Hi,
I have one concern over here we are moving towards D8 but what about backward compatibility
D8 is 360 degree different from D7 how we will migrate those web site which are already build up under hood of D7.
How can you help your Drupal website continue to perform at the highest level as it grows to meet demand? This comprehensive guide provides best practices, examples, and in-depth explanations for solving several performance and scalability issues. You’ll learn how to apply coding and infrastructure techniques to Drupal internals, application performance, databases, web servers, and performance analysis.
Covering Drupal versions 7 and 8, this book is the ideal reference for everything from site deployment to implementing specific technologies such as Varnish, memcache, or Solr. If you have a basic understanding of Drupal and the Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP (LAMP) stack, you’re ready to get started.
Establish a performance baseline and define goals for improvement
Optimize your website’s code and front-end performance
Get best and worst practices for customizing Drupal core functionality
Apply infrastructure design techniques to launch or expand a site
Use tools to configure, monitor, and optimize MySQL performance
Employ alternative storage and backend search options as your site grows
Tune your web servers through httpd and PHP configuration
Monitor services and perform load tests to catch problems before they become critical
I have been an avid user of content management systems for many years, but of late I have run into some snags. I have to admit I've played around with many CMS's but have stuck with Joomla for many years (yes, I know, I said the evil "J" word). However, Joomla will NOT do what I am currently looking for, thus I'm looking to make a switch if need-be. Here is what I'm after ...
I need a community driven system (profiles pages, activity streams etc ...) that will allow my members to each create their own pages and sub-pages. In more detail, end-user wiki-style pages with a hierarchal document-like structure similar to chapters that is defined by the member creating the pages. Also, where-in a navigation/tree-like menu is automatically created for the structure allowing others to browse thru the documents. When I say "wiki-style" it does not necessarily have to be community edited pages, just pages with structure that the members can create for themselves. Although a Wiki Bridge isn't out of the question either. I can create a great community driven site based around social interaction, but Joomla only allows members to create pages and place them into categories/sub-categories; frankly that is no different than blogs, there is no structure to what is added in each category and that is the problem.
I'm doing a survey on the Extensions feature in the Drupal 7 version of Adaptivetheme, looking forward to Drupal 8 I really would like know what people use and what could be dropped, added, improved and so on:
We're currently working on a Drupal 8 module that we want to share with the community. The module allows the administrator to use an ElasticSearch instance as search engine processor instead of the native Drupal search engine.
However, the module has external dependencies : it uses Ruflin's Elastica library to perform all the calls to the ElasticSearch REST API.
DDEV is the official local development tool of Drupal. And like Drupal, DDEV depends on the support of the open source community.
