Rebuilding Netlify from Drupal

Rebuilding Netlify from Drupal

I've recently taken up maintainership of the Netlify module for Drupal. This module helps bridge the gap between rebuilds and syncing changes that happen in Drupal to ensure your connected Netlify site correctly reflects that data, which is useful for avoiding certain aggressive caching scenarios with Next.js when it stubbornly refuses to refresh. Saving config, content or manually triggering a build will update the site.

2024 Goals

2024 Goals

It feels like the post I made for 2023 goals was done only a little while ago - but here we are again at the start of a new year. I'll keep it short this year, things like reading and exercise are table stakes. Those are 'must do' things that are not really goals anymore - I just do it. Instead, I am going to keep a short, focused list so I can hone my time.

Update on List field data integrity issues in Drupal 10.2

Last week I wrote up a walkthrough in dealing with a change introduced for List field validation in Drupal 10.2 using a stored procedure to rewrite existing data. After some discussion, this change has been reverted in an upcoming patch release for Drupal 10.2:

Regression from #2521800: using machine name element for ListStringItem breaks with existing data

Fixing list text field data integrity issues in Drupal 10.2

Fixing list text field data integrity issues in Drupal 10.2

Drupal 10.2 has arrived and ships with several new features, bugfixes, enhancements and quality of life improvements.

One change that might catch you off guard though involves List (text) fields. These fields store key/value pairs of information, designed to present users with a select list of options in a field.

Using pre-commit and post-commit Git hooks in Drupal

Using pre-commit and post-commit Git hooks in Drupal

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.

Drupal and ChatGPT

Drupal and ChatGPT

Everyone is talking about ChatGPT and where tools like these can fit into everyday life. But is the future of artificial intelligence only chatbots? I wrote an article about five ways we have integrated the OpenAI API (what ChatGPT is built on top of) into Drupal 10 to see how AI tools can change and augment daily content management tasks. We've also released this work as a set of modules on Drupal.org. This will be interesting to develop throughout the year as these tools evolve!

I'm officially a published author!

I am excited to announce that last year I participated in co-authoring The Drupal 10 Development Cookbook alongside the venerable Matt Glaman to bring you many years worth of experience distilled down into 14 chapters of useful information. If you are wondering why I was really quiet last quarter, I was mainly heads down on this project!
