- The document is a guide for a Drupal theming course provided by Dropsolid Academy.
- It discusses setting up a development environment for theming including installing Drush and modules like Devel and Theme Developer.
- Visual elements are used throughout to designate tips, code examples, and actions to be completed by the reader.
Content designers want highly customized learning content, but that requires a developer to create custom HTML/CSS/JavaScript for each course. And this causes developers to spend too much time copying and pasting content and applying the HTML markup instead of focusing on developing the functionality. The solution is the Adapt authoring tool. This tool allows developers to create tools that content designers can use to deliver content.

Making The Drupal Pill Easier To SwallowPhilip Norton
Drupal has a notorious learning curve, which can cause most developers major mental health issues. I'll talk through some hints and tips about getting to grips with Drupal, finding out what is going on, and where to go when you get inevitably stuck.
B-Translator helps to get feedback about l10n (translations of the programs). It tries to collect very small translation contributions from a wide crowd of people and to dilute them into something useful. It is developed as a Drupal7 profile and the code is hosted on GitHub. Here I describe the development setup and process that I use for this project. Most of the the tips are project specific, however some of them can be used on any Drupal project.
Optimize Site Deployments with Drush (DrupalCamp WNY 2011)Jon Peck
When a site goes live, are you crossing your fingers or are you confident that everything is configured? Are you looking to manage and optimize site deployments like any other operational process? Do you find it impossible to create development, test and production environments that act the same every time? Do you have a custom set of modules or configurations that you rely on for all your sites?
This session will teach you how to optimize your site deployments with open tools such as drush, drush make, features, leveraging software versioning systems such as subversion and git. Beyond these projects, the session will train you to develop your own custom modules for consistent and precise deployments including variables, users, content types, nodes, imagecache presets, menus, blocks, theme configuration, and more.
Using these techniques you can automate and optimize your deployment procedures, giving you technical flexibility and saving valuable time.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

INTRODUCTION
Welcome, and thank you for choosing Dropsolid Academy for your training needs!
In the presentation of this course, we’ll cover everything you need to know to become a theming wonder! Since
this is a pretty broad field of expertise, we won’t have time to cover all many basics. We assume you already know
how to install and work with Drupal at least in a basic way. You should know where most configurations can be
found, what’s under Structure and how to manage content, etc. You should also have some basic PC skills, like
working with browsers, files and folders.
Please be honest about your level of skill, we’ll gladly refund your tuition, or save you a spot in our Discover
Drupal course.
We’ll start by explaining some general options for themes in Drupal, introduce you to templating, and then dive
into some advanced functions.
We’ll start day 2 by discussing navigation and forms, JavaScript and CSS. After that we’ll show you how to theme a
view and panels.
We’ll wrap it up with a last round of Q&A, we’ll throw some more useful modules your way, and finally, we’ll let
you go, hopefully fulfilled, and filled with fresh knowledge!
One last thing, before we move on: we at Dropsolid strive to continuously improve our services, so if you have
any remarks or tips, please let us know!
ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT
This document is intended as a practical guide that will help you along with the exercises. We won’t be covering all
the theory discussed in the presentation, this would take us much too far.

Ok, so much for the dry stuff. Time for some more useful information about this document…
We’ve tried to keep this course as “human readable” as possible. To achieve this, we’ve added in some custom
formatting, and visual elements that will help guide you through the information.
This custom formatting can be divided into two groups.
The first group of visual elements is the tips group. They also appear in two variants.
The first is the light bulb. Grey blocks of text preceded with the light bulb icon will list handy tips and “good to
knows”.
Silly example tip:
4. 4/8
This is where we’ll tell you things like “It helps if you install Drupal first…”
To distinguish between the more “playful” tips and the actual inner workings of Drupal, we’ve added this visual
element:
Drupal just works! – Would be a pretty useless ‘inner workings’ comment.
The second group of visual elements signify more of a do something element. Here’s the code block:
sites/all/modules/dropsolid/glue/glue.module
81 /**
82 * In between you can import content
83 */
84 function glue_import_content() {
85
86 }
The caption to the right of the code block icon shows the path to the file we’ll be working on. We’ll list the path
starting from the root of your site, meaning the main directory of your Drupal installation.
This next one is the terminal element:
sites/all/modules/custom is an example directory
drush dl something
When you see this, you’ll have to input the command into the terminal.app or command.exe. The path in the
caption shows you from which directory to perform the command.
Now for the final variation of the code block, the directory block! This will show you the directory structure you
need:
Inside/example/folder
> your
> structure
> should
> look
> like
> this
The path in this ones caption shows you the directory from which the list starts.
That’s all you need to know about this document, so let’s get started!

