📑 In his latest post, Michael Strelan provides a modern approach to extend plugin classes in Drupal modules. The original article by Lee Rowlands, published in 2017, became the most popular blog post on our website and a great reference for Drupal developers: Safely extending Drupal 8 plugin classes without fear of constructor changes. With recent improvements in Drupal core and Symfony autowiring, it was time for a 2026 edition, harnessing the power of Symfony's setter injection and the Require attribute. In the post, Michael takes us back in time to how dependency injection has evolved in Symfony and Drupal over the years and introduces a simpler approach available in Drupal 11.4. A great practical update 👉 Read the full post in our blog https://lnkd.in/gB4uU7rz #Drupal #DrupalDevelopment #OpenSource #PHP #Symfony #Drupal11.4

We’ve been diving deeper into what’s possible with GovCMS PaaS, and it’s exciting to see how well it integrates with our Drupal 11 setup. As Adam Bramley explained, the Cancer Australia project really highlighted how flexible and powerful this combo can be. A modern tech stack, streamlined workflows, and a great collaboration all around. He also shared some insights into how aligning GovCMS with our standard Drupal practices made maintenance and iteration much easier.
