+Whilst developing this, and other Drupal websites for clients, I decided that I wanted to categorise content using the taxonomy system. However, I wasn't happy with the way that Drupal displayed the terms lists by default, and I started comparing this to other websites that I look at.
 
 To start with, I wanted to have something that described what the list was displaying - like in the second example above. I wanted to have the words 'Posted in' displayed before the list of terms. To do this, I had to edit the node template file that exists within my theme folder (sites/all/themes). As I only wanted this change to affect my Blog posts, the file that I needed to change is **node-blog.tpl.php**

Using the [Imagefield_Import](http://drupal.org/project/imagefield_import) module, I was then able to quickly import the photos into the new Galleries.

 Whilst uploading images for my Projects and Testimonials sections, I noticed that the Imagecache-scaled images weren't as high a quality the originals on my Mac. I did some searching online and found out that, by default, Drupal resamples uploaded jpgs to 75% of their original quality.
 
 To increase the quality of your images, change the setting in the two following places:

-{% block content %}
 * admin/settings/imageapi/config
 * admin/settings/image-toolkit
 
 The first one is for ImageAPI. Primarily, this means Imagecache presets. The second one is for core's image.inc. This is used for resizing profile pictures in core, and some contrib modules. Once changed, I did have to flush each of the Imagecache presets (admin/dist/imagecache) for the changes to take effect.

 I recently decided that I wanted to have a block displayed in a sidebar on my site containing icons and links to my social media profiles - [Twitter](http://twitter.com/opdavies), [Facebook](http://facebook.com/opdavies) etc. I tried the [Follow](http://drupal.org/project/follow) module, but it lacked the option to add extra networks such my [Drupal.org](http://drupal.org/user/381388) account, and my [RSS feed](http://oliverdavies.co.uk/rss.xml).

The nodes are sorted by the descending post date, and filtered by whether or not they are published, and only to include Photo nodes.
 
 As an additional effect, I also included the 'Feeds Item - Item Link' field, which is basically the original link from the RSS feed. By checking the box the exclude the item from the display, it is not shown, but makes the link available to be used elsewhere. By checking the box 'Re-write the output for this field' on the 'Content: Photo' field, I was able to add the replacement token (in this case, [url]) as the path for a link around each image.

 This isn't a Drupal related topic per se, but it is a walk-through of one of the applications that I use whilst doing Drupal development work. I assume, like most Mac OS X users, I use [MAMP](http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html) to run Apache, MySQL and PHP locally whilst developing. I also use virtual hosts in Apache to create local .dev domains which are as close as possible to the actual live domains. For example, if I was developing a site called mysite.com, my local development version would be mysite.dev.
 
 Normally, I would have to edit the hosts file and Apache's httpd.conf file to create a virtual host. The first to set the domain and it's associated IP address, and the other to configure the domain's directory, default index file etc. However, using [VirtualHostX](http://clickontyler.com/virtualhostx), I can quickly create a virtual host without having to edt any files. Enter the virtual domain name, the local path and the port, and apply the settings. VirtualHostX automatically restarts Apache, so the domain is ready to work straight away. You can also enter custom directives from within the GUI.

 There's also an option to share the host over the local network. Next, I intend on configuring a virtual Windows PC within VMware Fusion to view these domains so that I can do cross-browser testing before putting a site live.

 Earlier this year, I posted a solution to [an issue](http://drupal.org/node/753898) on the Drupal.org issue queue. Originally, I just posted the code back onto the issue, but have now created a patch that can easily be applied to any Drupal 6 installation. Here is a run-through of the process of creating and applying a patch. In this case, I made changes to the `user_pass_validate()` function that's found within `modules/user/user.pages.inc`.

-{% block excerpt %}
 The next part of the new gallery that I want to implement is to group the galleries by their respective categories. The first step is to edit my original photo_gallery view and add an additional display.
 
