Drupal Dev Notes: How to start contributing to modules on drupal.org

[joelfoit]

Hey Lin, this is probably not related, but I watched your theming videos and was not comfortable with what you call "Drupal recommended practices" for altering .tpl.php core files. What happens for instance, when a client wants to upgrade to D7?

Do you then have to go in each individual .tpl.php file and hope that you remember all the changes and tweaking that was done to the earlier version? How does your way of theming .tpl.php core files go with upgrading to a higher version of Drupa? Thx btw

@joelfoit This video is about writing patches for Drupal modules. You can ask your question on the video that it is related to, which is also on this YouTube channel.

Great video! Sometimes it's just more important to show people the right fundamentals to begin with. Thanks Lin!

Any chance you can do a video tutorial on how to actually create a module? I cant find any good ones out there. There are some that are paid sites though.
