Drupal Association blog: Why You Should Attend Open Source Conferences 

Tue, 2024-03-12 10:00

Network, Learn, and Collaborate - The three key motivations for individuals and organizations to participate in conferences. Every regular conference has a theme or niche that serves as a focal point for discussions and advancement. These events serve as stages for personal branding and business promotion, with attendees aiming to gain insights and contacts that directly benefit their individual goals and organizational interests. 

Although open-source events rely on these key motivations too, they have a unique flavor of community spirit and collaboration that’s not found in traditional conferences. Open source events like DrupalCons thrive on shared knowledge, transparent innovation, and a sense of collective growth.

What is DrupalCon? 

DrupalCon is an annual open-source conference that brings together open-source enthusiasts, developers, designers, and end users for networking, learning, and collaboration, all under one roof. This is where you can meet the people who made the software, get inspired, and actively contribute to the project. The next upcoming DrupalCon North America event is being held in Portland, Oregon, from 06 May 2024 to 09 May 2024. We’ll give you some reasons why you should attend open-source events like DrupalCon 2024.

Benefits of Attending Open Source Conferences 

An open-source enthusiast knows that events like DrupalCons are celebrations of community-driven innovation. The energy is contagious, the ideas are limitless, and the camaraderie extends beyond the conference halls. 

Spirit of Open-Source

Open source is almost synonymous with collaboration. Collaboration by contributors who are the heartbeat of any open-source project. These events provide a platform for individuals and organizations to come together, contribute to the community, and drive the future of open source. It aligns with the open-source commitment to empowering innovation through the collective efforts of a vibrant and engaged community. In an event like DrupalCon, you get a chance to meet people who are passionate about Drupal and driving it forward. 

Career Boost

If you're launching your career or contemplating a switch to something more fulfilling, few experiences rival the rewards of joining an open-source community. And there’s no better place to kick off this journey than an open-source conference. You’re not just exploring job opportunities but also gaining the knowledge you need from training sessions and meaningful interactions with seasoned experts. You can also upgrade your skills through hands-on workshops and interactive sessions at the event. At DrupalCon, you can always find support if you’re new to the world of Drupal or Open source. A mentor will help guide you through your entire experience by suggesting what sessions you should attend for your professional development. You can even learn to make your first contribution to the project through your mentor.

Spot the Trend

Want to know what’s new in your area of interest? Open-source conferences are the best places to identify emerging trends, innovations, and shifts in the industry - much before they become mainstream! You come out well-equipped with insights into upcoming technologies and initiatives. This will not only help you in your professional development but also enable you to contribute meaningfully to innovative projects. All of this ultimately leads to improved user experiences and future-ready applications. At DrupalCon, immerse yourself in firsthand insights as Dries Buytaert, the founder himself, shares the current state of Drupal in his keynote (DriesNote). Discover upcoming initiatives and innovation on the horizon, and get a sneak peek into the exciting developments set to launch. 

The Power of Open Source Networking

We all know how powerful networking can be for your career or business development. But for an open-source community, networking is an indispensable aspect. It's impossible to have a successfully operating community without networking. Open-source events let you connect with like-minded individuals, developers, agencies, and contributors, fostering potential collaboration. Get mentorship, guidance, and exposure to new opportunities to aid your professional growth. Attend DrupalCon to connect with thousands of open-source enthusiasts and build meaningful connections with professionals just like you. Programs like BoFs (Birds of a Feather) at DrupalCon let you exchange information and share best practices around a common topic of interest. Make DrupalCon your opportunity to grow.

Real-World Learning

Learning from real-world scenarios truly refines your understanding of technology and innovation. Attending industry summits at open-source conferences is a great way to gain practical insights from industry leaders. It’s a chance to understand the real-world challenges faced by them and the practical solutions implemented. Through live demos, case studies, and applications, you can see the ropes in action. Industry summits often highlight the methodologies that are proving successful in the current landscape, providing actionable takeaways. DrupalCon has a full day dedicated to industry summits like the higher educational summit, non-profit summit, government summit and community summit. 

Final Thoughts

Whether it's networking opportunities, hands-on learning, or trend forecasting, open-source conferences offer a holistic approach to staying on top of ever-changing technologies. They contribute to the collective growth of the entire open-source community. It's an investment in continuous learning, professional enrichment, and the boundless possibilities of open collaboration. Did we mention that DrupalCons aren't just about coding and tech talk? There's a ton of fun to be had too! Take a look at the social events from last year

Matt Glaman: Drupal has made contributing to open source a marketing opportunity

Tue, 2024-03-12 09:18

Drupal has done something unique with contributing to open source. Our community has made contributing to the open source project a marketing opportunity for organizations using Drupal. Generally, contributing to open source projects reflects at the individual level. There isn't a great way to reflect if the individual did it out of some intrinsic value to improve open source or by sponsored work with their employer or a customer. As far as I know, Drupal is the only open source project providing this kind of attribution.

ADCI Solutions: Speed up your website with React Server Components

Tue, 2024-03-12 07:09

The React team proposes a new way to improve page load speed and reduce TTI—the time it takes a page to become fully interactive.

