Drupal

DrupalCon Global took place between July 14-17 2020. The first ever, online DrupalCon took place with more than 2000 attendees from all over the world. Here is a short recap about how we enjoyed it!
 

DrupalCon Global is taking place this week. This year the event is virtual and therefore it's possible for everyone to take part without traveling! The DrupalCon conferences have the main purpose of bringing everyone together to share thought leadership around digital open source, so people can learn from each other and be part of the Drupal community.

At 1xINTERNET we are specialized in Drupal Distributions. We have built several distributions for clients, that allow to operate multiple websites on the same code basis. The hard part is not to create a distribution, but to allow project specific changes, and still being able to update. In this blog post we show what approaches exist and how we run updates.

Last weekend all of our employees took take part in the Drupal 9 porting weekend. The event was an organized to activate as many developers as possible to contribute to Drupal. For us at 1xINTERNET it turned out to be a great experience. Feeling the team spirit both within the team and the Drupal community, deeply affected us as a group and on a personal level.

During Drupal 9 porting weekend we updated the contributed module Image Edit. The module allows to edit images in place on Drupal 8 and Drupal 9 websites. The module was originally developed for a client. While making the module ready for Drupal 9, we fixed some issues and released the first stable version.

Next weekend, we at 1xINTERNET our whole company will take part in the Drupal 9 porting weekend. 1xINTERNET will not be focusing on any other projects these days, “only” working on Drupal 9. Our aim is to update all of our projects so that they are compatible for Drupal 9.

1xINTERNET has always been a driving force when it comes to supporting the Drupal project and the Drupal Association, and therefore we didn’t think twice about taking part. Our whole team is deeply dedicated and I'm so proud of our employees at 1xINTERNET that also donated individually to the project.

A lot of companies are still on Drupal 7, even though Drupal 8 has been around and stable for many years now. This post hopes to make things clearer and also show why you should strongly consider having the migration from drupal 7 to 8 as part of your overall strategy for 2020.

Welcome to 2020! At 1xINTERNET we are really looking forward to an exciting year ahead. 

Last year we launched more than 20 new webprojects based on Drupal 8 and/or React. Most of the projects have one thing in common: they combine standard Drupal server-side rendering with client side React applications. This is what is sometimes referred to as progressive decoupling. Only a few applications we have built in 2019 are completely headless.
