• Brief description:
  • Have you ever wanted a simplified widget for managing meta tags in your Drupal content? There's a module for that.
• Module name/project name:
  • Metatag Simple Widget
• Brief history
  • How old: created in Jul 2025 by Jim Vomero (njim) of Four Kitchens
  • Versions available: 1.0.0 and 1.1.0, the latter of which works with Drupal core 10 and 11
• Maintainership
  • Actively maintained
  • Security coverage
  • No open issues
• Usage stats:
  • 1 site
• Module features and usage
  • With this module installed, in the form configuration for your content types, you'll see a new "Simplified meta tags form" widget for metatag fields
  • It's designed to provide a dramatically streamlined input for metatags, focused on only exposing the most commonly used tags, the title and description
  • As a configuration option, you can have the widget hide default values, which for metatag fields often contain tokens, which could be confusing for Drupal neophytes
  • The module was nominated by Dave Hansen-Lange (dalin), also of Four Kitchens, and a co-maintainer, as well as a fellow Canadian

I also wanted to give a shout out to the Drupal.org Infrastructure Working Group. In the lead-up to this recording there was a media server failure that brought down the entire site. They worked as furiously as Santa's elves and were able to quickly get the site back up. It was a reminder for me of how much we all (and this segment in particular) depend on the tireless work they do. In this season of giving please consider supporting the Drupal Association, and if you already do, maybe see if you could give a little more.

• Brief description:
  • Have you ever wanted an improved token browser that loads quickly and doesn't have a depth limit? There's a module for that.
• Module name/project name:
  • Token Browser
• Brief history
  • How old: created in Nov 2025 by Andy Marquis (apmsooner)
  • https://talkingdrupal.com/505
  • Versions available: 1.0.0 which works with Drupal core 11.3 or newer
• Maintainership
  • Actively maintained
  • Security coverage
  • Test coverage
  • Number of open issues: 2 open issues, 1 of which is a bug
• Usage stats:
  • 3 sites
• Module features and usage
  • The Token Browser module provides a rebuilt version of the standard token browser. Notably, it only renders the first level during the initial request, and then requests deeper levels as needed using all the latest HTMX improvements in Drupal core 11.3
  • It's worth noting that the initial version requires an alternative theme function be attached to form elements where you want to use the new Token Browser, so it doesn't actually replace the standard version
  • Also, there seems to be an issue where the HTMX library doesn't load on cached pages, which is the one open issue. I pinged Andy about it and it sounds like he has a fix in the works.
  • Finally, this module is similar to an older module called Fast Token Browser, but that module was never updated to work with versions of Drupal newer than 7, and relied on jQuery for its AJAX functionality

