Yesterday I wrote about my first draft version of a PHP code generator for custom Drupal content types written with Xtext and Xpand. Today I added some more features to the generator.

Recently I've implemented a module for the Drupal CMS that contributes some custom content types for Drupal. While this is a pretty straightforwad task, a lot of (technical) PHP-code is required. For example you have to write code for the database schema, for accessing the database, for the editor form etc. After implementing the first custom type I didn't want to do it again manually and tried to implement a domain specific language (DSL) that allows me to describe my content types in a more compact way, leaving out the code generation to a generator.
