Drupal is an amazing tool to model and manage data. From eCommerce platform; to a food magazine website; to a social network; Drupal can do it all. In the past years we've made great strides in improving the developer experience and make it easier to improve Drupal by utilizing work done by others in our ecosystem. At the same rate, competition for Drupal is growing by moving user experiences outside of the browser and building SaaS and serverless alternatives for data management for those projects. Where can we go with Drupal to keep it relevant for these new user experiences and share its strengths with others?

In this session we will discuss the much awaited feature automatic updates. We ll also discuss how you can set up automatic updates for your site to make maintenance for drupal sites easy. Attendees will be able to take away the following from this session: - Setting up Automatic updates for your local site and on the server. - How we can ensure our site is ready for automatic updates. - Customizing the update process. - Caveats and limitations of automatic updates.

We have all heard this from a client: “I have a small marketing website and I want it in English too.” It sounds simple, and it can be, but do not make the error to think “it is just a copy of each page, add the language switcher and voila, we’re done!” In this talk we will dive into the technology decisions we have made, and committed to the Drupal community, in order to answer the question "How can translations of our content for our (Drupal 10-based) website relaunch, also using the layout builder, be managed?" In this case study we used our company's website. We had to take our Drupal stack into consideration. It is based upon Lupus Decoupled, a fully integrated solution for a headless Drupal which builds upon Custom Elements and Lupus Custom Elements Renderer. On top of that we also use a custom solution that turns our backend into a contentpool that delivers content to multiple frontends. That was our starting point on top of which we added a multilingual functionality layer. Drupal Core gives us many tools to start with, but to make it manageable, we had to make some decisions. When an entity exists in one language and then it is translated, all the layout builder blocks are cloned and attached to the new translation. How should the system manage an added block of text? The language switcher must also be designed. There are accessibility guidelines and decisions to make about how the language switcher works when a translation is not available. The list goes on. We will highlight the overall strategy that we have developed, as well as go into some of the finer points of the code.

There are certain javascript-based interactive components that we front-end developers build over, and over, and over, and over again. What's more, we often adhere rigidly to the requirements of the current project when we do so meaning that the end products are not easy to re-use. The end result is a lot of javascript-based components that are buggy, inaccessible, and outdated. Well, we can do better. This session outlines and demonstrates a general approach to building small interactive components with progressive-enhancement, re-use, customisation, and responsiveness in mind.

digital accessibility for content editors Some essential accessibility requirements can only be done by the web editors themselves! The following topics will be discussed e.g. wording pictures structuring / markup tables abbreviations foreign words links multimedia

In this presentation, the use of Nextjs and the Drupal commerce_api module for creating a decoupled webshop will be explored. Statically generated pages for products and and product variations will be focused on, as well as the addition of products to the cart, handling amounts, and deleting order items. Products with flexible pricing will also be discussed, as well as the management of anonymous and user-assigned carts. The registration process during checkout will also be examined, with an emphasis on creating a seamless and efficient user experience for customers. Throughout the presentation, best practices and tips for creating a successful decoupled webshop using Nextjs and the Drupal commerce_api module will be shared. Finnally, a real-life example of a webshop that has successfully implemented this approach will be presented. By the end of the presentation, attendees will have a clear understanding of how Nextjs and Drupal commerce_api can be integrated to create a decoupled webshop that is both flexible and provides a great user experience. It will also provide you with the tools and knowledge needed to create your own decoupled webshop using these technologies.

While writing the Group module I have had to learn some lessons the hard way. Let me share these lessons with you so you don't have to share my agony.

A quick overview of all the exciting features that are coming to HTML, CSS & JavaScript in the near future.

Communication and collaboration in teams and organizations is THE challenge. Right? Imagine that you can suddenly talk about these topics very easily - using LEGO models. Imagine that working out complex topics like strategy, values, product, processes can be done seriously and yet with fun.

In this session, we will discuss performance optimization within the Drupal platform. We will survey a wide spectrum of performance-related issues that various stakeholders involved in a Drupal website might confront - from end-users to the marketing team, coders, etc... In addition, we'll overview a variety of solutions aimed at addressing these challenges. In the subsequent section, we'll highlight several tools designed for code and project benchmarking, and illustrate their application to benchmark Drupal core. This exploration will catalyze a conversation about how to interpret your results and identify strategic leverage points for your project. In the concluding phase, we'll bring code examples of out-of-the-box thinking solutions, and deliberate on the common trade-of balancing performance over maintainability and configurability: a dilemma you may frequently encounter.

VLSuite is the content editing experience on top of Site Builder that ambitious site builders are waiting for. This session features the capabilities of the VLSuite, completely independent from any theme or distribution but providing an out of the box editing experience that takes Layout Builder to the next level.

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, time is one of our most precious, if not the most precious, commodities. One would then figure that we would value it and manage it well, right? Well - not really. While most of us understand the importance of time and its limited amount, we somehow fail to put this understanding into practice and waste our time on distractions and procrastination rather than taking the reins and living the life we’ve always dreamt of living. In this session, I’ll discuss about the importance of time management and give you some tips on how to effectively manage your time and get more out of your life.

This conference session will explore the transformative potential of Generative AI in the context of Drupal. The session will explore how AI has evolved to generate human-like content, explore online information, conduct research, and connect with other services, profoundly influencing content creators and Drupal users. We will examine how AI can simplify content building and publishing, replace traditional search filters with semantic search, and offer coding assistance.

In this session, I want to highlight several aspects that have made it easier for me to give back to the community, even as a digital marketing manager. In my role, the ways to contribute are often far from obvious, so I'd like to highlight some recent activities I've done to support Drupal maintainers and developers. In doing so, I hope to encourage more non-developers within the community to find their way, and to kick-start potential collaborations for the future.

At https://www.jobiqo.com/ started our decoupled journey in 2018 the Drupal decoupled scene was new, very different and less mature than it is today. In this session I will go through the initial business (and technical) motivations to change jobiqo’s product from a very typical Drupal 7 architecture with a decoupled architecture using Drupal GraphQL and Next.js. We will discuss challenges, risk and patterns we found while working in Decoupled Drupal over the last 5 years

TMGMT module: supporting you to keep track of translations on your multilingual website Managing multilingual content on a website can quickly become a daunting task without the proper tools. Fortunately, the Translation Management Tool (TMGMT) module provides invaluable support to content creators by streamlining translation management, tracking translations, and facilitating third-party translation services. The use of TMGMT has steadily increased over time, with more websites adopting it and a growing number of providers being supported. As the standard for managed translations in Drupal, we are committed to improving the module's usability. In this presentation, we will showcase how TMGMT simplifies the management of multilingual content. We will focus on the module's ability to suggest related content for translation and prevent the submission of duplicate items to service providers, ultimately reducing costs. Additionally, we will discuss some of the remaining challenges and our plans to address them.
