Configuration

A demo of what's new in Bee and what might be on the horizon.

What would you like to know about Bee?

We are looking for 5 people to give a short demo of a module or theme. Either a module they maintain or just one they like to use. Could be an obscure module that site architechts should know about or a more popular module that you love to use.

We have five slots during this session:

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:

We'll explore the situation PSU was in with multiple Drupal 7 sites, the decision and process of moving to Backdrop, and some of the efficiencies we found along the way to move these sites.

Available config recipes at this time:

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. 

Demo module can be used for other purposes than its name might suggest. We will talk on how it can help you for testing core or contrib modules.

Introduction

Bee is the command line tool for Backdrop that is developed specifically for Backdrop and is being actively developed. It runs on Linux based systems (including MacOS) but not Windows.  It has a number of functions in common with Drush and Brush but there are a few key gaps.

My colleague Philip Stier has been working on a series of webinars about image optimizations in Drupal, and I thought it would be nice to do a quick overview of some of the parallel ways to optimize images in Backdrop. Some of the techniques are identical, and I'll mention a few others as well.

Maintaining optimized images is important for your site's accessibility and usability on different screen sizes and devices.
