Meetings and Meet-ups
- Awww poor me, I didn't get to any meetings this week. See you all next week.
Code Contributions
When you get excited, it's easy to get a lot of work done. This week I spent about half of my time finishing out the KeyNav module to get it into enough of a state to tag a 1.0.0 release for it. MISSION COMPLETE!
What did this mean?
- Add enough commands to cover all the
/node/addpages so we can easily add nodes of various types, such as:lgdnan= add a new pagelgdgo= add a guide overview pagelgde= add an event page- and so on
- Create a
composer.jsonfile and submit the module to Packagist so we can easily download it via composer. - Create a settings form so individual websites can create their own keyboard shortcuts and/or override the defaults provided.
- Add a help page so we can have inline documentation for people.
- Wrote a blog post/video on how to use the module.
After that large piece of work, I got down to some smaller tasks, such as:
- We have a few typos in our demo content which give links to our docs site, but actually the links just go to localgovdrupal.org instead. They are fixed now.
- It's typo season! I had 2 typos in the
LocalGov Keynavmodule, which are now also fixed, and a new release for the module created. - Reviewing the work of others in preparation for Merge Tuesday. If you ever want to help out with this, here's the list of unapproved PRs we have.
- We don't have a consistent way to work with an "Admin role" in LGD, as we don't ship with one. We now have a module to create a role called
localgov_adminand assign that as the admin role. Existing sites can simply enable the module to get the functionality and we have a PR for it to be installed by default for all new sites. Update: this is now merged and available when you update your LGD site.
