My last three weeks has been discovering:

Entity::label() is not translation aware.
Entity::isPublished() is not translation aware.

You only get translations for free when you render the whole entity.

You pass a render array, Entity::label() is *always* in the default lang. Running ::label() through t() doesn't work either, because there are *two* translation modes -- content and interface -- and t() only works on the latter. If you have entities, you need to bring in LanguageManager.

This is a wild thing to write after you did the following actions:

- Demanding that WP Engine and/or Silver Lake pay 8% of their revenues back to the project as part of WordPress’ “Five for the Future” initiative, a request that many viewed as extortionate.

- Prohibiting WP Engine employees from updating WP Engine-owned plugins on the WordPress plugin repository.

- Adding a checkbox to the WordPress.org login screen that made users declare that they were not “affiliated with WP Engine in any way”.

- Kicking WP Engine employees off WordCamp organizing teams and barring WP Engine from sponsoring WordCamps.

- Wresting control of WP Engine-owned plugins in the WordPress plugin repository.

- Kicking WP Engine employees off of the WordPress community Slack team.

- Blocked any website hosted on WP Engine from the automatic and easily accessed core, them, and plugin update process that sites on any other hosting provider enjoy.

This is just classic narcissist behavior. You attempted to exploit the relationship you had with Wordpress and the community with a wild sense of entitlement. You became obsessively competitive with a company that had peacefully coexisted alongside yours for years and years. Now that you have lost interest in the initial competitive action (because it was a stupid idea), you are attempting to blame shift and create a false narrative that you are the victim here because your actions have consequences.

The correct answer is to resign. Do it with a community-involved transition plan, make it very celebratory, try to bring the good vibes back. You are out of control and clearly lack a corporate structure that has anyone capable of reigning you in. You made an unhinged attempt at shaking down another company and, like many narcissists, you cannot process that just because you've lost interest in the initial actions that kicked off this chain of events, that isn't sufficient.

New! Drupal 11: Building A Link Directory: Part 1

This is the first part in a series of articles looking at creating a link directory in Drupal.

In this article Phil goes through how he set up the link directory in Drupal, how links are added, and how the site is able to take screenshots of the links as they are added to the directory.

Hello Mastodonors!

I would very much value your opinion on #hosting small(ish) #drupal sites. I’ve built a little platform that can do the heavy lifting of provisioning and deployment, but am trying to figure out if there’s wider interest out in the Drupal world for this sort of thing.

Drop a response on https://twosmallclouds.com if you’d like to be involved, let your thoughts be known or even if you’d like a chat.

Thanking you!

xoxo

The 3 qualities worth practicing resonated with me. 🌟💙

Ten months ago, @dries told me ECA was at maybe 1% of what it could be.

Today I'm publishing the story of what happened next: Post 1 of a 9-part series on the Vienna → Chicago → Athens journey, the UX research that reshaped everything, and the six-week sprint that produced a new Workflow Modeler.