***

One of the ways to improve website performance is to reduce traffic from the server to the user’s (client’s) device. The client-server architecture is essentially the queue of requests and responses between the client and the server, which in turn accesses the database.

Gradually, web development began to take on other tasks, such as where and how to cache the page or mark it up for SEO so that it could later go live and work for the user, or what part of the page rendering could be done by the client or by the server.

Eventually, there were developers who took the React library, built the Next framework around it, proposed the principle of Server-Side Rendering (or SSR) along with the framework.

Specbee: Better Page Layouts with the CSS Grid Layout Module in Drupal

Tue, 2024-03-12 05:06
Fed up with the hassle of finicky CSS positioning and floats for organizing your page layout? They don't always play nice with all browsers. It's time for a smoother solution! Let’s talk about the brand new module - CSS Grid or Grid Layout that brings a two-dimensional grid system to CSS. This grid-based layout system is a versatile way of organizing your content, with rows and columns, making it easier to design complex layouts. Check out the rest of the blog for insights on CSS Grid Layout and integrating the CSS Grid Layout Drupal module into your project. CSS Grid Terminology Similar to CSS Flexbox, where we have flex containers and flex items, in CSS Grid, we follow a similar concept with grid containers and grid items. To turn a container into a CSS Grid container, we simply set its display property to “Grid”. Grid Container: The grid container wraps all the grid items within its area. Grid Cell: Each individual item inside the grid container is referred to as a grid cell or grid item.A Grid layout forms a two-dimensional structure, with columns along the Y-axis and rows along the X-axis. Grid Line: The vertical and horizontal lines that divide the grid into columns and rows are called grid lines. They are automatically numbered for columns as well as for the rows starting from 1 all the way to the number of rows or columns plus 1. Grid Gap: The space between Grid cells is called a gutter or Grid Gap. Grid Track: Grid items aligned in a row or column are referred to as a grid track. For horizontal alignment, we use the term "row track," and for vertical alignment, it's called a "column track." Grid Area: The area between two vertical and horizontal lines is called grid area. Demonstration of row and column values and properties HTML <div class="wrapper"> <div class="header">Header</div> <div class="box-1">Box 1</div> <div class="box-2">Box 2</div> <div class="box-3">Box 3</div> <div class="main-content">Main Content</div> <div class="sidebar">Sidebar</div> <div class="footer">Footer</div> </div>CSS .wrapper{ display: grid; grid-template-rows: 100px 200px 400px 100px; grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr) minmax(200px, 1fr); grid-gap: 30px; // Line names grid-template-rows: 100px [box-start] 200px [box-end content-start] 400px [content-end] 100px; // Grid area names grid-template-areas: "head head head ." "box1 box2 box3 side" "main main main side" "foot foot foot foot"; } // Using Line numbers .header{ grid-column: 1 / -1; } .main-content{ grid-row: 3 / 4; grid-column: 1 / 4; } // Using Line Names .sidebar{ grid-row: box-start / content-end; } // Using Grid Area Names .footer{ grid-column: foot; }Grid Properties For making an element a grid container, we use display:grid grid-template-row - Defines the number of rows in a grid layout. grid-template-column - Defines the number of columns in a grid layout. row-gap & column-gap - Defines the gap between grid row and grid column individually. grid-gap - Defines the gap between both rows and columns respectively in a grid layout. The Repeat function -  It is employed to express a recurring segment of the tracklist, enabling the concise notation of a repetitive pattern for a substantial number of columns or rows. The Fr unit - A fractional unit that dynamically calculates layout divisions. With 1fr, you get one share of the available space within the grid. Naming Grid Lines - Give names to specific or all lines in your grid while defining it using the grid-template-rows and grid-template-columns properties. Naming Grid Areas - The grid-template-areas CSS property specifies named grid areas, establishing the cells in the grid and assigning them names. grid-row - The grid item's start and end position within the grid row. grid-columns - The grid item's start and end position within the grid column. min-content - The property specifies the intrinsic minimum width of the content. max-content - The property specifies the intrinsic maximum width or height of the content. minmax - Defines a size range greater than or equal to min and less than or equal to max content. Browser inspector view for grid - align and justify items and content HTML <div class="container"> <div class="item item--1">Modern</div> <div class="item item--2">CSS</div> <div class="item item--3">with</div> <div class="item item--4">Flexbox</div> <div class="item item--5">and</div> <div class="item item--6">Grid</div> <div class="item item--7">is</div> <div class="item item--8">Great</div> </div>CSS .container{ display: grid; grid-template-rows: repeat(2, 150px); grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 300px); grid-auto-flow: row; grid-auto-rows: 150px; grid-gap: 30px; // Aligning content in row direction align-content: center; // Aligning content in column direction Justify-content: center; // Aligning items in row direction align-items: center; // Aligning items in column direction justify-items: center; .item{ &--2{ grid-row: 2 / span 2; // Aligning item in row direction align-self: center; // Aligning item in column direction justify-self: center; } }align-items - Align Grid items inside the grid cell or area in the column/vertical axis. justify-items - Align Grid items inside the grid cell or area in the row/horizontal axis. align-self - Overrides the grid item's align-items value and aligns itself inside the cell/area in the column/vertical axis. justify-self - Overrides the grid item's justify-items value and aligns itself inside the cell/area row/horizontal axis. align-content - Specifies how the grid content is distributed along the column axis / vertically in a grid container. justify-content - Specifies how the grid content is distributed along the row axis / horizontally in a grid container. grid-auto-flow - The property regulates the direction in which auto-placed items are inserted into the grid, either in the row or column direction. The default value is row. grid-auto-rows - This property sets a size for the rows in a grid container. grid-auto-columns - The grid-auto-columns property sets a size for the columns in a grid container. auto-fill - This property fills rows with as many columns as possible, even if the added column is empty, occupying space in the row. Browser inspector view for grid auto-fill property auto-fit - It fills rows with as many columns as possible. It collapses empty cells, setting their width to 0 to prevent excess space. Browser inspector view for grid auto-fit property Implementing the Drupal CSS Grid layout module The Drupal CSS Grid Layout module seamlessly integrates the power of CSS Grid into your Drupal environment, providing a flexible and efficient way to structure and organize content. Installing the module Prerequisites: Layout builder Layout Discovery Install CSS Grid Layout module using - composer require 'drupal/css_grid:^1.0@beta'Next, enable the module here: Administration > extend Add a new layout builder page: Content → add content → Layout builder page → layout → Add section Now you have yourself a newly created layout CSS Grid. Choose CSS Grid, and you'll find options for columns, rows, and gaps, allowing you to create a dynamic grid layout. You can then incorporate column, row, and gap values according to the desired structure.   You can also choose from different CSS and grid layout units. Final Thoughts These are the fundamental aspects of the CSS Grid layout algorithm. Armed with this knowledge, you can construct intricate and interactive layouts, eliminating the reliance on CSS frameworks. For Drupal frontend developers, the integration of the CSS Grid Layout module adds an extra layer of flexibility and enables seamless implementation and customization of grid-based designs within Drupal. If you're ready to implement these cutting-edge design techniques into your Drupal website, explore our Drupal services for seamless integration and customization.

