Crafting the digital landscape has never been more intuitive than with Drupal's Entity API. Developers wield the power to forge bespoke content types and intricately weave data relationships for these types, all effortlessly.

This is a refresh of an old article I wrote in my previous life as a Technical Solutions Manager in Acquia. The old approach uses Drush, while the 2024 version is much faster to set up and easy to use through the Drupal UI.

As of PHP 8.1, the PHP language has native support for attributes that are compatible with Drupal’s plugin system use case. As a result, Drupal will transition from the use of annotations to PHP attributes, to supply metadata and configuration for plugins. This will require developers to learn the new PHP attributes syntax, and update their existing code to use it. For now Drupal will continue to support both annotations and attributes. But the proverbial clock is ticking. So let’s take a look at how we got here, and what you’ll need to do to update your code for future versions of Drupal.

I’ve found a new path forward with dependency patch resolution. A new beta release of Composer Patches is available with the functionality re-added.

For your convenience, I have tagged Composer Patches 2.0.0-beta2. Please test this in your projects and let me know how it goes. I’d like to tag 2.0.0 within the next 90 days, so your feedback is critical.

To fulfill our mission and to better support the availability of Drupal, the Drupal Association is re-orienting the Drupal Certified Partner program to recognize and highlight those firms who represent the “small number of contributors” that “are critical to the health and future well-being” of Drupal. In other words, we’re focusing the Drupal Certified Partner program on “Makers.”

...

Starting on April 1, 2024, the Drupal Certified Partner program will support those companies who are committed to supporting the Drupal Project and the Drupal Community with the following improvements:

  • The Drupal Marketplace on Drupal.org will be reserved solely for Makers, known as Drupal Certified Partners. The Marketplace will be branded as the global list of “Makers” and recommended by the Drupal Association and will only list Drupal Certified Partners in active status.
  • Becoming and maintaining certification as a Drupal Certified Partner will require at least 150 annual credits and complete a short annual business survey.
  • Companies will be awarded a tier badge (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Top Tier), based solely on their credits (see below).
  • Position on the Marketplace will be largely determined by credits (this is “largely” and not “solely” because we plan on providing Marketplace advantages to those companies that sponsor local camps).
  • An annual financial contribution will be required of all Drupal Certified Partners based on company size and measured by number of employees and full time contractors (see below). The intent is that this contribution be nominal to the size of the organization. These funds are used to maintain the Drupal infrastructure, a core responsibility of the Drupal Association, as well as supporting the Drupal Community.
  • Many benefits conferred by the Drupal Association will be limited to Drupal Certified Partners. These benefits are being updated and will be published before the end of the first quarter of 2024.
  • The Supporting Partner program will be re-oriented to recognize those companies who are not in the business of selling Drupal services, but want to contribute to the project and the community.

The company’s goal was to build a one-stop storefront with a catalog of all its integration products (APIs, web services, events, and extracts) and self-service capabilities for external and internal users.

After publishing my post with statistics about #CMS used on official city websites, I got a lot of messages about providing the same data for the USA 🤠.

I researched 333 largest cities in the USA. It seems that most of them are built on #Granicus (22.8%, also called #OpenCities) and #CivicPlus (22.5%). In third place is #Drupal 💧 (10.2%). Together with #Wordpress and #Joomla it gets 20.1% of the pie. TYPO3 was not detected at all.

Drupal is used by: Los Angeles, San Diego, Austin, San Francisco, Nashville, Washington D.C., Boston, Portland, Louisville, Detroit and 24 other cities 🚀.

Using single sign-on for Drupal.org identity management has been a long term goal of the Drupal Association, as it offers a number of benefits:

  • We can more easily manage authentication across our upgraded Drupal 10 sites, and our legacy Drupal 7 sites while we migrate all of our Drupal.org properties.
  • We can begin to introduce 'social login' allowing new users to create their Drupal.org accounts using external identities they already have - making it easier to jump straight in to contribution, as one example.
  • Once we establish the appropriate terms of service, we can begin to allow Drupal.org users to use their identity to login to external community sites, such as Drupal Camp websites, and use that to federate data back to Drupal.org.
