Building commercial websites is getting worse since Drupal starts to use Symphony Framework.
Why?
f.e.:
Drupal 7 was released 5th January 2011, Commerce 7.0 war available 23th August 2011.
Drupal 7 will reach EOL November 2022
With D7 Vendor Extended Support (D7ES) maybe the end will be 2025
A commercial website was usable for 10 years. Maybe longer with D7ES
I went over a beginner tutorial and it’s a great starting ground, but I still don’t understand how I should approach advanced custom website programming in Drupal. Most tutorials dumb down their projects to fit the specific functionality modules have, without exploring how to tie them together when requirements aren’t that straightforward.
Kindly suggest me if any solutions are there to resolve the below security issues in drupal 7.
Files can be downloaded without authentication and authorization.(Note: How public file system(sites/default/files/) can be restricted ?
Malicious files can be uploaded to server (Note: Attacker can upload malicious file in pdf or any format and upload it to server which can have very bad impact on server.
I'm trying to figure out why my image map isn't working. I created a custom Image block on my site and I'm quite sure there is nothing wrong with the html in fact when I inspect the image with google chrome the link actually works but if I close inspect nothing happens and when I hover the mouse over the mapped area the mouse doesn't even show that it's clickable. I dunno if there is a setting within drupal that might be effecting this please help!!
