Join us for the April 2014 TC Drupal meetup on Wednesday April 23rd from 7-9PM at Intermedia Arts in Minneapolis.
Getting excited (or anxious) to learn more about what Drupal 8 will be like? Well, it turns out that TCDrupal dignitary Matthew Tift is the Drupal 8 configuration system co-maintainer and he's agreed to tell us all about it this month. See the full post for all the details about Matthew's talk, Community Lab Hours, where this all takes place, etc. etc.
Introducing the Drupal 8 Configuration System -- speaker: Matthew Tift
In Drupal 7 there is no good way to move configuration information between environments because modules store configuration data in different formats.
To help solve this problem, Drupal 8 has a new configuration management system that provides a central place for modules to store configuration data, from simple static data (e.g., site name) to more complex business objects (e.g., field definitions and image styles). This session will outline how to work with the new configuration system from a site building perspective. Topics will include:
- A high level overview of the system
- What it means to change configuration in Drupal 8
- How to deploy changes to another environment
- How to import those changes and make them active
- Advanced workflows using multiple environments
- How to avoid potential problem areas
- Where does Features fit in?
Community Lab Hours 5-7PM
Don't forget we're holding Community Lab Hours from 5-7PM right before the meetup in the same location. Come work on Drupal, get some help with your questions, share your ideas, get some stuff done!
