One of the complex functions I will have to implement when moving clients form D7 to Backdrop is Maps. On D7 I use getlocations, leaflet and Open Street (not Google). I tried a dozen combinations of modules in D7, and I finally got one where everything worked together. I would love to see if this is possible in Backdrop.
You have a Backdrop site set up and designed and you've added your content, but what else do you need to consider? Many site owners who create their own sites don't really know that they might need to add other things in order for their sites to be found on the Internet for the appropriate searches, like sitemap.xml, schema.org, etc.
This discussion is intended to be about those technical things a site needs to be "complete," which mostly fall under the category of technical SEO, really includes more than that, like accessibility, etc.
Nate Lampton was the original founder of the Backdrop project and remains a core committer. Nate chairs our weekly developer meetings and will use this session to share some thoughts and facilitate a discussion on core development priorities for the next release and beyond.
Come join us for a discussion of performance problems and potential solutions in Backdrop. Whether it's frontend or backend, we would love to discuss solutions to any bottlenecks in the system.
Let's talk about using CiviCRM and Backdrop CMS together.
You've got your Backdrop CMS site installed and you're staring at the home page or dashboard: now what?
In this session we will discuss the tasks and strategies to get your site ready for visitors.
For folks coming from the Drupal world to Backdrop CMS many things are very similar and easy to understand, a few things are quite different. The layout system may be the part of Backdrop that is the most different from Drupal and that requires some time to get used to. It's based very loosely on Panels (in Drupal) but with a prettier and easier to use interface. Despite that, it does take some getting used to.
Facilitated by: Eric Vander Wal
Eric's talk is going to be on ADA (American Disabilities Act) compliance and general accessibility. Eric has been working on a number of sites with rigid ADA compliance requirements and will be taking questions and facilitating a discussion on this topic.
Eric recorded a 50 minute presentation that we will link to as soon as possible.
We recently did a survey of the most popular features that folks want to get into core. Adding support for a config recipe project type did quite well. What exactly this means is still unclear. In this session, we'll look at some experimental work that has been done and talk about a possible path forward for this idea.
* What are folks looking for in config recipes?
* How should they work?
There is an upgrade path from Drupal 7 to Backdrop CMS. An upgrade involves making changes to your existing database to make it work with Backdrop as opposed to the migration option which involves migrating your content into a completely new Backdrop site. In this discussion, we can address both options, but our focus will likely be on the upgrade path.
If you have already done an upgrade, please drop in and tell us about your experience. How did it go? What can we do to make the experience better?
