Javascript

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

All you Javascript crazed developers out there, this is the group for you.

Drupal is in need of some usability improvements and after a few meetings and a lot of discussion, it is now time to take advantage of our new JQuery library in Drupal.

Expressa - Drupal Backend Alternative

I wanted to shared with my Drupal friends a project that I've been working on. It's a backend (heavily inspired by Drupal) that exposes a REST api and has an editor which lets you modify your schema (like content types) and content without coding.

https://github.com/thomas4019/expressa

It also has a permissions model with roles much like Drupal. It's been really useful for me when I need to create a site API using an online editor, but also want high performance. I'm really curious what you think of it and I hope it can be useful to some of you.

Alternative Drupal Implementation in Node.js or other languages?

Has anyone thought about or done any work on doing an implementation of Drupal in a different language? I'm thinking of something that can use the same MySQL database and probably has the same front-end ui. I have really liked Drupal and I feel its data model with fields and such is great, but I think PHP is really holding it back and making it unnecessarily slow and complicated.

DrupalCon Austin Behavior Driven Development (BDD) Community Sprint

Start: 
2014-05-31 (All day) - 2014-06-01 (All day) America/Indiana/Indianapolis
Organizers: 
Event type: 
Sprint

One of the biggest gaps in Drupal development ecosystem is client-side feature and behavior testing. We have Simpletest for Drupal 7 and Simpletest with ever-growing unit test coverage in Drupal 8. But the client-side code lacks appreciable test coverage.

We have already made considerable progress towards the goal of complete front end test coverage. Over months and years of discussions, we have settled on Behat as the testing framework and Gherkin as the language to describe the feature testing scenarios.

Client side test in Drupal -- let's figure this out

Much of our front end testing effort has gone into the TestSwarm module (the platform) and the Frontend Automated Tests module (the tests).

Having written several tests now, I've come to the following conclusions:

ul>

  • We have better tools at our potential disposal to allow non-technical folks (UX, documentation, etc) to define what behaviors they expect from a feature; later a technical person can translate this description in to tests.

    I need a jQuery expert to help me solve a conflict between two scripts

    Hello everyone, I need a developer who can help me solve a conflict and a java script error I get, when combining two JS scripts using jquery libraries, in the homepage of a drupal 7 installation.

    In several years building Drupal websites, I never had to outsource anything and I could always fix my issues alone, (not without tons of research and effort) but this time I'm not finding a workaround or solution, so I need help asap. I have no idea how much this could cost, but I'm hoping it's something simple that can be fixed quickly for somebody knowledgeable in the languages.

    Spark: WYSIWYG editors evaluation — call for feedback!

    For the Spark project, we're looking for a WYSIWYG editor. It must work well on mobile devices, hence HTML5 is pretty much a necessity. A WYSIWYG editor still involves a lot of JavaScript, so solid JavaScript is also important.

    However, for the Spark project, the WYSIWYG goal is somewhat different than the "typical" WYSIWYG goal. We're looking for a "true WYSIWYG" editor, which we can define as a WYSIWYG that matches all CSS selectors identically like the eventual document would.
