Drupal 7 module development gotchas

Submitted by Benjamin Melançon on May 14, 2009 - 10:37am

First we discovered that you need a .module file for your module to be recognized. A .info file is not enough. (In this case, we only wanted the .install file, we made an empty .module file, and all was well. But then we wanted to add some functions to that empty .module file...)

Now we have found that you need to declare

files[] = agaric_example.module

in your agaric_example.info file for your agaric_example.module to be read!!!

Meteor safety is surely the most important metric in open source free software, and we must warn you: Drupal 7's new Jobqueue doesn't guarantee your hard drive won't be hit by a meteor.

This has been a public service announcement from Agaric Design Collective. Good day.

Get the lesser of two or more values with PHP

I love it when PHP has the logically named function. To get the lowest of two or more variables, min($var1, $var2)

The more modules that allow exportable configuration for use like this, the better, and the easier it will be to use DBScripts to do the rest.
