Thursday, April 18 - 6:30-8:30PM
University of Waterloo, Hagey Hall rm 119.
For this month's meetup, Megan McDermott (that's me!) will show some work in progress on a website for an academic conference. The site uses the Event Platform module as a starting point. I'll demo that module out of the box, and then show some changes we're making for this project.
Next, we'll take a look at setting up a theme with Single Directory Components (SDC) . SDC are now stable in Drupal core! This part of the presentation will cover:
- What are SDC?
- Why use SDC?
- Differences & similarities between SDC and pattern libraries (Storybook)
- How to set it up
Finally, if we still have some time, I'll show some super-cool newly supported advanced CSS stuff.
**If you would be interested in attending this meetup remotely, please leave a comment here or contact me at megan@woolwichweb.works. We would consider trying a hybrid format if there is interest.
Comments
I am going to try and attend
I am going to try and attend this one but it's a 70 km journey for me each way and things change at the last minute. So, an offline option would be great as a backup for me.
I've had another person
I've had another person asking about an online option so I think we will set up a zoom link and record it. I'll post that here a few hours before.
Hope to see you there, one way another!

Will there be a recording made?
I won't be able to attend (even online). If the talks were to be recorded (via Zoom), I would love to be able to watch afterwards.

Recording link
Thanks to everyone who came out last night, either virtually or in person! Good thing we had the Zoom link set up! The A/V setup didn't work in the room we had so we all ended up watching on Zoom.
Here is the recording link:

I hope that SDC section made some sense!
If we decide to keep doing this maybe we'll set up a YouTube channel.

A few updates...
A couple of things I was wrong about:
I almost put in some Post CSS into this theme to generate a file for the CK Editor Styles. I deliberated a bit over whether it was necessary just for that, and ended up deciding just to make it manually. I just need some basic typography and a couple of other things in there anyway. With native nesting it was pretty easy just to put all that inside the .ck-content selector.
(for anyone who isn't familiar with this - you can set up a CSS file to apply in CKEditor, so editors will see your native site styles when they are editing. This needs to be scoped to the ckeditor so it doesn't apply to the entire admin theme. This is especially useful when you want to allow some custom styles in CKEditor, and want editors to see them as they will appear on the site)
And sorry if some of this was really high level - if there's interest we could do a session on general front-end/css techniques sometime.

Oops, double post. That submit action is a tad slow...
