We are on a mission to get to know our talent better. This week we caught up with 4-star strategist Rachel P., an indie game developer with a passion for amphibians. Rachel is also a 6-star writer with WriterAccess!
Q: Where did your attraction to video games come from and what are some of your favorites?
A: Back in the '80s when most households didn't have computers yet, mine was one of the few that did because my father was very interested in technology and tinkering with stuff. He showed me how to use a computer at a time when children didn't really use them, and I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a game developer when I first played the King's Quest series at 5 and went on to play the other Sierra and LucasArts classics. Adventure games fostered my love of storytelling and using wits instead of reflexes to play a game. My favorites still are King's Quest 6, Monkey Island 2, Full Throttle, virtually any RPG by Spiderweb, and a whole heap of totally obscure Adventure Game Studio and super old Mac games that are the punk and hardcore demo tapes of old shareware.
Q: How does being a tax and accounting professional tie into your other areas of interest?
A: I wound up going to school for accounting because I thought I couldn't make a living in video games … only to become a CFO during a game studio's reorganization when I was in grad school in 2011. I initially studied economics and business administration after I gave programming a shot, but decided I didn't want to do it for a living. I then switched to accounting because I thought the MBA bubble might burst. My very first day at a Wall Street firm was the day of the Bear Stearns collapse, and I didn't get my degree until the height of the Great Recession. I said my final goodbyes to the financial industry in 2014.
I still hold an Enrolled Agent license, but no longer practice. I solely maintain it to write about tax law which helps fund my game development and other pursuits in media. After my departure from Big Tax Law, I wrote The Definitive Guide to Taxes for Indie Game Developers which remains the first and only tax law guide just for us. I'll happily write your tax book, blog post, or Tax Court opinion (or help your tax office out with a solid content strategy!) so I can return to making this really stupid game about clam chowder when I'm done.
I also use my tax law experience to help other creative professionals out of a bind and fight for the public policy issues I care deeply about. Being able to do my own taxes for my various ventures is also pretty sweet.
Q: What has been a favorite content strategy project/product of yours thus far? Why?
A: I particularly enjoy working on keyword maps and research. What I love about content strategy in general is that, much like game development, there's the intuitive storytelling side and then the side that relies on hard data and mechanical solutions.
Researching keywords and mapping them are two different processes that take a lot of the mystery out of figuring out what people are literally searching for. What you think someone is searching for can actually be totally different from what the actual search term is, along with the total search volume. Things like volume and ranking difficulty are important so you can determine if it's worth it to use that keyword or if it's not worth pursuing. Having the data science to back up your intuition helps you make more informed decisions regarding content.
As for other content strategy projects, I am also proud to have created the first online lesson/webinar about content strategy just for game developers. It's also a great primer in content marketing and strategy even if you're not in games, as no prior game development experience or marketing knowledge is necessary to learn from it.
Q: What do you think is the hardest lesson for companies investing in content strategy to learn?
A: Similar to doing business and financial consulting, you often have to deliver news that people don't want to hear. In this case, this news is usually that their ranking isn't so good or engagement is lacking in their current content (which is why they want a content strategist, obviously). Other times though, the toughest lesson is that the company is creating content that's easier for them to work with as opposed to what really resonates with their current audience and/or effectively draws in the audience they want.
Content strategy after all is exactly that: understanding what your audience wants. THAT can be a hard lesson when you've always done things a certain way or just go with what's easier as opposed to what will actually be more effective.
It may just be easier to have an in-house writer write about the topics they know well and produce X number of 500-word pieces a day when the audience is actually craving long-form content about different topics. Or, like what keyword research and mapping has shown in my experience, it's easier to work with a bunch of keywords you think are worth targeting, but then it turns out that almost no one is searching for those terms.
Making changes based on those recommendations, often backed by data science, can be scary. But if you're going to invest in content strategy, you should want to make those changes.
Q: What are some hurdles you've faced with regards to a business's content approach?
A: That "good" content is focused more on quality and attributes rather than what the audience wants. Writing quality and attributes (e.g. word count, split into several headings or larger paragraphs) are certainly important, but they're not the only things to think about in approaching content. Delivery is also important! A lot of companies tend to put on what I call the "blog post blinders" in that a blog isn't the only way you can create and deliver content.
Each company's content needs are unique because their audience is unique. While no one's audience is ever monolithic, and you can't make everyone happy, there are so many evaluation and analytics tools you can use to really see whether your content is working or not. Though being able to look beyond "this is how we've always done it" or "this is easier" is definitely a hurdle I've faced.
Q: How do you stay updated on the latest news in your focus industries and on content strategy in general?
A: I like reading The Freelancer's and Cloudpeeps' newsletters. They're very helpful, and I learn a lot from them. WriterAccess itself also puts out great content pertaining to the latest updates in the content strategy sphere, and SearchEngineLand is also where I stay up to date on that.
For tax stuff, I'm on the IRS NewsWire and attend live CPE usually once a year. If you're going to the IRS Tax Forum in San Diego this year, I'm probably the only tax law expert in that room with neon blue hair, so feel free to say hi. But it's really my tax office clients who keep me on my toes there when I have to research something for them, and I know exactly where to look for authoritative references.
For game dev stuff, I'm a frequent contributor to Gamasutra and pay attention to industry happenings over there and on VentureBeat's GamesBeat. As Playcrafting's business instructor, I'm also constantly on top of what's happening in the indie games world and NYC's thriving indie developer community through our local events. I also participate in the games industry conference circuit heavily as both a speaker and attendee.
Q: When stepping away from writing and managing content, what do you do to give yourself a break?
A: I'm a crazy toad lady, so I love hanging around amphibians and looking at cute toad videos on YouTube. Petting toads is extremely relaxing. They're REALLY underrated pets, and you always have in-house debugging. Sadly, I lost my amphibious companion last year. I plan to adopt another toad when I return from my West Coast Ranting Tour this fall.
When I'm not in the marshes of the southeast Bronx being surrounded by mountain toads, I'm usually at local punk and hardcore shows, or at the skate park alone or with friends. I also hang a lot at game jams and developer events, or at home with vaporwave and retrowave cranked up while I do some sewing.
Q: What does your current workspace look like?
