The Drupal IXP program officially launched a couple of months ago, marking a significant step in our community's effort to build future talent. Modeled after traditional apprenticeship approaches (with the Drupal-y twist of 250 contribution credits,) the program aims to connect newcomers at the beginning of their Drupal journey with organizations willing to hire and mentor them. While the initiative is poised to address a critical talent gap, its launch occurs during a challenging period for the

Drupal Back-to-Basics - looking for a leader

2025/05/27

In early April, 2025, I was a guest on the Talking Drupal podcast discussing Back-to-Basics, an idea I had to get more beginner-level presentations at Drupal events as a way to better support (and retain) our newer community members. As I am currently a bit overcommitted, this, regretfully, is not something that I have the bandwidth to lead.I do feel that the idea, and getting it up and running as soon as possible, is a good one that can contribute greatly as one solution to the declining pool of

Choosing the right modern Drupal Bootstrap base theme

2025/05/07

A high-level comparison of some of the most-widely used Bootstrap framework-focused base themes, including feedback from some of their maintainers.With more than 150 Bootstrap compatible Drupal 10 contributed themes on Drupal.org, selecting the best Bootstrap-powered base theme for you, your development team, and your project can sometimes come down to a superficial popularity contest. The lack of a clear comparison between the most widely-used and/or most well-known options is frustrating.Rather

As part of DrupalEasy's Professional Module Development (PMD) course, I teach students how to configure an efficient development environment using either DDEV or Lando combined with either PhpStorm or Visual Studio Code. We go rather deep into this topic, often devoting 4-5 hours of class time in getting everyone set up.As the material is part of our proprietary curriculum for which our clients/students pay tuition , I've been reluctant to share it directly: However, over the past couple of years,

Organizations can now be rewarded with Drupal contribution credits (among other enticements) for hiring new, inexperienced (IXP) Drupal developers.After many months (years?) of planning, the Drupal IXP program is open and accepting applications for hiring organizations. From now forward, any participating organization that hires a new Drupal developer (with less than 3 months of paid experience) can earn 250 contribution credits upon successful program completion.I'm super proud to have been

As part of weekly office hours for DrupalEasy students and alumni, I am often asked to suggest sessions at upcoming Drupal events that I think are worthwhile. During one our our most recent DrupalEasy Office Hours, I was again asked to run down the list of my picks from all the sessions at DrupalCon Atlanta 2025, and afterward I thought that it might make a fun blog post.Of course, I can't in good conscience suggest that my picks are the best for anyone else to attend among the ginormous volume of

There's been more than a few articles written over the past year about the promise ofDrupal CMS, but not a whole lot of articles about what Drupal CMS will specifically include. This article will attempt to fill in the gaps, by providing a bit of a high-level synopsis of what the 1.0 version of Drupal CMS will currently include. It is meant to provide an overview of most of the specific modules, information architecture, and functionality that you can expect out-of-the-box.Note: This article is

The initial version of the Drupal CMS AI recipe was merged into Drupal CMS on December 3 and I couldn't wait to check it out…(well, I guess I could wait just until the end of my vacation last week 😀.) Anyway, the first chance I had, I updated my local development copy of Drupal CMS and got right to it.Quick sidenoteThe first thing I noticed is that the installer had changed since I last updated my local copy (about three weeks ago.) It has a much cleaner look, but it also appears that the AI

If you manage a modern Drupal site with the Media module enabled, then you're probably not a stranger to the "potentially insecure to display oEmbed content" warning that greets you whenever you visit your site'sStatus Report.In this article, I'll tell you what this means, and what you can do to update your site to remove this warning.What does it mean?When you enable the Drupal core Media module, one of the media types that is automatically created isRemote Video.

2024/10/29

It's not super-often that a Drupal core change record stops me in my tracks, but recently, one did exactly that.With so much of Drupal core written using modern, object-oriented PHP, there was still one place where we needed to use plain-old PHP functions: hook implementations. Drupal hooks have been with us since before I started with Drupal (over 18 years ago,) and I had long hoped that with the advent of "modern" Drupal (Drupal 8+,) eventually hooks would be converted over to Symfony events.Much

With the new Drupal core Navigation module introduced in 10.3.0, the long-standing Admin toolbar contrib module may finally have some competition.The Admin toolbar module includes the Admin toolbar tools module that provides easy access to commonly-used functionality, including Flush all caches. The new core Navigation module does not provide the option for these, and the other options provided by Admin toolbar tools.Both Navigation and Admin toolbar provide dynamic, fly-out menus for easy access

With Drupal Starshot on the horizon, the possibilities of expanding the market share for Drupal through Drupal CMS and building further on the power of Drupal Core creates a new vision, new opportunities and hopefully a renewed path of growth for our beloved community. So, while we all look to fully understand the Starshot initiative and its implications for our businesses and the way we market Drupal, it seems like a good time to also reflect, and perhaps begin to really address, the dwindling

How to step down successfully as a Drupal leader

2024/09/05

In my 15+ years in the Drupal community, I've been fortunate to have been able to lead a few Drupal-related groups and I sometimes find myself in the position of encouraging other leaders - who are experiencing burnout - on how to gracefully step down from leadership positions after multiple years of service.When I say "groups," I'm talking about things like:Drupal event organizersDrupal module/theme/project maintainersDrupal initiative leadersDrupal working group leadersIt seems counter-intuitive

There's no doubt that the ECA module is changing the way Drupal sites are built - at least for those of us that use it regularly. I recently used it to pre-populate a form field on a nodeadd page and it turned out to be easier than I figured it would be.The task was to pass the value I wanted to pre-populate into the form via a query string variable. Something like:https://mysite.ddev.site/node/add/article?myvalue=1On the nodeadd page, there exists an entity reference field whose value I'd like to

Getting ready to run your first migration

2024/07/23

Migrating content into Drupal is an extremely useful skill for most Drupal developers. Often, the most difficult step in learning to do migrations is the first one - that of getting everything set up and running your first migration to ensure that everything is working as expected.Most Drupal migration-related blog posts and documentation that I've seen either completely ignore the setup process or gloss over it before diving into the details of writing migrations. I like to ensure, both here, and

Visual Debugger module: a modern take on an old idea

If you've been a Drupal developer since before the time of modern Drupal (pre-Drupal 8,) then you probably remember the Theme Developer module. This module is/was used to figure out theme template usage and possible overrides in Drupal 7.With modern Drupal, this same information is available directly in the HTML source code of a file when Twig development mode is enabled.The Visual Debugger module by Marcos Hollanda combines the best of the present with the best of the past to surface template

Image used with permission from Michael Richardson from Ironstar.io.I took a lot away from DrupalCon Portland 2024, and while one of my lasting memories from the main keynote (the Driesnote) will be the introduction of Starshot, something that has occupied a good amount of space in my brain is what happened just prior to Dries’ Starshot announcement.At the start of his presentation (the 21:15 mark of this video,) Dries asks everyone with at least one year of Drupal experience to stand up.