DrupalEasy: Reintroducing Drupal core's Views "Combine fields filter"

Tue, 2024-03-12 04:16

I was recently reminded of a Drupal core feature that I hadn't used in a long time - and was pleasantly surprised at how useful it is.

The Combine fields filter Views filter allows a site-builder to quickly and easily set up an exposed filter that searches multiple fields for a given search term. Think of it as a way to combine multiple exposed search filters into a single search box.

Setting it up is quite easy - just include all the fields that you want to search in the Fields section, marking them with Exclude from display as necessary (Unfortunately, Combine fields filter doesn't work with view modes.)

Then, add and expose a Combine fields filter to the view, and configure it to use all the fields you want searchable in the Choose fields to combine for filtering section of the filter's configuration:

 

I created a simple example of a Movie content type with example fields including Title, Image, Plot summary, Spoilers, Year of release, Short description, Taglines, and Trivia. I added all of these fields to the Fields configuration of the view - with all of them hidden except for Title and Image.

Next, I added a Combine fields filter as described above, selecting all of the fields to be combined for filtering. Finally, I added a few sample Movie nodes.

To test things out, I searched for terms that were added as part of the various Movie content type fields (but purposely not words in the Title fields). The results were exactly what I was expecting!

In the first example, the word biff appears in the Plot summary field for Back to the Future

In the first example, the word biff appears in the Plot summary field for Back to the Future. Next, the word saga appears in the Short description field of The Last Jedi.The number 1985 appears in the Year of release field of Back to the Future.Finally, the words Michael Caine appear in the Trivia field of The Dark Knight


There are a few caveats when using Combine fields filter with one of the more impactful being that when utilizing a multivalued field (as the Trivia and Taglines fields are in the previous example), the Multiple field settings configuration cannot utilize the Display all values in the same row option. Fortunately, these fields are usually excluded (hidden) from search views like this.

PreviousNext: How can free open source CMSes remain competitive with enterprise clients?

Mon, 2024-03-11 23:52

With Drupal now heavily used in the enterprise market by very large organisations, much of its direct competition is from well-funded proprietary products. From the perspective of my role on the Drupal Association board, I gave a talk at FOSDEM in February 2024 on the strategies and initiatives the Drupal community is starting to put in place to remain competitive in the enterprise market and how these approaches can be shared by other open source projects. 

by Owen Lansbury / 12 March 2024

The original of this video recording was first published on the FOSDEM website

Drupal has historically had no centralised product management or marketing, let alone ANY coordinated budget! For comparison, Adobe spends around USD$2.7bn annually on product development, sales and marketing for its Experience Cloud product suite. 

In the talk, I discuss Drupal's recent recognition as a Digital Public Good and the way that the Drupal community is highly motivated by providing world-class software for free to anyone who wants to use it, promoting values of freedom, inclusion, participation and empowerment. The Drupal Association recently released a manifesto that defines the Drupal project's commitment to the Open Web, but in order to fulfil this mission, Drupal needs to be successful as a product in the open market.

