  • Best Drupal training for developers new to Drupal

    if you have a solid understanding of site building, the last aspect i would focus on is your deployment/devops workflow. This is a large part of drupal projects which often involves pipelines & automated testing. There are varying opinions of the best approach here, but for me, i always use an existing framework to assist - ex: https://github.com/acquia/blt.

  • Acquia cms?

    I advise you, and anyone else reading this, NOT to try fumbling your way through uninstalling Lightning -- there is a specific procedure that needs to be followed. Profile Switcher is part of that procedure, but there are multiple other steps. See https://github.com/acquia/lightning/wiki/Uninstalling-Lightning.
  • Removing acquia lightning without removing the dependency modules?
    1 project | /r/drupal | 28 Sep 2021
    The official Lightning uninstall process does the same overall thing -- it has you remove the distribution, but not the support modules. Only the distribution is being end-of-lifed. See https://github.com/acquia/lightning/wiki/Uninstalling-Lightning
