Come Meet Us and Greet Us At Web Summit 2017, in Lisbon!

by Adrian Ababei on Nov 06 2017

Just a glimpse at the list of speakers who'll be holding the stage at Web Summit 2017 and we get even more pumped up for it: OPTASY will be there, too! Practically all the titans of the web and... us, a Drupal and web development from Canada, will be at the MEO Arena in Lisbon, Portugal, from the 6th to the 9th of November. 

As you can guess, we're already counting the days, literally overwhelmed with excitement!

For it's not "just" leaders in the tech industry who'll gather in sunny Lisbon (Fortune 500 companies and wildly successful start-ups), but "the world's most disruptive technology companies". Leading “minds” and global tech innovators!

And innovation is our own driving force as a company!

It's what helped us grow from a pure web development company into a full-service software provider.

It's our very own “guilty weakness” for emerging technologies the real “culprit” for OPTASY's transformation, over these years (since 2005), from a Drupal solutions provider into a company specialized in full-cycle projects.

We now handle all the phases of complex web projects, ranging from:

 

  • site/app structure planning
  • to custom modules development
  • to creating new functionalities from scratch
  • to theming
  • and post-launch maintenance & support

     

All the talent and energy that we've gathered in our team, over these years, all the creative minds that came on board, speak best of OPTASY's efforts to create a culture of innovation in-house.

And from all the innovation “addicts” (each one in its own field) in our team, it's Serge Karpiuk, our Head of Sales, Business Developer and Drupal Consultant, who'll be packing his bags for Lisbon (lucky guy!)! We, the rest of the “mortals” at OPTASY can't but secretly “envy” him and... relax. For we're 101%  that:

 

  • he'll be “absorbing” and mentally storing EVERYTHING; no groundbreaking news or announcement, no powerful tips or high-impact information shared during the talks will “escape” him (and don't worry, we're not selfish: we'll be sharing all the highlights with you right here, on our blog)

     
  • he's the perfect embodiment of OPTASY; in order words: in case you'll be attending the Web Summit 2017, too, you'll instantly get a clue of how we are as a company: open to change, open to ongoing learning, open to people (and he definitely is, so don't be shy to come out to him), highly passionate about what we do.

Drupal 10 Is Here -Discover the Benefits and Features

Drupal 10 Is Here -Discover the Benefits and Features

  Drupal 10, the latest version of the most popular content management system Drupal is here. The new release comes with a lot of improvements and features that will make your life easier as a developer or site owner. "Drupal 10 includes many new features that appeal to developers and content creators alike. A stronger developer and site builder experience combined with easier content authoring and editing make this a key update for all users," says Dries Buytaert, Founder and Project Lead of Drupal. "The path from Drupal 9 to 10 is easier than ever, so we anticipate organizations will want to move to the latest version quickly to gain its benefits." In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the main benefits and features of Drupal 10.   Enhanced content editing experience CK Editor 5 is the new rich-content editor for the new version of Drupal. It has lots of new features that will make creating content more accessible than ever before. Drupal's popular web-building platform, Layout Builder, has been updated with some major changes. These changes include an improved user interface, which includes a new layout editor. Managing large blocks of content in the sidebar can be difficult and confusing; that's why improving this user interface has been on the list of upgrades, and it makes managing layouts so much easier.  There are also some enhancements to the Paste From Document feature. The new version of CKEditor boasts the ability to remove the extra markup that results from pasting from Microsoft Word or Google Docs, and it also automatically uploads images when pasting images copied from the clipboard instead of just inserting them into the page as tags.   Removed modules & improved content management experience Built on the latest Symfony 6.2 version, Drupal 10 has removed redundant core modules, focusing on its foundational strengths. Regarding upgrading processes and tools, they are the same as the previous major release. Drupal 10 has the majority of its code changes automated and three times as many contributed extensions as the previous version.   New themes with better functionality Claro theme is replacing the outdated Seven theme, which has been discouraged by giving the impression of an out-of-date site. Drupal 10 has been built according to the latest standards and has been adapted to use the most recent features of this CMS. The Olivero theme is Drupal 10's new front-end theme, and it was designed to harvest the new system's full capabilities.   Upgrading to Drupal 10 If you're currently using Drupal 7, you need to perform a full site migration to Drupal 9 or 10. It might sound overwhelming, but if you opt for a team of experts like Optasy to help you, you'll be in good hands.  If your current version of Drupal is 8, then there’s no direct upgrade path to Drupal 10. You need to upgrade to Drupal 9 first. Drupal 9 users need to take the following steps: Perform an environment readiness check through the Upgrade Status Module. Update any modules that need upgrading and use Drupal Rector to fix incompatibilities. Issues that can't be fixed automatically can be addressed manually using documentation. Update Drupal Core to Drupal 10.   Drupal 10 promises to deliver a faster, more secure, and more flexible website development experience. If you want to learn more about this new version or need advice regarding your migration, don't hesitate to contact Optasy.    Photo credit: Unsplash.... Read more

How The Project Update Bot Has Been Refreshed for Drupal 10

How The Project Update Bot Has Been Refreshed for Drupal 10

  Drupal 10 will be released on December 14th, 2022. The upgrade process from Drupal 9 to Drupal10 will be even easier than Drupal 8 to 9 was. Making projects that are already compatible with Drupal 9 compatible with Drupal10 requires removing deprecated API uses, which means that you'll have to remove them from your code. There are usually only a few deprecated API uses per module, but when we consider upgrading over 8,200 Drupal 9 modules on drupal.org hundreds or thousands of hours from our community could be spent on this task. The good news is that Drupal Rector is a tool developed by Palatir.net and Pronghorn Labs. that can be used by developers who want to make their modules compatible with Drupal 10. It can also be used to automatically fix deprecated API uses in existing projects. Using Drupal Rector is easy, but running it on all Drupal 9 projects could have taken hundreds of developer days to complete. Drupal Rector is an automated tool that generates patches for contributed modules. These patches will be made available to the community through the Drupal Association which has partnered with Acquia and Palantir. This means that developers will not need to write any code to upgrade their modules to Drupal 10. Instead, they will simply apply the patch. However, for some modules, it may still be necessary to manually replace deprecated API uses. This bot is not affiliated with any individual or company. It is a tool that will automatically post updates to issues created by the Project Update Bot. These updates will be posted to issues that were created during the Drupal 8 to 9 migration. Maintainers are encouraged to review the patches and provide feedback if they feel the patches are useful. If the project maintainers decide to use these patches, then they can help speed up the update process for modules for Drupal 10 dramatically. Related: Drupal 10 New Features and How to Prepare Your Migration.   Maintainer Options There are several ways to deal with these issues when maintaining a project: Leave the issues open and apply the provided patches to remove some or all of the deprecated APIs. The Project Update Bot checks weekly if Drupal Rector can remove new deprecated APIs and posts a new patch if possible, so you don't need to worry about it. If you would like to use this issue as a starting point please remove the "ProjectUpdateBotD10" tag from the issue. The bot will not post any updates if this tag is present. You can add the tag back and the update bot will start posting updates again. If you see an issue that is closed, please don’t reopen it. Closing an issue stops the bot from posting new issues. You can also flag the issue if you think it should be reopened.   For more information and support regarding your Drupal migration, please contact us and get in touch with our team of Drupal experts.      Photo credit: Unsplash. ...
