At one time or another, most Drupal developers have worked on a site with one or more Webforms that used a select list that pertained to some other entity on the site (such as a store location, law firm practice area, etc).

We're big fans of Elasticsearch. It is significantly easier to deploy, manage, and scale than SOLR in our experience.

One of the coolest features that made it into Drupal 7 without much (if any) fanfare is the Queue API. Drupal's Queue API is a pluggable system that allows you to queue events for later processing.

If you have a content manager that likes to use inline images in the Body field of a Drupal site, you might run into an issue where they want an image inserted at the beginning of the field but don't want it to display in a teaser.

We've all done it. When we needed to find something in a log, we just did a cat or a tail and piped it to grep. Maybe we told grep to also show us X lines before and after what it found.

About a year and a half ago, I came across a post by Miguel Jacq about deploying Drupal automatically with Jenkins.

Every Drupal developer knows that there many configuration settings that are similar between the sites that they build, whether it's a personal preference or a trend among clients.

I recently worked on a project where the main menu items were to be displayed as images.
