Drupal Pune Meetup - August 22, 2026

Agenda

1. 09:30 AM – Coffee & Catch-up ☕
   
   Arrive, introduce yourself, and connect with fellow attendees.
   We’ll kick things off with a casual meet-and-greet session where everyone can introduce themselves, share what they’ve been working on lately, or talk about something interesting they’ve been reading, learning, or exploring.




2. 10:00 AM (Session) – Bringing Canvas Page Building to Paragraphs in Drupal
   
   Drupal Canvas brings visual, component-based page building to Drupal — but out of the box, it only works with nodes. In this talk, I'll walk through canvas_paragraphs, a custom module that bridges Canvas's Content Template system to Paragraph entities, letting site builders visually design and manage paragraph bundles the same way they do full pages. I'll cover the architecture behind the bridge — view builder overrides, Field UI integration, enum field mapping quirks, and a few non-obvious gotchas we hit along the way — and share what it takes to extend Canvas to entity types it wasn't originally built for.

   
   

   Key Takeaways:

   • Extending Drupal Canvas beyond its node-only default
   • A reusable bridge pattern for other entity types
   • Common pitfalls in view builder and Field UI overrides
   • How to map non-standard fields to SDC component props
