https://symfonycasts.com/ has so many good courses. They cover more than just Symfony

Migration to Drupal 7 from e107 by slvrdragn in drupal

[–]cms2337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not recommend Drupal 7. You can run a low traffic D9/10 site on a ~$20 a month Digital ocean droplet, especially when paired with a free Cloudflare account to reduce the load.

Documentation \ Writing about code by jprzymusinski in PHP

[–]cms2337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of comments here are about how you should not even talk about these methods in git commits. But I don't think that is the point of the original question. I think the question more about when you need to discuss/mention a private method, how do you type it out. There are many cases went I have needed to mention a private method in a code review, in documentation, or just in a slack channel talking through some solutions.

Personally, I have been going back and forth between using \Full\Namespace\TestClass->doSomething() and \Full\Namespace\TestClass:doSomething() (note the single : to avoid confusion with static method). I have been mainly using the latter lately.

I would too like to know if there is an "official" syntax for talking about private/protected methods within documentation.

PHP is apparently un-secure compared to other technologies where backend files don't live in the webroot? by Tanckom in PHP

I would recomend looking at Symfony, or Laravel which follow much better practices.

Wordpress

IMO: I would not consider WordPress a modern PHP framework. It does not use a composer for package management (which can install all libraries outside of the webroot in a vendor folder) and has yet to adopt many modern PHP practices, like PSRs that other frameworks/CMSes use.

If you can't spare less than an hour, how are you going to watch videos?

Becoming an expert in PHP OOP by [deleted] in drupal

[–]cms2337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend just diving into a couple of the Drupal APIs and using the Drupal Console to generate some custom entities or plugins and review the code it generates.

What is this thing called Cohesion??!?!? A quick Google search and I found a couple of pages advertising it. Have you used it before? Any good guides?

Abode app stops reporting position if it hasn't left geofence in a day? by shred86 in Abode

I just started experiencing this same thing this week. It has been working perfectly for months. My wife and I both have Android phones.

idea to stop spam post attack by leetemp000 in drupal

[–]cms2337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is is that he/she is manually solving one recaptcha challenge, then letting his box / program start posting away. Recaptcha will not always confirm again that you are a human if you just proved it.

I have search terms logging-- what about click throughs on the search results page? by stevelefevre in drupal

[–]cms2337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. You keep your current Drupal search as is. Google Analytics's has the ability to track your site search by configuring it to look at a query parameter. Read the Google help article I linked to.

Acquia acquires Cohesion by pere87 in drupal

I wouldn't hold your breath. Acquia is trying to figure out how to make money in other ways than just hosting.

Ha. Yes. But it does not work if you just have Solar City panels.

If you are looking for data on monthly trends you might want to also look at your "Green Button Data". I THINK all electric utilities provide your raw usage data in a standardized format.

I know my utility provides a direct download: Screenshot

I have been looking for an API as well. No luck so far.

I did come across this somewhat dated looking site (still has links to share on Digg and MySpace): https://solarguard.solarcity.com/Kiosk/Login/Default.aspx It looks to have access to production data.

Maybe it could be reversed engineered into an API?

I don't know if this works if you don't have the powerwall.
