CSS Reset

Submitted by daniel on

This is a simple module that adds a CSS Reset at a module level. One benefit of this appoach is that the 'reset' can be loaded before other modules that include some css etc. This means that the 'reset' should only normalise the user agent's styles and not styles that have been defined in other core and contributed modules that may be loaded by Drupal before the theme layer.

File Managed Alter

Submitted by daniel on

This is simple utility module that enables you to increase the length of the 'uri' field used by the 'file_managed' table which is in turn used by Drupal's 'file' entity. This module increases the maximum length from varchar(255) to varchar(2048).

Migrate Process Extract Regex

Submitted by daniel on

Migrate Process Extract Regex

This module provides a Migrate process plugin to enable you to parse and extract a $needle (string) from a $haystack (string). This will either return

$match[1] or the orignal $haystack if no match is found.

Use Case

This migrate_process_extract_regex module is useful where developers are handling remote images with the remote_steam_wrapper module. Sometimes remote media assets (pictures etc.) do not contain a valid query string and will fail to import.

Migrate Process Remote Image Check

Submitted by daniel on

This module provides a Migrate process plugin to enable you to check whether a migrated remote image url/string is in fact a valid address for a media asset such as an image. It does this by requesting each image and see if it returns a valid response.

If this fails, it will attempt to remove any query string to that has been appended to an image to see if removing this helps to generate a successful response.

If the response is not ok, it will fallback to using an empty string so as to avoid any exceptions when trying to migrate the remote image asset.

Prevent Drupal Scaffolding overriding development services when working with Drupal

Submitted by daniel on

When working on Drupal it is often useful to change your local development.services.yml to enable certain development features and make debugging your application easier.

e.g. This is basically taken from default.services.yml file with certain parameters changed to provide a more friendly development environment, depending on what you are working on. This can be adjusted to suit but hopefully will give you an idea. Notice how this gives us the ability to override various parameters and services to suit.
