At Kitchener Public Library. I'll be speaking on the Hosting Panel, so I hope to see some of you there! 😄
I took a closer look at Drupal’s market share, the Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 transition, the developer ecosystem, and how its CMS and AI capabilities compare with WordPress and other platforms.
The numbers raise some important questions about the cost of breaking changes, developer experience, ecosystem maturity, and whether new initiatives are addressing the challenges users actually face.
This isn't just about Drupal vs. WordPress. It's about what happens when a platform's evolution starts moving away from the needs of its community.
I’ve put together a detailed, data-backed analysis here 👇

Curious to hear from developers, agencies, and businesses that have worked with Drupal: Does its reputation still reflect the reality of using it today?
I (non-technical) recently stepped into a leadership role at my company who is on an old Drupal 7 site running php 7.4.9. My lead developer said the fix issued for php2shell is not compatible with our old version of php and Drupal 7. He recommended taking down our website until we can upgrade to a newer version of Drupal… which would take a long time, and essentially would kill our business…. We did edit our WAF rules to help prevent cyber attacks but would appreciate any perspectives here and if anyone is in a similar boat.

I can't load drupal.org for the last few minutes. Some pages have been unavailable longer than that. Most of the down detectors say it is still up, but not for me. I am in St. Louis.
Anyone else seeing this? Thanks.
 | My take is that contributing to and growing an open-source project is easier with AI than without it. Still, while working on the Webform module's security issues, I was terrified that a single AI-generated misstep would draw vitriol. Let's talk about our Drupal gardens and engage in an open dialogue among those who are AI-pilled, AI-curious, and AI-cautious. [link] [comments] |
A year ago, I attended a one day drupal training camp and met a few absolutely wonderful people.
So encouraging and just consistently hyping me up any time I got stuck. I tried to download the cms on my chrome book with Linux emulated and forgot to give it enough disk space and they didn't let that keep me behind.
They instead introduced drupal forge to me and made sure I left with some knowledge which I can't thank enough.
However, icl I kinda got lost and could not learn any more cause the difficulty increased tenfold so I never picked it up again but, I'd really like to learn it purely to make my, one day, mentors proud💚

I am running two docker services that use the same Drupal instance.
The first one, let's call it "http", serves the site, and the second one, let's call it "amqp" runs a drush command that listens to AMQP messages (via rabbitmq) to alter content.
The amqp service process tasks that outlive a normal request; a task can take up to several minutes.
I am experiencing cache issues between both services: when a configuration is updated on the "http" service, the "amqp" service still uses a cached version, and when an entity is updated on "amqp" service, the "http" service still shows the old cached version.
I managed to fix the first issue by calling "ConfigFactory::reset" before retrieving the config object when a new message is processed, but this seems like a dirty fix, and I don't see how I can apply such a fix for the issue regarding entities.
Has anyone experienced such an issue ?
Any ideas of how to deal with this ?
P.S: I have APCu and memcache enabled, but the issue appeared before memcache was installed.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
 | A demo on the work that I've been doing on exposed slots in Drupal Canvas. This is still a proof of concept, we are not there yet. I hope this demo gets people as excited as I am about this feature. I think this one is very important to drive Canvas adaption. Let me know what you think!

I've been thinking about how much money gets wasted on development and staging environments that sit idle most of the time.
For example, DigitalOcean still charges you for a Droplet even when it's powered off. The only way to stop compute charges is to destroy it entirely.
But then you have to deal with snapshots, restoring env vars, networking, etc. whenever you need it again.
I'm curious how other developers deal with this. Do you just leave everything running and accept the cost? Destroy and recreate environments manually?

Drupal 12 is in beta since DrupalCon Rotterdam, and today both official CKEditor contrib modules got their matching 2.0.0-beta1 releases: What to know before you try them:
``` composer require \ 'drupal/core-recommended:12.0@beta' \ 'drupal/core-composer-scaffold:12.0@beta' \ 'drupal/core-project-message:12.0@beta' \ 'drupal/ckeditor5_plugin_pack:2.0@beta' \ --no-update composer update --with-all-dependencies ```
I tried to kick this off a bit during DrupalCon Rotterdam, the slides give the high-level idea of the 1.x vs 2.x split: CKEditor in Drupal: News in Content Editing Are the release notes clear? If anything in the upgrade path is confusing or breaks on your Drupal 12 test site, say it here and I will pass it on to the module maintainers. [link] [comments] |
