I write these lines (or I start them) just as I return from Drupal Day Spain 2019, which this year took place in the city of Zaragoza. I’m typing while I recreate in my head various anecdotes, details, conversations and above all, learning.

It has been a very enriching meeting and I liked it very much from a technical point of view, but now I want to write mainly about what has been my personal contribution to the encounter: an introduction workshop to the backend of Drupal 8.

Recently I returned to the habit of asking myself every morning “What did I do yesterday?” just at the beginning of the day, in time to find the connection with the sequence of tasks of the present day. Among the questions, to contextualize myself I used the command history and history |grep whatever again to extract by console the history of instructions of the previous day…and so I have been compiling some commands used daily.

Today I would like to play a little with the forms in Drupal 8 , taking advantage of them and walking around interesting concepts such as the injection of services (and services by themselves) or dynamic queries to database. That’s why today I’m thinking about a short and didactic exercise that integrates everything. If you are interested in Drupal 8 forms, the services and the Database API, read on…

The first thing I need to clarify is that we are not going to talk about “using links” in Drupal 8. We’re actually going to talk about how to build custom links in Drupal 8. Well, I wanted to write about this but because of the character limitation of the title string I used that form. So keep reading if you want to know how to build links programmatically in Drupal 8. Do you follow me?…

We know that for some years, working with Docker Engine has become a MUST. From our ability to define specifications(Dockerfiles), configure autobuilds in the cloud to generate images from our repositories(Dockerhub), run images and containers(Docker), connect containers and relate them(Docker-Composer) or deploy container networks( Docker Swarm) … on this depends the agility that we can give to our daily work.

“European Commission DIGIT initiative fostering open source adoption in consolidating the European Institutions web presence”…ummm what is this? I want to share -briefly- the process of installing a platform based on Drupal 8.

I always (or almost always) had worked on Drupal projects with the same stack of versions, so I only had one environment set up. Then, I started to have different versions (Drupal 6.x, Drupal 7 … 8) at the same time for diverse projects and then I started playing with Docker. But now I have discovered ddev and a new game has started.

The previous Tuesday I was practicing with JavaScript and using console.log() to show data (nothing serious, if it was important I had used breakpoints, of course :-P), and in an outflow of extensive information, I remembered a nice way to organize it visually: You could give color and shape to the information displayed through console.log().

I would like to write down a quick and little trick to get information from an HTML - based web view through Javascript. It’s a useful tip for those who work daily with web technologies and want to do element listings or maybe locate a specific element within the DOM

I have been working with Drupal 7 recently and I have done configuration and development tasks for projects based on Drupal 7: projects of work (consultancy) and other tasks for Drupal modules on which I am working in my free time. I would like to make a collection of snippets and ideas that I have implemented recently (some of which I have not done for a long time) and to register here. Maybe it will help someone at some point who needs to do the same things.

This week the local group Drupal Sevilla -the community of people interested in Drupal living and working from Seville (Andalusia, Spain)- has met and we have done a retrospective on the cycle of activities developed to date, taking advantage of the last appointment before Of summer to review and prepare ideas for the new course that will begin in September.

A few days ago I attended a talk given by Esperanza Moreno @mimina, architect, researcher and developer. She’s developing applications that allows connect musical files (metadata) with renderings and musical remixes, a visual and auditory show called “Antropoloops”, a quite powerful cultural project. See their website

Hi to everyone! I’m working on a personal website for technical stuff, out of the corporative site and other blogs where I write content in spanish. I have found this piece of software with easy setting and deployment options from Github, from a fork of a repository for light websites with Jekyll and some gems over Ruby, so I’ll try. A bit of Vim, Git in local and push to Github.
