wunderio / wunderhub

A central content repository for the WunderSites.

WunderHub

Wunder Setup

1. git clone [email protected]:wunderkraut/wunderhub.git
2. cd wunderhub
3. composer install
4. Point your web server to the web directory.

Usage

First you need to install composer.

Note: The instructions below refer to the global composer installation. You might need to replace composer with php composer.phar (or similar) for your setup.

After that you can create the project:

composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev some-dir --stability dev --no-interaction

With composer require ... you can download new dependencies to your installation.

cd some-dir
composer require drupal/devel:8.*

What does the template do?

When installing the given composer.json some tasks are taken care of:

• Drupal will be installed in the web-directory.
• Autoloader is implemented to use the generated composer autoloader in vendor/autoload.php, instead of the one provided by Drupal (web/vendor/autoload.php).
• Modules (packages of type drupal-module) will be placed in web/modules/contrib/
• Theme (packages of type drupal-theme) will be placed in web/themes/contrib/
• Profiles (packages of type drupal-profile) will be placed in web/profiles/contrib/
• Creates default writable versions of settings.php and services.yml.
• Creates sites/default/files-directory.
• Latest version of drush is installed locally for use at vendor/bin/drush.
• Latest version of DrupalConsole is installed locally for use at vendor/bin/drupal.

Updating Drupal Core

Updating Drupal core is a two-step process.

1. Update the version number of drupal/core in composer.json.
2. Run composer update drupal/core.
3. Run ./scripts/drupal/update-scaffold [drush-version-spec] to update files in the web directory, where drush-version-spec is an optional identifier acceptable to Drush, e.g. drupal-8.0.x or drupal-8.1.x, corresponding to the version you specified in composer.json. (Defaults to drupal-8, the latest stable release.) Review the files for any changes and restore any customizations to .htaccess or robots.txt.
4. Commit everything all together in a single commit, so web will remain in sync with the core when checking out branches or running git bisect.

Generate composer.json from existing project

With using the "Composer Generate" drush extension you can now generate a basic composer.json file from an existing project. Note that the generated composer.json might differ from this project's file.

FAQ

Should I commit the contrib modules I download

Composer recommends no. They provide argumentation against but also workrounds if a project decides to do it anyway.

wunderhub's Issues

Add a /api endpoint that documents the API, to support self-discovery

Cf. https://api.github.com/

Add a search api endpoint to allow subscribing sites to get search results

Inspired by the way wunderkraut.se have done it internally on their site.

Use focal point to crop around team faces for image styles

If you look at the current team page on wunderkraut.com. The smaller images aren't just resized, they are cropped around faces. It would be good to have that from the hub so we can emphasize faces more than bank space.

Issues in api/team

Im working on user importing to WunderSites from WunderHub and I spotted some issues:

1. To be able properly use users in other sites (like WunderSites), should include email field as well, so it can be used in sites as real email and also as username.
2. In api/team there is two entries with uid=342 and two accounts for Aleksi Johansson.
3. Im not able to see my own entry there (uid=355).

Update install profile to work with latest D8 beta

site.make at hub.wunder.io is set to install on Drupal 8.0.0-beta4, but current D8 beta is 8.0.0-beta14*.

* subject to change 😉

We need to update the WK hub profile and modules to work with latest updates to D8.

Staff statuses

A status board for people. Are they in work, on holiday, off sick, at lunch? Possible to integrate with cato to update it?

from @steveparks

Slim down the Hub admin UI

E.g. learning from improvements made to the UI in the JARS project

SSO via Wunderkraut Google account

It would be great to get WunderHub user accounts to authenticate against the user's WK Google account, so passwords and access permission are managed in one central location.

Icing on the cake: automagic Hub account creation/blocking when a person joins/leaves WK

Record people’s skills and interests

record people’s skills and interests - ideally with a weight on each one so we now what level they’re at. would display on the site as a tag cloud

from @steveparks

Add human friendly filters to api endpoints

All API endpoints filter are based on UUID or similar. It would be nice if something like /api/team/lewis returned a result. It would open the door for better public facing urls and natural language tasks with cato.

Improve the Hub editorial UI

Cf. http://www.wunderkraut.com/blog/a-medium-like-editor-for-drupal-8/2015-03-17

show just url to picture instead of html markup

Currently an <img> tag lives inside picture on /employees, we should display the full URL to the picture.

Explore authentication options for User CRUD operations

Users need to have CRUD (minus D?) operations exposed to an API endpoint.

This needs to be as secure as possible. Drupal 8 currently supports the follwong types of authentication out of the box:

• Oauth 1
• HTTP Basic Authentication

Are there other modules available to provide authentication providers?
Is OA1 or HTTP Basic Auth enough?

Expose user data to ElasticSearch

I'm investigating the possibility of exposing user data through search_api so that I can easliy create a REST endpoint using views to search for skills and other data (to be defined properly).

Here are some questions:

• Is search api with elasticsearch integration the best way to go about this?
• Is using views to provide the REST end point a good idea?
  • Architecturally we're very restricted by the views way of doing things.

Move to deployment with Composer

Currently we're using 😬 drush .make files, but it'd be great to switch stuff around to use Composer instead.

Fix access to /api/menutree/% access - cookie-based access, not basic_auth - doh!

store object in picture property

Currently picture property is just a string and other versions of the user's picture have named like picture_thumb. It would be great when picture would be an object with thumb, medium, large and original in it.

I don't know how to rewrite Views' output because when I tried that I figured out that arrays are displayed comma-separated :/

Add profile links

Profile links to:
Twitter
Github
Drupal.org
Anything else?

Add a 'biography' field

Content canonical origin

We need to work out a way to indicate the canonical origin of the content, so that SEO is not punished.

WunderPeople and WunderCompany are not enabled by default

Content translation

Need to add content translation so non-En sites can create content in different languages.

Evaluate using CORS instead of JSONP

We're using this approach: https://www.drupal.org/node/2132779 for supporting a JSONP call, but using CORS seems like a better approach if it reaches core at some point: https://www.drupal.org/node/1869548
