From YouTube: Backdrop Weekly Mar 8th

Description

Today’s development agenda: http://bit.ly/2F8tg16

A

All right, we are on air, happy, March, 8, March, 8 everybody. This isn't waiting to check in on active development tasks for back down CMS.

A

Before we get into tasks quick update from the PMC, we have a signed agreement with fastly for sponsorship, they've, basically great to cover um a wild card domain for us, so anything got back. I've seen must at work, which is great, and we have an allocation of a certain number of dollars that we can use per year, which vastly exceeds probably anything. We could possibly imagine at current rates, which is fantastic, but should we all of a sudden end up being super popular? We will need to keep an eye on that in the future.

A

Okay. So next steps for that are we need to port the fastly module from Drupal backdrop and get it set up on backdrop, CMS org, APA, effective CMS, org and the forum site and put the Drupal fastly module on the localized site until the local isit gets moved back jar?

A

Okay, that's it for PMC updates in the world of contributed projects. There are two new contribs in slack node, revision, history and entity. You I think stock well, not for working on those and anyone else, and we have been involved and there a couple of new releases to existing factor projects, including YouTube field, an iframe filter. So thanks everybody who worked on us next up website development tasks on backdrops, EMS org. We are currently updating the module schemes and layout section I. Think since last week the only change was the addition of the add-ons page.

A

So if anybody goes to backup CMS org, you can now see we have top only five top-level menu items about showcase add-on, support and news and under add-on. So we now have modules, themes and layouts, um but there's a new backdrop, add-ons page, which is just some content that I made up last week. If anybody wants to recommend improvements to that page, I'm all ears, we're also working on improving modules, themes and layouts pages, but those are not ready for primetime. Yet so we'll talk about them.

A

Probably next week or whenever they're ready um the forum site, we have been requested to add a search box which will we will do. We also need to integrate styling of the search result pages which hasn't been done yet so that'll be added and committed to the Borg theme, which means also work for the API se and the made backed up CMS to work site. So if we want search on either of those, we can do that as well. The mean API site has a it.

A

Doesn't it searches a little different all it does a autocomplete on function, names and then, if there's no match it falls back and does a search. So the search results there are already kind of styled, so I'll just have to make sure not to break this process.

A

Okay, where I'm say it's search box next, okay, so up next is progress on backdrops CMS. It's been kind of a quiet week this past week, I, don't know how much detail you want to go into me on these.

B

Yeah yeah not a whole lot going on in well. Actually, that's not true. There are a lot.

A

B

Going on, in the backdrop b2q, it's always lots of currents, comments and file issues being updated, but of the ones that we focus on to these meetings.

B

There hasn't been a lot of activity on those particular items, there's still an outstanding issue regarding the database credentials, change that went into 1.9 that one we have a workaround in the issue of Hortis that adds a workaround but we'd like to make it so that the user would be notified of the fact that a workaround is being used because it's not very efficient to try, locking in once and then failing and then trying to log in again to your my sequel, server and then succeeding.

B

So we need to tell the user tell the developer that their database credentials need to be updated, so I actually thought of something that might make that possible to implement a little easier. So I might see an update on that. One 2904 is that particular issue, and that's the main one that we have for outstanding major bugs in the 1.9 version, and if we get that fixed, then it would be the stimulus for releasing 1.9.3 there's. Also, a bunch of other issues that are tagged 1.9.3.

B

You can check the github issue tracker to get the list of those for 1.10 the next minor version of backdrop that we've coming up made 15. We have a set of translation improvements, including making menu items translatable, which is this route to 25 that one just needs a Maya reroll, essentially thanks, Beyond for coming in and posting your feedback on that issue. This past week, config translation is issue 704.

B

No recent updates there they're still a pretty solid plan, but not much beyond a proof of concept in that issue, and then block translation issued 29:56 and that one is currently marked our TBC, which is totally awesome. I've put myself down, as you know, reviewing that as soon as possible. I think that was also Buuren actually a week or two ago. That's got couple requests ready. So thank you very much.

B

Let's see, there's also a set of things to improve the enabling and finding of modules, themes and layouts I'm, not going to recap those this week, because there have been updates on those particular issues and you can find them in the weekly agendas or you can check out the 1.10 issue tracker tagged in github to see a list of these issues as well all other issues that we'd like to do for one point time: that's it for the product, update, I, think.

B

Let's see, we don't have Jeff here at this week's here.

A

And there's nobody for a general discussion. I just think didn't get her. um Olaf is back from Africa, but tired and doesn't want to join. Jeff is fighting rules. Everybody just seems to be busy this week. No, nothing super didn't one thing: I did notice. We had an issue a while ago for the manage displays pages which changed when we put in Andy View mode module in the core, we're missing tabs and that issue got marked is fixed, but the tabs are not back in the newest version of core.

A

So I wanted to take a stab with that and see what's missing there to get those things to show back. Do you remember that you know I remember talking about it in the issue, but I don't remember.

B

I'm in a similar state, I can remember that there was something brought up about it and that's something I remember discussing if I came up with the outcome list. Okay,.

A

I will take a look see where we're at in I'm gonna open a new issue. Cuz I don't want to smoke just close, but I'll reference it. So we can figure out what happened.

A

There's something that keeps bothering me and every time I see it. No, no as I'm working I'm back to from like. Oh these tab, there's only thing I should think about it and then I'm, like oh I'm, sure, there's an issue and then the next time I see those like I was still bothering and they're, not here, and then I finally went look for this you and it couldn't find it.

A

Hey, I, don't have anything else to add I, don't know if anyone, if you have anything else to add.

B

No, let's keep it short and sweet okay. Let's.

A

Wrap it up, then thanks everybody for possibly watching this later, and we will keep you up-to-date next week with more adventures as they happen.

B

All right goodbye.
