In these videos we use Komodo IDE, which comes with xDebug integration but also a hefty price tag. Since then we've had a number of suggestions for other, free IDEs that have xDebug support, including NetBeans and Aptana Studio, both of which we've tried and like.

Below is a list of additional bits of information for this video, including parts where time has shown that additional explanation is required. If updates to Drupal affect how the video will be interpreted, there will also be updates here.

The File Styles module is no longer required
Added on March 08, 2012
An update to the Media module removed the dependency on File Styles, so we don't necessarily need to go searching for it. But, this is a good example of what to do in situations where you need to find a specific module.

Added on March 08, 2012
When creating the date field in the content type, when you uncheck the time components, the "Time zone handling" disappears, but continues to hold the default value of "Site's time zone". In order to keep the time component of 00:00:00 from displaying, change it to "no time zone conversion" before unchecking the time components.

Added on March 08, 2012
In this video, as we add a piece of content there are no options for 'comments'. This is because in a previous video we accidentally turned the Comments module off. In order to match up with the video, you may need to disable comments for this node. An alternative would be to disable comments for this content type to avoid turning off comments for each individual node.

The Views Exporter module has been removed
Added on March 08, 2012
When we install the Views module(s) in this video, there is one module you won't see now called "Views Exporter". For this same functionality, you can use the CTools bulk exporter module.

How to sort view fields and fix broken sort handlersMultiple changes to interface when adding a Date field
Added on July 15, 2015
In later versions of the Date module, there have been a number of updates to the interface, making the steps you take a little different when adding a field.
- When installing the date module, you have to set the date and timezone..
- There are a reduced number of Date field widgets now.
- The field settings are quite a bit different now than what you see in the tutorial.
We no longer run into the warning about timezones as timezone handling is removed automatically once we deselect 'hour'. As for 'To' date, we choose to collect it but do not make it required.
On the second configuration screen, most options we are looking for can now be found under 'More settings and values' - click to expand the fieldset.

Added on March 07, 2012
In this video we add a date-based filter. Updates to the Date module, however have changed the interface a bit. So instead of selecting "Fields: Dates (field_date_range) - value" you have to select "Content: Dates - start date (field_date_range)". Also, the widget for the date range has changed.

In this video we delete a field from a content type, and this causes a field to break in the View. However, in newer versions of Views, this is no longer a problem and the field will be removed from the View as well. Woot!

Added on October 29, 2013
Because of a little snafu in a previous video where we accidentally turned the Comment module off, you don't see the 'Comments' options in this video. But, you should go ahead and turn commenting off for this particular content type by selecting either 'Closed' or 'Hidden.'
