The European Drupal developer-oriented conference Drupal Dev Days is coming back to Belgium for the 3rd time. In 2011 Drupal Developer Days was held in Brussels, in 2022 in Ghent, and in 2025 we are bringing the event to Leuven.
For me it's the 3rd time co-organizing this event, and I'm eager to bring international Drupal developers together again in Belgium.
When defining local tasks (= tabs) in your Drupal 8 modules, you can specify a title for the tab via the 'title' property in your [MODULENAME].links.task.yml file.
However, in some cases you might want to make the task title dynamic, e.g. depending on the context of the entity where the tab is displayed.
This can be achieved by overriding the \Drupal\Core\Menu\LocalTaskDefault class with your own class for that tab.

On September 10th 2016 I had the honour of giving an updated version of my talk "Migrate API in Drupal 8" at Drupalcamp Saint Louis.

In the book 'Drupal 7 Development by Example', author Kurt Madel guides the reader through the process of building a Drupal 7 website. Step by step we are building an HTML5 interactive recipe website. The book covers setting up content types, using Views to list recipes and create blocks, integrating the Media module, HTML5 theming and enhancing the website markup with Microdata. Furthermore widely used modules such as Webform, Fivestar, Views Slideshow and Features are covered.
In the book "Drupal 7 Webform Cookbook" author Vernon Denny takes us on a journey through the various aspects concerning the popular Webform Drupal module. Readers of this book are shown step by step how to leverage the power of this module, and associated other contributed modules that extend its functionality, to create everything from simple contact forms to complex, multipage and conditional forms.
On February 25th, the Flemish Art Collection (Vlaamse Kunstcollectie) launched a virtual museum about the Belgian artist and painter James Ensor on www.jamesensor.eu. This website was built using popular open source technology such as Drupal, CollectiveAccess and Apache Solr.
