Today we saw Magento issue a new release (2.1.8) which is available for Magento Open Source (formally known as Community Edition) and Magento Commerce (formally known as Magento Enterprise).
The following article takes a closer look at this release, the improvements it provides before finishing up with instructions on how you can upgrade.
Unlike many content management systems Drupal is great for dealing with imagery because it has an included feature known as ‘Image Styles’. Using image styles Drupal allows you to upload an image once and use it in multiple different scenarios without the need to reupload it each time.
When our client Pernod Ricard asked us to re-build the Piña Colada Day website, we were all pretty excited here at CTI. With less than week to go (at the time of writing this blog) until Piña Colada day we can almost taste the Malibu!
After recently upgrading one of our existing Magento 2 clients from Magento 2.1.4 up to Magento 2.1.6 an issue was reported whereby images on the front-end were not displaying correctly.
One of the biggest benefits Open Source Software comes from collaboration. In Drupal we foster collaboration and it transcends every discipline from coding, design, user experience to community affairs and even business. This open collaboration helps us achieve far greater impact than working in isolation.
David Munn, Head of Information Technology at Greater London Authority, articulated so well from his organisation’s perspective why so collaboration has value.
“Open source software like Drupal strips away barriers to innovative development. Previously, license arrangements prevented us from innovating, not to mention IT is traditionally a solitary endeavour.”
For me DrupalCamp London is a special time in the calendar where many of us gather and reaffirm our sense of being part of something bigger than us. There’s something powerful about a conference of this scale, being face to face with those on a daily basis you only meet in the ether. It is invigorating and empowering.
Celebrating it’s 5th Birthday, yes Alex Burrows we are expecting cake, I’m certain we are in for an exceptional weekend. We have 2 staff selected to present during the weekend. Both talks reference real world client project and emphasise hitherto emphasised important benefits of Drupal 8 to developers and end users alike.
“A new era of accessibility in Drupal 8” - Phil Wolstenholme
Drupal 8 is the most accessible version of Drupal, and brings with it some features not seen in any other Content Management System, open-source or proprietary.
Whether you’re a Drupal newbie or a seasoned developer, anyone can take advantage of these features that come out-of-the-box. We’ll learn how to make the most of them, why they are necessary, and how to extend them in our own custom development to keep up high standards of accessibility.
“A-jax of all trades” - James Hall
A whistle-stop tour of the Drupal AJAX API including some of the changes and improvements introduced in Drupal 8. This is a relatively high-level introduction to the topic and is aimed aimed at those developers who have had little or no experience with the API previously.
Friday’s CxO Day - The business of Drupal
The CxO day is always a highlight for me. The knowledge exchange it fosters between business, public sector, non profit end users of Drupal and suppliers is vital to ensure we continue to evolve and improve our understanding. I enjoy speaking to people from the variety of sectors and sizes of organisations, discussing how Drupal may provide answers to their business challenges.
Are you planning your next digital project, evaluating content management systems or existing end user of Drupal? For the 5th year I will be joining fellow agency peers and Drupal consultants gathering from across Europe contributing to CxO Day at DrupalCamp London, March 3-5 2017.
Featuring a varied programme of speakers, CxO provides vital opportunities to network, collaborate and learn from peers and Drupal business professionals alike. The event is designed to help you realise the true potential of Drupal and open source software through case study presentations, behind the scenes perspectives and lessons learned from experienced business owners and Drupal specialists.
Attracting representatives from the very best Drupal Agencies all having a wealth of knowledge and willingness to share (as is the open source way), this event is not to be missed. You will leave having made new connections, take with you valuable insights and forged a deeper understand as to the tangible benefits Drupal and open source bring.
2017 has arrived kicking and screaming. Like any new year it’s a time for renewal and resolutions. Oh, and that tired blog post format with a list of things to do in the upcoming year. Yup, this is one of those. Let’s get on with it.
