Since the 2024 election, the BlueSky social network has exploded in popularity, and appears to be replacing the cesspool that used to be Twitter. I'm not much of a social media person -- I much prefer hanging out in smaller spaces with people with shared interests. If you're like me, I would highly recommend finding a Mastodon server that caters to your interests, where you're sure to find rewarding conversations.

Curious about how Drupal is evolving, shaping the future of web experiences, and connecting a global community of innovators? Step inside my journey at DrupalCon Singapore 2024, where sessions on cutting-edge technologies, hands-on mentoring, and insightful discussions collided to spark new ideas. From decoupled architectures and automated testing to dynamic SEO enhancements and multilingual site strategies, discover what happened on the conference floor—and how these fresh perspectives can fuel your own Drupal ambitions.

Drupal Advent Calendar day 20 - Navigation james Fri, 12/20/2024 - 09:00

It’s day 20 of the Drupal Advent Calendar, and today we’re looking at the admin UI Navigation. Joining us today are Pablo López and Matthew Oliveira, so let’s look into it…

The aim of the Navigation track is to provide a better site management experience for Drupal users. It does not provide a specific recipe or feature to Drupal CMS. Navigation is a core experimental module. However, the Navigation track provides key integration points to Drupal CMS that will help other tracks to highlight their features in the new Navigation left sidebar.

With the release of Drupal 11.1.0, CKEditor 5 core module has been updated to version 44.0.0. The new CKEditor 5 version supports self-service licensing plans and enables users to integrate and purchase premium features seamlessly. 

 CKEditor 5 Premium Features module has also been updated and introduces the new Version Override Submodule allowing manual upgrades of CKEditor 5 within Drupal projects, ensuring access to the latest editor capabilities regardless of the Drupal version. Notably, for projects on Drupal 10.3 and 11.0.0 that are not yet upgraded to the current version, the Override Submodule is essential for accessing CKEditor 5 version 44.0.0 and enabling the new self-service licensing features. 

This year, we lived to see the release of a new version of Drupal. Drupal 11 brought many new features, such as intuitive menus and ready-made configurations (called recipes), making it an even better choice as a platform for building a dedicated CMS. How does this system differ from previous versions, and how can you take advantage of its capabilities when building your website? Find out why you should consider choosing this system or upgrading to Drupal 11.

One downside of automating things is dealing with outages. Sometimes services go down, and are not available for some period of time. When this happens, how does it impact your automation?

If you don't design your automation carefully, you might lose the data entirely. Or get spammed by hundreds of submissions when it comes back up. Handling this correctly does end up needing some understanding of how the automation works, as well as any quirks of the remote system.

Today we are looking at publishing workflows in Drupal CMS. 

Something that many content management systems have offered out-of-the-box is the ability to specify a date and time when a piece of content will be published. This has also been available in Drupal for a very long time, but has always required installation of extra modules - until now.
