I plan to show examples of some useful hooks and preprocess functions that allow developers to interact with, extend or modify Backdrop programmatically, through small custom modules or within the theme's template.php, with minimal knowledge of PHP. Some of these include:
In short, config recipes are simple modules that add functionality to your site mostly by adding some prepared configuration. They do not add new features that are not already available through Backdrop Core or existing contrib modules.
Available config recipes at this time:
The Rules module is a module that allows site architects to create action/reaction events that would normally require writing custom code. Some of the things you can do with the rules module include:
1) Sending an email to a site editor anytime someone creates a new article or comment.
2) Automatically assigning a special role to anyone who creates a new account.
3) Automatically unpublish content after a certain time frame.
4) Automatically assign a node to someone other than the author.
Anyone can use this timeslot to show off a project you have been working on. This might be a module, a theme, or a website.
5-10 minutes each.
Login and post a comment if you would like to showcase your project.
The views module is a powerful tool that allows site administrators to create complicated and dynamic displays of their content without writing any code or knowledge of database queries.
