On January 15, 2025, the global Drupal community celebrated a historic event with the official launch of Drupal CMS, a tool designed to simplify and accelerate the creation of high-impact websites. At Seed EM, experts in Drupal development, we are excited to explore the possibilities this new solution offers to transform digital content management.

Initially known as Drupal Starshot, Drupal CMS positions itself as the perfect solution for projects seeking fast and efficient implementation without the need for complex custom development. This system complements Drupal Core, the standard for large-scale projects and advanced customization.

At SeeD EM, as Drupal experts and a silver partner of the Drupal Association, we understand that our company’s growth is intrinsically linked to the development and evolution of the Drupal community. For this reason, we have integrated active contribution to this ecosystem as a fundamental part of our internal plan and project. Every Friday afternoon, our production team dedicates time to various tasks that strengthen the Drupal community, covering:

Drupal has proven to be a key platform in digital transformation due to its flexibility, robustness, and customization capabilities. More than just a CMS, Drupal is a development framework that allows organizations to create both websites and advanced web applications, thanks to its modular architecture and extensive API. This makes it an ideal choice for complex projects that require specific and scalable solutions.

Why is Drupal a leader in digital transformation?

• Extensibility and Customization: Drupal offers a highly flexible platform where functionalities can be added and modified through custom or existing modules. This capability allows the CMS to adapt to the specific needs of each project, from corporate portals to e-commerce platforms or government sites.

When building a content-rich website, it’s often necessary to control when certain content appears based on specific dates or date ranges. Whether you're managing events, promotional content, or time-sensitive announcements, the ability to automate content display can save you time and effort.

That’s where the Multi Dates Picker module comes into play. This Drupal module offers an efficient way to manage content visibility based on customizable date settings. In this post, we'll explore how the module works, its key features, and how it can simplify content management for your Drupal site.

If you are ever working with code in Drupal and encounter the typical message, "The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later," it’s a sign that there’s a bug. However, there’s no way to know exactly where it occurred, and it's tedious to go back and forth trying to find it manually. Drupal has an error level manager to help display errors.

The following tip is a trick developers can use to make the most obvious errors visible.

All you have to do is copy the following code.

And paste it into the "settings.php" file of your Drupal installation.

In some situations, we need to manage the structure of the fields in a custom form; this management makes it easier for the Frontend to style the form structures. So, if what we want is to render or display each specific field of a form in a custom TWIG template, these are the steps:

For this example, we'll use a dummy module: modules/custom/example_fields_form

Creating the module example_fields_form.info.yml:

type: module
name: example_fields_form
description: 'some description'
core: 8.x

With our module in place, we need to create a routing file, which will be responsible for calling and executing our form with a basic content access requirement. To do this, we will create the file example_fields_form.routing.yml:

In today’s digital world, document validation has become a key aspect of security in various sectors. From financial services to e-commerce, ensuring that uploaded documents are authentic and accurate is crucial for the safety of transactions and compliance with legal regulations. Enter Amazon Image ID Scan, a contributed module for Drupal that leverages Amazon Rekognition's powerful image analysis capabilities to authenticate user-uploaded documents directly within your Drupal platform.

What is the Amazon Image ID Scan Module?

In the realm of digital transformation, Drupal has emerged as a robust and versatile platform capable of supporting the creation of personalized and scalable digital experiences. However, Drupal's true value is only revealed when implemented by experts who deeply understand its architecture and can tailor its capabilities to meet the specific needs of an organization. This is where SeeD EM shines as a true leader in Drupal development, offering a comprehensive approach that includes Design, UX/UI, information architecture, and advanced web service integration capabilities.

In the vast field of human knowledge, few disciplines have advanced as rapidly as computer science. We have created programming languages, abstract tools that, in essence, serve as a bridge between our minds and the machinery we build. Among these languages and systems, two names stand out in our time: Drupal and Python. What can we expect from their interaction in the realm of artificial intelligence?

Drupal: The Architect of Information

Imagine Drupal as a modern library, where each book is a piece of content, perfectly categorized and accessible. Its modularity makes it an unparalleled tool for managing knowledge, adapting to human needs that rarely settle for simplicity. With its flexible structure, Drupal enables the creation of knowledge portals where every bit of information is in its correct place, accessible to any mind that requires it.