A: Today, it's a tea lounge in lower Manhattan. Tomorrow is probably going to be the local Starbucks since my side of the Bronx is otherwise lacking in coffee shops. I've got a standard desktop PC for home surrounded by a ton of Post-Its with ideas for new projects and games. A nice uncluttered Chromebook and iPad for the road because I love being a digital nomad lite.
The other day it was IKEA. Did you know you can get a pretty sweet vegetarian meal for like $6? Watching people excited to furnish a new home—or arguing to no end about it—is also pretty entertaining, and the wifi in the Red Hook location is stable. If you go around 2PM on a Tuesday, you'll have no trouble getting a table!

The Waterspirit of Sugar Loaf
by Charles E. Brown and Edmund L. Runals
(42) Some years ago Mr. Charles Simmons (Edmund L. Runals) published in the Ripon Free Press a story said to be based on a (43) local Indian legend, of an "enchanted" island said to have existed in the lake between the Sugar Loaf and the Three Pines. It was the abode of terrible creatures (manitos) who lived in its caverns and crawled out upon the barren rocks. Some were good and some evil spirits. One of these was the "Great Lizard" of the Sugar Loaf, to which he gives the name "Wau-ke-pon." He was stationed upon the promontory to give warning of the approach of enemies. He was slain here, the burial mound representing his severed head.1
Commentary. "Edmund L. Runals" — born the son of a New York farmer in 1826, he moved west to Wisconsin in 1846, shortly after being married. They left their farm to move to Ripon, in 1851. Four years later, he was admitted to the bar in Fond du Lac. Described as a "self-made man," and after serving in many elected offices, in 1864 he became a judge. The United States Biographical Dictionary and Portrait Gallery of Eminent and Self-made Men: Wisconsin Volume, Volume 1 (Chicago: American Biographical Publishing Co., 1877) 126. W. T. Runals, the son of Edmund, is shown owning lakeside property in Section 6 on a 1901 map.
"Ripon Free Press" — extant from 1870-1895.
"the lake" — this is Green Lake near Ripon, Wisconsin.
"Sugar Loaf" — a promontory jutting out into Green Lake (see map). In Hocąk it is called, Įnį́bosarajᵋra, "The Stone that Stands Erect."
"manitos" — an Algonquian word meaning, "spirit." C. E. Brown generally used this word in place of the harder to pronounce Hocąk equivalent, waxopį́nį. The spirit in question is what is conventionally termed a "Waterspirit." As spirits, they constituted the essence of water itself, but manifested themselves individually in the form of great animals whose bodies could resembled bears, panthers, or even snakes. They were particularly characterized by exceedingly long tails, representing the lengthy channels of water, and their humanoid heads sported horns, usually branching like a cervid. These represented the branches of rivers and streams. The mounds usually described as "panther," in this context short for "water panther," represent what the Hocągara referred as Wakcexi, which we conventionally term "Waterspirits."
"caverns" — like springs, Waterspirits were inhabitants of underground channels which were believed to be extensive networks branching out all over the nether regions of the earth. Normally, Waterspirits lived in these underworld channels which opened into waterways, allowing a Waterspirit to appear at will in its own lake or river.
"Wau-ke-pon" — although, like manito, this word looks Algonquian, it can be seen as slightly corrupted Hocąk. Waką most commonly means "snake," although more fundamentally waką means "sacred," the snake being so-called because it was deemed a particularly sacred creature, most especially because it could slough off its skin, an image of rebirth. The word has been displaced by its expanded version, wakącą́k, "greatly sacred." The word pa, here represented by "pon," means "head." However, the resultant name is not "Great Lizard." Since the story relates to the burial of a Waterspirit's head, the name "Sacred Head," Wakąpa, seems wholly appropriate. However, it should be noted that Waterspirits come in many varieties, including Serpent Waterspirits. Therefore, waką could be deliberately ambiguous, meaning "Serpent Head" as well. The confusion in the meaning of the word waką may have led to the Waterspirit being called (in English) the "Great Lizard," where, clearly, the word "lizard" is serving in place of "reptile." Indeed, the expression Wakącą́k-pa could be understood as the "Great Serpent's head." Since the creature had legs, as portrayed in the Waterspirit (or "panther") mound nearby, naturally it would be reinterpreted as being a lizard, the quadrupedal counterpart (and as it happens, the evolutionary original) of the snake.
"enemies" — the enemies of Waterspirits were the Thunderbirds. Normally, Waterspirits came out only on sunny days when they could be certain that the dark clouds whence their enemies would strike, were absent from the sky.

|The Sugar Loaf Waterspirit Mound
"the burial mound" — C. E. Brown says this about the mounds:
On the north shore of and jutting into Green Lake is a high rocky promontory known as the Sugar Loaf. On the crest of this peninsula, whose shore is washed on one side by the lake and on the other by Norwegian Bay, are two ancient Indian earthworks which are known to most of the people who own summer homes on the Green Lake shores. One of these is a large panther effigy and the other a conical mound. Both are within a few feet of the edge of the steep lake bank. The body of the huge effigy is 44 feet and its tail 188 feet in length. The distance across its body between its limbs is 15 feet. Its body is about three feet high. The head of this effigy is not very prominent, but it is in all other respects a remarkably fine example of its particular class of animal shaped mounds. Forty-four feet beyond this mound is the burial mound mentioned. This mound is 30 feet in diameter at its base and is said to have been originally about 4 feet high. Its margin is within about 10 feet of the edge of the bank. The mounds are in a grove of oak and cedar trees.2
It's conceivable that the Waterspirit was represented with its head detached as in the story, rather than the story arising in part to explain the detached burial mound.

Scientific Name: Timandra comae
Common Name: Blood-vein
Timandra comae, more commonly known as the Blood-vein, is a moth of the family Geometridae. This attractive moth has a wingspan of between 23-28mm, and is fairly common in the southern counties of England and Wales, but scarcer further north and in Ireland.
The adult, when resting, holds the wings in such a position that the reddish cross-lines of the fore and hind wings form a continuous band. The fringes of the wings are also suffused with pink. The posterior edge of the hindwing is sharply angled giving a distinctive shape.
