aft Craft 5: What It Means For Super Table Page Builders By www.viget.com Published On :: Wed, 14 Aug 2024 10:00:00 -0400 If you’re like us, you’ve likely built ‘page builder’ fields in Craft CMS using Matrix. But sometimes you need more than a block. We use Super Table to create ‘page sections’ that include some extra settings (like background color, controls for width, etc.). We can then nest a Matrix field to control page blocks within the Page Section (Super Table). This has worked well for us in the past but there's a new, simpler way to achieve this starting in Craft 5.Upgrading a site from Craft 4 to Craft 5 can seem intimidating. Even more so when your site relies on complex content models like the one I described above. You might think, okay I'll upgrade to Craft 5 and then look into migrating to the newer method in the future. Well, now is the time. Verbb has announced that Super Table has reached end-of-life. While there is a Craft 5 compatible version available, it won't receive updates. That means now is the perfect time to migrate your Super Table fields to native Matrix fields.Craft 5 makes the process easy by converting Matrix blocks to entry types automatically during the upgrade. This guide will walk you through the process. We'll cover preparation, the upgrades themselves, and steps to clean up afterward. As you’ll see below, the process is actually quite simple and nothing to stress over! An example page builder using Super Table with a nested Matrix in Craft 4 Preparing for the UpgradeThe first step in any upgrade is preparation. Start by backing up your site’s database. This ensures that you can restore your site to its previous state if anything goes wrong during the upgrade process. We use (and love) DDEV here at Viget, so this guide will be leveraging it. But you can easily adapt the commands if you are not. To create a database backup, run: ❯ ddev snapshot Next, review the compatibility of your installed plugins. Check the Plugin Store or the author’s site to confirm that each plugin has a Craft 5 compatible version. Make a list of any plugins that need updating or replacing. Super Table will need to be updated to at least version 4.0.0. It's also essential to familiarize yourself with the Craft 5 Upgrade Guide. This guide provides detailed information on the changes, new features, and potential breaking changes in Craft 5, helping you understand what to expect. It serves as a fantastic set of instructions to get your site upgraded.The Upgrade ProcessOnce you're prepared, you can begin the upgrade process. Per the Craft Upgrade Guide, we will update Craft and plugins at the same time. Open your editor and modify your composer.json with the new versions of your plugins. The two for sure we will need to modify are: "craftcms/cms": "^5.0.0", "verbb/super-table": "^4.0.0", After you've checked all your versions and are ready to proceed, run: ❯ ddev composer update This command will update Craft (and its dependencies) and all your plugins to the latest version compatible with Craft 5. After updating, you need to run the database migrations to complete the upgrade. This can be accomplished by running: ❯ ddev craft up During this upgrade process, Craft 5 automatically converts all of your existing Matrix blocks to entry types. This conversion requires no interaction from you, streamlining one of the most complex aspects of the upgrade. After it’s finished, all of your non-reusable matrix blocks are now their own reusable entry type. Craft 5 automatically converted the matrix blocks to their own entry types Updating Super Table Fields and TemplatesWith the Matrix blocks converted to entry types, you need to reconfigure any Super Table fields to be Matrix fields.Update Super Table Fields:Browse to Settings > Fields and edit any Super Table fieldsChange the field type from Super Table to Matrix (there will be no content loss when switching from Super Table to Matrix)Select the entry type to use (Craft has already created one for you)Save the fieldThat's it! Changing the field type from Super Table to Matrix (with no content loss) Review Your Templates: # If you've been working with Super Table content as part of entry queried data, you may not need to make template changes at all Search your templates for craft.superTable to find any direct queries of Super Table blocks and replace them with entry queries At this point, you have removed your dependency on Super Table and have a page builder entirely built with Matrix fields. What were previously Super Table blocks are now a custom Entry Type and what were Matrix blocks are now also Entry Types. This allows you to have nested Matrix within Matrix thanks to Craft’s Entrification plan. A nested Matrix in Matrix page builder at last! Our page builder looks just like before, only now it adds entries instead of blocks Cleaning Up After the UpgradeAfter updating your fields and templates, it's time to clean up. First, uninstall the Super Table plugin. Navigate to Settings > Plugins in the Control Panel to uninstall the plugin. Then remove it from your project by running: ❯ ddev composer remove verbb/super-table Thoroughly test your site to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Pay close attention to the entry types where you used Super Table fields, confirming that authoring and your front-end work as expected.Additionally, you can also take this opportunity to clean up your fields and entry types. Craft 5’s reusable fields and entry types give you ample opportunity to consolidate and Craft 5 provides new utilities to make this process as simple as possible.fields/auto-merge — Automatically discovers functionally identical fields and merges their uses together.fields/merge — Manually merge one field into another of the same type and update uses of the merged field.entry-types/merge — Merge one entry type into another and update uses of the merged entry type.That’s it!Upgrading from Craft 4 to Craft 5 and transitioning from Super Table is incredibly simple, thanks to Craft 5’s automatic conversion of Matrix blocks to entry types. Super Table will no longer be maintained moving forward, and it's better to switch to the native Craft solution for better long-term support. By following these steps, you can quickly tackle the change and take advantage of the new features and improvements in Craft 5. With careful planning, thorough testing, and a few commands, you’ll have your page builder working again in Craft 5 in no time. Happy upgrading!

