Paid contributing to Drupal

Published on Thu, 31/01/2019 - 12:31

Starting this year, I have the opportunity to contribute to Drupal and get paid for it. While I've had sponsored time in the past, this time it's recurring: Dropsolid is paying me a day a month to work on Drupal core or contrib. 1 day is limited, however, make no mistake, even one day is useful to get into the queue and review issues or commit patches on contrib modules I maintain. And of course, I credit them in the issue queue.

Send me a webmention with Drupal!

After months of reading, experimenting and a lot of coding, I'm happy that the first release candidate of the Drupal IndieWeb module is out. I guess this makes the perfect time to try it out for yourself, no? There are a lot of concepts within the IndieWeb universe, and many are supported by the module. In fact, there are 8 submodules, so it might be daunting to start figuring out which ones to enable and what they exactly allow you to do.

Lately, Mastodon is getting a lot of attention as an alternative for Twitter. It's a microblogging platform which allows you to setup your own instance, and still interact with users on a totally different domain.

It's official: I'm not going to perform the complete Moonlight Sonata this year. I'm not giving up the dream though, it will just take a little longer. The main reason for the delay is simply time, so I need to come up with a plan to make sure I have more time next year to study the entire piece. Hopefully, more on that later.

Exclude entities which have a redirect from the search api index

Published on Mon, 03/09/2018 - 14:27

For a custom project, we use a taxonomy to tag nodes. Some terms have their own page, while others redirect to a node. The search on the site has one index which contains both nodes and terms, but the terms which are redirecting shouldn't show up when viewing a search results page. While it's possible to use hook_search_api_index_items_alter(), a nicer way to exclude them is by using a processor plugin so you can enable them in the UI per index. The relevant code is underneath. Adjust to your own likings - and maybe inject the service if you want to as well :)
