Accessibility, User Experience & Marketing

Security measures and accessibility don’t always play nice. Captchas, timed logins, alert pop-ups, gated content, and modals are often used for security but not all assistive technology can get their users past the barriers.

Objectives

- You will learn how some security efforts can be barriers to those who use assistive technology

- Learn how different user agents interact with digital assets

- You will walk away with accessible solutions to generally inaccessible 3rd party options

We’ll look at practical and straightforward ways to implement solutions that are open source, secure and accessible, keeping folks from abandoning your digital assets.

Innovation & The future

ChatGPT has dramatically reshaped our interactions with technology. What was initially perceived as a platform for generating amusing memes has evolved into a robust tool due to a series of incremental yet revolutionary advancements. The advent of versions like ChatGPT 3.5 and 4 have unveiled their potential to generate effective code, including YAML files, and serve as digital librarians managing our resource libraries with proficiency.

Given Drupal's inherent structure, we posit that we may be able to delegate a significant chunk of site builder functionality to ChatGPT, leveraging its natural language processing capabilities.

In this talk, we will demonstrate two modules we have developed. The first exploits ChatGPT to generate views entirely from scratch while giving ChatGPT the necessary field and entity structure to create more complex views. The second integrates with Search API, enabling queries within the resources hosted on Drupal, including PDFs, nodes, and more.

We will initiate the discussion with a high-level demonstration of the module functionality and then delve deeper into their intricacies. This will help our audience comprehend the potentially advanced applications of ChatGPT within the Drupal ecosystem. Lastly, we will explore the future trajectory of this technology and its potential impact.

The tools we will be exploring are as follows:

ChatGPT and Large Language Models (LLMs)
Vector search through Pinecone
Embedding techniques
The concept of Langchain
Drupal's Search API AI project (https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_ai)
Freelygive's Views ChatGPT project on Gitlab (https://gitlab.com/freelygive/views_chatgpt)
OpenAI's Drupal project (https://www.drupal.org/project/openai)

Note: Summary has been written with Chatgpt because I feel that is necessary!

The Form API is a Drupal powerful system to create all kind of forms. However, given its complexity, it may be hard to completely understand it and is easy to end up fighting against it when building complex forms.

The existent documentation is good but there's a lack of a general but detailed picture of the whole form request flow from the form building to the end submission, including all possible rebuilds due to validation errors, requests in a multi-step form or other form actions.

This talk will explain all the phases of a form request flow, from the initial build, alterations, send to client, form rebuild (when and why), to cache mechanisms, handlers execution or how AJAX requests are handled. The session features the Form API Internal Workflow that was contributed to help developers better understand the Form API.

Attendees should have basic technical knowledge about involved mechanisms (HTTP requests, Render Arrays, PHP POO and form basics). The session will try to give a general knowledge about the complete life-cycle of a form request detailing its key aspects. After this session, you'll understand how the Form API and Drupal handle forms and you'll be more confident when you need to alter, extend or use forms in a complex or advanced fashion.
