Sane Drupal Perms

Submitted by Calvin on Tue, 02/16/2016 - 15:53

Stop treating roles as people. Treat them as responsibilities. Lots of people can be 'Content Editors', some can be 'Content Publishers', others 'Views Editors'. This idea is simple but powerful. Rather that trying to define a person's job in a role, create many small, single-purpose roles and then compose them together by giving many roles to your users to achieve your goals.

Great article about BEM guidelines for component focused development.  The section about margins and the template layout reminded me of this:

Hit Record

Today's Best Thing is probably my favorite thing of the year so far.

Joseph Gordon Levitt appeared on Netflix one day, with something called "HitRECord on TV".  The first 3 thoughts through my head were:

  1. Hey it's the kid from 3rd Rock! (and other cool, stuff, I love that guy he's super talented, what's this show about?)
  2. ... "on TV", TV sucks, that's why I watch Netflix
  3. But it's JGL sooo, this should be good right?

It warranted a read of the description.

Hmm... "crowdsourced", cool, how modern!