Since Drupal 8 was released in 2015, it has been specifically targeted at building "ambitious digital experiences." While this has resulted in an overall drop in Drupal installs as smaller sites move to SAAS platforms, the Drupal economy is robust, with an estimated USD$3 billion spent on Drupal-related projects each year.

Unlike other open source projects, Drupal doesn’t have a single company doing the majority of the code contribution. The Drupal Association has run on a budget of around $3.5m or 1/1000th of the revenue being spent on Drupal projects each year. 

This was brought into focus for the Drupal Association during COVID when the primary source of income - running DrupalCon events - required an abrupt rethink. We had to refocus on how Drupal would be both successful and sustainable in the future. This has led to us recently embarking on a new strategy, where the Drupal Association play a more direct role in both Drupal product innovation and marketing.

Enterprise customers are key to maintaining a healthy ecosystem for a CMS. Their investment flows through to the agencies building, maintaining, supporting, and hosting large-scale projects, providing consistent, repeat income that ultimately benefits our open source community in the form of stable jobs, community funding, and sponsored code contribution. 

Looking more closely at the challenges of succeeding in the enterprise market, how do you get access and awareness with key decision makers in large organisations like the CIO, CTO and, increasingly, the CMO (Chief Marketing Officer)? They are the people likely to read analyst reports from Gartner and Forrester. While Acquia features as a leader in these reports and relies heavily on Drupal for its platform, Drupal's name recognition is largely absent from these reports. 

Acquia has also had great success with their Engage events that target key decision makers, but it's been a challenge to attract a similar audience to the more community and developer-focused DrupalCon events. 

While the Drupal Association itself has historically had limited relationships with Drupal's large end users, partner agencies who rely on Drupal's open source software for their clients absolutely do have these relationships.

The Drupal Association is in a strong position to provide our agency partners with as much assistance as possible to either retain or win new enterprise clients through any playbook-style information we can provide. For example, do we have a pitch deck on hand to help an agency argue why Drupal is superior to Adobe or Sitecore? Are there pre-packaged product demos that can be consistently updated to highlight new features?

This is an area where we currently fall short in the Drupal community, with most agencies replicating efforts for every new client engagement. It's something we're starting to address with the Drupal Certified Partner program, however, if we can harness the strength of hundreds of agency salespeople pitching Drupal to their clients every day. New agencies joining a partner program need to see a clear pathway to building their teams' expertise and being able to sell Drupal to their clients to grow their businesses. The largest global digital agencies have tended to struggle with engaging with open source software communities, so bridging that gap is critical.

The other group of people we need to convince in any large organisation are the people who’ll be using our product - the developers, content editors and systems engineers. C-level decision-makers lean heavily on this group to evaluate and make recommendations about what platform they should be considering. To influence this group, our product needs to look and function like a modern piece of software, fulfil contemporary requirements or be quickly downloadable for a working demo of the software.

In terms of where we already clearly win, rapid innovation is the thing that we do very well in the open source world. Maintaining the speed of innovation, though, is an area that has been harder for Drupal as both the software and community have matured. A big philosophical hurdle we’ve faced is the notion of the Drupal Association directing budget to innovation projects when people often have an expectation that contribution is “free”. But contribution has never been free! An individual or company has always borne the cost in personal time or wages. Other big open source projects have absolutely no stigma about funding projects with actual money, such as the Linux Foundation's $160m annual funding towards projects.

The Drupal community dipped our toe into this model last year with the Pitchburgh contest, which saw $98,000 worth of projects get completed in a relatively short amount of time because they had the budget. We’re also in the process of hiring people at the Drupal Association who can facilitate innovation and remove roadblocks to contribution.

Now, all we need is the funding to scale this model up. Imagine if just 1% of the $3bn spent on Drupal-related projects each year went towards funding strategic innovation - that would be a $30m budget to work with!

Similarly, the idea that Drupal would be “marketed” as a product by the Drupal Association has never been a core competency. This is the legacy of being structured as a 501c3 not-for-profit in the USA where funds are for the “advancement of a charitable cause”. Our charitable cause is ensuring Drupal remains a Digital Public Good that supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. But if there isn't positive product awareness about Drupal in the broader market, then market share will slip and our ability to support the goals around being a Digital Public Good will suffer as a result. 

Whether we call it marketing or advocacy, we need to ensure Drupal as a product is commercially successful. We’ve had a Promote Drupal working group within the Drupal community for a number of years that has driven a range of broader marketing initiatives. The Drupal Association has now taken on an active role in this by commissioning a go-to-market strategy targeting the enterprise sector. This will be rolling out in 2024 as funding for specific marketing initiatives becomes available. 

At the cheaper end of the scale, this might include coordinating speakers at non-Drupal tech events or managing positive media coverage. At a higher budget scale, it might include Drupal-branded booths at major tech conferences, like the one we recently built for Web Summit in Lisbon, or running global campaigns to build Drupal product awareness. 

Our other huge advantage as an open source community is the strength and depth of our developer pool. We do encounter a perception issue when it comes to attracting younger developers to our platforms because there are so many shiny new things to play with. Building robust outreach, training, mentoring, certification and professional pathways is the key to maintaining a sustainable developer pool as those of us with 20+ years of experience head towards the other side of middle age.

