Enhancing Drupal's Layout Builder: Introducing Layout Builder Plus

Mariano — Wed, 28 Feb 2024 14:27:39 +0000

Drupal’s Layout Builder feature has established a critical content creation and display framework in the four years since its integration into Core. Replacing older, more complex tools like Panels and Display Suite, this integration marked a significant shift towards a more user-friendly, native layout-building experience. Better yet, unlike other JavaScript-based content layout tools, LayoutBuilder retains support for Drupal’s more powerful features like views, accessibility, and multilingual, to name just a few. Despite its robustness, creating an excellent Layout Builder experience for your content editors typically requires several additional community modules. These modules add layout options, style customizations, granular permissions, content preview-ability, and, most importantly, fewer clicks to get the job done! You can see a list of Additional Modules for Layout Builder on Drupal.org. Knowing which ones to choose and how best to configure them is a challenge of its own. To help solve some of these friction-ridden experiences, Tag1 would like to formally introduce its new Layout Builder Plus Module, which dramatically helps improve Drupal’s content editor experience out of the box! ## Layout Builder Plus by Tag1 ![Animated image walking through various features of the Layout Builder Plus module.

The inside story on Drupal.org's coming support for merge requests and issue forks - Tag1 TeamTalk #022

preston — Wed, 12 Aug 2020 12:56:43 +0000

Throughout Drupal's history, contributors have rallied around Drupal.org as the single source of truth for both the code running Drupal and the infrastructure powering Drupal's issue queues, source control, and automated testing. As the Drupal Association continues on its journey to integrate GitLab features with Drupal.org, we're beginning to see the first glimpses of how Drupal contribution and issue management will evolve thanks to cutting-edge functionality like merge requests and issue forks in GitLab.

How automatic updates finally made it to Drupal

preston — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 21:26:01 +0000

Over the course of Drupal’s lengthy history, one of the most common feature requests has been automatic updates. A common complaint of Drupal site administrators, especially those who have smaller sites updated less frequently, is the frequently complex and drawn-out process required to update a Drupal site from one minor version to another. Updates can involve a difficult set of highly specific steps that challenge even the most patient among us. Indeed, many in the Drupal community simply choose to ignore the automatic e-mails generated by Drupal.org indicating the availability of a new version, and waiting can lead to compounding security vulnerabilities.
