| smustgrave | From a previous meeting: https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C072JMEPUS1/p1731624789532229?thread_t... There are many issues to be worked on in the issue queue: https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/experience_builder?status=1. We have a development setup in https://github.com/TravisCarden/ddev-drupal-xb-dev which should help with getting started. If you get stuck on an issue, feel free to ping me on the channel and I’m happy to help (at least by helping find who could help) |
| larowlan | a lot of issues have been unblocked this week - if you're a BE or FE dev and looking for something - hit me up |
| Brian Hogue | I'm trying to see if I can help on https://www.drupal.org/project/experience_builder/issues/3493841. I got my local set up by following the links provided above, but one intensely stupid question remains ... how do I "start" EB? |
| lauriii | @Brian Hogue Have you created an article in your site? Once you have an article, you should be able to access XB with /xb/node/{nid} |
| lauriii | You just need to replace the nid in the URL with the ID of the article node you created |
| Brian Hogue | ah, thank you |
| lauriii | There's also this link in the toolbar if you're using the classic admin toolbar |
| Brian Hogue | good lord, I completely missed that |
| lauriii | It's not a great UX. It's just something we're providing temporarily for this |
| Brian hogue | totally get it |
| larowlan | also be sure to run npm i && vite build from the ui folder OR enable xb_vite module and instead run npm i && npm run drupaldev from the vite folder - we don't commit the built FE |
| Brian hogue | is that in addition to the ddev ui-build mentioned in https://github.com/TravisCarden/ddev-drupal-xb-dev?tab=readme-ov-file#usage? |
| larowlan | Ah if you have ddev ignore me |
| Kristin Pol | @Brian Hogue looks like you are set already but this has instructions https://www.drupal.org/community-initiatives/starshot-demo-design-system... |
6️⃣ Wins - What wins have you had since the last meeting? Share your successes!
| lauriii | We managed to process the design system proposals and will be ready to make the announcement tomorrow :tada: |
| guptahemant | Nice, eagerly waiting for the results |
7️⃣ Are any sync meetings required this week?
| lauriii | It will probably be slow in the next few weeks because of many of us are taking time off over the holiday season |
| lauriii | I will be largely off until 7th of Jan |
8️⃣ Weekly updates - What have you been working on? What’s up next? Need assistance with anything? Any blockers?
| lauriii | Not really something I've worked on but the team working on XB has made some really good progress in the past few weeks.@larowlan, @bnjmnm, and @longwave have made great progress to allow editing Global Regions / Block Layout in XB |
| lauriii | @bnjmnm and @balintbrews have made progress to integrate Drupal fields with the XB Redux State which enables capabilities like undo, redo, and autosave: |
| larowlan | also slack++ the screen recording feature is top shelf, uninstalled all the other things off my machine |
| smustgrave | very neat! |
| Kristen Pol (she/her) | nice work... thanks for the recordings :tada: |
| (anonymous) | I plan on taking everything for another drive tomorrow. Super stoked to check out the global region editing.I've been trying to hold off until[#3491021] lands one way or the other to maximize testing ROI :sweat_smile: (edited) |
| guptahemant | Looks amazing |
9️⃣ Review previous meeting minutes
