This week whilst trying to update one of our projects to the latest version of Drupal 8 core, we had some issues.
We use Composer to manage our dependencies, modules etc, and on this particular occasion, things weren't straightforward.
In order to solve it, we had to use some of the lesser known features of Composer, so decided to share.
Just a quick post to share a simple way to assert some markup is ordered correctly using BrowserTestBase
I recently joined PreviousNext and was soon getting acquainted with contributing to Drupal core and contrib projects. A big part of the contribution workflow is working with patch files in the issue queue, so I wrote this post to help anyone who wants to know about patching in Drupal.
Over the years we’ve embraced the idea of DevOps within our organisation. That is, bringing the developers closer to operations, and visa versa, to be more collaborative, embrace our agile processes, and become more efficient. When we designed Skipper, our Kubernetes-based container hosting platform, this was the focus of our attention.
At Drupal South 2016, I attempted to summarize some of my pain points with Drupal core.
The session 'At 16 years of age, does Drupal have an identity problem' is the result of this.

On a recent project a feature was requested to allow admins to launch some content within a modal window from the WYSWIYG on a Drupal 8 website. The goals were as follows:
This is how we accomplished it.
There has been some movement of late around adding some default content to the standard profile.
This was originally reignited by Roy Scholten in his getting something in the box post.
As author and co-maintainer of the default content module for Drupal 8, I wanted to share my thoughts on the potential of adding it to Drupal core.
A recent project involved the use of the Simple Hierarchical Select module to input category data for a particular content type. Simple Hierarchical Select provides a clean way of browsing hierarchical vocabularies to easily add taxonomy terms to nodes.
An initially tricky user interface problem to utilise this module with Search API and Views exposed filters was solved using a couple of Drupal 8 plugins and a bit of smart thinking!
