The method described there worked (and still more-or-less works), but it's... a mess.
It involves running a dozen or so commands, and is pretty easy to get wrong. All of this is just to get code assembled in such a way that you CAN install it.
I'm happy to announce that you can now do this in just a single command!
There's still some little issues and bugs with running CiviCRM on Drupal 8 that need to be manually worked around, but getting over that first hurdle of simply allowing you to install it in the first place should be significantly easier with this new method.
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. :-)
There are millions of nonprofit organizations and small businesses across the planet: we want all of them using Roundearth! In the screencast below, we'll show what myDropWizard's Roundearth is all about and offer a brief glimpse at what it looks like logged-in.

In the screencast below, I'll show how how you can set-up a public membership directory in Roundearth's CiviCRM! Many organizations have a need to have public visitors see their member individuals or organizations

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.

On May 22nd, the giant CiviCRM Meetup CiviCamp Calgary arrives! What is a CiviCamp you ask? What is CiviCRM? What is Calgary? Why should a Drupaler care?
All will be revealed below, dear reader!

You need a website. You need to send an e-mail newsletter. You need to track (potential) volunteers, donors, or customers. You could use Drupal, Mailchimp and HubSpot. Or you could do it all in Drupal.
We've been using the tools above in our own organization, and we continue to use them. Yet, we've been toying with the idea of moving more of our daily usage to a more Drupal based solution. I'll try to outline some of the pros and cons of each approach. I think you'll see for many organizations the Drupal solution could end-up on the winning side of the decision!
If you're a non-profit volunteer, board member, director, or staff, should you be afraid of using Drupal for your website needs?
There's been a lot of doom and gloom in the Drupal Community with Drupal 8 being more complex than ever! Other "content management systems" (a.k.a. CMS's) have long claimed that "Drupal is hard", "Drupal is expensive".
Is Drupal hard? Is Drupal 8 even "harder"? Is it "too expensive" for your non-profit?
Does Drupal suck at non-profits?
In this article, I take a deep dive, looking at what non-profits need from a website and how well Drupal can provide for those needs.
Read on to see what I think, and PLEASE, share your thoughts in the comments below!
When you're running your non-profit, there is so much to do: basically an unlimited amount of work, right? Board meetings, fund-raising - and then there's the actual world-changing work you signed-up to do!
Our ongoing series of helpful tips (click here to subscribe via e-mail) continues today with some help on how to efficiently manage one of the most common and important aspects of any non-profit: EVENTS.
In this article, we'll talk about how to setup events in Drupal, and at the end, there's a video tutorial showing the process step-by-step.
As part of our series discussing the use of Drupal in non-profits (click here to subscribe via e-mail), we recently reached out to one of our favorite clients, WIEGO, who candidly shared some of their struggles and successes.
Since re-launching their site on Drupal almost 6 years ago, they've grown from a site with 50 static pages, to a searchable, categorized repository of news and knowledge spanning over 22,000 articles!
In this case study, we gain some insights into how organizations like WIEGO decided on Drupal, have lived with some of the growing-pains, and are planning to move forward into the future!
