The Musa in situ project, led jointly by CIRAD and Bioversity, collects data on Musaceae around the world, in the wild or in the closest to natural growing conditions. The main purpose is to obtain an as precise as possible picture of the natural geographical diversity of Musaceae.
For CIRAD and Bioversity, I created a new Drupal 7 module to import biological data from a Chado database using Migrate. It requires the Tripal module, a project which offers an integration between a Chado database and Drupal.
I had already mentioned the way I work with Drupal 7. Having lately begun to adopt Drupal 8 for good, I hereby review my current workflow.
As with Drupal 7, I keep relying on an installation profile per project. See my Fonamental installation profile. The branch we are interested in is 8.x-1.x.
The Availability Calendars is quite frequently used by organizations providing accomodation, or for material renting.
Montpellier is on the way to becoming the centre of the Drupal world, for the second time in less than a year! From April 13th till the end of the week, will take place the 2015 edition of the Drupal Developer Days, which is an event on a European scale. Res Telæ takes delight in sponsoring this new event.
I introduced yesterday in Montpellier the base theme Zen 5 for Drupal 7. It has been, first of all, the opportunity to go over some points concerning the Drupal layout engine again (theme, process and preprocess functions, and templates), and secondly to linger over the new Zen version incorporated tools, in particular SASS (a preprocessor for a more efficient CSS development) and Compass, on which Zen Grids is based, a set of macros SASS (or "mixins") allowing an efficient use of the grid.
