Tokens are a pretty powerful weapon to have in your arsenal, and they actually come in useful a lot if you remember that they're there.

If you haven't used them before, tokens are essentially text placeholders - they can be static text, variables, field values, whatever you want really.

The Token API is now part of Drupal 7 core and as it turns out, using it to create your own tokens is super easy - you just need a couple of hooks.

The first hook, hook_token_info(), is used to declare any custom tokens.

Hitting a contractible deliverable for accessibility is generally easy enough, even despite Drupal's best efforts to scupper all attempts with forms and redundant labels and other hidden gotchas. A deliverable in these cases usually comes in the form of meeting a standard, whether it be a North American client wanting Section 508 coverage, or A UK client wishing for AA coverage and protection from UK disciplinary against the Accessibility Acts laws.

The standard Drush command for clearing Drupal's cache looks like this:

        drush cache-clear all

(You can also use the shortened alias cc like this: drush cc all)

These commands give you the same result as when you click that cache clear button in the UI — it clears all of Drupal's internal caches.

In this article we are going to look at implementing the Facebook Open Graph (OG) tags on a Drupal site. It involves a bit of coding but nothing too major so bear with me. All the code we are going to write goes into the theme's template.php file so no need to to create a module for it. And if your theme does not yet have this file, go ahead and create it.

The first revision control system I ever used was called RCS. It was the pre-cursor to CVS and stored all revision data locally. It was nifty but very limited and not suited for group development. CVS was the first shared revisioning system I used. It was rock solid, IMHO. But it had a few big problems, like the inability to rename or move files. Everything had to be deleted and re-added. 

Since those days, I've used several other revisioning systems: Perforce, Bitkeeper, Clearcase, Subversion and GIT.

For the past six months, I've been in the process of porting my contrib theme, Gratis, to Drupal 8. One of the challenges for contrib is Drupal 8 has been a constant moving target in terms of API changes. With every new Alpha of Drupal 8, I've had to adjust many bits of theme code to adhere to these new APIs.
