Planet Drupal

Last year, Drupal Association has decided to take a break to consolidate and not organize an official DrupalCon Europe in 2018. Twelve community members stepped in and developed a plan to organize a DrupalCon replacement − named Drupal Europe. The final result was outstanding.

The largest DrupalCon yet took place from April 9 to April 13 in the city of music - Nashville, Tennessee. Thanks to their contributions and MD System’s Open Source contributing strategy, two of our members, Miloš and John, received a DrupalAssocation grant and represented our company at the conference. As the most important community event, DrupalCon has had much to offer.

An update on the strategy of the rising star after an exciting new release with major UX improvements and many new features.

We created a Drupal 8 distribution that will give you many powerful features and a great website for less than 5000 CHF. Order it now and go live with your website in a few weeks!

Since we released the thunderdemo.com earlier this year a lot of interesting things happened in the Thunder ecosystem. We thought that it is a good time to provide an update.

Commerce 2.x has a lot of changes in comparison to Commerce 1x. In this blogpost, we write about how those changes affected us in our project and what we did to resolve certain problems that showed up as we used Commerce 2.x for a newspaper subscription shop.

The new version of Drupal Commerce has been rewritten from scratch, learning from what worked well and what was causing problems in Commerce 1.x. In this blog post, we will focus on explaining some of the key differences we have seen so far and how they affect developers and users.

Modular architecture of the Drupal 8 media ecosystem has become a standard. If you want to build media related editorial experience modules like Entity browser, DropzoneJS and Media entity are the way to go. They can effectively handle locally hosted media, but they are not limited to that. Recently we implemented a module that integrates with the Bynder DAM and lets you use its assets directly in a Drupal 8 site.

Recently, we had to create a security report for one of our clients about their Drupal 8 project. We described how Drupal 8 protects against most common vulnerabilities and added some project specific tests to secure as good as possible that it cannot be attacked. This resulted in a document that we thought is worth to be transferred into a series of blog posts.
