There's a module for that. Brief history How old: created less than month ago in Nov 2023 by listener James Shields, whose drupal.org username is lostcarpark Versions available: 1.0.0-beta3 release, which works with Drupal 10.1 and newer Maintainership Actively maintained, latest release made earlier today Test coverage Number of open issues: 5, 3 of which are bugs, but all but one are now marked as fixed Usage stats: 6 sites Module features and usage James actually created a Drupal advent calendar a year ago, on his website lostcarpark.com. The idea was to showcase a new module every day, similar to advent calendars that provide a chocolate or a toy each day, hidden behind a cardboard door James' initial version displayed the content in a traditional calendar format, using the Calendar View module. What he really wanted, however, was a way to present the content using clickable doors to reveal new entries The new Advent Calendar module provides a new view display, so you can configure what content type or other filters to apply, and use fields to specify what information to show The module uses a Single Directory Component for display, hence the 10.1 requirement There is also an "Advent Calendar Quickstart" submodule that sets up everything for you, including a content type, view, and 24 nodes to populate it for you Each site visitor gets to "open" the door to new content as it is published each day. For authenticated users, which doors have been opened is stored as user data, and for anonymous users it's kept in local storage via Javascript In addition to this being an interesting module in its own right, the advent calendar James has created this year is also a community effort. He's managed to enlist a wide variety of contributors to write about modules or aspects of the Drupal community that they're passionate about, so it's a great way to up your Drupal game. You can open a new door yourself every day at https://lostcarpark.com/advent-calendar-2023

The ecosystem of modules around Flag includes one called Views Flag Refresh that can trigger a view to automatically update via AJAX as soon as any content in that view is flagged or unflagged Not long ago I used Flag as part of a lightweight task management system within Drupal, and anyone wanting to try that out can install the Tasks module

Today we are talking about The Conflict Resolution Team, What they do, and Why they do it with guest Mark Casias. We'll also cover Smart Trim as our module of the week.

I haven't had a chance to try the latest release, but given the recent focus on UI improvements, documentation, and flexibility in the twig template it should be even better than I remember

Today we are talking about Commerce Kickstart, Commerce in General, and What's new at Centarro with guest Ryan Szrama. We'll also cover Navigation as our module of the week. For show notes visit: www.talkingDrupal.com/422 Topics High level overview of commerce kickstart Is it a distribution Will it move to recipes Why use commerce directly over kickstart Does kickstart lend itself to a specific type of site Compare with Shopify Do you ever recommend Shopify Are there additional conditions or events being added Can people contribute to kickstart What is Centarro focused on now What is the state of headless Resources Selling File Downloads and certificates through Drupal Commerce Commerce Kickstart Driesnote Methodical coffee Guests Ryan Szarma - ryanszrama.com rszrama Hosts Nic Laflin - nLighteneddevelopment.com nicxvan John Picozzi - epam.com johnpicozzi Mark Casias - kanopi.com - markie MOTW Correspondent Martin Anderson-Clutz - @mandclu Navigation Brief description: Would you like to try out and give feedback on a proposed overhaul to how Drupal's administration menu works? There's a module for that. Brief history How old: project created in 2004, but the namespace was taken over earlier this year as a place to work on the proposed new navigation in the contrib space Versions available: No releases yet, so you need to clone the repo into your custom modules Maintainership Very active development, commits in the past day Number of open issues: 46, 14 of which are bugs Usage stats: Officially 1 site is using it, but not recommended for production anyway Maintainer(s): Include Christina Chumillas, Sascha Eggenberger, Lauri Eskola, Mike Herschel, and more Module features and usage At this point, really a prototype, trying to define what the user experience should be Worth noting that the latest release for the Gin admin theme also includes this new updated navigation as an experimental feature that can be updated, but still best to leave feedback on the Navigation project The main idea is that instead of having dropdowns that fly out for deeper level menu items, the navigation is in a sidebar, with menu items that expand to reveal child items when clicked It's worth noting that dropdown menus with multiple levels handled in flyouts are a known usability pain point, and are often cited by industry experts like Jakob Neilsen as something to avoid There are still some usability issues to be thought through with this approach, for example there is no longer a way to reach the top page of a section or subsection, because clicking on the link shows or hides the child items instead This was a subject of some very active discussions at DrupalCon Europe last week, so I thought it would be good to cover this week, so our listeners can add their voices

There's a module for that. Brief history How old: created in Apr 2016 by PatrickScheffer Versions available: 7.x-1.3, 8.x-1.3, and 8.x-2.3 versions, the last two of which can be used with Drupal 8, 9, and 10 Maintainership Maintenance fixes only Number of open issues: 2 issues, neither are bugs Usage stats: 377 sites Module features and usage The module works by extending core's taxonomy hierarchy management You can organize who reports to who with a simple drag-and-drop, the same as any taxonomy hierarchy. For anyone who hasn't used those, it would be basically the same as managing a menu structure Once created, an organigram can be viewed as a dedicated page, a block, and a token The 2.x branch uses Flexbox to achieve a CSS-only presentation that removes the need for any Javascript Appears to have been built to serve the needs of the Dutch House of Representatives I haven't tested it, but I suspect that for a site with a very large organigram they need to build, tools like Client Side Hierarchical Select, built to make managing large taxonomies easier, are likely to work with Organigrams too

Today we are talking about The Recipes Initiative, the future of install profiles, if distros are still a thing, and answering a bunch of listener questions with our guest Jim Birch.

