In this episode, we cover the Drupal 8 Contact Storage Export Module. This episode covers a module that adds additional functionality to the Contact Storage Module (which we covered in episode 213). This module allows you to export your contact form submissions to a CSV file. It's a simple module that serves a very specific purpose. If you need to export your contact form submissions, this is how you do it!

In this episode, we cover the Drupal 8 Linkit Module. This module extends the link functionality of your Drupal 8 WYSIWYG editor (like CKeditor) to make it easier to link to other pages on your website. Rather than having to go find a page on your website you would like to link to, copy the URL, and paste it in the link field, this module allows you to do it in one step!
In this episode, we cover the Drupal 8 Contact Storage Module. This module extends the Drupal 8 core contact module by saving the contact entries in the database. This makes it easy to go back and view, edit, or delete any of the contact form submissions on your Drupal 8 site. It's a handy little module that can save you from needing to install a more fully featured form module (like Webform or Entity Forms).
In this episode, we will cover five different ways to download and install modules in Drupal 8. Yes, that’s right, FIVE different ways! If you are just getting started with Drupal or are transitioning from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8, this is a great place to start. Once you understand all the ways to download and install modules, you can make the decision on which option works best for you.
Lando is what the cool kids are using for their local development environments these days. In this episode, I give you a quick introduction to Lando and show you how it can be used to create a Drupal 8 site in less than a minute. I also show you how you can integrate Lando into your workflow if you are hosting your websites on Pantheon.
Are you using or have you tried using Lando yet? What are your thoughts?
I know it's been awhile since I last posted, but I think we are all ready for some Drupal 8 videos! Let me know in the comments what you want to see posted in the future.
Have you ever wanted to create a page on your Drupal 7 website and send it over to a friend or group of people… but you don’t want the general public to see it? You could always set it up so they just log in, but that’s an extra step and not all of the people you want to send this to have user accounts on your site.
Are you testing your site? Until recently, we weren’t and it was costing us. Every element on your website should have a meaning and if you aren’t testing it against something else how can you be sure that you are maximizing your results!
Taking a content type and displaying it in a Drupal View is core to any Drupal website. If you are new to views, you can check out our Drupal views video. As you venture into views you will learn hundreds of ways to manipulate content to change the way the end user is able to interact with the content. To help enhance this, you can use the Views Isotope module. This module uses the jQuery isotope library to dynamically filter views content. As the title states, it’s pretty fancy.
As a request from David over at luxor.me, we checked out the Mmenu module. This little gem allows you to use various javascript libraries to create a mobile friendly navigation. The navigation it produces is similar to the slide in menus you find side a lot of mobile applications.
