Want to help CiviCRM integrate with Drupal8 (or Backdrop or WordPress)? Want a winter getaway and a chance to go skiing? Hey, you can have both!

Come join us for the CMS-Integration Sprint in Vail, CO Jan 30 to Feb 4 2016.

Big thanks for Nicolas Ganivet at CiviDesk for sponsoring this event and generously donating the venue!

We'll be working on:

  • Integrating CiviCRM with Drupal 8
  • Porting our Drupal integration to also support Backdrop CMS
  • Improving WordPress integration and our presence in the official WP plugin repo.
  • Writing documentation (a great task for non-coders).

Sign up here.

Can't attend in person? We'll also be organizing a virtual sprint to allow you to participate remotely (sorry, virtual skiing not available).

Regarding Drupal8 integration:  Many people on Drupal7 use the module "webform_civicrm", but the base webform module has not been ported to Drupal 8 yet.  Curious as to the CiviCRM community's thoughts on how to address advanced form building needs for Drupal8 and other CMS systems. (https://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=36935.0)  

It's looking like the Drupal Webform module will be ported to D8 after all. So we ought to be able to get webform_civicrm ported as well. Might be able to make headway on that during the sprint depending on the state of the Webform port.

That said, there are some exciting developments coming in CiviCRM 5.0 for advanced form building that doesn't depend on the cms.

Podarok said in webform's issue queue that he would pick up webform D8 development, but his subsequent questions suggested he was not familiar with the webform vs eform issues, and therefore might not actually need webform. As he hasn't posted since then, I'm not optimistic he will do the work, which the maintainer estimated at something huge like 1000 hours. It seems webform D8 may never happen.

Where can one sign up for the virtual sprint? Presumably there's no food fee for that :)

How to sign-up for the virtual sprint?

Does 4.7.0 work with D8 yet? I tried on platform.sh but had trouble.

Thanks.

I can't seem to get back on irc.

Hope you guys are making good progress.

Let me know if I can help in any way.