So, where can you start to help with all of this? 

  1. If you're a professional services company that relies on Drupal for your business, get involved with the Drupal Certified Partner program. This is the fastest way to both contribute to Drupal's innovation as a product and play a direct role in driving adoption.

  2. If you rely on Drupal as your organization's CMS software, become a Supporting Partner and help fund Drupal's sustainability. 

  3. If you're passionate about maintaining the Open Web, the Drupal Association can accept your philanthropic donation

  4. Send your team members to DrupalCon or a regional DrupalCamp to connect with the community.

This level of engagement will help Drupal maintain its status as the platform of choice for large-scale projects.

Liip: Throwback to Drupal Mountain Camp 2024

Mon, 2024-03-11 19:00

Against the backdrop of snow-capped peaks and invigorating alpine air, attendees immersed themselves in a whirlwind of workshops, discussions, and outdoor activities showcasing the vibrant spirit of open-source technology and the beauty of the Swiss mountains.

We took this opportunity to ask Josef Kruckenberg, Product Owner at Liip and co-organiser of the Drupal Mountain Camp, a few questions.

Josef Kruckenberg, Product Owner at Liip and co-organiser of the Drupal Mountain Camp ©Patrick Itten

What are the goals of the Drupal Mountain Camp?

The Drupal Mountain Camp brings together experts and newcomers in web development to share their knowledge of creating interactive websites using Drupal and related web technologies. We are committed to uniting a diverse crowd from different disciplines, such as developers, designers, project managers, agency and community leaders.

The main highlights include:

  • Pre-conference with skiing, snowboarding and co-working in Davos in the Swiss Alps
  • 3 keynotes on headless CMS, open-source funding and personal development
  • 3 days with workshops, sessions and exchanges around the open-source CMS Drupal

What is your involvement in this, also as a Liiper?

As Drupal Community Coordinator at Liip, Jens Vranckx and I are part of the organising team that makes the Drupal Mountain Camp happen. For this year's edition, I have been focusing on recruiting keynote speakers and inviting speakers from other countries to provide a rich and diverse line-up. I also coordinate with our marketing team, coordinate some logistics at the venue, encourage Liipers to speak, and have fun taking pictures of the event.

In our workshop, Drupal for End Users, Jonathan Noack and I compared the different ways of creating landing pages with Drupal and allowed the audience to test blökkli, our interactive, open-source page-building solution.

As a board member of the Drupal Switzerland association, I’m also organising a Drupal Local Association Updates session that acts as an exchange format for open-source leaders in countries like France, Belgium, and Switzerland.

Jonathan Noack presenting blökkli ©Patrick Itten

Which speech inspired you the most and why?

I especially enjoyed Tearyne Almandarez's talk about grit and personal development. It reminded me of how I dealt with difficult challenges in my career, how imposter syndrome can hold one back and how important it is to find clarity about where you want to go, especially if that means you have to go outside of your comfort.

What outcomes would you like to share following this edition?

The Swiss and international Drupal community had a lot to share within the days of the mountain camp.

It's inspiring to see the multitude of approaches to solve key problems, such as interactive page building with Drupal.

I'm proud of the Liip team for contributing substantially to open-source by sponsoring and co-organising Drupal Mountain Camp and sharing our knowledge in many sessions.

Conference of Jutta Horstmann ©Patrick Itten

What are the next challenges?

The Drupal Mountain Camp is all about bringing people together. The organisers will get together, do a retrospective and get ready for the next iteration. What can we do to make it more accessible? Will we do it as usual in Davos? We had a lot of good discussions already at the conference, so I’m looking forward to seeing where we take the organisation next.

For Liip, we will continue investing highly in the open-source and Drupal community. We are excited to see how the community will use blökkli and what they contribute back to it.

The Drop Times: Fostering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Drupal Community

Mon, 2024-03-11 09:04

As we weave through the ups and downs of the evolutionary tides of technology, it's imperative to anchor ourselves in the values that foster an inclusive, equitable, and diverse environment. The essence of the Drupal community lies not just in our exceptional technical prowess but in the collective spirit that champions Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). This isn't merely a buzzword; it's the bedrock of innovation, creativity, and growth. 

As Mahatma Gandhi once said,

"Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization." 

Let us embrace this wisdom as we continue to build not just extraordinary products but also a community that reflects the world's vast and vibrant tapestry.

In this journey towards a more inclusive community, we must recognize that DEI is not the responsibility of a select few but a commitment from all of us. Whether you are a developer, stakeholder, or a member of the wider public, your voice matters. Your experiences, perspectives, and contributions shape our community's very fabric. Let's pledge to listen, learn, and act with empathy and understanding. Together, we can create a space that not only drives technological advancement but also mirrors the diverse world we live in.

