HTML5

Welcome to the Drupal HTML5 Group

html5+drupal logo

This is a discussion and working group for anyone interested in implementing HTML5 markup and API's in Drupal. We are working on several projects to provide HTML5 support for Drupal 7, and pushing to get HTML5 native markup and form elements into Drupal 8 core.

HTML5 Tools is a module for overriding what core is doing. http://drupal.org/project/html5_tools
It works with the Elements module. http://drupal.org/project/elements
HTML5 Base is a base theme for creating HTML5 themes. http://drupal.org/project/html5_base
Semantic Views can help you control the markup of your Views. http://drupal.org/project/semanticviews

Going to DrupalCon Chicago? Look out for a core conversation about getting HTML5 into core, and for code sprints to help with the work. And wear a HTML5 t-shirt on the day of the core conversation to show your support.

All New CSS coding standards up for discussion!

Posted by johnalbin on January 15, 2013 at 8:56pm

Over 4 years ago, Alan Burke noticed that Drupal didn't have any CSS coding standards. He asked the documentation team lead at the time, Addison Berry, for advice and she suggested that if they wrote the first draft of the CSS coding standards, that would get the ball rolling on discussing them. The goal being to write, iterate and come to consensus on Drupal’s coding standards. See http://groups.drupal.org/node/14421 for the original discussion.

Unfortunately, its 4 years later and the CSS coding standards are still marked “Draft”. http://drupal.org/node/302199

Drupal 8 and HTML5 web applications

Posted by user654 on January 13, 2013 at 5:30pm

Hi,
I would like to ask if with Drupal 8 you will be able to create HTML5 applications for the new OS like Firefox OS,Ubuntu mobile OS,Tizen etc.
It seems that the future of mobile applications are HTML5 web apps,so what is the role of Drupal 8 on this one?
thanks

Year end Drupal 8 Mobile Initiative Status

Posted by johnalbin on December 13, 2012 at 5:14pm

Hi all,

Last week's meeting was cancelled because I was sick and this week's meeting is, unfortunately, going to be cancelled too as I'll be attending a funeral back in the US. (I live in Taiwan.)

But, we will be revving things up to 11 the first week in January with 2 world-wide meetings (1 for US/Europe/Africa and 1 for India/Asia/Pacific). We'll be finishing up making all the admin forms work on mobile and REWRITING ALL THE CSS IN CORE. Stay tuned for details.

And have a happy holidays!

Responsive Drupal.org: A Sass and Susy framework

Posted by lewisnyman on June 12, 2012 at 7:38pm

Previously, we had a friendly discussion on what we could use as a responsive layout framework for Drupal.org. Rupl, Banghouse, and myself played around with a lot of the options discussed in that post to work out which would be a good fit for us. Snugug also volunteered to help us out with technical questions and implementation.

We ended up deciding that using a Sass framework solves a lot of our problems, specially Susy. Implementing this framework is no small feat. We wrote a little summary of the Sass, Compass, and Susy implementation.

How can we improve frontend sprints at Drupal events?

Posted by lewisnyman on December 5, 2014 at 9:48am
Last updated by lewisnyman on Wed, 2015-01-07 12:36

At DrupalCamp Ghent, we held a very small frontend BOF, with myself, Laurii, Emma.maria, and guest frontender Xano.

It quickly became a retrospective on the Friday sprints that took place at DrupalCon Amsterdam. The collective thoughts were not positive. It felt like we fell way short of our goals and potential for the Friday sprint. Drupalcon Friday sprints are about introducing people to sprinting and it feels like we failed badly at that.

Here were some of the problems:

Newbies did not get enough help
The few people helping the newbies did not get enough support

As part of the Drupal.org code sprint in Portland; Chris Ruppel, Joel Moore and myself have been discussing a new Bluecheese. A lean, tight, and admin friendly theme that lays out a framework for the future. One that would allow us to develop a mobile friendly, responsive design.

Call for prototypers

Last updated by Noyz on Tue, 2012-04-03 14:24

If you have development chops, designers and other contributors of this community need your help bringing designs to life.

Allow me to paint a picture of the need and skills required...

The task of creating content has been redesigned (http://groups.drupal.org/node/217434), and has reached a point of consensus. At this point, the design really needs to interactive to flush out how all of the various interactions will work (or don't). Additionally, once made interactive, we validate the direction by testing the prototype with end users.

HTML5 Myths

Posted by jensimmons on February 2, 2011 at 4:13am
Last updated by chrisrcooper on Mon, 2015-05-04 16:08

(Let's create a Myth versus Fact document to answer reoccurring concerns about HTML5 and Drupal. Anyone can edit this document and provide answers. HEAVY rewriting is welcome at this stage!)

=====

Myth: HTML5 is not done, we should wait until it's done before implementing it in Drupal.

Fact: Most of HTML5 is dividable in 3 different groups: "it just works", "degrades by default", and "some effort required". See http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/html5-levels for additional information.

Helping with html5_tools Module for Drupal 7.x

Posted by ericduran on January 22, 2011 at 6:27pm
Last updated by ericduran on Sat, 2011-01-22 18:33

At 1st we're starting to make cck widgets for every html5 elements.

We already have the number field in the html5_tools.module file and you can use that as a base for starting the other fields.

If you're interested in what new fields are available take a look at the elements module code, there is not support for email, number, url, color, and range.

Declaring a new widget type.
/** * Implements hook_field_widget_info(). */ function html5_tools_field_widget_info() { return array( 'numberfield' => array( // Machine name of the widget.
