Drupal Advent Calendar day 23 - Single Directory Components james Sat, 12/23/2023 - 07:00

For the penultimate door of the Drupal Advent Calendar, we are joined by Mike Herchel (mherchel) to tell the amazing story of bringing Single Directory Components into Drupal Core.

How we brought SDC into Drupal Core (and how you can too!)

Single Directory Components (SDC) started out as a rough idea in early 2022, had its first contrib release in March 2022, was proposed to go into core in October 2022, and was committed to core just 6(ish) months later! In the general schedule of Drupal core development, this was a light speed!

In this story I’ll walk through how the idea came about, and how we…

Websites are complex systems, and navigating them with assistive tools like screen readers is not an easy task. Luckily, if a website follows the accessibility guidelines, the user journey becomes much more seamless thanks to useful “road signs.” They are contained in the HTML code of accessible web pages and announced to the user by screen readers.

Delve into the genesis and growth of Drupal's most popular and most- installed Token module through an exclusive interview with its creator, Jeff Eaton. Explore the impact of the module in shaping Drupal's dynamic capabilities and its evolution over the years.

This is a comprehensive guide for the Drupal CKEditor 4 End of Life. In addition to discussing the specifics of how and when CKEditor 4 support will end, this article also offers options for secure, continued use of CKEditor 4 in Drupal 7 and Drupal 10+. From January 1, 2024 and onwards, CKEditor 4 will no longer receive open source security updates in the Drupal ecosystem, as CKEditor 4 has reached its end of life period. However, extended CKEditor 4 support will be available until the end of 2026, with an accompanying module. This allows more time for integrators before they eventually upgrade to its successor, CKEditor 5, which is a core module in Drupal 10.

Giving back while growing too: volunteering within Drupal

When I decided to go to my first Drupal event, I was scared, anxious and unsure. I decided to go outside of my comfort zone and looked up an event close to where I’d be while visiting family in the US. I am not exaggerating when I say that this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life.

I fell in love with the community then and there. There’s…
