This is a basic introduction to the Webform module for Backdrop CMS. The Backdrop version is based upon the Webform module used for Drupal 7. It does not have all the features that have been added to the Drupal 8 version of Webform.

The Webform module is a tool that makes it relatively easy for site editors to create their own custom forms.

This module converts a date field or dates in the a text field to the users local time zone, based upon their browser detecting their time zone.

This is a pretty simple module, but the video is a bit long because of time spent explaining something about date formats and text filters, both of which are required to make this module work.

This is an experimental module (title shot has wrong name). I did a video to help generate feedback on this module as well as the possibility of getting this feature into Backdrop CMS core.

Now available for testing at: https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/layout_contextual_links

This video also shows how you can quickly add this module to a free DEMO site and BackdropCMS.org for testing.

We look forward to your feedback in the core issue queue:

Presented by Tim Erickson

The layout system in Backdrop CMS is a powerful tool for site builders and developers to position their content and customize their sites. Recently, Backdrop added flexible layout templates that allows users to create their own custom layout templates directly in the UI.

In Backdrop CMS site builders are able to assign specific layouts to each type of content or even to specific pieces of content and move specific fields (elements within each piece of content) to the region or their choice.

For those coming from Drupal 7, the layout system is a major change and requires some adjustment in thinking. We'll walk through the basics of how it works and how it compares with other CMS layout systems.

How to install the HAX and webcomponents modules into a Backdrop 1.x.x CMS site. Backdrop is a fork of Drupal 7 so porting both modules from Drupal to Backdrop was very easy. This talks a little bit about Backdrop and plays around with HAX and some of the more advanced concepts in Webcomponents module.

Yet another video illustrating that when we say these things work anywhere... they work anywhere.