Two broods are produced each year with the adults flying in May and June and again in August and September. It flies at night and is attracted to light. The larva is grey-brown with darker spots on the back. In the UK, it feeds on the leaves of a variety of plants including dock, knotgrass, sorrel and orache, and overwinters as a larva.
https://www.uknature.co.uk is a website dedicated to showing the immense diversity of UK nature and wildlife. Our vast range of habitats, from lowland arable to snow covered mountains, from storm-ravaged coastlines to peaceful inland freshwater lakes and rivers, from dry, sandy heaths to deciduous and coniferous forests, all these habitats contribute to the abundance of UK nature. We have wild birds in huge numbers either residing or visiting our shores (597 recorded species as at July 2013) and we must also not forget the humble back garden with its grass lawns, flower beds filled with nectar rich flowers, shrubs and trees, all designed to attract huge numbers of insects such as bees, moths, butterflies and hoverflies; and finally the small ponds which provide safe havens for frogs, toads, newts and even slow worms and grass snakes. www.uknature.co.uk is the showcase for my personal passion, photographing uknature in all its glory. I sincerely hope you all enjoy the fruits of my labours.

How to Prepare for an INTEGRIS Sleep Study
Posted in
Sleep is much more complex than you might think. Every night, your body goes through an intricate process of relative unconsciousness with various stages, or realms, of sleep.
Unfortunately, sleep issues like chronic snoring, insomnia or sleep apnea can interrupt these sleep patterns and leave you feeling tired or having difficulty concentrating throughout the day. If you're showing symptoms of a sleep disorder, your doctor may order a sleep study. Here's how to be prepared.
What is a sleep study?
A sleep study is the most accurate way to diagnose most sleep disorders like sleep apnea, snoring, narcolepsy, movement disorders like restless leg syndrome and insomnia. It involves monitoring many aspects of your sleep for the entire night and measuring your sleep characteristics during light and deep sleeping.
The INTEGRIS Sleep Disorders Center of Oklahoma has a team of technologists that work together to monitor your sleep, including your brain activity, heart rate, oxygen level and breathing pattern.
What happens when you go in for a sleep study?
Most labs want to test you for at least seven hours for accurate results. The rooms are designed to make you feel comfortable and are more like hotel rooms, rather than hospital rooms, to help you fall asleep faster and easier.
The only difference is that you may notice a video camera or two in the room to record your movements. You'll also be fitted with whatever is needed for your sleep study, which may include wired sensors and other devices to track your sleep and movement.
What should you bring?
The INTEGRIS Sleep Center recommends you bring anything you would typically need during a night's stay away from home. This can include:
- Pajamas or other sleep attire that you'll be comfortable in
- Toiletries (toothbrush and paste, brush, contact case and solution)
- Clothes for the next day
- Special needs items (a light snack, reading material, etc.)
- Personal bedding items like pillows and blankets are discouraged
The UCLA Sleep Disorders Center says that some medications can actually hinder sleep study results, so it's important that your sleep doctor is up-to-date with your current medications, including sleep aids. If you're worried about falling asleep because of your medications, be sure and let your doctor know and they can find the best solution for you.
What information can you learn from a sleep study?
A sleep study, also referred to as a polysomnogram, is really just a series of many sleep recordings. These recordings measure brain wave activity, eye movement and also muscle movement. Other recordings may capture electrical activity of the heart.
Sleep doctors cover every aspect of what could be affecting your sleep. This could be certain stressors throughout your day, medications you're taking, or other health problems like diabetes. With this information, doctors are able to determine the root cause of common sleep problems and can prescribe what is needed.
Once you receive your results and speak with your doctor, there are many resources provided by INTEGRIS to get you what you need. In the recent On Your Health article about CPAP machines for sleep apnea, we cover everything you need to know about the CPAP machine and how to work with your insurance provider if a CPAP machine is the ideal solution for you.

Schedules - let us select hours
When we select Custom repeat - Month or Week - wee see days or week days, which is good.
Bu when we select Custom repeat - Day we need to be able to select hours. Like that:
This is to have presence imitation, irrigation and other most used automations
In case of work with Hours in Schedule there should be 3 types of repetition:
- Every Hour
- Every [X] Hours
- Every [X] Days in [Y, Z, W] Hours
Every Hour (Template)
event will be in process from 28-th to 29-th minute of each hour, every day.
[17:28 ... 17: 29] > [18:28 ... 18: 29] > [19:28 ... 19: 29] > [20:28 ... 20: 29] > ...
Every [X] Hours (Custom > By Hours)
event will be in process from 28-th to 29-th minute of hour with some interval in hours
[17:28 ... 17: 29] > [19:28 ... 19: 29] > [21:28 ... 21: 29] > ...
Every [X] Days in [Y, Z, W] Hours (Custom > By Days > On specified hours)
22.03 --- [07:00 ... 07: 05] > [12:00 ... 12: 05] > [18:00 ... 18: 05] > [22:00 ... 22: 05]
23.03 --- no events
24.03 --- [07:00 ... 07: 05] > [12:00 ... 12: 05] > [18:00 ... 18: 05] > [22:00 ... 22: 05]
25.03 --- no events
if the option "Finish: [ ] Specify the date" is active (start and finish of event occurs in a different days) you cannot use a repetition by Hours (as a template or periodicity option).
PS1: This is how we are able to do it. If you have any comments or requests please write it here
PS2: The images is made in Paint as a sample, do not search for this settings in Studio yet
Also I would suggest 2 things:
- schedule time/repeat settings become available as Virtual Group channels / feedbacks, so user is able to change them
- sunrise / sunset [+ / - time] is available as start and repeat option (should have the code available for offline usage here: http://www.risacher.org/sunwait/). It would require setup of the timezone by installer.
[ 1th thing]
The first step is already planned.
You will not be able to change a global repetition pronciple, it is not possible - the list of channels (setings) cannot change on project already started on panel.
