Building a Custom Community Notice Board Module in Drupal 10

Shivani V shared a detailed guide on Medium about creating a custom "Boardify" module for managing and displaying community notices in Drupal 10. This article guides you through creating a Drupal 10 environment using DDEV and developing the Boardify module. The steps include configuring a local development environment, installing necessary tools like Drush, and setting up the module in your Drupal site.

It also covers creating a new content type called "Notice" for posting community updates. This tutorial is useful for developers looking to add custom functionality to their Drupal sites while maintaining flexibility for future customization.

Steps Overview:

1. Set Up Drupal 10 Environment: Using DDEV, configure the project type as Drupal, set PHP version to 8.3, and install the Drupal 10 project.
2. Install Drush: Essential for command-line site management.
3. Access Drupal Site: Use Drush to generate a one-time login link.

Boardify Module Setup:

1. Download and Install: Clone the Boardify module into the 'modules/custom' directory and enable it via Drupal Admin Interface or Drush.
2. Clear Caches: Important for reflecting changes immediately.
3. Create Notice Content-Type: Define a new content type for notices, adding fields like Title and Body.
4. Create and View Notices: Add and manage notices through the admin panel, accessible under '/community-notices'.

This setup facilitates a robust community notice board. The module's full code is available on GitHub for further customization. Happy coding!
