I wrote a blog entry a while back on the state of Drupal/Salesforce integration. What I didn’t say is that a number of shops that have done Drupal/SF integration for production sites chose not to use the contributed modules – they built (or are building) their own custom Salesforce/Drupal integration modules.

A while ago, I joined a bunch of groups at groups.drupal.org , thinking I’d pick up some interesting ideas, and meet some folks who were doing cool stuff with Drupal. One of the groups I joined (along with “Drupal for Good&# and “Drupalchix&# ) was the PostgreSQL group. Yesterday, in my RSS feed, this post showed up.

The importance of optimizing Drupal cannot be overstated. The “academic” debate around Drupal typical centers on whether Drupal is a Content Management System (and hence primarily for standard website) or an Application Development Framework (and hence ideal for data-driven, application production). The Application.

I think that if I had to pick only one thing that would help people understand the character of Drupal, it would be the WYSIWYG editor that comes standard with an out-of-the-box Drupal installation. There is no standard WYSIWYG editor that comes with Drupal. That would be NONE.

I’ve implemented CiviCRM together with Drupal, and I’m really psyched to keep working with this great combo. CiviCRM originally only integrated with Drupal, but recently a lot of work has been done to also integrate CiviCRM with Joomla. CiviCRM acts in Drupal like a module, and in Joomla like a component.

As Drupal 9 heads towards its end-of-life this November, now is the time to start preparing to move your government website to Drupal 10. Whether taking a big step from Drupal 7 to 10 or an easier switch from Drupal 9 to 10, a number of agencies are starting to make the move. Many others are planning the move now.