How it is planned:
// .Enabled (always available) Schedule 1.Weekend // how it works right now // Start (always available) Schedule 1.Weekend.Start.Day Schedule 1.Weekend.Start.Month Schedule 1.Weekend.Start.Year Schedule 1.Weekend.Start.Hour Schedule 1.Weekend.Start.Minute // Finish (always available) Schedule 1.Weekend.Finish.Day Schedule 1.Weekend.Finish.Month Schedule 1.Weekend.Finish.Year Schedule 1.Weekend.Finish.Hour Schedule 1.Weekend.Finish.Minute // End (available only when turned on in Scheduler settings) Schedule 1.Weekend.End.Day // сами парсим значение Schedule 1.Weekend.End.Month Schedule 1.Weekend.End.Year // Repeat: EveryDay, Week, Mnth, ... - doesn't have a repetition settings // Repeat: Custom - the list of settings depends on repetition type // Repetition types: // By Days Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByDays.CycleInDays // every N days // By Weeks Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.CycleInWeeks // every N weeks Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Sunday // activity in some day Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Monday Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Tuesday Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Wednesday Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Thursday Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Friday Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Saturday // By Months Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByMonths.CycleInMonths // every N months Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByMonths.Dates // 0100...01 (31) in one of 31 days, binary format // или Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByMonths.CycleInMonths // every N months Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByMonths.WeekOfMonth // 1..5 Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByMonths.DayOfWeek // 1..7 // By Years Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByYears.CycleInYears // every N yesrs Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByYears.Months // 010...001 (12) in one of 12 months, binary format // only if turned on: Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByYears.WeekOfMonth // 1..5 Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByYears.DayOfWeek // 1..7 // Status of scheduler (In process / Not in process) Schedule 1.Weekend.Status // read only
in iRidium Server driver it will be available as a folder with channels for each scheduler:
+ iRidium Server + Schedulers + Weekend + Commands (19) - Schedule 1.Weekend - Schedule 1.Weekend.Start.Day - Schedule 1.Weekend.Start.Month - Schedule 1.Weekend.Start.Year - Schedule 1.Weekend.Start.Hour - Schedule 1.Weekend.Start.Minute - Schedule 1.Weekend.Finish.Day - Schedule 1.Weekend.Finish.Month - Schedule 1.Weekend.Finish.Year - Schedule 1.Weekend.Finish.Hour - Schedule 1.Weekend.Finish.Minute - Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.CycleInWeeks - Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Sunday - Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Monday - Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Tuesday - Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Wednesday - Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Thursday - Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Friday - Schedule 1.Weekend.Repeat.ByWeeks.Saturday + Feedback (20) - --||-- // the same as commands - Schedule 1.Weekend.Status
[2th thing]
sunrise / sunset.. maybe it is better to add it like external JS modules for those who need it.
It is not about timezone, but the latitude and longitude.
We don't plan to add it in the next update of Schedulers, it is better to start with the more popular requests
Now, I don't see repeat setting schedule by hours!
I want to set ON lighting : 7,9,11,13,..hour
repeat: Mon, Tu, Wen, Thu, Fri
Can you guide for me!
It will be different schedules for each hour
Yes, that's right!
Now, Iridium i3 pro is not yet developed so that my customer can edit the schedule by themselves, EX: schedule, circulate, random,..It still depends on the installer,
it's quite complicated. So you can see the photo below:
Actually you can use editable routines and schedules https://dev.iridi.com/IRidium_studio_2019_Routines/en#Setting_Editable_Routines
I like it!
Me too!
Is this now possible? Is the server driver in place as this would be really useful on my current project
It's not ready yet.
do you have an ETA for this?
What I really am interested in is the driver, or api to code the scheduling in my script
The closest date of the beginning of the development - April 2018
Has changing schedules from user panels possible yet?
Is there any more information available. I have a weekly schedule that runs on certain days of the week and I need to be able to change/select those days from the panel.
It is not entirely clear what additional information is needed. Doesn't the example give an understanding of how this works?
Hello, I can't download demo project via link, you can check for me ? Thanks
Try this direct link https://iridiumdeveloperdoc.s3.amazonaws.com/JS%20sampleas%20and%20docs/Schedule_edit.zip
The example show how to set for a certain day and time. I have a weekly schedule for irrigation and would like to select the days the event should run. ie 5pm to 6pm - Mon, Wed, Fri
So looking at the example I can set Start and Finish Date and Time. Am I allowed to set repeat. For example - Custom and select the days from the panel ie. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday etc. What happened to setting tokens as shown in the posts above?
Soon we will update an example with "repeat settings"
Do you have a sample of repeat settings yet? If not can you just send information on what the parameters are so I can continue with my project. Scheduling is working but I need this final piece.
I also receive the following error on the server when passing multiple events. Is this a limitation imposed by iRidium since web sockets can send more than 900 bytes.
ERROR CORE Tag Event From Server string is to big to Web socket. Limit is about 900 bytes for name_len and value_len.
Any update? I need this final piece to complete my project.
Could you please add some manual on how to set and read all parameters from the Scheduler ?
From the example I can see only:
is there any other items we can access ? which is the object structure ?

I've had this striped paper for quite awhile and decided it was finally time to use it. The red/white striped paper is Recollections, as well as the heart brads. There's some red, white and black card stock for layering. I used a Spellbinders die for the center shape and fussy cut the black layer. The sentiment is Fiskars and stamped in SU Real Red. For a bit more detail, I added some baker's twine.
When I showed this card to my hubby, he said it reminded him of an old popcorn box. I realized he was right!

Sugar Land family law attorney Chikeersha Puvvada presents a family law learning center for you. Click on the expanding selections below to find answers to your questions about family law in Texas.
To file for divorce in Texas, you must have lived in Texas for the past 6 months, and lived in the county where you plan to file for the past 90 days. These rules don't apply to military personal from Texas out of state on duty.
1. Marriage has become "Insupportable" - this is a no-fault divorce where the only reason needed is that the couple can no longer sustain their relationship.
2. Cruel Treatment - either spouse must be guilty of cruel treatment toward the other spouse that renders living together insupportable.
3. Adultery.
4. Conviction of a felony and imprisonment for at least 1 year.
5. Abandonment for more than 1 year.
6. Separation for more than 3 years.
7. Confinement in a mental hospital for at least 3 years.
In Texas, a divorce cannot be granted until 60 days after the divorce suit is filed. However, that's the earliest a divorce can be granted. If the spouses aren't in agreement on how to end the marriage, then the divorce can take a lot longer. For example, if a trial is necessary, it ideally should take 7 to 12 months to get to trial, but sometimes it may take even longer.
Usually, if the parties reach a settlement agreement and don't go to trial, marital property is divided in whatever way the parties agreed. If the divorce does go through trial, Texas courts have the power to make a "just and right" division of all community property. What's "just and right" is determined by the court on a case by case basis. There are many factors the court can consider, including: fault in breakup, disparity of incomes, disparity of age, spouses' financial positions, spouses' health, children's needs, length of marriage and spouses' earning potential. Note, "just and right" division only extends to community property, and a court does not have the power to divide a spouse's separate property during divorce.
