Installation

  • Checkout the code in ~/.drush/ so that it is recognized as plugin.
  • run composer install

Example Usage:

  1. Create gallery.yaml under %drupal_root%/.tools/es/fpp/ so the structure looks like the following.

        .tools
         |__es
            |__fpp
               |__gallery.yaml
    
  2. Populate gallery.yaml with following content

    name: "Awesome Gallery"
    machine_name: "gallery"
    fields:
      slideshow_images:
        map: patternImages
        type: image
        cardinality: -1
        label: Some Images
        image_style: thumbnail
      headline:
        map: description
        type: text_long
        text_format_filtered_html: full_html
        label: Headline
      caption:
        map: title
        type: text
        text_format_filtered_html: full_html
        label: Caption
    
    
  3. Run drush es in %drupal_root%

  4. A feature called fe_es and a module called es_helper should be created automatically with required files.

  5. Verify that the FPP called "Awesome Gallery" with "Some Images" field is created.

  6. Verify that preprocess function works as expected by creating a template called fieldable-panels-pane--gallery.tpl.twig and inspecting variable patternImages