 I've called it 'Taxonomy', and it's similar to the original 'All Galleries' view. The differences are that I've added the taxonomy term as an argument, removed the header, and updated the path to be `gallery/%`. The other thing that I need to do is overwrite the output of the original 'All Galleries' View by creating a file called `views-view--photo-gallery--page-1.tpl.php` and placing it within my theme directory.

 Within that file, I can remove the standard content output. This still outputs the heading information from the original View. I can now use the function called 'views_embed_view' to embed my taxonomy display onto the display. The views_embed_view function is as follows:

 Next, I can use `\n` to target the lines between the rows. I'll replace it with the next comma, the number 63 (the tid value), the closing bracket, another comma, re-add the line and add the opening bracket.
 
 The only two lines that aren't changed are the first and last, as they don't have any line breaks following them. I can complete these lines manually. Now all I need to do is add the beginning of the SQL update statement, then copy and paste it into Sequel Pro.

 One of my favourite things lately in Drupal 6 has been CCK 3, and more specifically, the Content Multigroups sub-module. Basically this allows you to create a fieldset of various CCK fields, and then repeat that multiple times. For example, I use it on this site whist creating invoices for clients. I have a fieldset called 'Line Item', containing 'Description', 'Quantity' and 'Price' fields. With a standard fieldset, I could only have one instance of each field - however, using a multigroup, I can create multiple groups of line items which I then use within the invoice.
 
 But at the time of writing this, there is no CCK 3 version for Drupal 7. So, I created the same thing using [Field Collection](http://drupal.org/project/field_collection) and [Entity](http://drupal.org/project/entity) modules.

Going back to the content type fields page, and clicking on 'Hidden' (the name of the current widget), I can change it to subform and save my changes.
 
 With this change applied, when I go back to add or edit a node within this content type, my field collection will be easily editable directly within the form.

 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.
-{% endblock %}
 
-{% block content %}
 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".
 
 Overall, considering my inexperience at speaking to this type of audience, I was fairly happy with my presentation, although I'm sure that I'll change my mind once I've watched the video of it on the UnifiedDiff website. Regardless, I think that it was a great experience and I enjoyed doing it, and I'd like to thank the organisers of UnifiedDiff for having me speak at their meetup. It was great to have a more relaxed conversation with some people after the other speakers had been up, and having introduced Drupal I would be more than happy to come back and do a more in-depth presentation if there is an interest for me to do so.

 The [Domain Access project](https://drupal.org/project/domain "The Domain Access project on Drupal.org") is a suite of modules that provide tools for running a group of affiliated sites from one Drupal installation and a single shared database. The issue is that the domains are stored within the database so these are copied across when the data is migrated between environments, whereas the domains are obviously going to change.
 
 Rather than changing the domain settings within the Domain module itself, the best solution I think is to use table prefixes and create a different domain table per environment. With a live, staging and local domains, the tables would be named as follows:

 If you use [Drush](https://raw.github.com/drush-ops/drush/master/README.md "About Drush"), it's likely that you've used the `drush pm-download` (or `drush dl` for short) command to start a new project. This command downloads projects from Drupal.org, but if you don't specify a project or type "drush dl drupal", the command will download the current stable version of Drupal core. Currently, this will be Drupal 7 with that being the current stable version of core at the time of writing this post.

 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.

 1. Stop the machine from running using the `$ vagrant halt` command.

For example, `"foo_default_1405481857614_74478" {e492bfc3-cac2-4cde-a396-e81e37e421e2}`. The number within the curly brackets is the ID of the virtual machine.
 1. Within the .vagrant directory in your project (it is hidden by default), update the ID within the machines/default/virtualbox/id file.
 1. 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.

 The way that was recommended was by using a `switch()` function based on Pantheon's environment variable. For example:

 This week, my first code patch was [committed to Drupal core](https://www.drupal.org/node/2394517#comment-9773143). The patch adds the `user_has_role()` function to the user module, to simplify the way to check whether a user in Drupal has been assigned a specific role. This is something that I normally write a custom function for each project, but it's now available in Drupal core as of [7.36](https://www.drupal.org/drupal-7.36-release-notes).

