Design Patterns - PHP: The Right Way. There are numerous ways to structure the code and project for your web application, and you can put as much or as little thought as you like into architecting. But it is usually a good idea to follow common patterns because it will make your code easier to manage and easier for others to understand. Factory One of the most commonly used design patterns is the factory pattern. In this pattern, a class simply creates the object you want to use. Consider the following example of the factory pattern: <? Phpclass Automobile{ private $vehicleMake; private $vehicleModel; public function __construct($make, $model) { $this->vehicleMake = $make; $this->vehicleModel = $model; } public function getMakeAndModel() { return $this->vehicleMake . ' ' .
This code uses a factory to create the Automobile object. Using the factory pattern isn’t always necessary (or wise).

Introduction On the old site, I started a series of tutorials named "PHP Application Design". I planned for at least three parts, and while I did publish the first two and wrote at least half of part three, I found myself out of time to make it to the finish. Still dedicated to writing reusable and extensible PHP code and spreading the knowledge, this is a restart of the series, renamed as simply "OO PHP". So: Welcome to part one of the "OO PHP" series.

Getting Started - Background & Prerequisites (Drupal 8) Drupal 8 makes use of a number of PHP design patterns, language features, and 3rd party libraries that developers need to understand in order to make the most of the Drupal 8 APIs.
Many of these new concepts are already documented elsewhere, so rather than duplicate existing documentation we link to existing documentation where possible and explain any Drupal specifics. Much of the information detailed below is knowledge that other documentation throughout the handbook will assume you already have. It is suggested you familiarize yourself with these basic concepts and terms before diving further into using the Drupal 8 APIs. Object Oriented Programming While object oriented programming itself has been around for decades, many of the concepts and paradigms are new to Drupal 8. Basic understanding of OOP is now assumed, and Drupal makes use of many advanced patterns as well.

Installation Date iCal has several required (and one optional) dependencies: The Views (version 3.5+), Entity API, Libraries API (version 2.0+), and Date modules are required.The iCalcreator library is required.PHP 5.3 is required by the iCalcreator library to properly handle timezone data. Date iCal might work with PHP 5.2, but that configuration is untested and unsupported.The Feeds module is needed to enable import of iCal feeds from other sites, but if you don't plan to import external calendars, you don't need to install it. To install the iCalcreator library, download it from here, using either git clone or the "Download Zip" button.
Inside you'll find the file iCalcreator.class.php. Or, if you have drush, install iCalcreator by running this command from your site's root directory:drush make sites/all/modules/date_ical/date_ical.make --no-core To confirm that iCalcreator is installed correctly, log in to your site and navigate to the admin/reports/status page.

It allows you to connect, relate and classify your website’s content. In Drupal, these terms are gathered within "vocabularies.
" The Taxonomy module allows you to create, manage and apply those vocabularies. New under Drupal 7 is the ability to add taxonomy fields to vocabularies and terms. Taxonomy is the practice of classifying content. Taxonomy can be used in workflow, to customize defined sections of your website with different themes or to display specific content based on taxonomy terms. Taxonomy should be driven by the business requirements of your website, with an eye towards possible future functional expansion. Looking for support? Structure Guide. Last updated March 27, 2011.
