Finally I started exploring Symfony because Drupal 8 (the biggest things ever happened to Drupal community) uses a few components of Symfony. So I thought instead having a vague idea why don’t dedicate this month in exploring Symfony and get an idea of the base on which Drupal 8 is built.
Vagrant Up your Drupal Development
Vagrant is around for quite a time now and people prefer to work on virtual machine running locally for a faster performance. But I personally despise working on a Virtual Box mainly because it is a big pain setting it up for each project and if something screws up do it all over again. Though the performance was really shooting sky when I ran a Drupal project running in a Virtual Box. But Vagrant made my life easier. And with PuPHPet, well it is just a cherry on top.
TIL – Access object properties via variable
Have been struggling a lot since morning doing a simple stuff. Goal was to create a node object by adding the node field object properties dynamically. Everything looked fine but it was not working.

Give commands to your Ubuntu system in your own way.
Ubuntu is great for someone who wants to control his system like the way he wants. But that requires someone like Yoda to master it. Though there are some things which can be done easily. One of such things is the commands that we use in Terminal.

Set an authentication password in XAMPP using .htpasswd
The basic http authentication created with .htaccess and .htpasswd files works pretty well on online real server. However implementing them locally on our Xampp server (on Windows) may be a little problematic. Continue reading
Setup a Virtual Host for Your site in XAMPP
In my previous blog I explained how you can setup a Drupal site in you local environment using XAMPP. As I already mentioned there that it is great to run a website in a local machine using http://localhost but it have a drawback. By default you have a single domain and you have to pull all your work under the same domain in different directories. This isn’t very real and can cause problem while using server side includes and root relative links. But there is always a solution to every problem.
There is no place like 127.0.0.1
No matter where you go if you have your localhost running then you got a home. A local server is like a playground for developers. Don’t have an internet connection, want to test out dummy lorem ipsum text for content, want to constantly upload photos, these doesn’t matter when you are working on 127.0.0.1 aka “localhost”.
