This week’s The Payload newsletter is out. It has the latest news and more in the Symfony, Drupal, PHP, Cybersec, and Fediverse development communities.
DrupalCon Portland will likely be remembered for the #drupal Starshot announcement from @dries. Now that I (and others) have had a few days to think about what it means, I have some thoughts:
Sigh, I spent hours and hours working with a client to figure out why #GoogleAnalytics stopped being reported for their #Drupal site. Turns out to be a two line bug in the google_tag module that made a checkbox checked by default no matter what value was selected before.
Discovered yesterday that Masto embeds do not work on our Drupal site -- as in they are not visible on the public facing page, although they appear fine in the back-end editor. Anybody here know what might be the issue? I embed other <iframe> stuff all the time and have never had this problem before. Any and all suggestions welcome. #FediHelp#drupal#mastodon

Tickets are still available for the event, book your #Drupal weekend on #Anglesey today!

Fantastic blog post from @philipnorton42 where he provides an in-depth overview of various #drupal contrib modules related to user logins (with a focus on security). Even if you’ve been around Drupal for awhile, I’ll bet everyone will learn something from this article:
We have a wonderful pipeline of Linux Australia-auspiced events coming up for the back half of 2024, after fantastic conferences earlier in the year by the teams at #DrupalSouth in #Sydney and @everythingopen in #Gladstone
What's your solution in #drupal for note titles that need formatting like bold and italics?
I almost always create separate "Title" (plain text) and "Display Title" (html) fields for content types, but I've never heard anyone else suggest this or seen it in practice.