Basically, separate property is any property owned or claimed before marriage. Separate property also includes property inherited or received as a gift during marriage. Finally, separate property also includes any recovery for personal injuries sustained during marriage, excluding recovery for loss of earning capacity.
Community property is any property acquired during marriage that is not separate property. All property is presumed to be community property unless proven otherwise.
For an explanation of how alimony works in Texas, read our article No Alimony, Just Spousal Maintenance.
In Texas, you cannot remarry until 30 days after the court grants your divorce unless the court waives the prohibition against remarriage.
An uncontested divorce is the fastest and cheapest way to get a divorce. For an uncontested divorce to work, both spouses must agree on the divorce settlement. Usually, only one spouse hires an attorney. The attorney files a petition for divorce with the court, and the non-filing spouse signs a Waiver of Citation, thereby relieving the filing spouse from serving the non-filing spouse with process. The attorney then drafts the agreed upon divorce decree and submits the decree to the court. The decree divorces the parties and states, among other matters, how marital property will be divided, custody of any children and spousal maintenance, if any. The attorney and the filing spouse eventually go before the judge. After the attorney asks his client some routine questions, the judge grants the divorce by signing the divorce decree.
There is no such thing as legal separation in Texas. That is, there is no unique legal status in Texas for a couple that is still married but no longer living together. In Texas, either you're married or you're not. However, there are options for those who want to remain married but live separately.
In regards to any children, either parent can file a Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship (SAPCR) while still married to the other parent. A SAPCR determines how custody, visitation and child support will work. While SACPRs are typically part of a divorce suit or used when the parents are not married, nothing in the Texas Family Code prevents a SAPCR from being filed by two parents who are still married. In fact, two 2014 cases out of the Second District and Third District of the Court of Appeals of Texas held that child support can be ordered even while the parties are still married to each other.
In regards to assets and debts, a married couple can enter into a marital property agreement to legally divide their assets and debts without the necessity of a divorce.
By using a SAPCR and a marital property agreement, spouses can have many of the legal benefits of a divorce without actually being divorced.
For an explanation of how child support is calculated in Texas, read our article Calculating Child Support.
The court can order child support to be paid until the child is 18 years old or until the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. For child support to continue when the child is 18 years old, the child needs to be in an accredited secondary school in a program leading toward a high school diploma. Child support can end early if the child is emancipated by order of a court or through marriage. However, child support can be required indefinitely if the child is disabled.
For an explanation of the basics of conservatorship in Texas, read our article The Basics of Child Custody in Texas.
Texas has a standard possession and visitation order that is presumed by law to be in the best interests of children. For the purpose of answering this frequently asked question, we're assuming both parents have been appointed as the conservators of the child. Also, when we use the term "non-custodial parent," we mean the parent with whom the child does not live.
Under the standard possession order, if the non-custodial parent lives within 50 miles of the primary residence of the child, the non-custodial parent has possession during: (1) the first, third and fifth weekends each month, starting Friday when school lets out and ending Monday when school resumes, (2) every Thursday during the school year, starting when school lets out and ending on Friday when school resumes, (3) the child's spring vacation during even-numbered years, starting when school lets out on the day school is dismissed for vacation and ending when school resumes on the first day after the vacation, and (4) 30 days in the summer.
If the non-custodial parent lives between 50 miles and 100 miles from the primary residence of the child, the non-custodial parent has possession during: (1) the first, third and fifth weekends each month, starting Friday at 6pm and ending Sunday at 6pm, (2) from 6pm to 8pm every Thursday during the school year, (3) the child's spring vacation during even-numbered years, starting at 6pm on the day school is dismissed for vacation and ending at 6pm on the day before school resumes, and (4) 30 days in the summer.
If the non-custodial parent lives more than 100 miles from the primary residence of the child, the non-custodial parent has two options for possession under the standard possession order. Under the first option, the non-custodial parent has possession the first, third and fifth weekends each month, starting Friday at 6pm and ending Sunday at 6pm. Under the second alternative option, the non-custodial parent has possession one weekend per month, a weekend of the non-custodial parent's choice, provided the non-custodial parent notifies the custodial parent at least 14 days before the selected weekend. If the non-custodial parent prefers the second alternative option, then the non-custodial parent must select the alternative option by notifying the custodial parent within 90 days after the parents start living more than 100 miles from each other. The non-custodial parent also has possession during: (1) the child's spring vacation every year, starting at 6pm on the day school is dismissed for vacation and ending at 6pm on the day before school resumes, and (2) 42 days in the summer.
Under the standard possession order, there are certain holiday periods of possession. The non-custodial parent has possession of the child: (1) in even-numbered years beginning at 6 p.m. or when school lets out on the day the child is dismissed from school for the Christmas school vacation and ending at noon on December 28; (2) in odd-numbered years beginning at noon on December 28 and ending at 6 p.m. on the day before school resumes after Christmas vacation or when school resumes after Christmas vacation; and (3) in odd-numbered years, beginning at 6 p.m. or at the time school lets out on the day the child is dismissed from school before Thanksgiving and ending at 6 p.m. on the following Sunday or when school resumes after the Thanksgiving. Also, the parent not otherwise entitled under the standard possession order to possession of the child on the child's birthday gets possession of the child beginning at 6 p.m. and ending at 8 p.m. on that day, provided that the parent picks up the child from the residence of the parent entitled to possession and returns the child to that same place. The father has possession of the child beginning at 6 p.m. on the Friday preceding Father's Day and ending on Father's Day at 6 p.m., provided that, if he is not otherwise entitled under the standard possession order to possession of the child, he picks up the child from the residence of the mother and returns the child to that same place. The mother has possession of the child beginning at 6 p.m. or when school lets out on the Friday preceding Mother's Day and ending on Mother's Day at 6 p.m. or when school resumes after Mother's Day, provided that, if she is not otherwise entitled under the standard possession order to possession of the child, she picks up the child from the residence of the father and returns the child to that same place.
A common law marriage is when a couple is considered married despite neither having a marriage license nor going through a marriage ceremony. A common law marriage requires that the parties agreed to be married, lived together as husband and wife and represented to others that they were married.

Summary: What are you supposed to do about your monthly child support payments if you lost your job or make less money because of the pandemic?
