Most Drupal 10 installations on campus will be hosted on OIT Web Hosting and managed through composer (not Installatron as was used for Drupal 7 and earlier). Updating Drupal 10 under composer is relatively straightforward, but does involve several steps:
Mercury Reader requires an extra php extension outside of what lando's drupal10 recipe typically provides.
Adjust your lando.yml Landofile to include the following:
services:
appserver:
build_as_root:
- apt-get update -y
- apt-get install libxslt1-dev -y
- docker-php-ext-install xsl
- docker-php-ext-enable xslRebuild your lando environment to install the libraries:
lando rebuild -y
For most general use cases, we recommend the OIT Web Hosting turnkey install option of Drupal 10: when requesting a new Web Hosting account, you can mark the Drupal Express option on the request form and your account will be pre-loaded with a ready-to-use version of Drupal 10 complete with the official Georgia Tech web theme and page layout system.
Media Library in Drupal 10 offers a lot of great functionality for managing and reusing images (and other media types), but out-of-the-box it has a notable accessibility issue.
List of potentially useful Layout Builder Extensions within the Layout Builder Ecosystem:
Lando provides scaffolding for tools like Drupal Console and Drush.
To use these tools within Lando, just pre-empt your command with lando to make sure it's running within the Lando interface.
For example, to install a new module in Drupal 8 using Drupal Console, use:
The below scenario assumes you have Lando installed on your own machine for local development.
Install Drupal via composer:
composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:10.x-dev SITENAME --no-interactionEnter SITENAME and init lando.
What is Lando? From the Lando documentation:
It's a free, open source, cross-platform, local development environment and DevOps tool built on Docker container technology and developed by Tandem. Designed to work with most major languages, frameworks and services, Lando provides an easy way for developers of all skill levels to specify simple or complex requirements for their projects, and then quickly get to work on them.
Satisfies a comment on drupal.org:
Someday I would like to spend the time to make a list of the various field types and the best way to check whether they are empty so I can stop Googling this thread every few months.
{% if content.field|render is not empty %}
{{ content.field }}
{% endif %}
Note that this can be an expensive (resource-wise) check to make.