Quick Links Kit (different from Quicklink module created by last week's guest, Mike Herschel) Brief history How old: I created in Apr 2021 Versions available: 1.0.6 that supports Drupal 8, 9, and 10, and 2.0.1 that supports only D10 Maintainership Sporadically maintained, but a pretty simple module Number of open issues: 1, and it's not a bug Usage stats: 1 site Maintainer(s): Me! Module features and usage The module is really just a set of configuration, with an optional submodule that sets everything up, including the placement of the block on the home page, for sites using Olivero as their theme, so it's perfect for a fresh install of Drupal It allows for SVG icons to be set for each link, and sets their fill to inherit from the link style The links can be created and managed without leaving the page on which they're used, by using the settings tray, though it would be a quick configuration change to use a modal or a separate page instead, if preferred. The 2.0 version also makes use of Drupal 10's new responsive grid views display, so if you've wanting to try that out, this is an easy way to get started I thought this module was appropriate for today's episode because it's an example of a module that will be a recipe once the infrastructure for them is ready. That said, the Olivero submodule does currently contain a little CSS to improve the display of the links, but that could easily be copied into your site's custom theme.

On today's show we are talking about Single Directory Components in Drupal, How they differ from Web Components, and what are their benefits with guest Mateu Bosch & Mike Herchel. We'll also cover Component Libraries: Theme Server as our module of the week. For show notes visit: www.talkingDrupal.com/416 Topics What are Single Directory Components? Where did the idea of adding Single Directory Components to Drupal come from? Where does support for this stand in Drupal Core? Fully supported? Still need a contrib module? How do they differ from Web Components? (Mike will take this one) How does Single Directory Components make Drupal Theme development easier? What is the point of creating a schema for an SDC? Can modules or themes override SDCs? How? Can SDC be integrated into component library systems like Storybook? How? Any other helpful contrib modules that enhance SDCs? Does this at all help a headless? How can someone get involved or help contribute to Single Directory Components?

Today we are talking about Front End Performance, Common Front End Issues, and Ways to test and fix said issues with guest Andy Blum. We'll also cover Webp Fallback Image as our module of the week.

There are a number of modules for that, today we're going to talk about… Brief history How old: created in Jun 2022 by pedrop Versions available: 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 versions available, both of which support Drupal 8, 9, and 10 Maintainership Actively maintained Number of open issues 3, 2 of which are bugs Has test coverage Usage stats: Almost 252 sites Maintainer(s): Most recent release is by dj1999 Module features and usage Anyone using testing tools like Lighthouse will have seen suggestions to use modern image formats like WebP, and with good reason. They allow for much smaller image files at the same quality, which means a better user experience and less bandwidth used by both the server and the visitor. WebP is a natural choice because it enjoys over 95% browser support, but many sites still care about that other 5% Drupal core added its own support for webp in 9.2, but without a fallback image, so browsers that don't have WebP support have been out of luck Contrib modules have allowed for generating a webp image and a jpeg fallback, to allow for universal support. Typically they have worked by creating the WebP variant from the output of a core image style, so after an image has been saved as something like a jpeg. That means the resulting WebP can't compress as well, and can show compression artifacts WebP Fallback Image is different because it allows Drupal core to generate the WebP image from the source file, and then creates the jpeg fallback. Also worth noting that this module only creates the jpeg fallback when it's requested, so it doesn't add to the storage of your website unless it's needed

Today we are talking about The Future of Content Management, What we see for Drupal in the future, and How AI might factor in with guest John Doyle. We'll also cover Access Policy as our module of the week.

There's a module for that! Brief history How old: created in Nov 2022 Versions available: 1.0.0-beta1, works with D9 and 10 Maintainership Actively maintained, most recent release was in the past week Number of open issues: 4, none of which are bugs Test coverage Usage stats: 12 sites Maintainer(s): partdigital Module features and usage Allows a site builder to define different policies that can be used to manage content access or editing capabilities based on various factors, all within the Drupal UI Criteria can include field values of the content, field values on the current user's profile, the time of day, and more The policy can restrict access, for example view acces to only selected people or people with a certain role or field value on their profile. I Once defined, policies can be assigned manually, or automatically applied based on configurable selection criteria The project page describes this as an Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) architecture, which complements Drupal core's Role Based Access Control that our listeners are probably familiar with I used it for the first recently, and found that given the power and flexibility the module provides, it's great that it has in-depth documentation I filed a couple of issues (technically half of the open issues) and partdigital was very responsive The module does also provide an API for defining your own policy type, access rules, rule widgets, and more. So if you need a setup even more custom that what Access Policy can provide out of the box, it's likely you can extend it to meet your individual use case

There's a module for that! Brief history How old: created in Feb 2017 Versions available: 8.x-2.6 (D8 & D9), 3.0.0-alpha1 (D9 & D10) Maintainership Seeking a new maintainer Number of open issues: 17 open, 3 of which are bugs Does have test coverage Usage stats: 9 sites Maintainer(s): Jheadstrom, who maintains his own stable of modules, including a number in the Message stack Module features and usage Creates a new tab on nodes, on which a content creator (or anyone with the necessary permission) can assign one or more editors or reviewers Can specifically designate which roles can be editors or reviewers Editors have the ability to make changes and transition content between states, while reviewers can only move between states For each transition in your workflow, can specify if editors and/or approvers are able to perform the transition Can optionally send a notification email to workflow participants as they are added to a piece of content I used to have a boss who liked to say "The surest way to starve a dog is to put two people in charge of feeding it", so the idea of specifically assigning individuals to individual pieces of content is potentially very powerful

Default plugins are 'Accept', 'Follow', 'Delete', 'Undo' and 'Inbox reply', but a site could add or enable others Based on the documentation it sounds like if you update an entity (e.g. change the title) you can trigger an Update activity, which is in stark contrast to a certain bird platform There's quite a bit more in the module's README file if anyone wants to better understand its capabilities