Summary: Learn how 50/50 possession schedules in Texas work.
Summary: Learn how the maximum child support amount increased in 2019.
Summary: Learn about standard international travel provisions in Texas child custody orders.
Summary: Learn how long distance visitation works in a Texas child custody case.
Summary: Learn what not to do in a child custody case.
Summary: Learn what safeguards can make co-parenting with an abusive ex tolerable.
Summary: Learn how monthly child support obligations are calculated in Texas.
Summary: Learn how one parent can harm the relationship between their child and the other parent.
Summary: Learn how you can reduce the risk that your child is taken and kept overseas by your child's other parent.
Summary: Some immigrants in the United States, whether here legally or not, do not have the legal right to work for a living in the U.S. However, a recent ruling by a Texas appellate court has held that when it comes to calculating the amount of monthly child support, not having a work permit is not an excuse.
Summary: How often do family law attorneys hear the following questions: "What if I get a job that makes less money? Then can I get a court order to pay less child support?" These folks often plan on earning less, getting their child support reduced and then getting a better job. However, the Texas Family Code is a step ahead and allows family courts to use a parent's earning potential when calculating child support if that parent is intentionally underemployed or unemployed.
Summary: The Texas Family Code has a standard possession and visitation order that is presumed by law to be in the best interests of children. However, how summer possession of a child works under the standard possession order can at times be confusing. This article explains in simple terms how summer possession of a child works.
Summary: Which one of us can claim the exemption for our child on our federal income tax returns? This is one of the most common questions encountered by divorce lawyers, and this is understandable considering the exemption was $3,950.00 per child in 2014. The answer is partly in the IRS' Publication 501 and partly in the visitation and possession provisions of an individual's divorce or SAPCR order.
Summary: For parents fighting in court over custody issues, the feeling that the court hasn't heard directly from their child can be incredibly frustrating. However, in the appropriate circumstances, the judge in a custody case can meet with the child and find out what the child wants.
Summary: Learn how Texas divorce courts draft visitation schedules for divorced parents when children under three years of age are involved.
Summary: A Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship (SAPCR) is a lawsuit by an individual seeking to establish custodial rights and privileges over a child. What most people in Texas don't know is that if anyone, other than a foster parent, has had actual care, control, and possession of your child for at least 6 months, then that person can file a SAPCR for your child within 90 days after the 6 month period.
Summary: In Texas, what most people commonly refer to as 'child custody' is actually called 'conservatorship' under the Texas Family Code. This article reviews the various types of conservatorships in Texas.
Summary: If a parent does not comply with the visitation provisions in a court's final order, the other parent can ask the court to punish the non-complying parent. This is known as enforcement. This article is divided into two parts. Part 1 reviews the steps that should be taken before filing an enforcement case with the court. Part 2 describes the enforcement case itself.
Summary: In Texas, parents often think that if there is no child support order in place, then they have no responsibility to pay child support to the other parent. That is not always true. In certain situations, a court can order a parent to make future child support payments to make up for child support payments that the court believes should have been made in the past when no child support order was in place. This is retroactive child support.
Summary: Sometimes, the terms of custody and visitation in your current order no longer work due to a change in the circumstances of you, your children or your children's other parent. This article discusses the requirements under Texas law to modify an existing conservatorship order.
Summary: Learn who gets the engagement ring when the wedding is called off.
Summary: One of the more interesting and counterintuitive aspects of marital property law in Texas is that income earned from separate property during marriage is community property. This article explains and shows practical applications of this law.
Summary: What better time than the holiday season to talk about how gifts are treated under Texas' marital property system? This article will review who actually owns a gift given to a married person or couple.
Summary: Many individuals come into a marriage with a bank account already set up. If the balance in your pre-marriage bank account is significant, then the 'community out first' rule will have a big impact on how much of your account balance is exposed to creditors and subject to division during a divorce.
Summary: A marital property agreement, often referred to as a post-nup, can be a powerful asset protection tool against creditors, especially creditors from lawsuits.In this article, we use the example of imaginary couple Brian and Amy to illustrate the benefits of the post-nup as an asset protection tool.
Summary: When you are married, you may no longer be liable for just your own debts. Marital property and debts fall into different legal categories that have a significant impact on which spouse is on the hook for what debt. This article explains how liability for debts is apportioned between spouses under Texas law.
Summary: A pre-marital agreement can not only protect spouses in case of a divorce, but it can also serve as a powerful asset protection tool. This article discusses what a valid marital property agreement looks like and the benefits of a marital property agreement.

From today, and all of this week, officers from the Guardia Civil traffic department will be carrying out extra checks and surveillance on school buses.
During the five-day campaign, the officers will intensify inspections on both the vehicles and the drivers, verifying that the authorisations and documents that these vehicles must have to perform in service, verify that the technical conditions and safety elements of the vehicle satisfy the minimum standards required by the regulations, as the special requirements that the drivers must meet, such as appropriate driving licences and rest times.
Safety is the highest priority for this type of transport and the annual incident figures do reflect school transport as being amongst the safest ways for children to travel to school, especially if the number of deaths per traveller is taken as a comparison by kilometre travelled.
According to Gregorio Serrano, the director of the DGT, "the safe mobility of minors is one of the priorities of the DGT. Every day there are thousands of students who use the school bus to go to school and return home, so we have to keep checking that these trips are made safely." In addition, "with this type of campaign, we remind parents of the right to demand from schools or parent associations that buses that handle school transport meet all the regulatory requirements to carry out this type of transport."
Inappropriate speed and distractions are the main causes of incidents in which this type of vehicle is involved, so speed controls will be carried out focusing on this type of vehicle especially, as well as other factors such as not using a mobile phone or other devices whilst driving. Alcohol and other drug controls will also be increased amongst drivers.
Statistically, 90% of incidents involving school transport take place at the time of getting in or out of the vehicle or just in the immediate moments surrounding this time. In many cases these are caused by the child being distracted, or the fact that the school bus driver or the parents are not paying full attention. To avoid this type of incident, it is recommended that parents respect bus stops, allow enough time for taking and collecting children, and not waiting for the children on the other side of the road.
