An opportunity to ask beginner questions about Backdrop CMS. We'll have a demo site ready to show how to do things and answer your questions LIVE. A perfect place to ask beginner questions about things like:
* Content Types and Fields
* Getting Started with Views
* The Backdrop CMS Layout System
Out of the box, Backdrop CMS has Views that can have exposed filters and Search.
However, there are modules that can extend the capability of Views and Search including integration with third party solutions including AI. The purpose of this session is to give a high level overview of the options with very brief demos. The idea being if there is demand to dig deeper, these sessions can be added later in the unconference.
Backdrop contains several different methods for how to put ALT text on your images. None are perfect, and there is room for improvement. In this discussion I would like to cover:
Many universities are adopting Backdrop CMS for various reasons, with budget efficiency and flexibility being key factors. As financial and structural considerations become increasingly important, let's explore the features that can make the CampusDrop platform a strong choice for educational institutions (K-12, community colleges, and universities). We'll discuss flexible layouts with Layout Paragraphs, customizable content types, preset views, and display options, among other capabilities designed to meet the unique needs of educational organizations.
There is work happening on the Content Moderation module and Workflow modules.
This session will talk about what these modules do, about progress being made, and about other related modules.
Without any special action, the Backdrop CMS user interface is presented in English. But of course the system can also be operated in other languages, e.g. Arabic, French, Hebrew, Persian, Spanish, Swedish, and many more.
In this session let's talk about,
What do you use to protect the privacy of visitors to your site(s) and your client sites?
How to balance privacy requirement with functionality?
How can we make the measures we implement to support privacy as user friendly as possible?
What has changed since the last Backdrop LIVE?
I'd like to discuss the possibility of improving the documentation for contrib projects. Not every project will need this and for many the README is all that is needed, but some use the Wiki. Wikis are alright but they are not searchable, either internally or from Google.
I've been experimenting with VitePress (used for Lando documentation) as a Github Action to publish into pages. At present, GitHub Pages are disabled in backdrop-contrib but perhaps this could change?
I did a presentation a few months back in Asheville about a security incident that I experienced. Let's not rehash the entire talk but expand it to discuss strategies and tools to keep passwords and secrets secure.
