Drupal 7 is approaching its end of life. Website owners and administrators must be aware of the important changes to stay updated. In a recent announcement, the Drupal Security Team provided important updates regarding the end-of-life date and changes to the support for Drupal 7.

 

Here are the recent changes related to Drupal 

Despite being an older version, Drupal 7 continues to be utilized by many websites around the world. The end of Drupal 7 necessitates website owners to migrate to a newer version for continued security, stability, and feature enhancements.

1. Drupal 7 End-of-Life Date and Support Changes:

Drupal 7's end-of-life has been extended until January 5, 2025. However, this extension marks the final one. The Drupal Security Team has adjusted the level of support provided, affecting security advisories and issue resolution for Drupal 7.

If you create an entity reference or list field, you will notice the “Check boxes/radio buttons” widget on the “Manage form display” page. How do you switch between checkboxes or radio buttons? Because the widget has no settings to choose the form element. Drupal automatically switches between the elements depending on the “Number of values” option on the “Field settings” page.

To present his case, Elliott Mower first delivered a brief history on the way personas came to be. That story, like many, begins with a person who saw a problem and did something to improve it.

DrupalCon Pittsburgh 2023 showcased the wisdom and inspiration shared by community member. The 'Drop Tops' covered topics such as Drupal's reach, connecting with the people behind the browser, promoting women in Drupal, supporting first-time contributors, celebrating diversity, community engagement activities, and fostering a culture of psychological safety, particularly in relation to neurodiversity in the workforce.

Even before its official release in December 2022, Drupal 10 became the talk of the town. One of the major reasons behind the buzz it created and continues to create even today is the presence of CKEditor 5. It is a cutting-edge JavaScript-rich text editor that possesses MVC architecture, virtual DOM, and a custom data model. On top of it, the text editor is enriched with an incredible UI and phenomenal UX which empowers users to manage media and tables seamlessly. They can also leverage the power of auto-formatting and other splendid features to create and edit engaging content.

As Drupal already enjoys the stature of being a cutting-edge content management system, its combination with CKEditor 5 has resulted in a top-notch digital experience platform. Here, we’ll take a deep plunge into the unfathomable potential of the powerful duo: CKEditor 5 and Drupal 10.

DrupalCon Pittsburgh was held from June 5 to 9.  We were there to promote our work, meet with fellow Drupalists from around the country and beyond, and put an ear to the ground for news on all things Drupal. Pittsburgh is a truly great city and was one of the more memorable DrupalCon host locations in recent history. The David L. Lawrence Convention Center was a superb choice of venue for the event, and as usual the agency dinner was excellent. As for the sessions and conversations, much of it pointed to a future for Drupal that is very much in line with the work we’ve been doing of late at Chapter Three.

Today we are talking about Drupal Content Modeling with our hosts.

"Your playing small does not serve the world." - Marianne Williamson.

The stars glitter like celestial jewels in the vast expanse of the night sky, captivating our imaginations and filling us with a sense of wonder. Each one holds a unique brilliance, radiating light that guides us through the darkness. Similarly, within each of us, there exists a powerful light, a luminosity waiting to be unleashed. It is the light of our potential, our dreams, and our ability to inspire others. As Marianne Williamson eloquently said, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

Often, we find ourselves tethered by self-doubt and fear, hesitant to embrace our true potential. But what if we dared to break free from those chains? What if we dared to embrace our inner radiance, igniting the star power that resides within?

The journey towards self-realization begins with acknowledging that we possess an innate brilliance. Just as stars have their distinct glow, we, too, have unique gifts, talents, and passions waiting to be nurtured and shared with the world. Each of us holds within us the power to create, heal, and transform lives.

However, it is not enough to recognize our light; we must also cultivate and nourish it. Just as stars are formed from the fusion of cosmic elements, we can unlock our full potential through self-discovery, growth, and continuous learning. Embracing our strengths and weaknesses, and embarking on a journey of personal development, empowers us to shine ever brighter.

In the digital era, where the online realm is teeming with possibilities, Drupal stands as a guiding star, empowering individuals and organizations to transform their visions into reality. Drupal, an open-source content management system (CMS), harnesses the power of technology to amplify our brilliance on the web.

Drupal's vibrant community is a galaxy of passionate contributors who collaborate and share their knowledge, propelling the platform forward. Through their collective brilliance, Drupal evolves and adapts to the ever-changing digital landscape. The community's dedication to open-source principles ensures that Drupal remains accessible and continuously improves, fostering a culture of learning and growth.
