How To

Sesión acerca de las características básicas e intermedias de Backdrop, incluyendo la migración (upgrade) de Drupal 7 a Backdrop. Temas adicionales: cómo crear una comunidad en español de Backdrop, y apoyar a desarrolladores y usuarios de habla española

A practical workflow/method to make Upgrading Multiple Sites easy and reliable.

I will have some slides to show my Workflow, then open it up for comments.

I am particularly interested to hear your methods.

I'll screenshare a short demo of a project that I'm currently working on, including a peek at the back end showing how I've put things together and what the administrative experience is like for the site admins. The site makes much use of Paragraphs and the new modal administration capabilities in that module.

Given interest in Backdrop and CiviCRM (based on CiviCRM usage stats of recent months) I thought it might be worth opening a room up for conversation on that topic. I don't plan to have a big presentation but I do still have the demo site that I built for the session I did at Backdrop Live in September 2020, so I'll dust that off. The video below was recorded during that session so we don't have to redo it completely but folks can bring questions and things to share about things that were covered in that session or about the topic in general.

I work for a non-profit and we have quite a lot of websites.  I get to work with Drupal 9, Drupal 7, Backdrop, and WordPress.  We have a WordPress multisite.  Recently a discussion began about improving one of the WordPress blogs.  I wanted to see if it would work in Backdrop.

Learn how to build beautiful sites using out-of-the-box Backdrop layouts and Bootstrap 5 features. 

How one nonprofit landed on Backdrop after several false starts (including a few with Backdrop), from specifications to launch. This session is for anyone who is still debating whether to use Drupal, Backdrop, or some other CMS, or for those new to Backdrop who want to know more about how to avoid the mistakes and frustrations we made getting to launch.

There is currently an effort being made to port the Organic Groups module from Drupal 7. This is a large and complex module, but important to many sites. In this session, we'll talk about:

• What the Organic Groups module does and why it's important to the community
• The progress of the port 
• If the work is ongoing, how we can work together to expedite completion
• If the work is complete, what we learned from the experience

ProboCI is an open source platform for the testing, debugging, and collaborating on web based projects for Backdrop CMS, Drupal, Wordpress and any PHP based project. It operates on pull requests and generates specific build environments that can be scripted and standardized to provide a uniform way to do both automated and manual testing of modules and interfaces.

This session is specifically for OpenForce 2022 participants to help you get started in the Backdrop CMS issue queue, but anyone interested in contributing to Backdrop CMS is welcome. 

We will discuss:

1. How to select an issue to work on.
2. How the Backdrop CMS issue queue works.
3. How to set up your local environment.
4. Where to get assistance if you need it.