Due to the importance of seat belts in saving lives in the event of an incident, special attention will be paid to the use of these in school buses that have them installed. Although all new buses that enter service must be fitted with seat belts (since October 2007, registration is denied to any bus that does not have these restraint systems installed), older vehicles are still allowed to continue without seat belts installed, until time allows for their replacement. Currently, despite their importance, only around 60% of the school bus fleet have seat belts installed.
According to several studies, the use of seat belts in buses would reduce fatal injuries by 90% in the event of a head-on collision or rollover, since correctly fastened it prevents the projection of the passenger (adult or child) and reduces impacts on the chest, abdomen and legs
As is normal in this type of campaign, the Guardia Civil will also be supported by colleagues in the municipal and local police.
Safety Statistics
In 2016 (the last year with consolidated data) school buses were involved in 32 incidents (20 on interurban roads and 12 in urban ones), in which no one was killed but 17 occupants were injured.
According to a study prepared by the Traffic Association of the Guardia Civil about incidents and injuries of vehicles dedicated to school transport:
- The vast majority of them occur on conventional roads (65% last year).
- The most frequent type of incident is the fronto-lateral collision.
- Distraction and inappropriate speed appear as more frequent concurrent factors.
Educating on the School Bus
Trips from home to school can be a good time for the adult accompanying the children to remind them of some messages about road safety, such as:
- Never stop behind the bus.
- Wait for the driver's signal and always cross at least three metres ahead.
- Inside the bus, stay seated and with the seat belt on, if it is installed.
- Do not run when you get to the bus, or when leaving.
- Obey the driver and the monitor.
In addition, parents should check the safety of the buses and coaches in which their children are travelling, request the centre hire buses with seat belts and check that a monitor accompanies the children during the journey.
Other Healthier Ways to get to School
In addition to the school bus there are other means of transport in which the students go to school: private car, public transport, bicycle or simply walking.
With the intention of promoting sustainable mobility from an early age, the DGT in collaboration with the Federation of Municipalities and Provinces is encouraging safer school roads, which favour and stimulate travel on foot, by bike or public transport to and from school.
Currently there are more than 100 municipalities in 35 provinces and approximately 300 schools that are working or already have safe school roads defined by the criteria.

"I have loads of sequenced rendered JPG images created in Mandlebulb and I want to convert them directly in to MP4 video format. VirtualDub will create an AVI from the files
but I want to create an MP4 directly from the files. Any ideas what software will let me do this?" – A question from online.
Such questions are actually quite common online. Is it possible to convert JPG to MP4? How to convert it? If you also encounter such problems, now you are in the right place. Here I will introduce you two simple solutions to help you convert JPG to MP4 in high speed and quality. Keep reading for more.
Part 1. Why need to convert jpg to mp4?
As we know, JPG is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images. It is a file extension for a lossy graphics file. Most of our pictures in daily life are in JPG format. And MP4 is originally based on QuickTime file format, but quickly becomes more popular than QuickTime format and others like AVI, WMV and MKV. It is accepted by various devices and programs, such as computers, tablets, phones, game consoles, TVs. In addition, it is widely accepted by various media players, and broadly used over the web. And nowadays, people are not content to just enjoy pictures or photographs, more and more people tend to make photo albums into videos for sharing on social network, or save in videos for more vivid enjoyment. To create mp4 from jpg, or realize jpg to mp4 slideshow, it is necessary to convert JPG to MP4. By converting to MP4, you can enjoy your JPG in a better experience.
Part 2. Converted jpg to mp4 with best JPG to MP4 converter - Leawo Video Converter.
To convert JPG to MP4, JPG to MP4 Converter is highly recommended. Leawo Video Converter is regarded as one of the best JPG to MP4 Converter since it is able to convert JPG to MP4 without quality loss in high speed. Besides, it is powerful that can convert videos and audios between 180+ formats. And it also has rich video editing features. In short, it could be the best JPG to MP4 Converter for you to try. You can first download and install Leawo Video Converter on PC and then follow the guide below step by step.
Step 1. Add your desired photo to the program.
Launch Leawo Video Converter, and then click "Add Photo" button to add your desired photo into the program. Or you can choose to add photo folder by clicking the drop down arrow on the right side.
Step 2. Open profile interface for ready to choose output format.
Click the icon on the left of big green "Convert" button to pop up a window, here you can click "Change" button to enter the profile interface.
Step 3. Choose MP4 as output format.
On the Profile page, you can choose MP4 Video from the "Common Video" option under "Format" tab. And then return to the previous page.
Step 4. Set output directory and begin to convert.
Click the big green "Convert" button at the top-right corner, set your desired output directory and then click the "Convert" button at the bottom to start converting JPG to MP4.
Just after a few seconds, your JPG files can be converted to MP4 successfully. Then you can enjoy them anytime and anywhere.
Part 3. Convert jpg to mp4 with jpg to mp4 online converter.
Apart from Leawo Video Converter, some people may also want to know if there are other ways to convert JPG to MP4. Of course, converting jpg to mp4 online is another choice. There are actually some useful jpg to mp4 online converters for you to choose from, such as online-convert, files-conversion, zamzar, convertfiles, youconvertit, convertio, and so on. Here I would like to take convertio.co as an example to show you simple steps.
- Step 1. Open convertio.co to enter its interface.
- Step 2. Upload your JPG files from computer, or by dragging it on the page.
- Step 3. Choose "GIF" as output format first.
- Step 4. Let the file convert and you can download your GIF file right afterwards.
- Step 5. After getting GIF files, you can convert the GIF files to MP4 in the same way again.
All mentioned ways above can help you convert JPG to MP4 successfully. However, for me, I prefer Leawo Video Converter since it is safe, convenient and quick. It does not require internet access, which means video conversion process can be processed offline, while online cannot. And the online video converter requires video file unloading. The uploading might expose user's privacy if the video content is personal, and the downloading requires extra time. Therefore, Leawo Video Converter could be better than JPG to MP4 online converters.

Lesson Info
Why Should You Shoot Tethered?
