#eecms — Public Fediverse posts

Six years ago I inherited the Virginia Wine Expo website from a trusted colleague. What started as a handoff has turned into one of my favorite long-term partnerships. Mobile-first improvements, events overhaul, ticketing integration, and a lot of work that doesn't show up in screenshots but keeps things running.

New case study on my studio site:

Now that ExpressionEngine can use Twig for templating and Gutenberg for entering content, I think it's the most flexible, most powerful CMS available. #eecms > #cms

I'm impressed with how fast these days ExpressionEngine goes from feature suggestions (formal and casual) to implemented code. That said, I'd love to see more people contributing PR to the code base. #eecms

You might have to be a nerd to fully appreciate this, but regardless, this is seriously the best tech conference trailer video I've ever watched. I'm so excited about this event!

Did you know you can use Coilpack from PacketTide to use Laravel inside your expression site? And you can use any of EE, Twig or Blade templating in ExpressionEngine?

Nice to see @brandon and #CraftCMS folk on Mastodon. Now if we could get more top level #Laravel folk on to Mastodon. Brandon, we only chatted once or twice via email back in the #EECMS days before #pixelandtonic if that is possible.

@Chris @DavidDarnes We used to use Drupal years ago but #ExpressionEngine has everything we want and more and it’s easier to use to boot. The new 7.5 Code Generators will even make templating absolutely trivial.

Not saying Drupal is bad, but #eecms doesn’t get the respect and attention it’s due. Since v5 it’s been rebuilt from the ground up so it’s also really modern. Worth checking out..

Started to migrated my own site from CraftCMS to EEv7. Took about 3 hours to get it mostly complete. Last steps are to import all the entries to their correct channel, and migrate one small plugin/addon. Most likely will do with a small PHP script. Not a complicated site.

I used to be an #EECMS Dev for quite a few years from p-machine to EE v3+. Really great to see the growth in the platform recently, but where do all the devs hang out now?

While folks are looking at my timeline, if anyone has any leads on a job for a CMS-focused (mostly #CraftCMS and #EECMS) full-stack web dev, i am EXTREMELY on the market. (I also do Laravel and i'm great at SQL!) I'm passionate about accessibility and i've been working in the field for decades.

Folks, i think there's a better than 50% chance that my job is going away in early July. So if anyone has any leads on a job for a CMS-focused (mostly #CraftCMS and #EECMS) full-stack web dev, i am EXTREMELY on the market. (I also do Laravel and i'm great at SQL!) I'm passionate about accessibility and i've been working in the field for decades.

Any tutorial/tip on how to bypass or customize generic confirmation pages of email module on #eecms?
