    • Integrates with Google Tag Manager well.

    •  

  • Homecorner

    •  

  • Acolono

    • Currently working an a Drupal module for legalweb.io - Consent Management Tool. Will require js.

    • Drupal module, that has some consent management functionality without relying on a saas provider: https://www.drupal.org/project/cookies 

    • Maybe a Drupal Core API/hook/module for consent management would make sense. It might be good to have a way to register and enable/disable specific libraries/js on the fly. Also an open database for third party providers including their origin, company and background information would be awesome.

  • Klaus Purer

    • CMP's are slowing down site performance. Compared a dev environment w/out CMP to prod and about a 30 point difference.

• Next Topic: Webforms (Antje)

  • WYSIWYG Editor for the admin pages. Difficult to use the UI.

  • Validation is not done natively by Drupal...

  • Nico had a good story. Open a Webform in one browser (tab) and open the same form in a second browser (tab) and then add data with the 2nd one. Wait for auto-save to run and then close the current tab. Then wait and close the form in the first browser (tab). The auto-save will use the browser tab which is closed last. Thus it overwrites data submitted.

• Last Topic: updating Drupal 7 to 9

  • What is the status of https://www.drupal.org/project/automatic_updates ?

    • Stage 1 is stable.

  • Pritam from opensenselabs.com : Some modules are not Drupal 9 compatible. Waiting on that, so still doing migrations from 7 to 8 for the moment.
