Over the past couple of years, the Drupal Community Working Group has talked about reviewing and possibly updating the existing Drupal Code of Conduct. The process has had several starts, but mainly due to contributor bandwidth hasn’t gained much traction to this point. As reported in 2019,  The current Drupal Code of Conduct was adopted in 2010 and last revised in 2014. Over the last two years, the CWG has

I was recently working with a Drupal 9 site and found some strange behaviour when saving certain types of content. The page would appear to save, but much of the content appeared to be missing. It had even failed to generate the paths for the page based on the path auto rules. Digging deeper I found the root cause of the problem was an improperly created redirect in an insert

Next month marks two years since the release of Drupal 9, and among the hundreds of thousands of site owners who have migrated, there’s a general consensus that D9 is a bit of a masterpiece with unrivaled scalability, security, and flexibility. Backed by the brainpower of a million member strong Drupal community, new modules that expand functionality are consistently being released. Along with our partners at Acquia, we’ve championed Drupal 9

After two years of mandatory shutdown due to the pandemic, DrupalCamp Spain is back. This year it’ll take place on June 3 to 5 in Zaragoza, a beautiful Spanish city. Zaragoza enjoys a privileged location in the middle valley of the Ebro River, a crossroads of natural routes (equidistant from Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Bilbao).

Starting in 2018, the physical award that is presented to the winner of the annual Aaron Winborn Award has been created by a Drupal community member who has volunteered their time and talents.

If the dramatic evolution of algorithms, hackers and attention spans has you worried sick about your website’s survival, think audit! Your Drupal website needs regular auditing to make sure your site is still healthy, SEO-friendly, secure and performing well.

If you’re responsible for auditing

DrupalCon Portland 2022 was the first in-person DrupalCon in over two years. Gathering face-to-face again (plus masks) gave us even more energy and inspiration to take so many insights about the present and the future of Drupal. Here’s our list of favourite sessions at this year’s DrupalCon, for those who couldn’t attend all sessions and those who couldn’t be at the event. If you want to dig deeper into the

In order to get an alias, if one is available, we first need the current path. In Drupal 9 we use a service for that: $current_path = \Drupal::service(‘path.current’)->getPath(); We then use the path_alias.manager service introduced in Drupal 8.8 by calling the getAliasByPath() method on it and feeding it the $current_path we got earlier. This basically does what drupal_get_path_alias() did in Drupal 7 and it replaces the legacy service path.alias_manager in older versions