Last week, celebrating Women's Day, TDT spotlighted notable quotes from women in the Drupal community, sharing their valuable insights and messages with fellow Drupalers. Additionally, the TDT released a special feature authored by Alka Elizabeth titled "Inspiring Inclusion: Celebrating the Women in Drupal | #1", emphasizing the importance of fostering inclusivity. In the article, Fei Lauren notes that,

One major problem is that we talk about DEI too abstractly instead of looking at data to identify problems – often, the data isn't even there. And when data is available, too often we talk about solutions without asking the individuals themselves what they need. We should learn to think about everything we do through the lens of DEI, but if we really want to drive change, we need to learn how to ask the right questions.

Please let us know if any women in the Drupal Community have inspired you and would like us to know and help us spread the word about them. Please share your insights with us at editor@thedroptimes.com. Also, part two will be out soon, so stay tuned.

Now, let's shift the focus and explore some of the latest news stories and articles we covered last week.

ComputerMinds.co.uk: Webform Protected Downloads

Mon, 2024-03-11 06:58

I recently produced the first release of the Webform Protected Downloads module that is compatible with Drupal 10. It provides the ability for sites to have 'gated' content which users can download once they have filled out a form for their details. This can convert engaged visitors into leads, set up licenses for customers, or simply validate a user for access to a file. Put simply, as the project's description says, this module could be useful to you if:

  • You want to offer some files for download to either anonymous or registered users
  • You don't want those files to be publicly accessible
  • You want to collect some data before granting access to the files
  • You want to be sure that the user gives a valid email address

One of our clients recently came to us with requirements along these lines for their Drupal 10 site, so I went out looking for suitable solutions. There are several similar modules, but this was the only one that fit these specific needs:

  1. There should be no way for the public to access the files without completing the webform.
  2. There could be more than one file to provide access to from a webform.
  3. The file(s) should be downloaded from the website rather than sent by email.

We had used the module on an old Drupal 7 site a long time ago, but there hadn't been any work on it for a few years and there was no release compatible with Drupal 10. However, development had started in a branch that had been automatically opened up to new maintainers. This was a great example of how that process can help the community keep modules up-to-date and secure with little fuss. All I had to do was confirm a few details myself, and within a few hours I had access to update the project. Of course, I'm building upon the great work that has been done by the previous maintainers - and in this case, Timotej Lovrecic especially, who had created an initial fork on GitHub that was compatible with Drupal 8.

Now that we have a version to use with Drupal 10; let me introduce you to how to use it! I'll assume you can already download and install the module

Screenshot of the handler settings (click image for full size)

When you configure the settings of a webform, you can set up 'handlers'. Emails sent to users or administrators are probably the most common sort of handler, so the tab to configure these under Webform's 'Settings' page is labelled 'Emails / Handlers'. Add a handler, and choose the 'Webform protected download' type in the popup.

From here you can control what amount of verification you want to apply to the download link (such as whether you want to restrict it to the user that submits the form or not), whether the link should only work once, or expire after some time. The file to protect can be uploaded at the bottom of the form. 

Once you've configured and saved your handler, the next step is to use tokens to set how a user receives their link. These could go in an email - in which case configure an email handler, or a confirmation message/page - which can be set from the 'Confirmation' tab of the Webform's 'Settings' page.

In either case, the token to use takes the format: [webform_submission:protected_download_url:my_handler_id]. (If you only have one protected download, you can skip that last part off so it is just [webform_submission:protected_download_url].) The handler ID should be the 'machine name' from your handler settings, which is also shown in a column in the list of handlers. The token will be replaced with the user's unique download URL, so you may wish to use it directly within a plain-text email, or as a link destination in a confirmation message (which is usually HTML).

Example of using a download token for a link within the confirmation message

With that token in the right place, when your guest completes the webform, they'll now receive the link to download the file they wanted - and you'll have what you wanted in return.

Let me know how you get on. Your feedback is welcome in the comments below or in the Webform Protected Downloads module's issue queue!

Drupal Association blog: Meet Imre, empowering Drupal's growth as a board member of the Drupal Association

Sun, 2024-03-10 09:30

We're delighted to introduce Imre Gmelig Meijling, one of the newest members elected in October of the Drupal Association Board. Imre, CEO at React Online Digital Agency in The Netherlands, brings a wealth of digital experience from roles at organizations like the United Nations World Food Programme, Disney, and Port of Rotterdam.

Imre is not only a member of the Drupal Association Board of Directors but also serves as an executive member on the DrupalCon Europe Advisory Committee. Previously, he chaired the Dutch Drupal Association, expanding marketing efforts and establishing a successful Drupal Partner Program. Imre played a key role in launching drupal.nl, a community website used by several countries. He co-created the Splash Awards and led Drupaljam, a Dutch Drupal event with almost 500 attendees. In 2023, Imre joined the Drupal Business Survey.

As a recent board member, Imre shares insights on this exciting journey:

What are you most excited about when it comes to joining the Drupal Association board?
I am very excited about joining the Drupal Association Board and contributing with insights and perspectives from the digital business market in Europe. Drupal has a strong market position with many opportunities for the coming years. I look forward to supporting the marketing team in their expanding efforts. I am particularly proud and excited to be part of an inclusive global community. Being part of an inclusive global community and supporting the Open Web Manifesto aligns closely with my personal values.