1 SETUP AND BASICS
1.1 Setting up for theming
1.1.1 Installing Drush
Drush is a command line shell and scripting interface for Drupal, a veritable Swiss Army knife designed to make life
easier for those of us who spend some of our working hours hacking away at the command prompt. Drush is not
a module and is not specific to a certain Drupal version.
1.1.1.1 Microsoft Windows
From the page at http://drush.ws/drush_windows_installer:
The Drush Windows Installer provides a convenient way to install Drush and the components it needs in order to
run on Microsoft Windows.
Supported Operating Systems:
Windows 7
Windows Vista SP2
Windows XP SP3+
Windows Server 2003 SP2+
Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2008 R2
Supported Shells:
minsw / msysgit (Recommended)
DOS
PowerShell
Cygwin is untested, but probably works.
Setting the PATH Environment Variable:
Drush makes calls to executables without specifying the full path to their location. In order to resolve the correct
location, their full path should be included in %PATH% environment variable. This can be done by either installing
the Register Environment Variables feature, or by running the Drush Command Prompt located on the desktop
after the installer completes.
6. 6/8
Run As Administrator:
IMPORTANT: Selecting Configure Windows Remote Management feature on systems that have User Access
Control enabled requires running installer with elevated privileges. This can be done by right clicking on the MSI
file and selecting Run As Administrator.
Installation steps:
Run DrushSetup.msi
Click Next on the Welcome page
Select features to install. See section Drush Installer Features
below.
IMPORTANT: If you select Configure Windows Remote
Management feature, make sure that you run the installer
using Run As Administrator option.
Click Install to proceed with installation
Click Yes if prompted to run as Administrator
Click Finish to complete the installation
7. 7/8
1.1.1.2 Mac OSX
Go to https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/tree/6.x, and download the zip file. Extract the folder and rename it to
drush. Then move it to the /usr/local folder and create a symlink to /usr/local/bin. After that run it as sudo once, to
make sure permission are set correctly. After that, you might have to set permissions on the drush cache folder
(last command). Here are the commands:
sudo mv ~/Downloads/drush /usr/local/
sudo ln -s /usr/local/drush/drush /usr/bin/drush
sudo drush
sudo chmod -R g+w ~/.drush/cache
If you get an error after the first command saying that the directory doesn’t exist, create it first with this command:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/
1.1.2 Devel and Theme developer
Install Devel using drush:
drush dl devel && drush en devel
Theme Developer is a little trickier to install. It depends on simplehtmldom, but not the latest version, so you’ll
have to download it manually.
Go to https://drupal.org/project/simplehtmldom, and download the 7.x-1.12 branch. Now unpack it, and move
the resulting folder to sites/all/modules/contrib.
If you don’t have a contrib folder in sites/all/modules, create it first. Your sites folder should look like this:
Drupal root folder
> sites
> all
> modules
> contrib
> custom
> patched
> default
Now that you’ve moved simplehtmldom, install theme_devel with Drush:
drush dl theme_devel && drush en theme_devel
Answer yes to any questions you may get. If you now reload a page of your website, you should see a little
Themer info link at the bottom left:
If you click this link, a new window will appear on top of the page, it will tell you to click on an element, if you do
so, you’ll see something like this:
8. 8/8
This window shows the parent items, the template called, (pre)process
functions, page load and variables in play.
We’ll come back to this functionality later on.
