kglitch, in Retrofit or Backdrop CMS: Which savior should the damned on Drupal 7 sites turn to? Via Symfony Station.

Oof, the attitude in that article.

I'm moving 10 sites to Backdrop in the near future.

Retrofit is new and untested whereas Backdrop has been thriving for years. It seems like a safer route.

@symfonystation While I agree that sites need to make a long overdue decision about their direction, is there any evidence that Retrofit will actually save a team time or produce a stable, reliable upgrade? I also take issue w/ describing Backdrop as a solution for people "stuck on the outdated Drupal 7 mindset". While I rely on a modern build process to test the tightly coupled CMS/CRM solutions, the cost and complexity of maintaining this is FAR from serenity and the pace of change is intense.

Another option worth taking a look at is BackdropCMS. https://backdropcms.org/

It has much of the power of Drupal, but is easier to use.

@symfonystation Also more integrated multilingual support and the ability to do version control on site configuration.

@symfonystation Because attributes are a native PHP feature, they support comments. This is a big improvement over annotations!

Anything that simplifies Drupal is good.

@symfonystation Changer la classe du formulaire ça casse si qq d'autre veut faire pareil. Il faut plutot utiliser hook_form_alter().

@symfonystation Interesting feature. Unfortunately, it's a proprietary, closed-source solution. Anyone interested in an open implementation of this type of feature should check out https://www.drupal.org/project/simple_styleguide. The module allows users with permission to create pattern entities. We recreated the components from https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/components/accordion/ with it for https://online.uccs.edu/simple-styleguide in D9. For D10, we are using https://www.drupal.org/project/bootstrap_ui_kit which includes the Bootstrap 5 components on install.

@CWSmith I have it working for @rachel so happy to help. What have you enabled so far?

@rachel_norfolk @CWSmith
Interesting: I was able to follow @rachel via the default Mastodon web UI after trying to do so in @elk failed.

I've been meaning to give the Drupal ActivityPub module a try. It's good to hear reports from others who have had success, even if partial!

Wait, what’s the worst language then if it isn’t PHP?

@symfonystation i stopped reading at "Upgrades have been painless, for the most part." It is clear this person wasn't doing anything "advanced" like simpleSAMphp for SSO that needed a new release for Symfony 6 or using a CKEditor plugin that had to be rewritten for 5. Version ignorance is still ignorance. Let's say you you own a Jeep and want a 3" lift. If I asked you what year your Jeep was & you said "don't know, doesn't matter", I'd know you were going to pay too much for that lift.

@kreynen It’s certainly not painless for me. And all of my sites are on 10. Even Drupal knows 7 is not great. At best.

kreynen, in Global City Website Trends: Analysis of CMS Usage on Official City Websites

I opened an issue about the fact that users cannot select images when creating a link... or rather the UI appears to allow it, but the user uploaded image is ignored. I just tested the same process on an MBin instance and the image I wanted to use overrode the default from the URL as expected in https://kbin.melroy.org/m/testing/t/128618/Global-City-Website-Trends-Analysis-of-CMS-Usage-on-Official. I've been watching the MBin fork and the way that developer community is approaching the project in a very transparent way seems like it would be more compatible with what the Drupal community expects.

This is the image I wanted to include with the post.

@kreynen TIL that if a Lemmy user comments on a Kbin thread a Mastodon user will not see that.

kreynen, in The Essential Drupal Commerce Modules for building Online Stores

Spoiler… these modules are all part of the Commerce ecosystem. Commerce is great and a very robust, well-designed solution… for large e-commerce use cases. It would have been nice to see other modules like www.drupal.org/project/stripe_pay included.

@kreynen it's also worth noting that Acquia recently acquire the Mosido accessibility scanning service from CiviPlus (#2 in the large city CMS market). https://www.civicplus.com/news/nn/acquia-to-acquire-monsido-expanding-commitment-to-digital-accessibility-website-optimization-and-compliance/
