Private files are accessible through URL regardless of taxonomy access.

I have a site with a multi tenant situation including different roles for each tenant. I'm managing access to content through taxonomy terms and views, which works well so far. However, I have different file types that should be accessible to different roles within one tenant. Content or files of one tenant should never be visible to anyone (user or role) of another tenant.

I have only found the global access permission "view media". When that is not checked for my role, I can't access the file even though I see it in the view (which makes sense). However, when that is checked for the role, the role has access to any file (including other tenants) through the url (even if they don't have access to the view that would link to the file).

Is there a module that can differentiate view media permissions by media type? My research only showed small, instable or experimental modules.
Or do you have any other suggestions on how I could solve this issue?

Hello everybody,

I'm helping customers with specific types of sites (similar to customer portals) which often contain some part of basic functionality and a lot of custom ideas.

My approach is usually 0 code (if I can avoid it).

So I'm really deep inside configuration / modules / etc.

Parts can be easily exported as configurations / recipes.

Some other parts are often quite custom.

Custom views with custom permissions, tags, ECA etc.

I see some customers / people I know just vibe coding everything in Lovable and similar solutions and I'm still clicking around in the admin area.

For the configuration / site building part of Drupal where you configure specific modules etc.:
Do you use any AI?
How to improve building speed there?

(not talking about Canvas landing pages - more features like inquiries, customer dashboards etc.)

Upgraded a d8 site to d9.5 and the files directory is being emptied every night it seems. Can anybody point to the best way to track this down.

I’m doubtful there’s a up setting that has this behavior that I’ve accidentally clicked…

Basically I'm looking for a tool where you can navigate to a node/entity or give it a node id and UUID and ask the module to show how the CRUD commands would look like.

Is there anything like that?

I've managed to get a backup of the site working with ddev, imported the database etc and that's working well, but i can't figure out to give another ddev setup access to said database, surely this can be done?

I’m excited to share that I recently passed the Acquia Certified Drupal Site Builder exam. I wanted to document my preparation journey for others who are planning to take it.

This certification was a step for me to strengthen my understanding of Drupal site building. It also helped me with content modeling, theming basics and configuration management. I come from a web/content management background. At first I found Drupal a bit complex because of its structure.. The exam preparation helped me understand it in a more practical way.

My Study Approach

I divided my preparation into phases. I did not try to learn everything at once:

1. Understanding the basics

I started by focusing on Drupal fundamentals. These include content types, fields, blocks, menus and user roles. Once these concepts became clear everything else started making sense. I learned a lot about Drupal site building.

1. Hands-on practice

I spent a lot of time practicing in a Drupal environment. I created content types and built layouts. Experimenting with views really helped solidify my understanding of Drupal.

1. Revision

After the practical work I revisited key topics. These include taxonomy, permissions and site configuration. Repetition helped me retain the concepts better. I reviewed Drupal site building concepts.

1. Practice questions

I used Pass4surexams mock exams to test my knowledge and pinpoint areas that needed more work. This practice was great for getting into the right mindset and building the confidence I needed for the real thing.

Sou um estagiário responsável pelos sites que usam drupal e recebi esse tipo de pedido: "Conforme já conversamos no dia de hoje, a secretaria do departamento *** gostaria de criar um sistema de lembretes em um formulário. A ideia seria colocar os dados dos pós-docs matriculados nesse formulário, e ter e-mails automáticos vinculados a campos de data de cada entrada dentro do formulário. Nossa pergunta é essa: seria possível vincular o disparo dos e-mails às datas dos campos "inicio" e "fim", para enviar lembretes aos alunos e à própria secretaria com antecedência?". O formulário já foi criado e possui preenchimentos também. Tentei reproduzir o que foi solicitado apenas com recursos do webform, mas acredito que seria necessário algum módulo específico para isso. Já ouviram falar de algo com essa funcionalidade? Não posso mexer no core do sistema usado por aqui pois seria um recurso para um site apenas.

I'm an intern responsible for websites that use Drupal, and I received this type of request: "As we discussed today, the department secretary would like to create a reminder system in a form. The idea would be to put the data of enrolled post-docs in this form and have automatic emails linked to the date fields of each entry within the form. Our question is: would it be possible to link the sending of emails to the dates of the "start" and "end" fields, to send reminders to students and the secretary in advance?". The form has already been created and has fields to be filled in. I tried to reproduce what was requested using only webform resources, but I believe a specific module would be needed for this. Have you heard of anything with this functionality? I can't modify the core of the system used here because it would be a feature for a single website.

I am studying how to submit forms in the Selenium or Playright manner and when I followed a guide showing the curl equivalent of submitted forms I saw a lot of code related to the theme etc in the submission.

This is based on using the DevTools window in Chrome or Firefox and choosing the option that enables you to copy the form submission code. You can even choose to see how a curl submission looks.

Is there some other theme that would show the most minimal data, Stark, or even something more basic?
