Drupal docker image looks totally different than Drupal CMS

I setup Drupal CMS locally got a basic site up and running without much issue. Played around with it a bit, and decided it would do what I wanted. Obviously I don't want to host a web site off my windows laptop. So I setup a K3s node on my Ubuntu server and spun an image of drupal there. It works and is the "same" tool but also looks totally different.

I quickly realize the admin theme was different, I change that to Gin and it's similar but not that same.

I'd really love to get exactly the Drupal CMS experience hosted in an image. The default site Drupal CMS came with was fairly close to what I need my final site to be. The project in "composer create-project drupal/recommended-project ." has next to nothing in it, being new to drupal I'm lost on how to make it look and behave like the starter project in Drupal CMS. It doesn't even have the same editor.

I did note that both instances are the same version of drupal, so I know it's just theme/plugins/setup.

What would be the easiest way to get the Drupal CMS starter page to work on the docker/composer image?

I did try the "Single Content Sync" plugin, doesn't seem to work on CMS. And another plugin couldn't even be found in the CMS UI. Any help/guidance is greatly appreciated.

Billing clients for module fixes when multiple clients need same fix

Just wondering if anybody is in this kind of situation. Let's say I need a fix or a custom feature for a module that will be the same fix/feature for multiple clients. How do you handle billing for this kind of work? Record the time and split it among all the clients? Bill each client for the total amount of work as if you did the fix/feature each time? Bill one client and let the others get the fix/feature for free?

This is happening more and more for me and I have clients on monthly retainers so I make fixes and updates on their request or when I am working on my own features.

For example, recent Drupal updates to CKEditor broke a lot of features in LinkIt, Link Attributes and other related modules. I was taking part in the issue queues, testing solutions and reporting on fixes. For other modules, I provide my own patches and merge requests for the modules.

Crafting a Drupal proposal

I have been tasked with rebuilding a rather huge Intranet site with my company. The core of the current Intranet is on WordPress, but huge swathes are in SharePoint and there are multiple endpoints I need to pull data from and present on certain pages using GraphQL. My company is in the healthcare sector, so HIPPA compliance must be met.

The two front runner proposals in my mind at the moment is Gatsby to just pool the data off the existing servers, and eventually remove the WordPress sites entirely and migrate their content to Drupal.

(EDIT: I've been notified that Gatsby is more or less dead).

My proposal is to either use Drupal directly, having it replace the WordPress sites and link up to the SharePoint hive with the Sharepoint Connector module, or go to a headless arrangement with a presentation server of some sort in front of all these service servers, and then replace WP with Drupal at a later date.

I'm familiar with Drupal and prefer it to WordPress, but I have to convince stakeholders. I've never done a proposal this large before. I'm looking for case studies and examples to build my case. I've already combed through a few of the cases linked on the Drupal Healthcare pages.

The thought of pushing Gatsby first and then bring in Drupal to headlessly back it has occurred to me and I'd be interested in hearing thoughts on that configuration as well.

Thank you for your time.

The future of enterprise Drupal is building a platform and not a website

The future of enterprise Drupal is building a platform and not a website

My session from DrupalCon Vienna is available now and I put out some of my thought.

I still don’t get the point about Drupal CMS because it’s about building a “website” instead of being a content platform for many digital experiences. I get if form small sites - but if you are small you likely already use one of the many SaaS offers.

What do you think?

Token formatting for “webform_pardot” mapping - how do you submit a select multi value field?

I’m stuck on this.

I have a web form with a select list.

We have to push the data to pardot.

How do I use token to get the selected values and push them in to a pardot pick list. ?

The pardot mapping looks like this.

email|email first_name|first-name last_name|last-name account_name|company title|title phone_work|phone primary_address_city|city primary_address_country|country [webform_submission:values:solution_checkboxes:value]|interest fq_other_comment_c|comment fq_hidden_url_c|conversion-url

The webform token I have there, is where I'm stuck.

My form has a number of select items in this field, as a multi value checkbox select.

Do I need to map specific checkboxe as individual lines? Do I need to know the exact option values on the pardot side? (where my mapping needs to be like "interest.key" ?

I found this patch - but I don't know if I need it? https://www.drupal.org/project/webform_pardot/issues/3215050#comment-14109894

All of the other fields, as plain text, submit just fine... so I know we're getting data across the submit. Its just this field that is giving me problems.

Thanks!
