Drupal 8 Page Manager

Tim Plunkett recently created a new project for Drupal 8 - Page Manager, which looks set to be the replacement for what was the Page Manager module in CTools from D7.

From the project page:

How to add xmlns attribute for Facebook in Adaptivetheme

This is a "how to" article which describes how to add the Facebook xmlns:fb attribute to the html element.

Normally you would probably hard code something like this in html.tpl.php, however in Adaptivetheme we can push this into a variable in preprocess, thus removing the requirement for a template override and making this a two second copy'n'paste sort of thing.

Hide or Show Drupal Blocks in Mobile

As an adjunct to my recent spate of supporting mobile device contexts using Browscap, and as a compliment to the recently released Browscap CTools module, I knocked out a similar module for hiding and showing Drupal blocks in mobile - Browscap Block.

This module leverages Browscap for device detection and requires it as a dependency.

Social Network Links with Drupal 7, Views and Link

Recently I thought about building a social networking module that allowed you to upload an icon, paste in your link and voilà - instant social network links in a block.

Turns out there already exists a few modules in this space and to be frank I don't think we really need yet another Drupal social networking module. However none of the modules really suited my requirments so I turned to Drupal core fields and Views to see if I could build this with no code and just a bit of configuration.

OK, so the requirements for this are pretty simple:

Move or hide regions and blocks in mobile devices

Most of us are painfully aware that Mobile Tools is not ready for Drupal 7 at this time, which leaves us kind of stuck for a general solution for controlling region and block visibility in mobile browsers. After the 476'th feature/support request for this in Adaptivetheme 7.x-3.x I finally relented and at the eleventh hour (its about to be released as stable), I added these features, and more, to be precise.

OK, in a nutshell, you can (via theme settings)...

Mobile First Design with Adaptivetheme

This article will delve into mobile first responsive web design - what it is and how you can execute mobile first design using the tools provided by Adaptivetheme 7.x-3.x. I will assume you know something about theme or front end development and probably have a reasonable grasp of Drupal theming concepts and responsive web design.
