Drupal 7 will go end-of-life on January 5, 2025
With the end-of-life, security updates for Drupal 7 will cease, leaving your CiviCRM website vulnerable to threats and potentially facing compatibility issues. It's crucial to understand your options and take action to ensure your site's security and functionality.

This blog series aims to expand your knowledge of CiviCRM and its potential for extensions. Each month, we present one of the many extensions we at SYSTOPIA have developed over the years. This month’s feature: The Mailbox Mailing Extension – allowing you to create and schedule CiviCRM mailings without needing to use the CiviCRM user interface.
A huge thank you to Thomas Fastermann of the Schweizerischer Gewerkschaftsbund for contributing to our blog series by writing this month’s release!

Starting with Drupal 8, composer is used to manage web site dependencies and to download packages to the server. A Drupal and CiviCRM website requires 100s of packages to provide the large set of functional components. Composer simplifies the process of determining which versions of packages will all work together appropriately, and fetching all of them and putting them in the right place in the code base.

The default visitor experience of a CiviCRM contribution page with recurring payment options (e.g. "monthly donor") leaves much to be desired. Fortunately, there's an extension for that.

Mass email campaigns are a staple of digital marketing, providing a powerful way to reach a large audience quickly. However, ensuring that your email content resonates with your audience can be challenging. One of the most effective ways to optimise email performance is through A/B testing, a feature that has been core functionality for a long time and is now fully implemented using Mosaico.

CiviCRM Standalone has reached a significant milestone. We are now ready to make the November 5.80 release candidate “the RC” for a first official, stable release of the new Standalone in December.
It’s an exciting prospect, representing lots of work from across the community over the past couple of years. For me personally, getting to this stage has been a key focus of my work on CiviCRM this year.

Most developers in the CiviCRM community are probably familiar with Composer. If not, Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. That's just a fancy way of saying that composer allows codebases like CiviCRM to pull in code (dependencies) from other projects.

We recently experienced a massive slow down in one of our background jobs and tracked down the cause via redis tools to a cache clearing issue. I decided to write up how we tracked it down to share with other developers - but this blog post comes with a geekery warning : the target audience is definitely solidly in the developer space and assumes the reader has a lot of background knowledge.

Card-tumbling, like its evil relatives of automated spam, script kiddies and privacy breaches, is not a problem to be solved, but is a fact of life on the internet.
Recently, new strategies for bad actors means that even if you thought you'd fixed this, you might need to review your defenses.
If you've got a publicly accessible contribution page using an on-site payment processor, there's a good chance that you're a target.

Around July last year, I wrote a blog post about a few user interface changes that might go unnoticed to most (covering versions around 5.55 to 5.65). Here are a few more changes that have been introduced in versions 5.75 to 5.80.
