Read more on three significant challenges around implementing media uploads in Drupal. In our guest Acquia Developer Center post Ian Wright explains the Media module’s key features and how it can resolve issues with managing media, as well as what else you can do with it and how you can extend it with patches.

Building up a key partner relationship with Acquia had been on my to do list at miggle for a long time. We've been partners in name since about 2012, but it wasn't until the end of 2014 that we really started to get some traction.

Why it’s worth doing it right – and ideally, without custom code

Drupal 8 follows modern PHP standards for object-orientated programming which, alone, brings Drupal much closer to the PHP family. I consider this a major improvement from Drupal 7 on the basis it will allow PHP developers to work on Drupal projects easier and understand Drupal practices much faster as well as Drupal developers to work on other PHP platforms with less of a learning curve.

Important Drupal integrations, sales, marketing and training components to build a successful travel agency website.

In an effort to further "operational freedom" in 2016, miggle are announcing our new training programme.  

On the tail end of our first ever Drupal 8 site, Think Nation, which was a massive success, we thought that it would only be befiting to offer our first course for Drupal 8.  

Drupal 8 is a scary new beast which is now over 6 months old.

It could be very unpredictable, another learning curve and a bubble burster for those who have settled down with the hook-based procedural approach. That's if you're a developer of-course; otherwise apart from a shiny new admin experience you may ask what's the fuss?

We believe Drupal sites work best for clients when we help provide a roadmap to self- sufficiency, as this is one of the key advantages to be exploited from use of open source technologies. Most of this section, in as far as it relates to project management, is about how we aim to deliver self-sufficiency by how we manage your project.

We also believe it’s key to have a good approach to business continuity planning (BCP), the bed rock of which is supplying solutions which are fully installable from source, backed up by clearly defined documentation and processes.

The following overview of key Drupal components should help describe what the build process looks like – and help create an understanding of what is custom and what is not.

Quite a lot of our work involves us taking on an existing Drupal site that was originally built elsewhere. This post talks about the process we apply when we inherit work this way - and our six-point Drupal health check.
