Lesson #39: Flexifilter, the most awesome thing to hit Drupal since the potato

Flexifilter has arrived! This lesson, taught by myself and Corsix, will introduce this awesome new module. For those of you who haven't yet heard, the flexifilter module, a GHOP task done by Corsix, is a module to allow non-coders to easily create custom filters entirely through the user interface. It also exposes a hook to other modules, so that anything it can't do on its own (which is very little) can be provided by other modules. This presentation will introduce this awesome, exciting, revolutionary new module and its API.

The first half of the session will be devoted to explaining the user interface, including how to create several basic custom filters with it. This will be aimed more at the site administrator, explaining the "how to administer" section.

The second half of the session will be devoted to explaining the API, including how to implement its hooks, covering both conditions and components, which are the basic building blocks of the module. This will be aimed more at coders, explaining the "how to code" section.

No matter what your level of experience with Drupal or flexifilter, there is something you can learn at this session. It starts at 2 eastern us time, 7 gmt.
