Drupal Advent Calendar Module on Drupal Advent Calendar Day 4
The fourth day of the Drupal Advent Calendar presents James Shields himself sharing insights into the inception of the Drupal Advent Calendar module and its evolution. The idea to create a Drupal-themed Advent Calendar dawned on James in November last year as he fell asleep at night. It was inspired by an alternative LEGO Advent Calendar and the "Module of the Week" segment on the Talking Drupal podcast.
Matthieu Scarset guided him on how to use the Calendar View Module for his venture. However, the module did not give his idea the look of a traditional Advent Calendar. It seemed like a stop-gap measure. Shields perceived doors that open on clicks to reveal the content behind them and open only up to the appropriate day.
