I recently created my first #Drupal@ViewsField plugin, which apparently is unique among plugins in that you also need to implement a hook (hook_views_data_alter) to tell Views about it and how to use it. The properties you define in the hook seem very similar to what other plugins take as annotation.
Is there something especially complex about this plugin type that regular annotation isn't enough, thus the hook? Or is this just a case of a plugin type that COULD be simplified but hasn't yet?
While at a recent #drupal event, I was talking with some folks about various US-based Drupal events and got to thinking about what is the most consistent large Drupal event west of the Mississippi River? Colorado? Stanford? Is Drupal getting more of an East Coast focus?
IMO, there's too much focus on easy access for all and not enough on meaningful consequences for people & groups that exploit an open web for purposes of hate, exploitation, or abuse.
While that might be beyond Drupal's role in the open web, I think it's important to acknowledge & discuss
I'm sorry, but method_exists() — a function that you only use to make sure you don't accidentally cause a fatal error if a variable doesn't contain the type of object than you expect — causes a fatal error if you pass it a variable containing a different type of object than you expect?!
I'd normally say "go home PHP, you're drunk", but this is like the opposite situation, where PHP has stopped drinking and is now being insufferable and chiding everyone else for minor mistakes.
Just sayin’ : for Drupal version upgrades that have been billed (for the most part) as no-brainers, recent upgrades from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9, and from Drupal 9 to Drupal 10, have taken hundreds of hours.At $100+/hour that''s a significant investment for, essentially, no perceived value. The time and expense involved have helped push management away from Drupal as the preferred content management platform.
Hey folks, I've been diving into artificial intelligence lately, curious about how it could supercharge our human abilities, and maybe even drive #Drupal to new heights.
So, I thought I'd tinker around with an #AI tool to whip up some fresh logos that embody the forward-thinking, innovative spirit of Drupal. Again, just for fun, please note that I'm not proposing anything here and I love the current logo 😊
Here's what it came up with – what do you think? Which one is your favourite?
#Drupal#Starshot: We're building a distribution but not calling it a distribution, including initiatives that we were doing anyway, to make it easier for users to do things quickly, but we don't know exactly what those things will be or how they will be implemented, but it can all be done in 8 months, because we are going to solve our governance problems by bypassing our usual governance process.
The last #Drupal business survey result summary slides have this one on the deck referring to non profit organisations not being part of the top clients for respondents of the survey.
With Drupal 9 EoL and Drupal 10+ no longer supporting IE, what are the chances we can get Olivero to drop PostCSS and return to SASS for CSS compiling?
Heute renne ich aber in Hinsicht IT auch gegen Wände. #Drupal war mal eine so großartig benutzerfreundliche CMS Software. Dann kam 8 mit dem #composer command line tool und man brauchte plötzlich entweder die volle Kontroller über den Server (statt FTP und DB Zugang) oder... die Tutorials für dieses BASIS, absolut typisches Hosting Format ist völlig vergraben unter tausenden Tuts, die nur lokale Installationen beschreiben. grmpfl
Here is some exciting news for the weekend: ECA 2.0.0-beta1 for #Drupal just landed.
The release notes at https://www.drupal.org/project/eca/releases/2.0.0-beta1 contain more details as well as instructions on how you can test this on your Drupal 10 or 11 site. Feedback is important! So, if you have any chance, please give it a try and let us know if anything doesn't work as expected. Thank you so much in advance. We're planning to publish the ECA 2 version within the next 3 weeks!
I wonder just how many #Drupal contributed & custom modules marked themselves as D10-ready because Upgrade Status was happy when they removed dependencies on core/jquery.once and replace it with core/once
...but aren't actually D10 ready because Upgrade Status didn't flag their references to $.once() throughout their code.
i ran into some peculiar speedbumps building a very basic #drupal 10 site that would be showstoppers for novices:
😬#ckeditor 5 inline images and default admin themes don't apply height:auto, but do set image max-width to 100%, so my giant pixel art displays at the wrong aspect ratio before correcting it in both the admin and default themes
😬this haunted windows vs linux syntax issue with #mysql db config https://www.drupal.org/forum/support/post-installation/2024-03-09/error-drupalmysqldriverdatabasemysqlconnection-not-found
😬the generate-theme based theme ignores block layout order
I have a set of #drupal sites that will share a set of common taxonomy terms.
What's the best way of sharing taxonomy terms between the sites?
I have some ideas, but I'm wondering if there are any modules that support this.