• Brief description:
  • Have you been wanting a version of Drupal core that moves away from the hooks system, has PHP 8.5 support, or has better support for asynchronous queries? The newly released Drupal core 11.3 has all these and more.
• Module name/project name:
  • Drupal core 11.3
• Brief history
  • Created in the last few days (hopefully) by the time this episode is released
• Changes
  • Performance improvements
  • New MYSQLi database driver. In combination with the PHP Fibers support added in Drupal 10.2, this should allow Drupal sites to run much faster. Not all hosting environments will have PHP configured to work with the new driver, so for now the new driver is in an experimental core module you will need to install to try the new driver
  • Drupal can now lazy load multiple entities at a time using Fibers
  • PHP 8.5 support should also improve performance, as will a number of caching improvements
  • Some early testing in the community indicates some significant improvements for pages loaded from cold cache, anywhere from 30 to 40% fewer queries
  • One of the significant changes in Drupal core 11.2 was the addition of HTMX as the intended successor to Drupal's older AJAX system. Drupal core 11.3 includes some significant steps on the path to replacing all the places that AJAX system in core
  • There's a new HTMX factory object with methods to abstract the specifics of the attributes and headers needed to implement HTMX
  • HTMX is now used for the Form Builder and ConfigSingleExportForm
  • BigPipe no longer uses the older AJAX API, which itself uses jQuery
  • New Workspace Provider concept, will be interesting to see what new possibilities this creates
  • New administer node published status permission, previously required the much broader "administer nodes" permission
  • Drupal core 11.3 also includes some capabilities that previously required contrib modules
  • Links created within CKEditor5 now dynamically link to the entity and when rendered will automatically point to the most recent alias. Previously Drupal sites needed the Linkit module, which has been part of Drupal CMS since its release at the start of the year
  • Drupal CMS is also heavily based on Drupal's recipe system, which includes the ability to automatically import content included within a recipe. Until now you still needed the default_content module to export content as YAML for inclusion in a recipe. With Drupal 11.3 you can export all entities of a particular type, optionally filtered by bundle, and optionally including all dependencies
  • Many of Drupal's remaining hooks, particularly those for themes, now have OOP class replacements, so we're now very close to being able to deprecate .module and .theme files
  • Listeners may remember that the Navigation module was added as an experimental module in Drupal core 10.3. In 11.3, the module is now officially stable, so the rethought admin menu that originally debuted as part of the Gin admin theme is now fully realized in Drupal core
  • SDCs can now be marked to be excluded from the UI, for example if they are meant to only be nested within other components
  • Drupal core 11.3 also introduces some new deprecations:
  • Migrate Drupal and Migrate Drupal UI officially deprecated now that Drupal 7 is EOL
  • Also field_layout, which was ultimately superseded by Layout Builder
  • Promoted and Sticky fields are now hidden by default (an issue created more than 20 years ago! A five digit issue ID) - the user who created it had a drop.org username lol
  • Another issue that sets the "Promoted" default value to FALSE for new content types was also resolved, but only 15 years old. It had a six-digit issue ID - barely!
  • Theme engines have been deprecated!
  • This may be the last feature release of Drupal core before version 12, which could drop as early as June 2026
  • We'll include a link to the release highlights, but by the time you hear this there should also be an official announcement from Gabor and the DA with additional details

• Brief description:
  • Have you ever wanted to manage and monitor a portfolio of Drupal sites from a single interface? There's a module for that.
• Module name/project name:
  • Drupal Remote Dashboard (DRD)
• Brief history
  • How old: created in Jan 2010 by Jürgen Haas (jurgenhaas) of LakeDrops
  • Versions available: 4.1.7 which works with Drupal 10 and 11
• Maintainership
  • Actively maintained
  • Security coverage
  • Full Documentation Guide
  • Number of open issues: 22 open issues, 3 of which are bugs against the current branch
• Usage stats:
  • 126 sites
• Module features and usage
  • With the module enabled, for each monitored site you'll be able to review information like the version of core, modules, and themes, as well as the status report. Note that the dashboard and monitored sites do NOT need to be on the same major version of core.
  • You can also collect any block from a remote site to include on your dashboard, or access the error logs to review them in the dashboard
  • You can execute maintenance tasks like taking sites in or out of maintenance mode, running cron or update.php, as well as flushing cache
  • The dashboard will also allow you to rebuild job schedulers, update translations from drupal.org, change user credentials, or execute arbitrary PHP code, so you'll definitely want to be selective about who will have access
  • From the collected status information you can show a status widget for each domain to display grouped traffic light status levels for security, health, tuning, seo and others. You can also create aggregate status widgets, for example to show the composite health of all sites in a multisite installation.
  • Internally DRD is built around a number of entities, and the documentation includes an architecture page with an Entity Relationship Diagram, while the glossary page includes a description for each of the entities and what Drupal site information they map to. Obviously security for this kind of setup is paramount, and there's a documentation page that details the encryption and authentication methods that are supported
  • Sites that you want to monitor will need to have the DRD Agent module installed, which provides a simple wrapper to receive, route, handle and respond to requests from authorised Drupal Remote Dashboards. It's worth pointing out that the RDR Agent module is in use by 3,152 sites according to drupal.org, so there may be a small number of sites acting as dashboards, but on average each of them is monitoring 25 sites.

