Today, I had a situation where I was displaying a list of teasers for news article nodes. The article content type had several different fields assigned to it, including main and thumbnail images. In this case, I wanted to have different output and fields displayed when a teaser was displayed compared to when a complete node was displayed.

When you download [Drupal](http://drupal.org/project/drupal), there are several text files that are placed in the root of your installation. You don't want or need these to be visible to anyone attempting to view them in a browser - especially `CHANGELOG.txt` as that includes the exact version of Drupal you are running and could therefore have security implications.

If you use a lot of process and preprocess functions within your Drupal theme, then your template.php can get very long and it can become difficult to find a certain piece of code.

Following the example of the [Omega theme](http://drupal.org/project/omega "The Omega theme on Drupal.org"), I've started separating my process and preprocess functions into their own files. For example, mytheme_preprocess_node can be placed within a preprocess/node.inc file, and mytheme_process_page can be placed within process/page.inc.

Yesterday evening I went along and spoke at the [UnifiedDiff meetup](http://www.unifieddiff.co.uk) in Cardiff, having offered previously to do a presentation providing an introduction to Drupal.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm an experienced Drupal Developer, but not an experienced public speaker (although I have done several user training sessions and Drupal demonstrations for clients previously), and I think that some of the nerves that I had beforehand were apparent during the presentation, and being the first speaker for the evening probably didn't help, although I did get a [nice tweet](https://twitter.com/craigmarvelley/status/243418608720543745) mid-way through.
|
||||
|
||||
Initially, after aiming for a 20-minute presentation plus Q&A, I think I wrapped up the presentation in around 14 minutes, although I did about 6 minutes of answering questions afterwards including the apparently mandatory "Why use Drupal compared to WordPress or Joomla?" question, some Drupal 8 and Symfony questions, as well as an interesting question about the White House development project after I'd listed it within a list of example sites. Next time, I think that some more detailed presenter notes are needed. Typically, as soon as it sat back in my seat, the majority of things that I'd managed to remember beforehand all came flooding back to me and I thought "I should have said that whilst I was up speaking".

These preferences ensure that the code is compliant with [Drupal coding standards](http://drupal.org/coding-standards "Drupal coding standards on Drupal.org") - using two spaces instead of a tab, no trailing whitespace, blank line at the end of a file etc.

This post outlines the steps required to create your own custom tokens in Drupal.

When writing the recent releases of the [Copyright Block](http://drupal.org/project/copyright_block) module, I used tokens to allow the user to edit and customise their copyright message and place the copyright_message:dates token in the desired position. When the block is rendered, the token is replaced by the necessary dates.

We will be using the fictional *foo* module to demonstrate this.

Yesterday was my last day working at [Nomensa](http://www.nomensa.com "Nomensa"). Next week, I'll be starting as a Senior Developer at [Precedent](http://www.precedent.co.uk "Precedent").
|
||||
|
||||
The last 14 months that I've been working at Nomensa have been absolutely fantastic, and had allowed me to work on some great projects for great clients - mainly [unionlearn](http://www.unionlearn.org "unionlearn") and [Digital Theatre Plus](http://www.digitaltheatreplus.com "Digital Theatre Plus"). I've learned so much about accessibility and web standards, and have pretty much changed my whole approach to front-end development to accommodate best practices. I've also been involved with the Drupal Accessibility group since starting at Nomensa, and have written several accessibility-focused Drupal modules, including the [Nomensa Accessible Media Player](http://drupal.org/project/nomensa_amp "The Nomensa Accessible Media Player Drupal module") module and the [Accessibility Checklist](http://drupal.org/project/a11y_checklist "The accessibility checklist for Drupal"). I'll definitely be continuing my interest in accessibility, championing best practices, and incorporating it into my future work wherever possible.
|
||||
|
||||
With that all said, I'm really looking forward to starting my new role at Precedent, tackling some new challenges, and I'm sure that it'll be as great a place to work as Nomensa was.

