August 2018 Meetup and future project

Hi all,

Thanks to all those who came yesterday - really enjoyed myself, and hope you all did too!
We discussed a variety of things and had a nice introduction to using GraphQL with Drupal 8 from Eli.

We also decided to crack on with a little project over coming meetup months. We're going to create a JSON API (https://www.drupal.org/project/jsonapi) powered Drupal 8 API and create various front-end applications to make use of the API. We'll demonstrate progress at the meetups and come up with new tasks.

Identifying the right website support

Hello folks

I hope that you won't mind me wandering into your group forum - but I thought perhaps you might be the best people to ask for advice.

I am a sole trader - self employed therapist - with a website created using Drupal a few years ago. I do minor tweaks and additions to keep things up to date (nothing wildly exciting - simple stuff).

My website developers and hosting company are closing down, and I have been given a few weeks to identify another hosting company.

[DCMuc16] Can you smell the gingerbread and hot spiced wine? DrupalCamp Munich 2016 is coming

Hey Drupalistas!
We are just a few blinks away from the DrupalCamp Munich 2016 (31.11.-02.12.2016 CodeSprints @ Burda Media // 03.12.-04.12.2016 DrupalCamp @LMU Munich). As you know, this is our 2nd Camp after the great (and 1st) DrupalDevDays in 2010, and we think we will be great hosts again.

So, it's your part to submit your session prosposals until 14th of november and to be part of the special spirit of a camp with friends, Drupal, PHP, Symfony, beer, a lot of socializing, food, another beer, coffee, code sprints, very special welcome-bags, ...
We are thankful of our sponsors so we have a special prizing for students and WWCode. Please contact us for further information.
We look forward to seeing you at DrupalCamp Munich 2016 and to drinking a mug or two of "Gluhwein" or bavarian beer together.

Greetings from our Team

Solution for x 2 SSL's sitting on same architecture?

Hi

I was hoping someone might be able to help with an issue that I have.

Basically I want two different SSL's (as they belong to two different and independent companies) to sit on my AWS architecture but my architect is trying to tell me this is not possible, which I personally can't quite believe.

The current system has been working perfectly for around 6 months using the x 1 SSL cert, but now I want to use a 2nd SSL cert this is where the problem has raised its head.

Tour De Drupal [Ireland to Amsterdam via UK]

So some people are planning to cycle to Amsterdam for Drupalcon.
https://twitter.com/TourDeDrupal
It's perhaps a little far to cycle all the way from the West of Ireland to Amsterdam, but Gavin is going to give it a shot.
I'm going to cheat just a little, and do the trip with a combination of train and bike. I plan to make my way across England and Wales over 3 days, with a good few train sections thrown in for good measure. We'll meet up somewhere before the ferry at Harwich, and hopefully meet the bigger Tour De Drupal gang along the way too.

The Drupal way to add Div's and Javascript to D7

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could advise me the best way (the advised Drupal way) to add some html and javascript a SSL provider has passed me to pull in their Trust Seal to my site.

Ideally I'd like to add it as a Block but assumed if I pasted the entire contents into a block under 'Full HTML' that perhaps it might not be secure (or certainly might not be the Drupal advised way).

The code has been provided in two ways, either (A) altogether or (B) separated between Java Script and HTML.
