate Drupal and Migrate Drupal UI core modules to do an inline upgrade. So far everything has been great. I just need to drop in a data migration path for some Paragraphs and recreate a couple Views and we should be good. However, when I was checking around on some content, I noticed I had no field groups in the new site. Why? Field Groups comes with a Field Groups Migrate submodule, which will pick up and migrate any field groups in a Drupal 7 site to Drupal 8 or 9.

Welcome to the second edition of Pitchburgh Diaries, a fortnightly update on our progress as we work on our plan for a decoupled Layout Builder using React.

Last fortnight's edition

This fortnight we've been focused on completing the API/persistence layer finalized and solidifying the APIs for the front-end components.

But before we get into the details, here's a demo of work so far ✨

Highlights of deliverables for this fortnight:

• Finalised the API
• Added an API for React Widget components plus a Widget manager
• Added a settings tray
• Added support for settings form to React Block components
• Added a document outline with drag and drop support
• Added a footer component that shows breadcrumbs
• Plain text widget
• Rich text widget powered by CKEditor
• Edit and select document modes
• Drag and drop to add new section or block

Our next steps are:

• Finalise documentation and release the front end code so others can start contributing widgets/formatters/blocks and layouts
• Make sidebar panes (left and right) pluggable as an extension point
• Implement save in the front-end (with autosave on idle)
• Implement block/region restrictions in front-end (aka Layout Builder restrictions support) - this already exists in the API.
• Support settings tray for section plugins
• Wire up to Drupal using drupalSettings and plugin definitions
• Undo/Redo support

Conversely, Revize, a government CMS solution, prides itself on its bespoke features crafted specifically to empower government entities and engage their communities.
