Current state of Context for Drupal 7 ------------------------------------- Context for D7 is a straight port of Context 3.x from D6. There are no major API changes and any exported contexts from D6 should be compatible with the D7 version. You will need the latest CTools (as of Sept. 16 2010) from here: - http://github.com/sdboyer/ctools ### Working - all conditions except node taxonomy condition - all reactions - context UI - context layouts - inline editor (with Admin 2.x for D7) ### Expect API changes - node taxonomy condition to generic field condition for entities Context 3.x for Drupal 7.x -------------------------- Context allows you to manage contextual conditions and reactions for different portions of your site. You can think of each context as representing a "section" of your site. For each context, you can choose the conditions that trigger this context to be active and choose different aspects of Drupal that should react to this active context. Think of conditions as a set of rules that are checked during page load to see what context is active. Any reactions that are associated with active contexts are then fired. Installation ------------ Context can be installed like any other Drupal module -- place it in the modules directory for your site and enable it (and its requirement, CTools) on the `admin/modules` page. You will probably also want to install Context UI which provides a way for you to edit contexts through the Drupal admin interface. Example ------- You want to create a "pressroom" section of your site. You have a press room view that displays press release nodes, but you also want to tie a book with media resources tightly to this section. You would also like a contact block you've made to appear whenever a user is in the pressroom section. 1. Add a new context on admin/structure/context 2. Under "Conditions", associate the pressroom nodetype, the pressroom view, and the media kit book with the context. 3. Under "Reactions > Menu", choose the pressroom menu item to be set active. 4. Under "Reactions > Blocks", add the contact block to a region. 5. Save the context. For a more in-depth overview of the UI components, see the Context UI `README.txt`. Hooks ----- See `context.api.php` for the hooks made available by context and `API.txt` for usage examples.
