Using the Color Module

The Color module is a powerful tool for making themes reusable across many sites, but it can often be very confusing.

I will be doing a short presentation where I will go over how the Color module works and showing how to integrate it with a theme and how to use it when making a subtheme. After that, we can answer questions and discuss ideas about how to improve it in the future.

 

Writing tests for Backdrop

Testing is an important part of the development process for Backdrop. Every new feature added to core needs to have a test to make sure that it does not get accidentally broken by changes in the future.

In this session, I will be going over the basics of how Backdrop's testing framework, Simpletest, operates and how to make a basic test for your own code. After that, we can go over any questions you may have or discuss problems people have run into in the past.

Generate Site Backups and Static Sites with WGET and Backdrop

WGET is a command line tool for retrieving web content. It makes it easy for us to take site backups, or generate static site content from a URL.

In this hands-on session we will get familiar with using WGET to:

  • generate a site backup
  • create static site pages from a local website or a www hosted website

We encourage you to come to this session with your computer. All you will need is a terminal program so you can access the command line. If even that is too much, you can just attend and follow the discussion!
