2018-02-08 10:00 - 12:00 America/Los_Angeles Organizers:
Event type:
User group meeting
We hope you can join us for the next meeting of the Spokane Drupal User Group!
- When
- Thursday, February 8, 2018, 10 AM to noon
We meet on the 2nd or 3rd Thursday of most months at this time/location. Log in and join the Spokane Drupal User Group (see sidebar on https://groups.drupal.org/spokane-wa ) to be notified of future meetings, events, and discussions (typically just a few email messages per month). - Where
- Spokane County Library - Argonne branch, 4322 N. Argonne Road, Millwood. We are currently meeting in the small conference room at the library. From the hallway, go into the library proper, past the checkout/information desk, take a right and you'll see the room on the right.
- To be reminded, sign up!
- To receive an email reminder closer to the date of the meeting, log in and click the "Sign up" button; log in and click "Cancel signup" at a later time if your schedule changes and you can no longer come. There's no obligation to come if you sign up (but we hope you will!). There's also no obligation to sign up in order to come (it's up to you if you want a reminder or not). However, the meeting could be canceled if the organizer isn't sure anyone is coming.
- What
- We spend two hours in a question and answer format, with the participants around a table and a laptop on a projector. Come with questions about a project you're working on, something you've learned that you'd like to share with others, a desire to improve Drupal in some way (documentation, programming, design, marketing etc.), or a desire to help others with their projects and questions. Or just come and listen and observe.
- Who
- Everyone is welcome -- the only prerequisite is having some interest in Drupal. This group is usually 5-10 friendly people, with experience levels ranging from novice to expert, so you'll fit right in. Because of the size of the group, you will have time to share something you've learned, or get your questions answered, or both!

Meeting notes
What we talked about today:
- DrupalCon Nashville - April 9-13 https://events.drupal.org/nashville2018
- BADCamp - Berkeley CA - Oct 24-27 https://groups.drupal.org/node/518097
- Could be just a web site that is mobile-friendly and looks like an app (mobile-friendly theme)
- Could be something that looks like an app but it is really just a web site -- one way to do that is to use phonegap project https://www.drupal.org/project/phonegap
- Could be a native mobile app that really is an app -- Drupal can supply data via web services, and the app can leverage all the native capabilities of the phone -- can use MIT App Inventor: http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ or Construct2 https://www.scirra.com
- MIT app inventor -- kind of simple, made for kids, but can't get too advanced
- Construct2 -- made for creating games, way more advanced, has free version and paid version
- Definition: A way for Drupal to provide data over the web
- In Drupal 8, the REST module is built-in to Core.
- In Drupal 7 there are several choices:
-- https://www.drupal.org/project/restws
-- https://www.drupal.org/project/services
- Several in the group have experience with this one:
https://www.drupal.org/project/views_slideshow
- We came across: https://www.drupal.org/project/slick
- Some of the session recordings worked and are available on their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkbrjPwaRcNSUngNfk-fO_A/videos
- The sessions can be found on the Summit web site, and most people should have uploaded their slides, and there should be videos embedded for the sessions that have them:
https://pnwdrupalsummit.org/2018
- At least watch the keynote:
https://pnwdrupalsummit.org/2018/sessions/keynote-drupal-9-and-backward-...
- An amusing talk about the Linux command line:
https://pnwdrupalsummit.org/2018/sessions/expecto-patronum-or-how-i-lear...
- Shawn really recommends watching this session on page speed -- which is really important because Google is going to use page load speed as a factor in its page rankings for search soon:
https://pnwdrupalsummit.org/2018/sessions/how-get-perfect-100-google-pag...
This is a way to test out Drupal and modules
- Drupal 6 or 7 to 8: You may be able to use the core Migrate system, but it will probably not completely work
- In principle you can migrate content-only, by using Views to export data and Feeds to import it, but Feeds really isn't working yet for Drupal 8
- Different block setups
- CSS classes on the body
- Even changing the theme
https://www.drupal.org/project/context -- looks like it has at least a Beta version for Drupal 8
- Some people like Panels for doing block layouts for different conditions -- https://www.drupal.org/project/panels

Info For Dianne
First example:
I thought you might like this because it is 100% css related:
https://codepen.io/raubaca/pen/PZzpVe
let me know if you need any further information. (Still looking for my other solution)
More for Dianne
Still not what I was looking for but similar:
https://www.drupal.org/project/jquery_ui_filter
https://www.drupal.org/project/jquery_plugin
So any theme that has these "libraries" (does not have to be module) will support that technology.
Last One
Drupal core has accordions built in, but it is not always on:
USE:
Fieldset title
Fieldset description
Fieldset content
Adding functionality:
In HTML -
In Theme (Better) -
function bartik_preprocess_html(&$variables) {
drupal_add_js('misc/form.js');
drupal_add_js('misc/collapse.js');
}
Or you can add to the theme.info file....
Hope this helps. See you all next Month.
Use code tag
You need to put the HTML code in your example into a CODE tag so that we can see the markup. :)

Weird... if someone replies
Weird... if someone replies to your post you can no longer edit it. How is this?
<fieldset class="collapsible collapsed"
<legend><span class="fieldset-legend"><a class="fieldset-title" href="#">
<span class="fieldset-legend-prefix element-invisible">Hide</span> Section Title</a><span class="summary"></span></span>
</legend>
<div class="fieldset-wrapper">Write Stuff</div>
</fieldset>
function bartik_preprocess_html(&$variables) {
drupal_add_js('misc/form.js');
drupal_add_js('misc/collapse.js');
}
