Talking Drupal #510 – Evolving Drupal Hooks and Exploring Media Folders Module
Episode 510 of Talking Drupal features Karoly Négyesi, also known as Chx, discussing the evolution of Drupal hooks. The conversation explores why hooks have changed at their core, how developers should adapt, and what practices to follow moving forward. Topics include procedural hooks, theme hooks, preprocess hooks, and their object-oriented replacements.
The module of the week is Media Folders, presented by Martin Anderson‑Clutz. This module offers a folder-style interface for media, supporting taxonomy-based organisation, drag-and-drop, recursive search, and CKEditor integration. Maintained by João Mauricio, it’s stable, Drupal 10/11 compatible, and currently used on over 60 sites.
The episode combines technical insights on Drupal's backend evolution with practical module recommendations for content editors.
