Kdevelop4 has PHP plugin. Has anyone tried to set it up to work with drupal? How should I get it to work? I have been looking for tutorials and howtos on kdevelop4, but so far, no luck :-S

I never had to install any additional plug-ins for kdevelop to use PHP Well, it came with syntax highlighting out-of-the-box. What else would you need a plug-in for, considering PHP doesn't need to be compiled?

Hey there!

What exactly would be required to be setup for Drupal? I know that one of the core Drupal developers once used KDevelop or is still using it. There are also a few snippets for Drupal development available via GHNS.

Otherwise: Just open your drupal installation as a project and wait for the parser to finish. Then you should be ready to go...

@itsbrad212: You should try out the language plugin for PHP to see why you need it I just say that: inline syntax error checking, code completion, better (semantic) syntax highlighting, ...

Btw.: You are lucky that I was bored enough to browse the forums In future ask such questions in #kdevelop on freenode, where I usually hang around.

I don't really know either I asked because there is a eclipse plugin especially made for developing drupal modules. It automates the creation of .info, .module, and some other files. It is not very necessary, and like itsbrad212 said, I think PHP syntax highlighting is great!

If you want to have a real module builder i can suggest you to use http://drupal.org/project/module_builder

This allows to build modules via drush. It's awesome.

Additional i think it would be possible to write a plugin for kdevelop which just executes module builder with the drush commando you want.

You could also use the (new in KDevelop 4.1) external scripts plugin to execute arbitrary drush commands from inside KDevelop. You can assign shortcuts and everything, try it out.