aft Some Thoughts after a Major Ruby on Rails Upgrade By www.viget.com Published On :: Wed, 18 Sep 2024 10:00:00 -0400 For the past few weeks, I've been upgrading an older, fairly large Ruby on Rails app from Rails 5.2 to Rails 7.1 and from Ruby 2.7 to Ruby 3.3. During this time, I have also made the switch from Webpacker to Vite for asset bundling and made various JS and CSS upgrades to go along with that change. Here are a few takeaways from the experience. Upgrade Regularly # First, I know I am probably preaching to the choir with this one, but just upgrading your tech as you go and whenever you can is great. It prevents you from being in the position that I was in–having to make such a big jump all in one go. It also makes sure you keep getting security upgrades, and more security is never a bad thing. If you are up for it, you can even automate the process like GitHub does for their Rails upgrades or by using something like Dependabot for notifying you on when to upgrade dependencies. Commit Often # This is good advice for any project, but I think it is specifically good when working through issues that arise from upgrading. Whenever I have done a larger upgrade, there’s always at least one tricky issue that takes time to diagnose. This leads to me experimenting and trying a few different things before I figure out the actual fix. Committing often allows me to reset back away from these false paths whenever I decide to go down a new one. But I could also commit these false paths if I'm stuck, store them away in a separate branch, and come back to them later if I feel like an approach is worth a second look. Leave Code Comments # If you have a particularly confusing piece of code where its purpose or function is unclear, leave a comment. This is another piece of advice that is relevant at any time, but I found those comments to be extra helpful during this latest round of upgrades. There were several instances of code that had not been touched in years (and never touched by me) causing errors after upgrading the underlying tech. Some of these were well commented, which made it much easier to understand their purpose and decide how to fix them—or even whether to keep them. On the flip side, there were some pieces of code that were not well documented, which made fixing the errors much harder. Avoid Fancy Code # As somewhat of an alternative to the code comments, you can also just avoid fancier code. Try seeing if any code that is fairly complex can be simplified into something a bit easier to understand. Also, you want to avoid calling any private APIs that might change out from under you during your upgrade process which can lead to all sorts of weird bugs and behavior. I'm not saying do this completely in place of relevant comments, but simplifying where you can will somewhat cut back the need for them. Be Selective with Dependencies # When upgrading a massive Rails app and the Javascript associated with said app, you are often going to have to upgrade some of your dependencies as well. The more of these you have to upgrade, the higher chance you have of breaking something, so it is important to be selective when choosing these dependencies. During these upgrades, I ran into several issues caused by a dependency that really was not doing much for us in the grand scheme of things, but was causing more than its fair share of issues. If you want to read more about how to go about choosing dependencies, feel free to reference my colleague Sol's article on the subject. The End # I don't think these insights are particularly original or profound, but hopefully they give you something to think about as you make major upgrades on your own app or as you think ahead to future upgrades.