• Brief description:
  • Have you ever wanted to explore the AI capabilities of Drupal, but didn't know where to start? There's a Drupal recipe for that.
• Module name/project name:
  • AI Ecosystem Recipe
• Brief history
  • How old: created in Oct 2024 by Marcus Johansson (marcus_johansson of FreelyGive.io
• Versions available: 1.0.0-alpha2, which requires Drupal 10.3 or newer
• Maintainership
  • Actively maintained
  • Number of open issues: 2 open issues, both of which are bugs
• Module features and usage
  • When you require and apply this recipe to your Drupal site, you'll be able to start working with a variety of LLMs and specialized AI-based services
  • You'll be able to ingest unstructured content and map it to structured fields automatically. Or generate a detailed SEO analysis of your nodes. There are multiple translation tools, crawlers to help work across entire sites, and more.
  • This recipe is likely something you would apply to a sandbox site, to understand the various ways to achieve something specific with AI and Drupal, and then apply whatever is best for your use case to your actual site build.
  • But it's a useful resource for a Drupalist wanting to start exploring some of the growing list of options for working with AI, or someone familiar with AI tools who wants to start using them with Drupal.

In this episode, Martin sits down with Adam Boros, a passionate developer who shares his journey in the Drupal community. Adam discusses the importance of automation for small teams and recounts his experiences with Drupal's evolution from version 6 to the recent resurgence of enjoyment with Drupal 10. He introduces his innovative personal calendar builder created for DrupalCon Vienna, explaining its simplicity and the enthusiastic community feedback it received.

• Reflections on DrupalCon Vienna
• Evolution of Drupal and Its Community
• AI and the Future of Drupal
• Upcoming Events and Final Thoughts

Adam was originally studying Architecture but never graduated. He started web development as a self-learner after working a few years in print design and DTP back in 2002. Using Flash5 and ActionScript at first, Adam discovered Drupal around 4.6 while looking for a CMS to replace PHPNuke for a local NGO. It was true love at first sight and after a few years of hobby projects and active involvement with the Drupal community in Budapest he ended up being a full-time drupalist at a university where Adam has worked since then for the past 15+ years as "Drupal Systems Architect".

Martin is a highly respected figure in the Drupal community, known for his extensive contributions as a developer, speaker, and advocate for open-source innovation. Based in London, Ontario, Canada, Martin began his career as a graphic designer before transitioning into web development. His journey with Drupal started in late 2005 when he was seeking a robust multilingual CMS solution, leading him to embrace Drupal's capabilities.

Martin holds the distinction of being the world's first Triple Drupal Grand Master, certified across Drupal 7, 8, and 9 as a Developer, Front-End Specialist, and Back-End Specialist. (TheDropTimes) He also possesses certifications in various Acquia products and is UX certified by the Nielsen Norman Group.

Currently serving as a Senior Solutions Engineer at Acquia, Martin has been instrumental in advancing Drupal's ecosystem. He has developed and maintains several contributed modules, including Smart Date and Search Overrides, and has been actively involved in the Drupal Recipes initiative, particularly focusing on event management solutions. His current work on the Event Platform aims to streamline the creation and management of event-based websites within Drupal.

Beyond development, Martin is a prominent speaker and educator, having presented at numerous Drupal events such as DrupalCon Barcelona and EvolveDrupal. He is also a co-host of the "Talking Drupal" podcast, where he leads the "Module of the Week" segment, sharing insights on various Drupal modules. Martin's dedication to the Drupal community is evident through his continuous efforts to mentor, innovate, and promote best practices within the open-source landscape.

• Brief description:
  • Are you looking to create a website for a local Drupal association? There's a project on drupal.org to help you get started.
• Module name/project name:
  • Local Association (EU Sites Project)
• Brief history
  • How old: created in Oct 2023 by Jeremy Chinquist (jjchinquist) of drunomics and Drupal Austria
  • Versions available: dev version only
• Maintainership
  • Security coverage - opted in, no coverage until stable
  • Documentation guide available to help with setup
  • Number of open issues: 49 open issues, 4 of which are bugs
  • No usage stats available
• Module features and usage
  • This is an unusual project because it's designed to help you quickly create a Drupal website but it doesn't follow any of the usual patterns I've seen: a distribution, composer project template, or Drupal site template
  • Instead, the recommended path is to clone the repo local, and run a setup script. That creates your DDEV project, runs a composer install and then drush site install, and even runs a drush uli so you can log into your built site with a single click once it's done
  • Along the way it will install a couple of custom modules. One populates a multitude of default content, so you have a populated site including navigation as your starting point. It will look like a clone of the 2022 Drupal Netherlands site, though there have been ongoing tweaks to the overall setup, with the most recent in June of 2025.
  • The other custom module provides some additional layouts for use with layout builder, and the project also includes a theme meant to be customized.
  • As you may have guessed by now, this project started when the Dutch Drupal Association rebuilt their website in 2022, and wanted to share their work with other local associations. Drupal France was the first to adopt it, and there was a BoF at DrupalCon Lille in 2023 to discuss sharing it more widely.
  • Following that, an international workgroup began collaborating to establish this project and it was adopted by Drupal associations in Belgium, Germany, Norway, Finland, and London, England.
  • Since today's topic is about positioning Drupal on the international stage, I thought it would also be interesting to talk about how local Drupal associations have also formed their own federation to reduce effort

