Now I remember way I blocked out working on a to for a while. The hunt for workarounds for stuff is exhausting.

@onion Depending on your site and needs, Backdrop CMS could be an alternative upgrade path.

Heute renne ich aber in Hinsicht IT auch gegen Wände. war mal eine so großartig benutzerfreundliche CMS Software. Dann kam 8 mit dem 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

@sarahroth If you are interested, try Backdrop CMS — forked from Drupal 7 many years ago.

    It's funny how people who talk about web dev believe that a very particular set of "modern", JS-heavy, build-heavy practices are the only thing worth discussing, while continues to quietly take over everything.

    @tomw @yeri If you liked Drupal (but not as much modern Drupal), give Backdrop a spin sometime just for fun. https://backdropcms.org.

    The latest release of Video Embed Field for pulls in a bunch of RTBC patches from the queue, which have been languishing there but are much appreciated. Thanks to all who worked on them over the years!

    Am I reading this right? are we recommending Wordpress now?

    The whole page on https://www.drupal.org/about/drupal-7/d7eol/partners feels like a slap in the face for small to medium integrators.

    So if you have small to medium projects, the recommendation is move to Wordpress (or Wix!), and if you have a large project, here are a list of certified? companies.

    I really worry as a Drupal small agency owner that the marketing that the DA/working groups is putting out is really damaging.

    What's the best to manage the membership of a non-profit organization on a small scale?

    NonprofitBackdrop,
    @NonprofitBackdrop@fosstodon.org avatar

    @lefuturiste @Doudouosm It is a good one! Very powerful and you can activate just the components you need.

    How would I display every taxonomy term from a vocabulary as a block on a single page and inside each block, all of the nodes for each term using Backdrop CMS?

    NonprofitBackdrop,
    @NonprofitBackdrop@fosstodon.org avatar

    @sillygwailo The terms need to be in separate blocks?

    From the Driesnote Q&A at :

    "I would say has been a net-positive for the project… Hopefully [organizations with Drupal 7 sites] will choose to upgrade to Drupal 10 or Drupal 11… but I also recognize that there are a lot of organizations that may not have the means to do that, and for them, Backdrop might be a great solution… I think we can promote that as one of the options for people that are stuck with Drupal 7…"

    Thanks @keiserjb for drawing attention to this answer!

    Does anyone have recommendations for a lightweight self hosted alternative to wordpress? I'm done with WP.... I'm at the stage where I'm about to bust out notepad and write some HTML 😂 Please boost for more EYES 👀

    @NonprofitBackdrop@fosstodon.org avatar

    @SeaFury @Catwoman69y2k @dhalucario For folks who have tried Drupal and want the flexibility but simplified, might I suggest (clears throat) ?

    NonprofitBackdrop,
    @NonprofitBackdrop@fosstodon.org avatar

    @Catwoman69y2k @stpaultim @SeaFury @dhalucario Yes, Backdrop forked in ~2015 (from essentially Drupal 7 although technically in between Drupal 7 and 8).

    NonprofitBackdrop,
    @NonprofitBackdrop@fosstodon.org avatar

    @stpaultim @dhalucario That looks like a great place to start. And the forum or the live chat on Zulip is always there if you have a particular question.
