I've left some comments on @VasasA branch. Can you create a PR to this project please?

[VasasA]

Sorry, I cannot create a PR, because the document file of "Converting modules to Backdrop from Drupal 7" isn't in docs.b.org repository. The changes of the document are shown by the commits of my repo: https://github.com/VasasA/converting/commit/482fd4e28430ae181db65507b4e8944cd6098db0 https://github.com/VasasA/converting/commit/2f184dfd76da752a94fcf2f86d3a34c67da74da7 https://github.com/VasasA/converting/commit/1b1380a2f54ac9fb3d796e694a9088c5d5cd7b8a

@herbdool Thank You for the review and the suggestions!

@cellear Should I do something for the changes are ready to publish?

[jenlampton]

PRs are for code changes, text shouldn't be managed in Git. Soon, we'll we able to give you an account on the docs site where you can recommend changes to the text.

Thanks for all the suggestions, and for helping with improvements!

I just added two comments to changes.

Would love to see in the docs a description of how best to suggest changes to the docs.

[jenlampton]

For now -- this is very useful (we don't yet have a better way) but soon that will all be changing!

[bugfolder]

These changes (and a few more) are now implemented on Converting Modules from Drupal 7. Thanks, @VasasA , for putting all this together!

[VasasA]

I am happy to help! :smile:

@bugfolder Special thanks for your useful comments and the editor work! :+1:

There are some typos:

• Broken links in the table of contents:

  • Configuration Management
  • Create Configuration Defaults
  • Without Drupal Compatibility

• Missing space character and move backtick:

  Node entity has a langcode property instead of languageproperty.

Fixed:

Node entity has a langcode property instead of language property.

• Missing brackets and backtick:

  If the module implements hook_schema(), hook_install will create the schema.

Fixed:

If the module implements hook_schema(), hook_install() will create the schema.

• Move backtick:

  now has a langcode property instead of language property. Replace it.

Fixed:

And there are two sections in my document what are missing from the page:

• Testing
• Features added to core In this section there is a broken link:

  [list of modules](https://backdropcms.org/node/1683)

Fixed:

[list of modules](https://docs.backdropcms.org/documentation/features-added-to-core)

Thanks! Think I got all those now. (It was a bit tedious working from multiple change files expressed as diffs relative to Markdown and interpreting those into changes relative to the HTML that is the actual source for that page. For example, code is surrounded by <code> tags, not backticks.)

I've got one more section that I intend to add to the CMI section: dealing with default things in code, like hook_views_default_views() and hook_default_image_styles(). So that's to come.

@bugfolder Thank You very much! :+1:
