Drupal

This post is mostly so I don't forget, as it took several hours to figure out.

Recently, I needed to create some links in a twig templates to various ECK ( Entity Construction Kit ) entity types, mostly to Add, View, and Edit.  Now, it's not really a good idea to try building the paths manually, since the paths may change ( if I update the pathauto patterns or something ).  Routes are much more stable.

In Twig, there are two main functions for generating links, link() and path().  Link creates an absolute URL, while path ( wait for it ) creates a path or relative URL.

When designing a Drupal based site, there is a killer tool with which most of us are familiar, Paragraphs.  Paragraphs allows us to create a component-based architecture, whereby authors can add components to a page in a structured way.  How can we use the flexibility of Paragraphs to create a component-driven author experience that empowers the author while ensuring a consistent design language?

The much anticipated follow up to last year's Drupal Camp Atlanta is right around the corner.  And the current line up of speakers looks to be a real winner.

We're excited to be attending and learning about hot topics like Drupal 8, Commerce and other cool tools.

If you are going to be in Atlanta Oct 19-20, you should attend.

Had a great time at Drupal Camp Atlanta 2012.  There were just too many great sessions to attend and it was challenging to narrow down.  After check-in, I settled in to the keynote from Josh Clark of Global Moxie, who you might recognize as the creator of Big Medium.  I did at least, and he was nice enough to trade hellos afterwards. Sessions Attended:

 I have been working on a new site based on Drupal 7 and Omega Theme (if you are a developer and don't know about Drupal, you are missing out BIG TIME).  The cool thing about Omega theme is that it's a responsive theme, meaning it allows your site to morph to fit different screen sizes using a new feature known as media queries.
