Drupal 8.x

Hi all,

what's the best way of saving complex module settings? I mean, I know about get/set_variable, but if I have a module which stores a lot of properties would it be right to save them using entities? Are there any other ways?

Thanks for your help,

Marco

I'd love to hear the opinion of the Drupal community on this subject. Is Drupal a good platform for Internet start ups looking to ultimately expand on a global scale. We've gotten a lot of negative feedback when trying to market some start ups under the Drupal platform. Mostly it comes from having to recently defend Drupal to potential investors of Internet start up companies. For the most part when we're meeting with these people as soon as the word Drupal comes from our team's mouth they frown at us.

Their largest concern is that there is a large misconception that Drupal is slow. Personally I feel like slow Drupal sites are mis-configured Drupal sites. But it goes on past that. The number of bugs filed against the core. They are quick to suggest that we use [insert buzz word of the week here], because it's a much better solution. “You need to be using Ruby on Rails, Twitter was built on Ruby on Rails, so obviously that's what you should be using.” (I'm not saying there is anything wrong with Rails at all. It's a powerful language. I'm just tired of hearing that RoR is faster than Drupal just because it is. I've yet to come across any finite numbers, or actual evidence to support that either is faster than the other.)

I have a problem with trolls on several community sites and i run and so far several modules have been bested by these high motivated individuals who are dead set on causing discourse. so i had an idea for a module and wanted to run it past the community first.

Hey guys:

I've been checking around online for web hosting providers, and I've come across a few. I wanted to get the thoughts of some people
here to see if they have used siteserving and/or if they have anything to say about them? They look good... so I want to use them...

On another note, I've got a few Drupal driven websites, which are starting to get dated, and want to upgrade to the latest version of
drupal, so.. can anyone suggest the best path to run from Drupal 5.x to 8.x ?

Thanks guys!!

I've been looking for weeks but I cannot seem to figure out how I can add a watermark to a PDF if I'm selling e-books via some sort of e-commerce solution. I lean toward using Commerce Kickstart, except everything I've found on this topic is related to Ubercart.

Surely I'm not the only Drupal user who would like to protect the e-books I sell from being pirated.

Hi All,

A very quick question - what makes a 'Drupal Developer?'.

I've been using Drupal - off and on - for around 3 years now. I have a good understanding of views, install, blocks, panels. Put it this way, I can create a site without editing the code - besides CSS - I can apply some basic theming.

Worth noting, I don't know any programming codes like PHP or Java, I can't edit modules but I understand the module system.
