We're Drupalers who only recently started digging deep into CiviCRM and we're finding some really cool things! This series of videos is meant to share those secrets with other Drupalers, in case they come across a project that could use them. :-)

In the screencast below, I'll show how how you can set-up a new Campaign in Roundearth's CiviCRM! The thing about campaigns is that until there is activity, there isn't much to see, but we have to start somewhere! So, here we setup a campaign.

Watch the screencast to see how to use a Campaign with Roundearth:

Some highlights from the video:

• Set-up a new Campaign Type
• Set-up a new Campaign
• Send a Mailing attached to a Campaign!

In the screencast below, I'll demonstrate the new demo of Roundearth! Roundearth is our Drupal 8 + CiviCRM Distribution.

Watch the screencast to see the progress so far on the Roundearth project:

Some highlights from the video:

• Drupal 8.5
• CiviCRM + Bootstrap based Shoreditch theme

When we originally announced that we'd be providing Drupal 6 Long-Term Support, we committed to supporting our customers until at least February 2017.

Each year in the spring, we've taken a look at the state of Drupal 6 and decided whether we'll extend support for another year, and if we need to make any changes to our offering. Here's the articles from 2016 and 2017, where we announced support until at least February 2019.

Today, I'm happy to announce that we'll be extending our Drupal 6 Long-Term Support until at least February 2020!

While I'm sure there will come a time, when it no longer makes business sense to pour resources into Drupal 6 for the few remaining sites, however, it's already clear to us that there's enough demand to one more year.

However, this time is a little different because PHP 5.6 will reach the end of its security support in December 2018 (8 months from now).

We can't responsibly provide Long-Term Support for Drupal 6, if there isn't a PHP version that you can securely run it on.

So, this year we're making some bigger changes to the program and to Drupal 6 itself!

Read on to find out more!

Today, there is a Critical security release for Drupal core to fix a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability. You can learn more in the security advisory:

Drupal core - Critical - Remote Code Execution - SA-CORE-2018-004

This issue also affects Drupal 6 (although, less severely than Drupal 7 or 8). So, we're also making a Drupal 6 Long-Term Support (D6LTS) release of Drupal core and the Filefield module.

Drupal 6 core security update

As you may know, Drupal 6 has reached End-of-Life (EOL) which means the Drupal Security Team is no longer doing Security Advisories or working on security patches for Drupal 6 core or contrib modules - but the Drupal 6 LTS vendors are and we're one of them!

This fix is both for Drupal 6 core and the Filefield module. This is because the Drupal 7 & 8 fixes include changes to the core 'file' module, which isn't in Drupal 6 core, but an equivalent fix applies to the Filefield module.

Here you can download:

• The core Drupal 6 patch to fix, or a full release ZIP or TAR.GZ
  
• The Filefield patch to fix, or a full release ZIP or TAR.GZ

If you have a Drupal 6 site, we recommend you update immediately! We have already deployed the patch for all of our Drupal 6 Long-Term Support clients. :-)

If you'd like all your Drupal 6 modules to receive security updates and have the fixes deployed the same day they're released, please check out our D6LTS plans.

Note: if you use the myDropWizard module (totally free!), you'll be alerted to these and any future security updates, and will be able to use drush to install security updates for contrib modules (even though they won't necessarily have a release on Drupal.org).
