Hi. I am thinking of moving away from Wordpress. Has had a lot of suggestion to use this and that, ”headless”(I think it was)but I have earlier used Drupal as admin on a small firm. It was however installed and developed by a web company. Never worked with layout or so, but I gave done my own layout in WP, based on a Genesis child theme. So I am somewhat familiar with css and such. Many years ago I also buit a ”flat” webpage in html and css. I was tild that Drupal is difficult, but I am in no hurry. So what do you think would be the correct way: Drupal 11 or Core? I just read about Drupal CmS which seems to be a new version. Is that a better choise to me? I was also told that Bootstrap 5/Barrio is a good choise if I am used to work in Genesis. I think I could use some plugins though since coding those is above my limit of knowledge. What I think is essential for my current wordpress site(s) are: Autoptimize Contact form Social media button bars SEO Framework WP Optimize And some sort if gig calendar. I use EventON. I understand that these are probably not available forDrupal. And maybe not even needed. But those are the ones I feel are critical on my WP installation.my websites are personal and not commercial. Which gives me a limitrd budget. If needed I can buy theme and some plugins, but can’t afford to hire a web developer.

Thankful for any help.

Hi everyone, I have a question: what's the best way for Drupal theme customization in development?

I have a custom blank theme, and I want to use Sass with some compiler (Vite, Webpack, Gulp?).

Which one do you usually use?

Hi! I'd like to know if it's possible for users to post comments in the language they have selected on the language switcher, and then have those comments automatically translated when another user views the page in a different language.

For example: a user in Chicago browses the English version of the site and posts a comment in English. Later, someone in Bogotá visits the Spanish version of the same node and sees that comment automatically translated into Spanish.

My site is fully multilingual with a single content type. Content translation is enabled, so I manually translate each node to have two versions (Spanish and English). However, I’d like comments to be translated automatically by Drupal (or an integration), rather than doing it manually for every comment.

Bonjour à tous !

J’ai une question pour les experts de JSON:API

J’ai un site Next.js en front et un Drupal en back-end. La communication se fait via JSON:API, et le site est multilingue.

J’utilise Redis pour améliorer les performances, et je souhaite pré-générer les caches Redis via une cron.

Le problème : lorsque j’exécute le cron, les données mises en cache sont toujours dans la langue par défaut (ou celle du back-office), au lieu de respecter la langue que je passe dans ma boucle.

→ Connaissez-vous une manière fiable de forcer la langue de contexte lors de l’exécution d’une cron ou d’une sous-requête JSON:API en PHP (via $this->kernel->handle() par exemple) ?

Pour donner plus de contexte, voici un extrait du code utilisé dans mon cron :

$cache = \Drupal::service('lagoon_global.cache'); $languages = ['en', 'fr', 'de', 'es', 'it', 'pt-pt']; foreach ($languages as $language) { $cache->lifeOnBoardListJsonApi($language); } 

La méthode appelée :

 $collection = $this->jsonapi_client->getNodeCollection('life_on_board', $filters, $options, true, $language, true); 

et ensuite la méthode getNodeCollection est :

public function getNodeCollection(string $bundle, array $filters = [], array $options = [], bool $decode = true, ?string $language = null, ?int $runAsUid = null) { $prefix = $language ? sprintf('/%s', $language) : ''; $path = sprintf('%s/jsonapi/node/%s', $prefix, $bundle); $query = [ "filter" => $filters, ...$options ]; return $this->requestJsonApi('GET', $path, $query, null, $decode, $runAsUid); } 

et finalement :

