Reading view

Media data behind a hidden permission?

D11.x Commerce - I noticed that if I try to view media with a contextual filter, I cant get anything but a blank view on pages. Works within the view editor itself but not on a page.

If I use a custom content type with a related media field, a contextual view does work, and I can pull it into a product twig template with {{ drupal_view('additionaLproduct_media', 'block_1') }}.

My goal was being able to import media (images and remote video) for a product. I assumed importing into the related content type wouldnt work at all, but it does so I have a working setup.

But, I am left wondering if there is a permission or some other default media setting that keeps it from working with a media content view?

Understanding themes Bootstrap Barrio and Bootstrap Barrio Subtheme

I am trying to use theme Bootstrap Barrio 5.5.20, and have the associated Bootstrap Barrio 5.5.20 Subtheme also installed and set as the default. I have assumed, without knowing for sure, that this Subtheme is a pre-built subtheme that eliminates the need to manually create a subtheme, is that correct? So if I make changes to the subtheme files, not just CSS but possibly in the number and definition of regions, will future updates to Bootstrap Barrio then flow through and not require any reworking or updating of the subtheme?

Why Businesses Still Choose Drupal for Complex Web Development

When people talk about content management systems, WordPress usually dominates the conversation. But for organizations that need something more powerful, scalable, and secure, Drupal is still a very strong choice. Over the years, I’ve seen companies across industries government, healthcare, education, and enterprise-level businesses pick Drupal for projects where other platforms would struggle.

Here are a few reasons why Drupal continues to hold its ground in 2025:

1. Security Comes First
Drupal has a reputation for being one of the most secure CMS platforms available. That’s why it’s often used by government websites and enterprises handling sensitive data. The community takes security patches seriously, and the core itself is built with security in mind.

2. Flexibility and Customization
Unlike plug-and-play systems, Drupal allows developers to build complex workflows, custom content types, and advanced integrations. If a business needs something beyond a simple blog or marketing site say, a multi-lingual platform, a membership system, or an enterprise portal Drupal is equipped for it.

3. Scalability for Growth
Some platforms perform well until traffic spikes or content volume grows. Drupal, however, is designed to handle large amounts of content, users, and integrations without losing stability. This makes it a go-to choice for organizations planning long-term growth.

4. Strong Community and Modules
The Drupal community is active and always building. With thousands of contributed modules, you don’t have to start from scratch for every feature. Chances are, if you need something, there’s already a module or at least a framework to build on.

5. API-First Architecture
Modern businesses often need to integrate with external systems mobile apps, CRMs, ERP software, or third-party APIs. Drupal’s API-first approach makes it easier to connect different technologies and create a smooth digital ecosystem.

At the same time, Drupal does require experienced developers. It’s not always the easiest system for beginners, and projects can take more planning and expertise compared to lightweight CMS platforms. But for organizations that need power, security, and flexibility, the investment pays off.

For those interested in seeing how Drupal can be applied to real projects, here’s a detailed page about Drupal development services that goes deeper into practical use cases and solutions.

I’d be interested to hear from others:

  • Have you worked on Drupal projects recently, and how does it compare to newer frameworks in your experience?
  • Do you think Drupal will remain relevant for enterprise-level web development over the next decade?

Video content for Drupal

Hello everybody,

I've been using Drupal for over fifteen years. I helped to build and grow a Drupal agency in different roles for over a decade until I felt it was time for a new challenge.

So here we are, I've decided I want to create more Drupal content and try to help in growing Drupal and it's community. I'm currently building a Drupal starter (webhaven.io) but next to that I also want to start creating video content for Drupal.

Does anyone think about any topics they would like to learn more about or think that is good content to start with?

I was thinking about setting up Drupal/CMS locally with DDEV and go from there but I'm open for suggestions.

I look forward to your feedback!

PS. I've noticed there already are some video resources available, I would like to do my own thing and add some more rock & roll and practical 'let's build cool stuff together' in it.

Cheers Fons

Is what I want (easily) possible?

Is what I want (easily) possible?

Hi, I'm new to Drupal and I've been watching/reading courses and tutorials for days now and I can't find if what my client wants is possible.

Basically, they struggle to make content so they want to have pre-defined layout which they could add (at least one but not limited)to a page, and no other stuff.

They would like it to present itself more or less like in the picture attached.

I downloaded lots of modules but they don't seem to do what I would like

Can someone point me in the right direction? I didn't expect it to be so hard :-/

Update sqlsrv driver for drupal 11

Client wants to move to d11, but they use sql server, and seems like development on that driver is not very active.

Months ago I patched it to run in the latest d10 before they issued a patch to fix transactions that changed in core.

Thing is I don't know how to fairly quote this, I'm sure rector will get me to a good starting point, and maybe 1-2 days worth of work/testing then potentially contribute a working patch back.

Thoughts?