What do you hope to accomplish during your time on the board?
I aim to help expand Drupal's marketing outreach aiming for more wonderful brands and organizations adopting Drupal and attracting new talent to get involved with Drupal. I am also looking forward to establishing and sustaining relationships between Europe and other regions with the Drupal Association and finding ways to work even more closely together.

What specific skill or perspective do you contribute to the board?
Being part of an inclusive global community and supporting the Open Web Manifesto aligns closely with my personal values. Working with Drupal at various digital agencies in Europe, I support the growth of Drupal from a business-perspective, but having a technical background, I know the strength of the Drupal community has and can be for brands. Having been in both worlds for a long time, I will help and make sure we bring them together.

I was Chair of the Board for the Dutch Drupal Association, in which time a successful Dutch Partner Program was launched. Also, marketing and advertising on mainstream media was taking off during that time. I was also involved in the design and setup of the Dutch Drupal website, which is now open source. I co-founded the Splash Awards and I am Executive Member of the DrupalCon Europe Community Advisory Committee. I will share all of my experiences where I can. 

How has Drupal impacted your life or career?
It's part of my life, both professional as well as personal, for over 16 years.

Tell us something that the Drupal community might not know about you.
I own my own digital agency in The Netherlands, React Online. I began my career as a UX designer and front end developer for Lotus Notes applications, called 'groupware' at the time, a long gone predecessor to the social collaboration platforms that we now know well. Interestingly, my birthday is on January 15, just like Drupal!

Share a favorite quote or piece of advice that has inspired you.
A true leader is not one with the most followers, but one who makes the most leaders out of others. A true master is not the one with the most students, but one who makes masters out of others.

We can't wait to experience the incredible contributions Imre will make during his time on the Drupal Association Board. Thank you, Imre, for dedicating yourself to serving the Drupal community through your board work! Connect with Imre on LinkedIn.

The Drupal Association Board of Directors comprises 12 members, with nine nominated for staggered 3-year terms, two elected by the Drupal Association members, and one reserved for the Drupal Project Founder, Dries Buyteart. The Board meets twice in person and four times virtually annually, overseeing policy establishment, executive director management, budget approval, financial reports, and participation in fundraising efforts.

Aten Design Group: Drupal Web Projects Leveled Up with Mercury Editor

Fri, 2024-03-08 15:39
Drupal Web Projects Leveled Up with Mercury Editor jenna Fri, 03/08/2024 - 13:39 Mercury Editor Process Drupal

Not all choices are created equal. On a web development project, leaders are faced with thousands of decisions, but only a handful of those fundamentally impact the entire project and post-launch success of the website. As a digital project manager, I serve clients by focusing their attention on highly impactful choices and offering informed guidance to achieve their goals. One key choice on every Drupal website redesign project is how editors will build pages on the new website, and my consistent guidance is to go with Mercury Editor.

What is Mercury Editor?

Mercury Editor is a drag-and-drop content editing module that we built for Drupal 9 and 10 websites. It allows Drupal site managers the freedom to implement anything from standardized, form-like content types to blank canvas pages with dozens of component options.

Video file Video demonstration of publishing content on a Drupal websiteWhy is Mercury Editor the best option for Drupal projects? What you see is what you get

Have you ever had to work through sheer guesswork? Trying to envision in your mind’s eye how something is going to line up, but never able to see it happening in real time? If you manage content in a Drupal site, the answer is probably yes! Mercury Editor finally gives editors a way to see what they’re building as they’re building it, on both desktop and mobile scales. Honestly, if the list ended here, it would still be enough for Mercury to be my go-to recommendation.

It’s easy to learn

Clients commonly underestimate how much effort is required to get their new site’s content ready for launch – it is truly a second major project running in parallel to the site build itself. Not only does it take time for a team to create, translate, and build dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of pages of content, but it also asks the client team to learn a new page-building tool at the same time.

Mercury Editor relieves this pressure simply by being easy to learn. Once you see how to add any new component, that immediately scales up to any other component on any content type. Using the plus button to add new components or dragging them around the page just makes sense. Choosing an intuitive tool means that instead of struggling to know how to do their important work before launch, they can just focus on doing it.

It creates a sustainable post-launch site

Mercury has little-to-no ongoing maintenance needs, no licensing fees or restrictions, no limits on pages created, and it removes the need for developers to help make new pages or page edits down the road. A single, non-technical user can realistically maintain an entire website’s content after a short primer on how to use Mercury.

Flexible or formulaic – it supports the right level of complexity for you

A robust technical application like Drupal needs a page-building tool that can hang with it. Mercury offers a lot of knobs we can dial up or down to give different teams the level of flexibility that is right for them. Want to avoid decision paralysis or differing layouts across similar types of content? Go simpler. Want to give more creative freedom to editors? Expand the options. Mercury can do both within a single design philosophy.

For large teams that want a consistent look across editors, Mercury Editor allows us to:

  • create predefined layout templates as an instant starting point for editors
  • dial back on multi-column layout options
  • restrict which components can be placed on a content type

For small teams that want more creative freedom, Mercury allows us to:

  • create different components for use in different contexts
  • let editors select rules and filters for dynamic components within the interface without needing a developer
  • offer complex section and multi-column options
  • use components in unexpected ways without breaking the look and feel of the site
Streamline your Drupal project with Aten

I’m a project manager. I know how choices impact the time, budget, and success of a website redesign project. Choosing a page-building tool that the Aten team is intimately familiar with is going to save your project time and money and will result in a design that leans into the tool used to implement it in the end.

