Drupal IDE

We as website developers juggle several languages, a host of markup models and files that all need to be put to together to create the Drupal experience for our users.

Many of us have spent countless hours finding, and setting up our own development environments. In the spirit of sharing and collaboration, this group focuses on finding and providing tips, config files and best practice advice about IDEs for Drupal web development.

Checking Coding Standards In NetBeans

Just wanted to share this little gem I found with the other Netbeans users out there:

http://www.amaxus.com/cms-blog/coding-standards-netbeans-php-codesniffer

It's a plugin for Netbeans that allows you to run Php_CodeSniffer from within Netbeans. I've been using it today with the DrupalCS standards library (http://drupal.org/project/drupalcs ) and it works pretty well. There's a couple little glitches, but it ends up catching about 99% of the stuff.

Also there's another version in development here:

What's your process for change management for migration of very large drupal installations?

Hello everyone,

I have been "messing" with drupal for a while now, and have now taken my first job as a 100% committed Drupal developer & tech lead for a company that builds massive websites for large federal initiatives that involve dense structures, complex role management schemes, and mountains of content (often 10,000+ nodes).

So, one of my first tasks as we get started is to work with the site building team and sys admins to create a solid process for performing migrations from dev >>> staging, sometimes staging >>> dev, and, of course, the eventual staging >>> production.

Quickstart and Ubuntu 11.10 - Don't upgrade

Hello,

I've been trying to keep Quickstart versions in sync with Ubuntu's release cycle, and now that Ubuntu 11.10 is out, we're up for a new version.

The short version is, I don't recommend upgrading to 11.10, without making a snapshot you can roll-back to.

It may be some time before a major new version of Quickstart comes out. For newer users, I might download all the updates for the 1.0 version, and turn off the "Upgrade to 11.10" button and release it as version 1.1.

Drupal Development Tool For Netbeans 7

I have just released a module for Netbeans to aid in Drupal Development. The module is available on Github (full source included).

The module is just starting out as I re-teach myself Java. I have put together documentation on it here. I do have future features planned on the module as I get the time, but right now it really does help with development. You can also customize the module through a custom template system.

TextMate Bundle - Drupal Module Statistics

https://github.com/markcarver/Drupal-Module-Statistics

This bundle originally started out as a way to simply count LOC, but is starting to turn into much more. It currently features:pleasant HTML output, LOC for files and total module, files sizing and automatic updates. It's a pretty straight forward install, just download the bundle and double click it, it should install in your TextMate seamlessly. By default, the shortcut key is COMMAND + CONTROL + M.

I'm pretty excited about some visual feedback when developing modules. Please let me know what ya think, enjoy! :)

TextMate plugin to instant filter your project files

Hey all,

Just wanted to announce a TextMate plugin that I altered on github for easier file navigation.

When you open a folder in TextMate, a drawer with a navigator appears. The MissingDrawer plugin (https://github.com/jezdez/textmate-missingdrawer) promotes the drawer into a dedicated view that sits next to the text editor. You can show/hide the sidebar, and switch the sidebar's location also. Other commands are available in View > Project Drawer, and you can go to TextMate's preferences to customize colors and the Terminal button.

Quickstart 1.0 now mirrored by OSU's Open Source Lab!

Great news! Oregon State University's Open Source Lab has started mirroring the Quickstart downloads. This means:

1) no more need for bittorrent :-)
2) no more fretting about download bandwidth costs

I just changed the links on the Quickstart home page to point to OSU OSL's mirrors.

This is a great help to the project, and frees me up to focus on Quickstart. Special thanks to Killes, Jeff_S, and Lance at OSU, Michelle for introducing the project, and Sil for getting me off my ass to improve the download process :-)

Drupal and Checkstyle

I'm working on integrating Jenkins with my development workflow, and I want to use Jenkin's checkstyle plugin to make sure my code follows drupal's coding standards. Is there a checkstyle configuration out there already for drupal's coding standards?

Eclipse Drupal Project

I am an experienced Eclipse Java and Mingw/C developer. I installed quickstart. I created a site, but I do not know how to create an Eclipse project and point it at the created site.

Does anyone use Eclipse with Drupal?
Can you help?

Sublime Text 2

Similar to Textmate, but cross platform and under active development, I recently stumbled across Sublime Text 2.

On a quick google search for drupal and sublime, I got this page which has a Drupal6 autocompletion file all set for use with Sublime.

http://tanc.me/blog/2011/drupal-autocomplete-file-sublime-text-2

Sublime Text 2 is still in the alpha phase, thus not feature complete by any means. Though it is stable apparently, with new releases coming out about once a week. The trial period is indefinite, though it is a paid for program (not sure as to the cost of it).

Configuring phpmyadmin to show Drupal 7 BLOB data

Hi,

This took me a bit to figure out and I thought I'd share it. Hopefully someone else finds it useful.

Drupal 7 serializes php data into long-blob fields, instead of just saving strings like in D6. This is great, because now D7 can store and retrieve arrays, not just strings. Hurray!

Unfortunately, out-of-the-box phpMyAdmin does not show this data as text, it just shows [BLOB - 14B]. Meh!

Drupal Ruble For Aptana Studio 3.0

The upcoming version 3 of Aptana has a new feature in it called "rubles". These are very similar to TextMate bundles in adding a scripting nature to the IDE. In an attempt to learn this new system, I have created a ruble for Drupal 7. The ruble is in it's early infancy. Right now it works for adding in core Drupal hooks. As I become more familiar with the system and Ruby, as well as Aptana finishing the features of rubles before the final release, I will be adding more features to it, including:

  • Theme support
  • Module and theme creation support
  • FAPI and Menu support

Quickstart 0.8 released

Hello,

For your coding pleasure, we present: Quickstart 0.8 (bittorrent link).

Quickstart is a downloadable virtual machine, containing a pre-configured Ubuntu Linux PHP development environment. Develop and debug LAMP natively, on any computer, without hassle.

QS 0.8 includes updates and bug fixes to QS 0.7. If you're already using QS 0.7, below is a script that will make the bug fixes.

QS 0.8 was also used to make the HOWTO videos on the Quickstart YouTube channel: step debugging, performance profiling, simple email debugging, etc.

What's next for the project? Not quite sure, but I'd love some feedback on how it's being used, and what features or HOWTO videos would be useful.

I hope you find it useful, and thanks for whatever you do for open source,

Mike