So why shoot tethered? Because obviously, you need to connect your camera, which we'll talk about in a minute. Is it just not easier to shoot to card, and then download to Capture One like we saw yesterday? So what's the benefit? For me, as a professional photographer, there are a lot of benefits, actually, to shooting tethered. Firstly, there's the collaborative energy that comes with that. For example, even early in my career, one of the first lessons I learned was surround yourself with the best crew. The best hair, the best makeup, the best styling, and it will raise the level of your work. And I've lived like that, I've made my living like that. With tethering now, that was back in the film days. So tethering now, it's almost been revelatory, in that it takes that collaboration to the next level. Because everybody can be looking through that camera with you, and really with you on that shot. And shape the shot. And help you create that work. Rather than, chimping around a ...
tiny little LCD display. Exactly. It takes that collaboration to the next level, and I rely on that. I want the makeup artist to be right there, and the hair stylist to be right there, and the stylist, who's doing the clothing, to be really on everything, and they can see what I'm seeing, and that's just so helpful. And 'cause we can shape how the shot is gonna look on the fly. The client gets, maybe not the final final result after retouch for example, but very close to what the final result's gonna be. My digital tech can, if there's a specific look that we're going for, or a specific recipe, as I'm shooting, they can apply that recipe. It's kind of like a little video village. Yes (chuckles). That you would find on a film set, where everybody can look, and see what the final image is going to be like. And then you know besides that, then you also have the security of shooting tethered. Where you can, instead of shooting just to a card, and having that one copy, you can download to a computer, you can go and back it up from there. I mean the security of it also brings a little bit more peace. Definitely.
Class Materials
Ratings and Reviews
This is a good overview of Capture One 10. The course is well structured and presented logically and progressively with clear and concise examples. The software is intricate and the amount of details presented will benefit from a second or third viewing, along with sufficient practice. David is an excellent teacher, slow enough to follow, fast enough to keep the listener's interest. I would agree with a previous reviewer that the shooting session was uninspired but the tethered demo was thoroughly useful nevertheless for someone to become an assistant, for instance. If you have ever used LR in this role, you will appreciate the power and stability of C1 for tethering. With regards to the comment about this class being non-creative; before you can run you have to walk and this course is all about understanding how to operate the software not about what you eventually want to do with it. Capture One is well designed, speedy and its homogeneous interface makes it easy to get to a result once you have a good knowledge of its layout and principles, compared for example with LR which is all over the place with modes, inconsistent and slow operations. Likewise, the C1 color editor is miles ahead of LR color functions, in simplicity and overall efficiency. This class is about mechanics for a reason; creativity is a parallel stream. It would have been beneficial to have a module highlighting major differences with LR for people migrating to Capture One as the word on the street is that C1 is hard. I would suggest to listen in to convince yourself of the contrary. All in all, I recommend this class; it is time well invested if you want to become more comfortable with Capture One and discover its potential.
The course is excellent and David does a nice job. However, I'm an advanced armature, not a professional. I had my own personal color darkroom, then Photoshop/Bridge, and NIK which I still use occasionally. My intention is to rely on Capture One which I purchased about 90 days ago. I would have appreciated a SIMPLE, here is how you load (Import) an image, "save" or "save as" and how to simply export an image (Variant). Yes those items are covered but, David has a tendency to casually and very quickly jump from Tool Tabs or Cursor Tools or the Tool Bar and then magically it's done and he has moved on. How did he do it. Based on David's training, I love the results I get with Capture One Pro. Yes, I know this is not Photoshop - it's much better. I never used Lightroom. I added variant to my vocabulary and I understand all the tools. I still struggle with the simple import, save, save as, and export of a image I worked on and cropped, then trying to consistently open that image as I see it in Capture One Pro. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I don't know why. I will continue to re-review the course materials and I will figure it out. I know there is something simple I missed as David navigated the various tools and pull downs. I recommend this class but it does little for the armature. Capture One Pro is second nature to him and he knows all the ins and outs. I would help me a lot if he just add a 5 minute intro, importing an image from a folder, just crop it, then export the variant and open it in Photoshop.
Maria Baptiste
I recently purchased Capture One because I needed a RAW converter that was more dependable and also more reliable when it came to shooting tethered. I also noticed that many of the photogs I follow really enjoy using Capture One and rave about its efficiency. After looking at a few YouTube videos I decided that I needed something more thorough and of course CreativeLive delivered. This is an excellent course and David Grover is a superb instructor. His in depth and thorough knowledge of the software is obvious but his manner of speaking and the simplicity with which he provides directions makes it easy to learn Capture One and lets you appreciate a sophisticated and expertly engineered software. If you're working with Capture One 11, layers is a little different than in version 10 but otherwise everything David discusses is the same. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and will continue to refer back to sections as needed. Thank you Creative Live and David Grover!!

The past couple of weeks have been brutal with the heat. Ten minutes to set up a "pop up canopy" and then I had to take a shower. Don't get me wrong, I prefer the dog days of summer than the stuck in my house snow days.
Today it is a little cooler in the early evening and I have fired up the grill. Going to make some burgers and brats for dinner. This is harder to do in the winter. Here is a picture of a chimney for the charcoal. If you are a fan of cooking with charcoal, I certianly am, then you should invest in one if these contraptions. No lighter fluid required.

9.10.1. Drupal Fields API. Field Widget: data input fields, form for the field.
In this tutorial we will look at how the Field Widget of the Link module works. This is a review article, so if you want to start writing your File Widget, please skip to the following articles.
In the last lesson we added Link fields for nodes and blocks. Now let's look at what the form for the Link field is formed by.
We have already met with autoloading of PHP classes in Drupal, and there is also a WidgetBase field widget class for fields:
By creating a new child class in the module and putting it in the src/Plugin/Field/FieldWidget, the class will automatically connect and it can be used for the field. Let's look at the widget class for the Link field:
The class annotation contains the field type to which this widget can be used:
* Plugin implementation of the 'link' widget.
* @FieldWidget(
* id = "link_default",
* label = @Translation("Link"),
* field_types = {
* "link"
* }
* )
In this way you can add new field widgets to the custom module for existing fields.
Let's now move on to the formElement() method, which is probably one of the main widget methods, where form elements are added via the Form API. There are three elements in the Link widget:
These fields will then be used to enter data on a node or block form. Validation is also added to the fields because, for example, the URI field must contain the correct URL or local site address.
Also one of the important methods of settingsForm(), it is responsible for the form of customization that you can see on the Manage form page:
All other methods in the Field Widget are optional. We won't go into detail about each of the methods because they are not necessarily used to write custom modules. If you will write contributor modules, I think you won't find it difficult to read the description of the parent class methods:
All Field Widgets for fields are configured on the Manage form display tab for each bundle entity separately:
