LakeDrops Drupal Consulting, Development and Hosting: Test, Replay, Debug: Closing the Feedback Loop
Test, Replay, Debug: Closing the Feedback Loop

Building workflows blind - configure, deploy, hope, check logs - was the reality for years. ECA's integrated test, replay, and debug features close the feedback loop. Put the modeler in listening mode, trigger events, see execution results immediately with token values at each step. A small widget appears on any page where ECA processed events - click it, modeler opens in overlay with recorded execution data, replay what just happened right there in context. Recording is expensive (despite 70% CPU and 85% storage optimizations), so use temporarily when debugging. Production event replay lets you step through failures with actual data from when they occurred. Conditional recording triggers and JSON export across environments are coming. No other workflow tool in any CMS - not WordPress, Joomla, n8n, or Zapier - offers step-through replay with production recordings at this level. This is what existing ECA users requested most: visibility into workflow execution. Infrastructure-level work that required sustained investment but compounds over years. Workflow Modeler exclusive feature, not available in BPMN.iO.

Metadrop: CKEditor5 Markdown: explicit Markdown-to-HTML conversion for Drupal editors
CKEditor5 Markdown is a new Drupal contrib module that adds CKEditor5 toolbar plugin into the toolbar for converting Markdown to HTML on demand.
What the CKEditor5 Markdown module does
The module adds a new toolbar button to Drupal's CKEditor5 editor. Click it, paste or type Markdown into the dialog that appears, confirm, and the content is inserted as formatted HTML at the cursor position.
The conversion uses the marked library (version 9, MIT licence) with GitHub-Flavored Markdown support enabled. The library is bundled into the compiled asset via Webpack, so no additional frontend build step is required.
The module requires Drupal 10.3 or higher, or Drupal 11, with the core ckeditor5 module enabled.
CKEditor5 markdown example
Why explicit conversion instead of the official Paste Markdown feature
CKEditor5 includes a built-in Paste Markdown feature that detects…

Planet PHP
ezSystems are classy folks

Last week I helped the folks at ezSystems debug some APC problems they were having. The problems ended up being a 64bit architecture problem (they have uber-fast Opterons) and the bug is now fixed in 2.0.3.
Today I received Python & XML from them (off my Amazon wishlist). Thanks guys!
On a side note, my wishlist seems borked. The list I get when I search on my email address or name is not the same one I can edit when I log into the site.

PHP april fools...
1st of April 2004 get's to it's end and I guess it's time, to summarize the recent April fools a bit. Not that I think anyone in the world believes in them, but some were quite funny:
1. Changes to case sensitivity in PHP.
Alan Knowles announced that PHP will change to the studlyCase API and therefor will get everything broken by changing established functions.
2. IBM takes over Zend.
Myself hacked a little article about IBM taking over Zend to make PHP a compete of Java.
3. The first PHP virus has been seen.
Wasn't there one last year, too?
4. PHP has been overtaken by Micro$oft.
Mhhh... a little bit unreliable, if they had been taken over by IBM this morning... Maybe one should first look, what others wrote...
5. And finally, PHP4 and 5 showed their real faces...
Take a look at a phpinfo() output!
I guess I missed some, so feel free to comment on this entry, if you found another!