• Brief description:
  • Have you ever wanted to expose Drupal's capabilities to external automation platforms? There's a module for that.
• Module name/project name:
  • Orchestration
• Brief history
  • How old: created in Aug 2025 by Jürgen Haas of LakeDrops, in collaboration with Dries, who some of our listeners may be familiar with
  • Versions available: 1.0.0, which supports Drupal 11.2 or newer
• Maintainership
  • Actively maintained
  • Security coverage
  • Documentation site
  • Number of open issues: 11 open issues, none of which are bugs
• Usage stats:
  • 3 sites
• Module features and usage
  • With the Orchestration module installed, external systems can trigger Drupal workflows, call AI agents, and execute business logic through a unified API
  • The modules functions as a bi-directional bridge, so Drupal events like content updates, user registrations, or form submissions can also trigger external processing
  • Using the Orchestration module with the Activepieces automation platform in particular was featured at about the one hour mark in the most recent Driesnote, from DrupalCon Vienna, and we'll include a link to watch that in the show notes. The complex example Dries shows is pulling content from a Wordpress site, using AI to evaluate whether or not each post met certain criteria, and then conditionally calling one of a couple of ECA functions, in addition to using AI to rewrite the incoming content to change Wordpress terminology into Drupalisms
  • Under the hood Orchestration provides an endpoint that will return a JSON list of services, including the properties that are needed for each service. The external service also needs to provide the username and password for a Drupal account, so you can control what services will be available based on permissions for the Drupal user that will be used
  • Already Orchestration works with ECA, AI Agents, Tool API, and AI function calls
  • There is also work underway for integrations using webhooks, for integration platforms that aren't ready to directly support Drupal's orchestration services
  • In his presentation Dries mentioned that they are looking for feedback. Specifically, they would like feedback on what platforms should have integrations available

• Brief description:
  • Have you (or your client) ever wanted to get fewer webform submission emails? Do you like getting emails on a predictable schedule and not any time a user decides to fill out your form?
  • If so, you might want to check out Webform Scheduled Tasks
• Module name/project names
  • Webform Scheduled Tasks
• Brief history
  • Created by mattgill on 22 November 2017
  • It has a 3.0-rc1 release available with Drupal 10 compatibility and is awaiting review of it's automated D11 fixes.
• Maintainership
  • Its last release was in November 2023, but just a month ago I helped get Sean Dietrich approved as a new maintainer, so I'm hoping for a new release in the near future.
  • It has security coverage.
  • Tests exist to test the full functionality of the module and they are passing.
  • There is no standalone documentation, although a README is RTBC'ed. That said, the module page has a straightforward description of what the module does and how to use it, and getting it up and running is very straightforward.
  • Number of open issues: 24 open issues, only 1 of which is a bug against the current branch. I'll also note there are 8 issues that are RTBC, so we should be seeing some fixes forthcoming.
• Usage stats:
  • 817 sites
• Module features and usage
  • Once you enable the module, Webforms will have an additional "Scheduled tasks" configuration screen.
  • You can create a task to email all results or just the results since the last export.
  • Once you enable a scheduled task, you can set a number of options:
  • its next scheduled run and the run interval (in hours, days, weeks, etc)
  • where to email the results, in what format (JSON or CSV), whether to delete submissions after they're sent
  • There's also a RTBC patch to allow you to configure file names to include date-time of export, which can help the recipients keep track of the exports.
  • After that, you just sit and wait for cron to do its thing.
