I am very new to Drupal my learning consists of mainly watching tutorials. I am not a programmer so I can not make a custom Module or Block for what I need. My goal is to add a meter/gauge to a form that the users may adjust a dial to input fuel levels?
I heard a rumour that Dries and a little scrum were doing sprints on an Ubercart to Drupal Commerce upgrade path at Drupalcon London meaning a path is in active development. Can anyone confirm this? I've searched a bit but can't find anything to suggest it's true.
Why is it that there is this weird ( from a design point of view ) development plan for core. I mean weird with the best intentions. Basically core is just a set of modules , i understand very complicated and integral , but why should there be this 6x release then 7x then 8x . I have been thinking about this for awhile having lost some functionality on a photoshop upgrade. This just does not seem like lego to me.
Each module is its own (as far as I can tell ) including the core modules. Can it not be that each module could be in a development cycle progress at its own rate without the hinderance of other modules? Even if one module is to a degree dependent on another could there not be some system in place whereby that dependency could fall back.
I understand the connectivity between modules but i see the current system as a stumbling block to progression. If each module (core or other ) was not defined by a drupal version. And yes i understand with new versions come a difference structure but surly it is in the interest of the program to be able to develop along side each other while inherently individual states can progress without the needs of the others.
Recently one of my users deleted a fairly simple node - the end result was to quickly reproduce it from scratch. This, however, got me thinking - what if a more complex node were deleted, how would I go about restoring the node from a mysql backup?
I have a script I wrote that runs on a remote server and backs up my production database every hour. It just dumps the data into a .sql file on a remove server. So, does any one know of a good write up, or have some pointers?
Not attending DrupalCon Vienna 2025? We would love to hear why. Your feedback helps us understand the community better.
