Drupal 7 - Workflow improvement for settings.php

Handling the multiple copies of Drupal's settings.php file needed for each site, between the development, staging, and live environments, can be a bit of a hassle. Database settings and other configurations almost always vary from environment to environment so having a simple way to manage these differences would be fantastic. Always on the look out for work-flow improvements, I had heard about this gem at DrupalCon Denver in March but had yet to implement it in any of my projects.

Drupal with Virtual Hosts

Everybody's development environment is unique to them: some use Vim while others may use Dreamweaver or Notepad, some develop on a Mac while others use a PC or Linux box. The tools you use, by and large, should speed up delivery and increase the quality of your finished product. Your technology toolbox should always be growing as you learn about and add new possibilities for making your life easier.

Drupal 7 - Simple Settings and Configs

Creating content types for pleasure and fun sometimes means that you need to have fields populated with data when first presented to the author during node creation. This functionality usually involves two things: someplace to create/modify those default values and injecting that value into your node creation forms. For this example, we're going to create a simple content type with a title, body, and an extra textfield and we'll populate that textfield with a value we specified using a settings form we added to our very own configurations section.

Drupal 7 - Making Your Own Tokens

According to the Drupal API:

Tokens are placeholders that can be put into text by using the syntax [type:token], where type is the machine-readable name of a token type, and token is the machine-readable name of a token within this group.

Drupal 7 - Adding Vocabularies and Terms

In a couple of the Simple Content Type examples we have done so far there has been a required helper module which creates and adds a vocabulary with some terms using the Taxonomy module. Creating vocabularies and terms through code is a fairly straightforward process. We will use two hooks and several helper functions to handle all the lifting.