aft GitHub x BUCK: Crafting a Dynamic Visual Identity for Universe ’24 By abduzeedo.com Published On :: Thu, 07 Nov 2024 13:44:34 +0000 GitHub x BUCK: Crafting a Dynamic Visual Identity for Universe ’24 abduzeedo1107—24 Learn how BUCK redefined branding and visual identity for GitHub Universe ’24 with monumental design inspired by code. The annual GitHub Universe event is a celebration of innovation, bringing together some of the brightest minds in software development. This year, GitHub partnered with BUCK, a renowned global creative company, to reimagine the event’s visual identity. Inspired by the theme “The World’s Fair of Software,” BUCK transformed GitHub Universe ’24 into a visually immersive experience that blended the past and future of software culture. Here’s a look at how this collaboration pushed the boundaries of branding and visual identity. The Creative Vision: Merging Tradition and Progress GitHub Universe ‘24 marked a milestone as the event’s tenth edition. This special occasion called for a branding overhaul that both paid homage to GitHub’s legacy and celebrated the event’s ongoing evolution. BUCK’s approach was rooted in capturing the spirit of World’s Fairs, where innovation and collaboration take center stage. Ward Graumans, BUCK’s Creative Director, emphasized their intent: “We aimed to create a look that celebrates this milestone while pushing the brand forward.” The visual system developed by BUCK didn’t just rehash previous designs. Instead, it evolved into a toolkit that incorporated new elements while staying true to GitHub’s core identity. Central to the branding were what BUCK called “Monuments of Progress.” These unique structures were a reinterpretation of their prior 2D shape library, elevated to represent key GitHub values. Each monument carried icons, mascots, and insider references from the developer community, merging playful aesthetics with thoughtful design. Key Elements of the Visual Identity BUCK crafted a comprehensive design system that tied together various aspects of GitHub’s event branding. The system integrated fresh color palettes, new typography, and updated logos, all influenced by the visual language of coding. The Monuments of Progress became the standout feature, serving both as iconic standalone pieces and as the basis for hero visuals. This creative concept was not just about aesthetics; it reinforced the event’s narrative, with each visual element acting as a beacon of innovation. Beyond static design, BUCK brought these monuments to life through animations and dynamic visuals. They created a suite of digital assets, from social media content to an introductory film that illuminated the event stages. This multimedia approach ensured that GitHub Universe ’24 had a cohesive yet lively visual identity, both online and in person. Collaboration and Execution The development of this branding system was a collaborative effort between BUCK, GitHub’s in-house design studio, event producers, and external partners. The process involved tight communication and shared creative insights. According to Adam Walden, VP of Brand and Corporate Marketing at GitHub, “BUCK continues to bring taste, craft, story, and incredible attention to detail to everything we do together.” This close-knit collaboration resulted in a unified event experience that resonated across different platforms. The team at BUCK didn’t just stop at creating a one-off design for the event. Instead, they developed a branding system with longevity, allowing GitHub to use these assets beyond Universe ’24. This evergreen toolkit ensures a lasting impact on GitHub’s branding efforts, providing flexibility for future campaigns and event rollouts. Impact and Legacy GitHub Universe ’24’s branding is more than a visual facelift; it’s an invitation to engage and explore. By drawing from coding elements and honoring the developer community, BUCK and GitHub have created a design system that feels both cutting-edge and familiar. The Monuments of Progress symbolize GitHub’s role as a hub of innovation, while the refined color schemes and typography elevate the brand’s visual language. This collaboration sets a new standard for event branding in the tech industry. BUCK’s creative solutions not only reflect GitHub’s ethos but also celebrate the people and projects that make the developer ecosystem thrive. It’s a testament to the power of thoughtful design and the impact of a strong, cohesive visual identity. The reimagined visual identity for GitHub Universe ’24 exemplifies how branding can serve as a narrative tool. BUCK’s designs invite viewers to think of software development not just as code, but as a world full of creativity and progress. As GitHub continues to grow, this branding system will be a cornerstone of its visual storytelling, inspiring developers and designers alike. GitHub Universe ’24, with its bold and vibrant identity, proves that a well-crafted brand can amplify the spirit of an event. BUCK’s collaboration with GitHub has set a high bar, showing how design, when rooted in community and culture, can make an event feel like a true celebration of innovation. Branding and visual identity artifacts About GitHub GitHub is the most widely adopted Copilot-powered developer platform to build, scale, and deliver secure software.

Statista created this infographic when the non-partisan U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released an overview of mission capable rates and the cost of operating U.S. military aircraft in 2020. Over 40 aircrafts were examined, Statista chose to highlight these 15 in their infographic.The non-partisan U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) recently released an overview of mission capable rates and the cost of operating U.S. military aircraft. It examined more than 40 different aircraft types, finding that only three of them reached their mission capable goals between fiscal years 2011 and 2019. In total, the report put the collective cost of operating all of the U.S. military's aircraft fleets at $49 billion in fiscal year 2018, taking operational & support (O&S) costs such as maintenance as well as supply support in account. O&S generally makes up 70 percent of a weapon system's total life cycle costs and it includes spare parts, depot and field maintenance, contract services, engineering support and personnel, amongst other factors.It would be nice to see how many we have in service too. The stacked bars work well. As a reader you can tell the values between operating/support and maintenance, but the total is what matters. Read more at Statista Full Article
