Module Spotlight: Changelogify

Module Spotlight: Changelogify

Hey Drupal community!

I want to highlight a really useful module I’ve been exploring called Changelogify. If you manage Drupal sites where tracking and communicating what’s changed over time matters, this thing can be a serious quality-of-life boost. 

What It Is

Changelogify is a contributed Drupal module that helps you automatically collect changes happening on your site and publish them as a public changelog. It listens for various site events, groups them into releases, and then makes those changes visible in a structured way on your site. 

Why It’s Handy

Whether you’re maintaining a client site, building a product with frequent updates, or just want better visibility into what’s happened between deployments, this module lets you:

• Automatically capture tweaks and updates instead of manually jotting them down • Organize changes into releases so editors and users can see what changed and when • Surface a public changelog that keeps stakeholders informed and helps reduce support questions 

It takes a lot of the manual bookkeeping out of tracking what’s happened during a sprint or over a release cycle. 

Who Might Like It

• Site builders who deliver regular feature updates • Teams with editors who want transparency into site revisions • Maintainers who want a lightweight way to publish update history without crafting change logs by hand 

If you’ve ever wished Drupal could write its own release notes for you, Changelogify is worth checking out.

Have you tried it yet? What workflows do you use for keeping changelogs up to date on your Drupal projects?

Certain Drupal batch functions not working with Cloudflare - returning 502 Bad Gateway

I noticed that the XML Sitemap generation stopped working a couple of weeks ago. When I go to rebuild the sitemap manually, we immediately get a 502 Bad Gateway error.

After much unsuccessful troubleshooting, we tried the Simple XML Sitemap module and surprisingly got the same error.

Disabling Cloudflare fixes the issue but since we need Cloudflare to be active, we need to find out the cause.

  • Using Cloudflare Free Tier
  • Some /batch functions cause a 502 error
  • Pausing Cloudflare fixes the issue
  • We tried creating a rule to bypass caching for the /batch path (no change in the error)
  • The issue occurs with XML Sitemap, and Simple XML Sitemap. However, other batch operations, like rebuilding the permissions work as expected
  • Sitemap generation worked correctly for years, until a couple of weeks ago

I'm hoping for any insight as to what may be causing the failure.

Need help: WordPress WXR Migration to Drupal 11 - UI not seeing custom fields (Media Entity & custom Body)

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to migrate content from a WordPress site to a fresh Drupal 11 installation using the contributed wordpress_migrate module (the UI/GUI process).

I'm running into an issue where the module's setup UI fails to detect my destination fields, likely because my Drupal structure uses modern, non-standard field types (Media Entity Reference) and custom machine names, while the module expects the old default settings.

I need advice on the correct YAML configuration to manually map these fields.

1. 📝 Body Field Issue

The WordPress content body (content:encoded) is not being recognized for import.

  • Drupal Destination Field Name: field_content
  • Drupal Field Type: Text (formatted, long)
  • Expected Field Type (by Module): Likely the standard body field with type Text (formatted, long, with summary).

Goal: How should I structure the process: section in my migrate.migration.wordpress_post.yml to map content:encoded to my existing field field_content?

2. 🖼 Featured Image Issue (Crucial: Media Entity)

I cannot map the WordPress Featured Image because my Drupal setup uses the modern Media Entity reference approach.

  • Drupal Destination Field Name: field_featured_image
  • Drupal Field Type: Entity reference (Referencing Media Entity of type Image).
  • Expected Field Type (by Module): Likely a basic Image file field type.

Goal: What is the recommended multi-step process: pipeline (using file_copy, entity_generate, or migration_lookup) to take the WordPress image URL, create a Media Entity in Drupal, and reference it in my field_featured_image field? Working YAML examples for migrating WXR attachments to Media Entities would be highly appreciated!

3. 💬 Comments Migration

The WXR file contains comment data. Is there any hope to migrate comments (users, body, timestamps) to the native Drupal comments using the wordpress_migrate module or does this typically require another separate migration definition?

Thanks!

Drupal Module Spotlight: Views Migration (D7 → D10/11)

I found this Views Migration module on Drupal.org — it helps you migrate Views from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10/11 easily! 🚀

🔹It lets you import your D7 Views via the UI or using Drush commands.
🔹You can also import specific views using --idlist and roll them back if needed.
🔹Works with Drupal ^10 || ^11 and is maintained with stable releases.
🔹Useful for migrating Views that otherwise aren’t handled by the core Migrate API.

The DriesNote Vienna 2025 demo for Drupal 11 is now live on DrupalForge — free to launch + explore

The DriesNote Vienna 2025 demo for Drupal 11 is now live on DrupalForge — free to launch + explore

If you watched the DrupalCon Vienna keynote and wanted to actually try the stuff shown on stage (Canvas, AI workflows, site templates, orchestration, etc.), we just published a working demo you can spin up in seconds.

What you get:
• A fully configured Drupal 11 site modeled after the keynote
• Canvas + AI features wired up (AI requires adding a secret in DevPanel)
• Runs in a cloud dev environment — no Docker, no local setup
• You can break it, inspect it, edit it, rebuild it
• Good for learning, experimenting, or agency demos

Template link:
https://www.drupalforge.org/template/driesnote-vienna

Code repo:
https://github.com/drupalforge/dries_note_vienna_2025

Still missing some documentation, but you can get help in the #drupalforge Slack channel.

If you try it out, would love feedback — bugs, gotchas, missing pieces, suggestions.
We’re planning to iterate quickly.

Cloud Dev Environments: Do you prefer "Disposable" or "Persistent" for testing modules?

We are huge fans of SimplyTest.me for quick, ephemeral testing. However, we noticed a gap in the ecosystem for when you need a dev environment that lasts longer than a few hours but doesn't require a full local Docker setup.

With Drupal Forge, we’ve built a system based on DevPanel that allows environments to auto-pause rather than being deleted after 6 hours, allowing you to "un-pause" and pick up where you left off later.

My question for the devs here: Do you find yourself using Cloud IDEs (like GitPod or our VS Code integration) for actual collaborative coding? Or do you strictly use these tools for quick demos?

We are trying to decide if we should double down on features like "Real-time Collaboration/Parallel Programming" or focus more on simple template hosting.
