Drupal Planet

In our first post that announced the new Mediacurrent redesign, we looked at the evolution of Mediacurrent.com over the years and talked through the over goals of the relaunch. Now let's take a look under the hood to see some of the cool stuff we did and discuss what our development team learned along the way.

Since joining Mediacurrent in 2009, I've seen firsthand how our company has grown and evolved, and how our website has mirrored those changes. Today, I am thrilled to announce the launch of our newly redesigned website, mediacurrent.com.

We've come a long way since 2007!

I've previously explained why automated tests should be written for Drupal. and I've shown how to add tests for a Drupal 7 module, now we'll look at how to add a test for a Drupal 8 module.

Note: In the interest of making this a standalone article, much of the same verbose explanations will be repeated from the previous article.

It’s a little late in the day (year?), so here’s a roundup of what we got up to last October.

Not sure what this whole "patch" thing is? Have a core change that you can't quite finish? Running into a problem with a contrib module, or a theme, or a 3rd party library, and not sure how to fix it? New to maintaining a module and unsure of what to do next? Wondering how to get your module through the security opt-in process? Is your project's issue queue getting you down? Join us every Thursday at noon EST for the Mediacurrent Contrib Half Hour where we'll be available to help solve contrib challenges.

As the (Northern hemisphere's) summer came to a close, and those of us with children started to get ready for another school year, we eked out some good work during the month.

A question that regularly comes up from our clients is: is it worth changing our site to use Apache Solr for the site's search or should we stick with the site's build in search?

As crazy random happenstances occur, this July saw more people taking time for vacationing, being ill and attending conferences in any single month than we’d had before, excluding DrupalCon months of course. That said, we still managed to squeeze in some good contributions.

With summer in full swing here in the USA, some of us were taking some vacation time, or moving, so our contributions were a little low.

With DrupalCon over, many of us were heavily focused on client work for the month. Thankfully, we have many great clients that are eager to help push the Drupal project forward.
