Dynamic Entity Query Based on Moderation State

As part of my ongoing work on the Event Platform modules for organizing DrupalCamps and similar events, I wanted to add to the recently introduced Scheduler interface, by allowing a site builder to specify a list of workflow (content moderation) states that would be used to restrict which sessions (or other content types) to list. After, it wouldn't make sense to ask an editor to have to pick through the rejected sessions as part of the scheduling interface.

The Bootstrap framework is one of front-end developers’ greatest allies in the mission to craft visually appealing and responsive web pages. By providing a wealth of ready-made UI components and other features, Bootstrap significantly speeds up and simplifies developers’ workflows.

With Drupal’s upgrade to CKEditor 5, users can now add their own attributes or styles to the media toolbar using the new DrupalElementStyle plugin via YAML definitions …without writing a single

Speed to market is often critical for applications especially when rolling out new sites, features for an offering, or need to create campaign pages, landing pages, and other one off content that doesn't necessarily need to follow a strict template. 

The tool you use to achieve this could make or break this goal depending on your needs as well as how it is used. 

In this tutorial we aim to give you the questions you need to ask yourself when trying to decide whether using Drupal Core's Layout Builder or Acquia's Site Studio offering for your next project.

1. Cost (both upfront and maintenance)

   Acquia Site Studio is a proprietary tool provided by Acquia to our Acquia hosted customers. One license is included

The Goal

In Drupal Commerce, carts do not have order numbers. Order numbers are not set until checkout completion, when the order is placed. If the order type has been configured with a number pattern, that pattern is used to generate the order number; otherwise the order entity ID is used. As a result, when a credit card payment is added during checkout, the cart/order may not have its final Order Number yet. For some payment gateways, this is fine--only the order entity ID is needed.

Drupal 7's end of life is January 5, 2025

On February 23, 2022, we announced that we would be extending the End-of-Life for Drupal 7 until at least November 1, 2023.

Today, we are officially announcing that Drupal 7 will reach its end of life on January 5, 2025.

With this final extension, the Drupal Security Team is also adjusting the level of support provided.

This will be the final extension.

Reduced support for moderately critical Drupal 7 issues

Effective August 1, 2023, the Drupal Security Team may choose to publicly post moderately critical and less critical issues affecting Drupal 7 in the public issue queue for resolution, as long as they are not mass-exploitable. (Security risk levels defined.)

Drupal 9 and above are not affected by this change. When a security issue affects both Drupal 7 and Drupal 10, for example, the Drupal 10 security advisory may be released without a corresponding Drupal 7 fix, and the Drupal 7 issue made public at that point.

Drupal 7 branches of unsupported modules are no longer eligible for new maintainership

Community support for contributed modules will continue as it has to date. However, beginning August 1, 2023, once the Drupal 7 branch of a contributed module is marked unsupported it will not be eligible for new maintainership and will not be marked supported again. This will be true if an existing maintainer marks the module unsupported, or if the security team marks it unsupported for lack of response. If there are Drupal 7 modules that you or your clients rely on, then we strongly encourage you to adopt these modules proactively.
The Drupal security team will not issue security advisories for any unsupported libraries that Drupal 7 contributed modules rely on, such as CKEditor 4.

PHP 5.5 and below will no longer be supported on Drupal 7

Effective August 1, 2023, we will no longer support PHP versions lower than 5.6 for Drupal 7. We may issue further PSAs increasing the minimum PHP requirement any time before Drupal 7's end of life.

Security fixes will no longer be provided for Drupal 7 Windows-only issues

Effective August 1, 2023, we will no longer provide Drupal 7 security fixes for Windows-only issues. If you are running a Drupal 7 site on Windows, you should look into migrating to another operating system for hosting your site.

Drupal.org will no longer package Drupal 7 distributions

Effective August 1, 2023, Drupal.org will no longer create Drupal 7 distribution packages with Drush make files. If you need a distribution built, you can use drush make locally.

This is the final extension of Drupal 7 community support

Current support is made possible thanks to the Drupal core maintainers, the Drupal Security Team, and organizations and volunteers who contribute to Drupal 7 issues.

You can donate to support the work of the Drupal Security Team on our Security Team Donations page.

What the Drupal 7 End of Life means for you

Once Drupal 7 reaches End of Life, this means:

1. The Drupal Security Team will no longer provide support or Security Advisories for Drupal 7 core and contributed modules.
2. Security issues for Drupal 7 may be disclosed in public, and zero-days (i.e, security vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild without advance warning) may occur.
3. Drupal.org will no longer support tasks related to Drupal 7 including documentation navigation, automated testing, packaging, etc.
4. All Drupal 7-compatible releases on project pages will be flagged as not supported.
5. Some Drush functionality for Drupal 7 will stop working as the underlying Drupal.org infrastructure will be removed.
6. Drupal.org file archive packaging (tar and zip files) for Drupal 7 will be shut off.
   The archives may be removed.
7. There will be no more core commits on Drupal core 7.x.
8. Package tarballs may no longer be downloadable.
9. External vulnerability scans will flag Drupal 7 as insecure.

If you are still maintaining a Drupal 7 site, we recommend migrating to Drupal 10 before the end of life date.

Announcing the Drupal Association migration partners program

The Drupal Association is working to certify migration partners to help Drupal 7 site owners.

Certified Migration Partners will be promoted on Drupal.org, alongside a migration resource library, to any end users looking for help.

Priority will be given to past extended support vendors and top contributors.

To learn more about the Drupal 7 Certified Migration Partners visit the Drupal 7 EOL landing page.

Some believe the term "blockchain" is relevant only to cryptocurrencies and NFTs. These concepts are based on this method, but blockchain has dramatically expanded in recent years, affecting many areas, including web development. Such a decentralized algorithm is set to revolutionize the digital product development industry by reducing the risks of cybercrime, illegal access, and other fraudulent schemes. Let's discuss how blockchain affects programming today and what we should expect from this platform in the long run.
