Entity API

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

This is a discussion group for people developing with the Entity API of Drupal 7 or making the entity API for Drupal 8 shine.

Entity Types vs Content Types?!

Hi All,

I'm in the process of building a genealogy site on Drupal 7, with Organic Groups in order to have many family trees, each contained in an Album(OG). Speaking in database terms, the content is represented by a range of entities (also see attachment):

  1. Album - using OG, which "contains" all these other entities:
  2. Family
  3. Individual
  4. Event
  5. Place
  6. Story
  7. Citation
  8. Source
  9. Repository

I want to build an Entity of a Content type I created with Field Collections.

The correct thing to do is turn it into an Entity?

WSCCI Web Services Format Sprint Report

A small team met in Paris at the office of Commerce Guys from June 3-5th to discuss Drupal's web services serialization and syndication format needs. In short, "OK, we are going to have all of this fun new routing capability, now what do we do with it?" More specifically, how do we go about serializing Drupal data for consumption by remote programs (either other Drupal sites as in the case of content staging, other non-Drupal sites, client-side applications, or mobile apps), and what protocols and APIs do we make available to manipulate that data?

In attendance were:

The raw notes from the sprint are available as a Google Doc, but as usual are rather disjoint and likely won't make sense if you weren't there. A more complete report is below.

IRC cloaks

Please add your IRC nick and drupal.org user id below if you want a drupal IRC cloak. We want to hand it to people who have some idea about how the Drupal community works. So here are three possible ways to decide that:

  • Common sense (I.E. any well known member of the community for which cloak eligibility would be blatantly obvious)
  • Have a full, non-sandbox project, link to it.
  • Has at least two eligible people vouch for them.
