Wow, what a switch. My legacy PHP 7 on my hosting was becoming problematic, so I finally copied all the core content to XLS, nuked the D7 install, installed D11.3 from scratch. Man I miss the “Recent Hits” log for discerning bots & spam from legit visitors (deprecated apparently). What do you miss? Did you ditch after D7? It’s refreshing to see despite all AI “solutions”, advent of Squarespace, Shopify, et al that there’s still a dedicated community. 25 years 🎂🤘.

I have fresh install drupal 11/cms. I have byte_theme as parent and my custom theme. When i switch to child i cant see header and footer.

regions:
content: 'Content'
header: 'Header'
footer: 'Footer'
dependencies:
- "canvas:canvas"
- "cva:cva"

How can i add footer header to be visible using canvas.

When i switch to base i can see that elements on canvas. Is there some config i`m missing ?

After I updated Drupal Core, the cva module, and the canvas module I cannot access any admin pages. I get a 'The website encountered an unexpected error. Try again later.' message.

I tried to revert the changes, but was only able to force canvas and core back to the version I had before I updated. I've tried uninstalling/ using remove on cva but nothing is working. I'm not sure why this module is so stubborn, is it somehow connected to something I'm missing?

I've tried --with-all-dependencies (-W)
but everything I've run says there's nothing to modify in the lock file and nothing to install update or remove

Hello fellow Drupal Users,

I currently working on a DevOps flow for our Drupal deployments. There is a template available I based my work on:
https://github.com/dunglas/frankenphp-drupal/blob/main/Dockerfile

My idea was to use frankenphp to create a Container that can be spun up on the appropriate server. I have finished the gitlab-ci.yml and it builds.

I am doing heavy multisite (50+ sites). I want to mount the sites directory from the current environment into the container. This works pretty well, except for when files are changed. (For example settings.php is changed.)
Is there something I can do so frankenphp catches file change without restarting?

The whole codebase is freshly installed using composer and copied into the container. I was unable to use ssh-links inside my composer.json (I was unable to make SSHing from the build container to my Gitlab work) and instead opted to use https-links that are supplied a CI-Token using buildkit.

Is this a viable way to ship containerized drupal? Are there templates or tools out there I can learn from or any best practices or experiences you want to share?

The exam fees is very high in my country, and I no longer work in a Drupal partner company

Hello, company I work for has website in drupal 7 and they asked me to uprage it to drupal 10. I already learned that this upgrade is not possible because of this big jump between those versions. So I'm gonna have to re-platform the website and migrate the data. Can anyone tell me the best/easiest way to do that please?

Hello everyone,

After updating to the latest Drupal version 11.3.2, I’ve encountered serious issues with the site’s functionality. I’m unable to add new content, and access to reports is completely blocked. I tried overwriting the files with an older version, but that didn’t help. As a temporary measure, I’ve switched the site to developer/update mode to mitigate the impact.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue or might know what could be causing this?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey all,

My to the point questions (details after) is how do I create a complete frontend page in Drupal?

I've worked with WordPress (specifically wordpress.com free version) and was instantly able to put together a page, albeit not as beautifully as I would like. Approx.. 2 years ago, I came across Elementor page builder, and that expanded what I was able to do. I've done my own website and a few for some clients since I went into web design as a freelancer. I've also tried other platforms like Squarespace and Wix, and before I got into WordPress I used Dreamweaver to builds static pages.

My confusion with Drupal and finding guides here and YouTube, is that the discussion speaks more of the framework and the backend and does not get into how to build a frontend page. I think this is why WordPress developers (or maybe just me) would assume WordPress is better off the bat. In the other platforms, creating a page option meant that you were able to get a canvas on which to place usable items like menus, images, background images, text with styling options etc., and that page would be usable on the frontend. In Drupal, create a page (basic page) option is like opening a MS Word document. You can name the document (title), and enter RTF formatting on text (body). On the frontend, it generates, whatever that is. A page with a wall of text and a menu which comes from who-knows-where. Options on the side also are not clear, specifically URL alias, as entering this does not seem to be a slug, since the site still remains domain/node/# instead of domain/about

For the past week I've been searching both here and YouTube to get a grasp on how fully interactive frontend pages should be created with no luck. So I'm asking...

Can we (or me), get a guide on how this should be done? And then once we're able to create this page, other discussions or tutorials of what can be done in the backend to affect workflow, security, other things Drupal offers that make it more enterprise based over WordPress?

Thanks much for any input.

Hello, ich have a little problem where I don't quite find a solution to so I figured I would ask for help. I am fairly new to Drupal but not a total rookie, so excused me if this is a stupid question.

My Problem is the following the site I build is basically a list of Content Type A is shown in a view. In the view there should be a field which links to a second view. The Second vie should display all content from content type B which belongs to the selected Content from type A and the first view. An Example:

View 1 shows a list of hotels (Content type A) with the field services

view 2 Show a list of all services(Content Type b) a certain hotel has. I want a contextual filter that basically knows on which hotel I clicked in the first view. So I a user is on view 1 and Clicks on services for Hotel X the second view should only show services that are available in hotel X, and if the user Clicks on services for hotel Y it only shows services for Hotel Y.

I know I just simply could make a single View for very entry in content type a but I rather would solve this more elegant.

do you have any idea how I can get the info on which entry the user clicked in the first view ?
thanks for the help in advance

Hi folks, I’m planning a headless setup with Drupal as the CMS and Next.js as the frontend (likely using JSON:API or GraphQL). I’m trying to choose a PaaS hosting approach that’s reliable and not a DevOps time sink.

I’m looking for advice from anyone who’s actually run Drupal headless in production with Next.js.

What I’d love help with:

Which PaaS worked well for you (single platform vs split hosting)?

How did you handle media storage (S3 offload, etc.) and CDN?

Best practices for cache strategy (Drupal cache + Redis + CDN, ISR, etc.)

Any gotchas with build times, preview environments, multisite, cron/queues

Security setup: keeping Drupal/admin private, WAF/rate limiting, API auth patterns

Questions:

1. If you’ve done this, what would you pick today and why?
2. Any recommended reference architectures or repo templates?
3. Any Drupal headless “SDKs” / tooling you liked (JSON:API clients, GraphQL, auth, image styles, etc.)?

If you can share rough sizing/cost ranges or what surprised you in production, even better.
