I recently began trying to learn more about Solr search. I found old instructions on getting Solr to work with Drupal 8 locally using Lando. After getting that working I wanted to see if I could do the same thing with Backdrop. It turns out that it isn't that different. Come learn how to setup Solr search to begin experimenting and learning more.
Recipes are a type of module that primarily adds configuration and content without necessarily adding features that your site does not already have. Examples of recipes are:
Some issues we will talk about:
Wrap up session.
Let's discuss marketing strategies for Backdrop CMS! While a Backdrop upgrade from Drupal 7 represents a potentially dramatic cost savings for countless organizations, pitching the idea successfully can be tricky. Whether due to Drupal brand allegiance, opinions around supportability and longevity, popularity among developers, or a simple feature comparison with other options like Drupal 9 — some potential clients express concerns about Backdrop versus other platforms with greater market share.
This is our opening session when we'll talk about:
Let's talk about the health of the contrib community in Backdrop CMS.
... that is the question!
This is an intermediate discussion for those who have some experience of managing Backdrop or Drupal with command line tools such as bee, brush and/or drush. It is NOT about command line tools for beginners.
There are three command line tools to support the installation and management of Backdrop websites:
Bee, formerly knows as Backdrop Console is inspired by drush and is under active development
Brush, is no longer being maintained in favour of bee
There are over 900 contributed projects in the Backdrop CMS contrib space on Github, not all of which have official releases on BackdropCMS.org.
Please, post a comment if you have a contrib project you would like to share. Either a project you maintain or just one that you love to use and want to share with others.
Each person will have 5-10 minutes per project.
This is very informal. You can demo a module on a live site, a demo site, or just describe the module. Anything goes.
I used feeds to add my initial content in bulk. Now I need to add a lot MORE data content, and also update the existing data. I know when I migrate my other D7 sites, importing content is going to be important.
I have made mistakes with trial-and-error feeds. Losing data out of fields because a column was forgotten, and HTML changing. I'm especially struggling to export all existing fields of a content type to work from, in terms of updating.