 My website includes several various command line tools - e.g. [Sculpin][4], [Gulp][5] and [Behat][6] - each needing different arguments and options, depending on the command being run. For example, for Sculpin, I normally include several additional options when viewing the site locally - the full command that I use is `./vendor/bin/sculpin generate --watch --server --clean --no-interaction`.

 Recently, I reviewed [a patch][1] in the [Override Node Options][2] module issue queue. For those not familiar with it, the module adds extra permissions for node options like "authored by" and "published on" which are normally only available to users with the `administer nodes` permission. What the patch does is to optionally add another set of permissions that enable options for all content types - e.g. "override published option for all node types", in addition to or instead of the content type specific ones.
 
 It was quite an old issue and the latest patch needed to be re-rolled due to merge conflicts, but the existing tests still passed. Though as no new tests were added for the new functionality, these needed to be added before I committed it.

 Earlier this week I moved this site from my personal Linode server to [GitHub Pages][0].
 
 This made sense as I already kept the source code in [on GitHub][1], the issue was that GitHub Pages doesn’t know how to dynamically parse and generate a Sculpin site like it does with some other static site generators. It can though parse and serve HTML files, which is what Sculpin generates. It’s just a case of how those files are added to GitHub.
-{% endblock %}
 
-{% block content %}
 I’ve seen different implementations of this, mostly where the Sculpin code is on one branch, and the generated HTML code is on a separate `gh-pages` or `master` branch (depending on your repository name). I’m not fond of this approach as it means automatically checking out and merging branches which can get messy, and also it’s weird to look at a repo’s branches page and see one branch maybe tens or hundreds of commits both ahead and behind the default branch.
 
 This has been made simpler and tidier now that we can use a `docs` directory within the repository to serve content.

 My current project at [Microserve][0] is a Drupal 8 website that uses the [Private Message][1] module for users to send messages to each other.
 
 In some cases though, the threads could contain hundreds of recipients so I decided that it would be good to queue the message requests so that they can be processed as part of a background process for better performance. The Private Message module does not include this, so I've written and released a separate [Private Message Queue][2] module.

 This week the latest minor version of Drupal 8, 8.5.0, was released.
 
 > This new version makes Media module available for all, improves migrations significantly, stabilizes the Content Moderation and Settings Tray modules, serves dynamic pages faster with BigPipe enabled by default, and introduces a new experimental entity layout user interface.

 I’ve been very impressed by the new release cycle Drupal 8 and the usage of semantic versioning. Though it adds a greater maintenance overhead for module, theme, installation profile and distribution developers to ensure that our projects are still working properly, having the ability to add new modules into Drupal core as well as new installation profiles like the [Unami demonstration profile][2] is pretty cool!
 
 For example, in addition to Unami, 8.5 alone adds media in core, two experimental modules have been marked as stable, an experimental new layout builder has been added and lots of PHP 7.2 improvements have been committed to make 8.5 fully PHP 7.2 compatible.

 Have you ever needed to have a 'special user' to perform tasks on your Drupal site, such as performing actions based on an API request, or for sending an internal site message?
 
 If you just create a new user, how do you identify that user going forward? Do you hard-code the 'magic' user ID in your custom code? What if the user has a different ID on different environments of your site? You could declare it in each environment’s settings file and retrieve it from there, but what then if you need to do the same on another site? That would mean some duplication of code - and something that could have been abstracted and re-used.
 
 I had to do this recently, and rather than just duplicate the code I decided to make it into it’s own module - which then became two modules.

 Since starting to work with Laravel as well as Drupal and Symfony, watching Adam Wathan’s [Refactoring to Collections][0] course as well as [lessons on Laracasts][6], I’ve become a fan of [Laravel’s Illuminate Collections][1] and the object-orientated pipeline approach for interacting with PHP arrays.
 
 In fact I’ve given a talk on [using Collections outside Laravel][2] and have written a [Collection class module][3] for Drupal 7.