public function requestJsonApi(string $method, string $path, array $query = [], $body = null, bool $decode = true, ?int $runAsUid = null) { $server = [ 'HTTP_ACCEPT' => 'application/vnd.api+json', 'CONTENT_TYPE' => 'application/vnd.api+json', ]; $query[] = []; $secret = getenv('JSONAPI_SECRET_KEY'); if ($secret) { $server['HTTP_secret-key'] = $secret; } $request = Request::create($path, $method, $query, [], [], $server, is_array($body) ? json_encode($body) : $body); $response = null; if ($response === null) { $response = $this->kernel->handle($request, HttpKernelInterface::SUB_REQUEST); } $status = $response->getStatusCode(); $content = $response->getContent(); if ($status < 200 || $status >= 300) { $this->logger?->error('JSON:API {method} {path} a renvoyé {status}: {body}', [ 'method' => $method, 'path' => $path, 'status' => $status, 'body' => $content, ]); throw new \RuntimeException(sprintf('Erreur JSON:API %s %s (%d)', $method, $path, $status)); } return $decode ? json_decode($content, true, flags: JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR) : $content; } 

Merci d’avance pour vos idées ou retours d’expérience !

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a custom Drupal 11 subtheme based on Bootstrap 5 and I want to achieve the following:

Goal:
I have a footer region called footerblocks and I want all blocks placed in this region to automatically get Bootstrap 5 classes like col-md-4 and mb-4, so they layout nicely in 3 columns.

What I’ve tried:

1. Using hook_preprocess_region()Problem:foreach (Element::children($variables['content']) as $key) { $variables['content'][$key]['#is_in_footerblocks'] = TRUE; }
   • I iterate through $variables['content'] with Element::children() to flag blocks inside footerblocks.
   • Then, in hook_preprocess_block(), I check for this flag and add the classes.
   • Sometimes $variables['content'] is a Markup object instead of an array, which causes a TypeError.
   • Even after fixing with is_array($variables['content']), some blocks in footerblocks are never flagged, and I get logs like: Block b5subtheme_belangrijkelinks_3 processed. Region: NONE. (No footerblocks flag found)
2. Trying to detect region in preprocess_block()
   • I check $variables['elements']['#configuration']['region'] or $variables['elements']['#block']->getRegion().
   • This works for some blocks but not reliably for all, and I’m not sure if I’m missing something about render arrays or region naming.
3. Using block--footerblocks.html.twig I considered creating a custom block template for the footerblocks region (e.g., block--footerblocks.html.twig) and adding the Bootstrap classes there. Problem: Some blocks still don’t render with the correct classes, and I want a method that works for all blocks automatically, without creating a separate template for each block.

Questions:

• What is the best/reliable way in Drupal 11 to detect if a block is placed in a specific region?
• Is there a safer way than preprocess_region() + flags to automatically add classes to all blocks in a region?
• Could there be a problem with how my region footerblocks is defined or rendered in a Bootstrap 5 subtheme?

Thanks in advance for any guidance or examples!

Use case: classified ads type site where user has opportunity to attach many images through dedicated File/Image field. How many? 20+ maybe 30+. That is important!

The problem that built in core file uploader has some bugs (as in https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3548630) and totally break down if one image is does not comply to the set requirements of width x height.

So for that I am using PLupload module, which solves that issue. It just drops image files which are outside allowed dimensions.

Another issue is that even if all the uploading works, like with PLupload module - the built-in Drupal core image sorter has table-like wrapper with <li> items, so all the sorting is made just vertically. It is perfectly ok if we use 3-5 images, but not ok if there are 20-50 images. It is a usability nightmare from end user standpoint.

I found that https://www.drupal.org/project/dropzonejs module should offer vertical and horizontal drag and drop sorting, but I have no luck to get it working on the File/image field no matter what I try.

Just me have no luck with that module or there are other selections?

What would be your solutions to this? Thank you in advance.

Just wanted to share that DrupalFit is running the DrupalFit Challenge – Vienna Edition this year. The idea is simple: they audit submitted Drupal websites using their DrupalFit tool, checking things like performance, security, accessibility, and overall site health.

They’ll recognize the top sites across five award categories, with winners announced live at DrupalCon Vienna on October 16th.

If you’ve got a site you’re proud of, it could be a fun way to see how it measures up and get some recognition from the community.
