Pipewrench
Pipewrench is a shared utility module that provides common, site-specific functionality and custom services for internal Drupal projects. It includes features like adding help text to entity titles and is designed for developers and site architects.
Features
Pipewrench is a shared utility module designed for internal reuse across Drupal projects. It provides foundational functionality, custom services, and project-specific enhancements that aren’t appropriate for release as standalone modules but are commonly needed across several sites.
Basic functionality includes:
- Adding Help text to entity titles. Drupal doesn't want you to have nice things
- Changes the help text for Linkit URI Description elements. (Maybe this is too un-universal? It's here for now.)
- More to come.
Post-Installation
After enabling Pipewrench, there is typically no user-facing UI. This module is intended for use by developers and site architects.
Additional Requirements
There are no requirements beyond Drupal core. However, some functions in Pipewrench may expect specific content types, fields, or module scaffolding to exist in the consuming project.
Similar projects
While projects like Helper serve a similar purpose, Pipewrench is opinionated and tailored to our needs. It's not intended as a general-purpose module for the public but can inspire similar internal tools for other teams.
Supporting this Module
Pipewrench is maintained by Lullabot for internal use. Community contributions are welcome, but the module is tailored to internal conventions.