Our team speaks Mercury – Aten’s clients benefit from our team’s experience working with this Drupal editor, and they begin to learn the editing experience themselves early in the project. Our design team knows what Mercury can do and how to create the best post-launch editor experience from the very first conversation of the project.

It’s a reflection of Aten’s values

Values matter to our clients, and they matter to us. My colleague Kathryn Sutton spoke about Aten’s organizational values in a recent webinar. Mercury Editor is another manifestation of those values in tangible, product form. It obviously embodies values like creative, productive, and collaborative. A tool that enables creative page editors to build to their vision is a natural, almost inevitable, conclusion to Aten’s core values.

What may be less obvious at first glance is how Mercury is shaped by other values like trustworthy and thoughtful. Mercury Editor is not just a tool but a commitment from Aten to the Drupal community – to support and grow Mercury Editor for years to come, with plans through Drupal 12 and beyond. By adopting this module, you adopt the assurance that we have your back.

We are not mercurial when it comes to Mercury. It matters to us, we stand behind it, and we invest heavily in its accessibility, reliability, and constant improvement.

As for the final Aten value, eager? We made Mercury Editor, and we would love to make it work for you. Get in touch about your next Drupal project, and we’ll make it happen.

Drupal Association blog: Contributor guide: Maximizing Impactful Contributions

Fri, 2024-03-08 09:48

As I have mentioned in the past, many people and companies have communicated to me in the past their willingness to know how they could make their contribution more impactful to Drupal and the Drupal association. The Bounty program has proved success, and we are exploring and getting new ideas to extend it. However we don't want to stop here.

That’s why we are publishing today this list of strategic initiatives, and list of issues and modules where your contribution should be more impactful.

Additionally we may want at some point to grant extra credits to some those issues. For now, if you are not sure where to contribute but you want to make sure that your contribution makes a difference, have a look at this list and take your pick. 

And have in mind that this is a work in progress or a living document. Some sections will need proposals that we will start populating after internal review, and depending on the feedback received on the usefulness of this document.

Strategic Initiatives

Strategic initiatives are where some of the most important innovations in Drupal happen. These are often big picture ideas to add major new features to Drupal that range from improving major apis, to adding better page building, to improving the total cost of ownership by adding quality of life features, and much more. 

Participating in a strategic initiative can be challenging but also rewarding. It is not a place for a drive-by contribution - it's a place to join if you have dedicated time to devote, are willing to listen and learn from the existing contributors and initiative leads before you jump in, and have a strong background in related areas.

Find here more information about the current Strategic Initiatives.

Issues

Contributing to individual issues can be less of a long-term commitment than participating in Strategic Initiatives, but it can also be overwhelming because of the sheer number of issues on Drupal.org. It's also very important to follow the issue etiquette guidelines when contributing to issues. Most of all - listen to and respect the project maintainer and their guidance when contributing to issues on their project. It's better to help solve existing issues to show your willingness to help before opening any new ones.

Modules and projects

Drupal is built on the back of a powerful ecosystem of extensions, modules, themes, distributions, etc. These extensions are crucial for supporting the vast variety of industry use cases that Drupal is used for, and oftentimes some of the most important innovations in Drupal begin as contributed extensions. 

These are just a few projects that could use contribution support to help advance Drupal.

Top used patches
  • Would it be amazing to have a list of most used patches, and propose those as priorities to get fixed? We are working on extracting that list. COMING SOON
  • Would you like to propose a patch or patches on this section? Send me your suggestions and why it would make a difference to: alex.moreno@association.drupal.org
Easy picks

Issues that are easy to fix or just need a little push

Ideas/others?

Contact me: alex.moreno@association.drupal.org

Educational resources for contribution

We offer some detailed resources that we recommend everyone review when learning to first contribute: 

Resource #1: A video introduction to contribution:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu7ND0JT-8A

Resource #2: A slide deck which goes into greater depth about contribution:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1jvU0-9Fd4p1Bla67x9rGALyE7anmzjhQ4vPUbf4SGhk/edit 

Resource #3: The First Time Contributors Workshop from DrupalCon Global:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K0uIgKaVNQ

Avoid contribution behavior that seems motivated just to 'game the system'

It's unfortunate, but we do sometimes see contributors who appear and disappear on single issues on small, repetitive tasks that could just as easily be handled by automated tools. These issues are generally not eligible for credit anyway, and often cause frustration for Project Maintainers. It's not good for you or your company's reputation to contribute in this way.

Resource #4: Abuse of the credit system

These guidelines help clarify what kinds of contributions are not considered acceptable for marketplace credit.

https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/docs/marketplace/abuse-of-the-contribution-credit-system

We did see some recent examples of issues being opened for individual phpcs issues, when we prefer to see all phpcs issues fixed in a single issue, for example.
