LN Webworks: Drupal Configuration Synchronization: A Simplified Guide
When you're adding a new feature, like connecting your contact form to Mailchimp, on your Drupal website, you'll want to make sure it works the same way when you move it from one stage to another. Luckily, Drupal has a handy feature called Configuration Synchronization for this.
This feature helps you easily export and import all the settings and setup between different copies of your Drupal website. In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at how Configuration Synchronization works and some tips for using it effectively. We will also understand the best ways to make sure your Drupal development stays consistent across different environments.
Gábor Hojtsy: This is how I update my Drupal modules to Drupal 11 with only GitLab and drupal.org in my browser!
Drupal's adoption of GitLab lead to five times faster test runtimes but for this post I will look at how it makes it much easier to update modules to a new major version. It is now possible to fully use the user interface of drupal.org and drupal.org's GitLab features to make modules compatible and even make new releases available. I'll use one of my modules as an example: Upgrade Rector. Let's walk through what I did.

During the Drupal 7 era, we created tutorials on a variety of topics such as Views, Drush, Form API, and theming. When Drupal 8 was released, we updated this content for Drupal 8, 9, and 10. The significant changes between Drupal 7 and modern versions necessitated maintaining two versions of each tutorial on our site: one for legacy Drupal and another for modern Drupal.
Today, we still maintain both versions. The use of our legacy Drupal content has steadily decreased, yet it still has a substantial presence in search results. This often leads to confusion, especially when members trying to learn about features in modern Drupal find themselves on a legacy Drupal tutorial.
In this article, Joe Shindelar writes about his coding experiments to tune search results on Drupalize.Me to favor Drupal 10 content, and demote Drupal 7 content.

I attended my first DrupalCon in 2010 in San Francisco, and since then have attended six more in the US and two in Europe. Many elements stay the same, and are a welcome and treasured part of the DrupalCon experience: The DriesNote, the group picture, the keynotes, the BOFs, the sessions and trainings and parties and hallway conversation, on and on. While you can look forward to more of those this year, here are a few additional features that have been added this year to Drupalcon Portland 2024:
Marketing TrackRecognizing the value that effective marketing brings to Drupal websites, DrupalCon 2024 will feature a substantial amount of content specifically targeted to marketers. The Marketing Track features a dozen sessions of particular interest to CMOs and other marketing professionals, including presentations about AI, Personalization, Content Strategy, and multi-channel engagement. Stay tuned for more information about content of particular interest to CMOs.
Extended Welcoming PartyEverybody likes a party, and this year the opening reception is two full hours. You can look forward to dancing to the robot DJ on a light-up dance floor, recording yourself in the 360 photobooth, playing with a giant Lite Brite, and enjoying free food and drink.
Nonprofit SummitIt’s back! After a short break, the Nonprofit Summit returns to DrupalCon, connecting Drupal users from the Nonprofit sector with each other. Facilitated discussions, round table group sessions, and special pricing for the conference and summit are just a few of the features that will help deliver the power of Drupal to one of our most important communities.
Enhanced focus on studentsDrupal needs to continuously attract new people. Recognizing this, DrupalCon 2024 is making extra efforts to reach out to students. Targeted advertising to local student communities, focusing on the career-enhancing opportunities of the Drupalcon job fair, mentorship, resume help, and a special student discount price of only $50, job fair, mentorship, and resume help are a few of the enhancements that are specifically aimed at students.
Community-designed DrupalCon T-shirtNew this year, the Drupal Association ran a design contest for the official DrupalCon Portland t-shirt. Many great entries were received, and the winning design will be announced at DrupalCon, and available on the free attendee T-shirt.
As you can see, there are lots of new reasons to join the Drupal community in Portland this May. We can’t wait to see you, so register here!
