Demo of Drupal 10 starterkit theme tool and base theme, feedback needed

By Gábor Hojtsy on

Last week, we posted about the new starterkit custom theme creation process and base theme with the goal of replacing Classy in Drupal 10. Yesterday Lauri Eskola demonstrated the current status of the starterkit at the Drupal 10 meeting. Check out the recording and post your feedback in the issue.

Discuss in the #frontend channel on Drupal Slack too. Drupal 10 readiness meetings are every other Monday at 19:00 UTC in the #d10readiness.

Demo of CKEditor 5 core integration for Drupal 9 under development, feedback needed

By Gábor Hojtsy on

Peter Weber leads CKEditor 5 integration development for Drupal 9.

While Drupal 9 already comes with CKEditor 4, that will go end of life in 2023, so we need to upgrade to CKEditor 5 to provide this replacement for Drupal 10. The target release date for Drupal 10 in June 2022 (in 15 months!). We plan to add CKEditor 5 integration to Drupal 9 even sooner though, to help the Drupal contributed ecosystem catch up and prepare in time.

There are various moving parts and several items left on the roadmap for beta level core inclusion. Peter presented a demo today to showcase where the current state stands primarily to get more feedback about the developer interface. A simple infobox CKEditor 5 plugin was also showcased to asses the integration developer experience. Check out the video recording here:

Discuss in the #ckeditor5 channel on Drupal Slack. CKEditor 5 integration meetings are every other Thursday at 15:30 UTC in the same channel.

Participate in the Drupal 10 readiness day at DrupalCon North America 2021 to learn even more and get mentored contributing to the CKEditor 5 integration.

New starterkit will change how you create themes in Drupal 10

By lauriii on

Drupal has been providing subtheming capabilities for over a decade. When you create a theme for Drupal 8 or 9, a best practice is to subtheme the core Classy theme, so you get common CSS classes and usual markup for a Drupal site. This means the Classy theme is used in the runtime as part of your theme. As a consequence, Classy has not been receiving updates since Drupal 8.0.0, because most changes are not possible while retaining backwards compatibility.

By Gábor Hojtsy on

We plan to release Drupal 10 in 2022, ideally in June. That means there are 15 months left before the new major release is expected to be available. I provided an update about the initiative last time in December at DrupalCon Europe. I wanted to give a quick update on some of the highlight areas we are working on.

By volkswagenchick on

Over the past few years, the number of active site moderators in the Drupal.org site moderators queue https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/site_moderators?categories=All has decreased significantly.
