I'll be presenting a session on upgrading from Drupal 7 to Backdrop CMS at Twin Cities Drupal Camp on Friday at 11:00pm (Central). I look forward to seeing you there.

Just a reminder, Backdrop LIVE is an unconference that focuses on facilitated discussions rather than structured presentations (although we have a few of those too). Anyone can suggest a topic for the schedule. We welcome topics that are not Backdrop specific. We'd welcome discussions about things happening in the Drupal community.

Block D is available for folks in time zones very different from the USA.

Sept 23-24
Backdrop LIVE has moved to a twice a year schedule (was 3/year). The reduced frequency means less volunteer burnout.

It's an online event for learning about and sharing information.

@datendetektivin da fällt mir spontan noch mit dem Webform Modul ein.

So bleiben die Daten unter eigener Kontrolle, keinerlei externe Dienste werden benötigt.

backdropcms.org/project/webfor

Das Modul kann in Backdrop über wenige Klicks installiert werden.

The Twitter block I have on a clients site that was broken a few weeks ago is working again.

It's a feed of recent Tweets they posted. I did not expect these feeds/widgets to ever work again and had planned to replace it.

Hopefully, this client will decide to move off Twitter eventually anway. But for now, I guess we leave the block.

The next Backdrop CMS Virtual User Group meeting is tomorrow (August 17th).

Topic: Organic Groups module

A port of this Drupal 7 module was released back in April. Let's take a look at where it's at now and how to use it on your next Backdrop CMS project.

@pcambra nothing new. No mention of on the whole page. As if the name of the Drupal fork is still taboo on drupal.org. 🤷

There's a module for that: Mastodon Toot

So you have a site, but it feels a bit limited feature-wise? And you're considering to migrate your content to something more versatile? Consider and its "WordPress Import" module!

Here's a recap by @keiserjb, how he managed that task. And how he benefits from the additional features he got now.
