Hi, Drupal Developer here with 10+ years of remote experience with Drupal 7-10.

I am now currently working for a full-time remote position; but every application on LinkedIn/Indeed yields no results, not even a mail from recruiter.

So, the question is, which sites are most popular for Drupal positions? Or what approach can I use to land a job with Drupal?

Thank you for all the answers!

I am trying to upgrade a Drupal CMS 1.1.0 installation and Composer says drupal cms is locked to 1.1.0 and causes conflicts with other modules.

Below is a quotation from this link - https://www.drupal.org/project/cms/releases/2.1.0-beta1

Drupal CMS 2.1.0-beta includes a new site template, Haven, with a warm and bright design and features aimed at non-profit websites.

This release should be used for testing only and is not suitable for building websites. There is no update path for Drupal CMS.

It may be a glorious journey to upgrade from the current Drupal CMS 1.1.0 but I don't feel that adventurous.

Right now I just want to make sure I don't fall behind on security updates with all installed modules whether they are part of the Drupal CMS 1.x recipes even if I don't upgrade to 2.x.x.

If Drupal CMS 1.x is locked to particular versions of Drupal Core does that mean it will be eventually insecure and have to be abandoned, unless it offers the ability transfer the content to Drupal 2.x?

Hi,

In a couple of weeks I’ll be trying to get my backend specialist certification. However I don’t feel like I’ve grasped the concepts of Core API and especially caching that well… so I would like to ask for tips and tricks for getting better at them.

Also, how did you experience the exam? What kind of questions did they ask?

I’d like to know!

Hi! I am a full stack developer -- MERN, Django specializing in backend, I have seen many people using platforms like wordpress, shopify, drupal, flutter to make websites rather than coding everything from scratch.

I genuinely have no experience with these apps and want to explore these things.

I learned PHP and how it works recently to understand drupal but I am not finding any good resource to learn drupal, can any gentlemen or woman help me with their knowledge from where I can learn about Drupal architecture?

TL, DR: Looking for drupal learning resources.

Thank you !

Have an on prem D7 environment and looking to move everything into the cloud (Azure or AWS).

Discussions around the table is approach:

1. Upgrade to D11 then move to the cloud?

or

1. Move to the cloud then do the upgrade?

Any tips, tricks, or recommendations are appreciated.

Hey, let's say I initiated new Drupal project locally using official ddev instructions. Smooth and clean experience, all good. Now, what to do next? I would like to start develop - turn off twig and any other caching, enable debugging, ensure that .gitignore is prepare for a composer-managed project, configure config_sync_directory so i can store entire site configuration in a git.

Nothing special I would say - just a normal way of working on a stuff as a developer, while keeping the best practices.

And the question is: Where I can find some official docs so I do not have to use a tribal knowledge or guess whether I configured my gitignore, settings and services files correctly? Where i can read such an infos like why there is a dot in third line of .gitignore, after /vendor.?

Did I missed something or this part is not well documented?

[not a promotion] One of the developers on our team just wrapped up a deep-dive webinar on how we’re using the ECA (Event - Condition - Action) module alongside Drupal's new AI features.

If you've ever felt like you're writing too much custom code for simple entity triggers or workflow logic, this is definitely worth a look. The session walks through how to build visual automation models that can trigger AI actions (like auto-tagging or content analysis) without touching a custom module.

Check out the full session here: https://youtu.be/uSEYJ5TiCcE

We’ve been moving more of our production logic over to ECA lately to keep things maintainable. Curious to hear if anyone else is using ECA + AI in their current projects, or if you’re still sticking to custom hooks for complex logic?

Has anyone successfully managed to use cloud storage with flysystem and S3 or Google Cloud Storage without the performance trade-off when generating image styles? My experience was terrible, even with image styles warmer module. The application heavily uses images and multiple image styles in addition to responsive images, which generate multiple resolutions per image.

Hi, I really would appreciate advice on a Drupal challenge I face. I'm managing the Drupal website of my orchestra, it started on version 10 and was recently upgrade to 11 by the DirectAdmin maintenance of the provider. Since the upgrade the site is unstable - running composer yields many pages of patches/upgrades after which the site breaks down completely.

As a solution I now setup a fresh v11 site that works fine.

The only small workload left is to export/import the content from the old site to the new one.

This is my first experience with a CMS platform - but have 20 years experience with self-built dynamic websites. For these, contents and platform are nicely separated and can be exported/import with little hassle.

I suppose Drupal also stores the contents (pages/articles) separated from the platform and that export/import should be breeze. However, I failed to find the protocol for this. Am I too naive ? Which tables have the contents ? Which cross-references should be updated after import ?

Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions

A while ago someone on this sub posted about an AI exclusively for building Drupal sites that could do anything like modules, bug fixes, full builds, the whole site build. It stuck with me, as Drupal is pitched as a way for non-tech people to build websites with but getting to that point requires tech skills to lay the foundation.

Can see my previous posts about my progress so far (basically able to get a custom Drupal site running in ddev just from prompts) but wanted to pause and get some feedback from people who'd actually use this:

- Is chat the right interface, or would you rather have something more structured (wizards, forms, config-driven)?

- Where's your "doing this myself" line drawn? Content modeling? Custom entities? Views? Theming?

- If generic LLMs + your own workflow already cover 80% of this, what would the remaining 20% need to look like?

Just want to know if this is worth finishing or if most of you have already solved this with Cursor/Claude Code and I'm building a solution to a shrinking problem.

Hi everyone,

If you’ve managed large multilingual Drupal sites, you know the TMGMT module is a good way to go, but the actual translation process (especially with AI) can still feel a bit disconnected from the site's context.

We built an integration that lives directly inside TMGMT. The goal was to solve three specific issues:

1. Context: Choosing between 'Faithful', 'Fluid', or 'Creative' styles based on the content type.
2. Consistency: Using translation memories and glossaries so the AI doesn't hallucinate brand terms.
3. Layout: Ensuring the translated strings don't break your site's design.

We’re hosting a live, hands-on session on May 7th at 11 AM CEST to show the technical setup and how it handles complex nodes.

Roberto Peruzzo from Sparkfabrik will be there to dive into the dev side of things. If you have questions about TMGMT provider configurations or AI localization workflows, feel free to drop them here or join us live!
