conversations.value: Migrating from Drupal to Backdrop
  The Manage Fields tab includes a new default field on content types, URL Path Settings, because the Path module is included in Backdrop core, whereas it was a contributed module that was not part of Drupal 7 core. Backdrop also provides several field types in core that were available only as contributed modules in Drupal 7. Additional field types include Date, Email, and Link, and there has been a reorganization of numeric fields by grouping integer, float, and decimal with a prefix of Number (see Figure 3-3).
  The administrative interface for blocks is significantly different in Backdrop. Hovering your cursor over the Structure link in the administrator's menu displays a "Custom blocks" link. Clicking "Custom blocks" reveals a page that lists only custom blocks created on this site, not the off-the-shelf blocks provided by Backdrop core. The Backdrop core blocks are displayed only in the administrative interface for creating layouts, which I will cover in Chapter 6.
  The process for creating custom blocks has been significantly simplified in Backdrop. The administrative interface, as shown in Figure 3-4, provides only basic information about the block and not the placement or visibility of the block. Those attributes have been moved to the interface associated with adding a block to a layout and is described in Chapter 6.
  The administrative interface for creating menus has remained relatively unchanged from Drupal 7 to Backdrop, with the primary changes being the names of the menus. The user menu has been renamed to the account menu, the main menu has been renamed primary menu, the management menu has been renamed to administration menu, and the navigation menu in Drupal 7 has been removed in Backdrop.

conversations.value: With the layout complete, I'm now ready to test by creating a new node and viewing that node to validate that the new layout is being used. I'll click the Save Layout button at the bottom of the page, which returns me to the list of available layouts, showing the new layout that I just created as a custom layout (see Figure 7-10).
  After creating a new post content item and viewing the content, I can verify that the new layout is being used to render the page, as shown in Figure 7-11. I can tell the new layout is being used because the footer has the new custom block that I created and does not show the Powered by Backdrop block that appears on the home page of the site.
  While the basic layouts that come with Backdrop core may suffice for your site, there are a growing number of contributed layouts that you can install on your site. You may find the additional layouts by visiting http://backdropcms.org/layouts or on GitHub at http://github.com/backdrop-contrib and then search for Layout. I'm a fan of the Radix layouts and have used them on a majority of my sites over the past year. I'll add those layouts to my Backdrop site to provide several additional structural layouts beyond the four standard structural layouts that come with Backdrop's Layout module.
  While the combination of the off-the-shelf layouts provided by the Layout module when combined with Radix offers a wide variety of structural layout options, there may be cases where you need a layout that doesn't exist. Creating a layout is relatively straightforward, and if you have created custom panel layouts in Panels in Drupal, you'll recognize the process.
  Using standard CSS, I'll create my layout's CSS to address how I want the layout to render and how it behaves through the various breakpoints, making the layout responsive. There are nearly 1,000 lines of CSS for my layout, so to honor brevity, I won't paste the CSS here. However, there is not anything that is unique about a layout's CSS file outside of what you would implement in a typical theme.

conversations.value: In this case, however, automated testing is not likely to be available, so it is even more important to ensure that you are submitting quality code. If the project you are contributing to includes tests, it is best to run these in your browser locally by enabling the SimpleTest module and then visiting admin/config/development/testing and running the individual tests.
  Contrib branches should reflect the core major version (1.x) followed by a hyphen and then your module's major version (1.x). For example, 1.x-2.x indicates it is the 2.x version of a module made for Backdrop 1.x.
  When making official releases of your project on GitHub, please follow the same semantic versioning patterns used by Backdrop core but also include a prefix indicating the version of Backdrop core in which the project is compatible. Contrib release tags should include the core major version followed by a hyphen and then your module's major.minor.patch number. For example 1.x-1.0.0 indicates it is the 1.0.0 release of a project that is compatible with Backdrop 1.x. See the devel module releases for a real-world example.
  There is a growing list of resources available for those who are interested in Backdrop. This appendix contains the primary places to begin your search for more information.