A few times recently, I've had instances where [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com) seems to have forgotten which virtual machine it's supposed to load, probably due to renaming a project directory or the .vagrant directory being moved accidentally.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the steps that I took to fix this and point Vagrant back at the correct VM.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Stop the machine from running using the `$ vagrant halt` command.
|
||||
2. Use the `$ VBoxManage list vms` command to view a list of the virtual machines on your system. Note the ID of the correct VM that should be loading. For example, `"foo_default_1405481857614_74478" {e492bfc3-cac2-4cde-a396-e81e37e421e2}`. The number within the curly brackets is the ID of the virtual machine.
|
||||
3. Within the .vagrant directory in your project (it is hidden by default), update the ID within the machines/default/virtualbox/id file.
|
||||
4. Start the new VM with `$ vagrant up`.

If you use the [Features module](http://drupal.org/project/features) to manage your Drupal configuration, it can be time consuming to update features through the UI, especially if you are working on a remote server and need to keep downloading and uploading files.
|
||||
|
||||
If you re-create a feature through the UI, you'll be prompted to download a new archive of the feature in its entirety onto your local computer. You could either commit this into a local repository and then pull it remotely, or use a tool such as SCP to upload the archive onto the server and commit it from there. You can simplify this process by using [Drush](http://drush.org).
|
||||
## Finding Components
|
||||
|
||||
To search for a component, use the `drush features-components` command. This will display a list of all components on the site. As we're only interested in components that haven't been exported yet, add the `--not-exported` option to filter the results.

Download the [Stage File Proxy](https://www.drupal.org/project/stage_file_proxy) module from Drupal.org and enable it on your site.

|

As this module is only going to be needed on pre-production sites, it would be better to configure this within your settings.php or settings.local.php file. We do this using the `$conf` array which removes the need to configure the module through the UI and store the values in the database.

I was recently doing some work on a site hosted on [Pantheon](http://getpantheon.com) and came across an issue, for which part of the suggested fix was to ensure that the `$base_url` variable was explicitly defined within settings.php (this is also best practice on all Drupal sites).
|
||||
|
||||
The way that was recommended was by using a `switch()` function based on Pantheon's environment variable. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```language-php
|
||||
switch ($_SERVER['PANTHEON_ENVIRONMENT']) {

[Reroute Email](https://www.drupal.org/project/reroute_email) module uses `hook_mail_alter()` to prevent emails from being sent to users from non-production sites. It allows you to enter one or more email addresses that will receive the emails instead of delivering them to the original user.
|
||||
|
||||
> This is useful in case where you do not want email sent from a Drupal site to reach the users. For example, if you copy a live site to a test site for the purpose of development, and you do not want any email sent to real users of the original site. Or you want to check the emails sent for uniform formatting, footers, ...etc.
|
||||
|
||||
As we don't need the module configured on production (we don't need to reroute any emails there), it's best to do this in code using settings.local.php (if you have one) or the standard settings.php file.

This was the main thing for me this year, in May I left [Precedent](http://precedent.com) and joined the [Drupal Association](https://assoc.drupal.org). I work on the Engineering team, focused mainly on [Drupal.org](https://www.drupal.org) but I've also done some theming work on the DrupalCon [Amsterdam](http://amsterdam2014.drupal.org) and [Latin America](http://latinamerica2015.drupal.org) websites, and some pre-launch work on [Drupal Jobs](https://jobs.drupal.org).

I recently had my first experience using the [Entityform module](https://www.drupal.org/project/entityform) in a project. It was quite easy to configure with different form types, but then I needed to embed the form into an overlay. I was expecting to use the `drupal_get_form()` function and render it, but this didn’t work.

Here are the steps that I took to be able to load, render and embed the form.

## Loading the Form
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing that I needed to do to render the form was to load an empty instance of the entityform using `entityform_empty_load()`. In this example, `newsletter` is the name of my form type.
