Configuration

In this session we're going to try a live upgrade of a Drupal 7 to both Drupal 10 and Backdrop CMS. 

There is a request from an registrant that we discuss: "development workflows (interactions with GitHub, maintain development/user acceptance/production environments)."

Come along to share your experience and learn from others.

A discussion on measures available in core, contrib and in hosting to secure Backdrop websites.

In Drupal 7 there were many ways to setup e-commerce sites, and lots of sites were setup with each of those options. Ubercart has been ported and has a lot of other modules to extend it, but many others are not ported yet or are only available with minimal or partially ported features.

Come discuss the commerce options that are available for site owners and what we can do to make more options available.

This session is intended for the absolute Backdrop beginner. We'll introduce you to one of the fundamental building blocks of Backdrop CMS, custom content types and fields. 

• What are Content Types and Fields
• How to create custom Content Types
• How to create custom Fields
• Types of fields
  • Text
  • Number
  • Reference
  • Boolean
  • Date
  • Image
  • Link
  • File

A participant at Backdrop LIVE specifically asked for more help or a better understanding of Backdrop Multisite. Jason Flatt uses multisite Backdrop on a regular basis and has agreed to facilitate a discussion and answer whatever questions he is able to. 

So bring any questions you have about Backdrop multisite or if you are a multisite user, bring your experiences to share. 

... that is the question!

This is an intermediate discussion for those who have some experience of managing Backdrop or Drupal with command line tools such as bee, brush and/or drush. It is NOT about command line tools for beginners.

There are three command line tools to support the installation and management of Backdrop websites:

• bee
• brush
• drush (backdrop extension)

Bee, formerly knows as Backdrop Console is inspired by drush and is under active development

Brush, is no longer being maintained in favour of bee

A number of people use or want to use Git version control to manage their website between local and hosting servers.  We can discuss the different approaches, challenges with managing git workflows and share ideas for what works and what doesn't.

Which approach do you use?

Are you having issues working out the best way for your situation?

There is currently an effort being made to port the Organic Groups module from Drupal 7. This is a large and complex module, but important to many sites. In this session, we'll talk about:

• What the Organic Groups module does and why it's important to the community
• The progress of the port 
• If the work is ongoing, how we can work together to expedite completion
• If the work is complete, what we learned from the experience
