In his latest LinkedIn post, software engineer Ajith T., who specializes in PHP full-stack development, recently detailed a challenging Drupal project. Ajith chose Droptica's Droopler starter kit for the project, expecting a streamlined setup. However, he faced difficulties due to confusing documentation and dRUPALa discrepancy in the suggested version of Droopler, which initially extended his setup time by over four hours. After troubleshooting, he successfully configured the project using Droopler version 4.0.0-alpha2 and optimized the setup process to under 30 minutes using DDEV for local development.

In his LinkedIn post, Ajith shared his progress in implementing user management features, utilizing the Webform module for dynamic user entries, and planning to add advanced photo manipulation capabilities using Drupal modules like Image Styles and ImageMagick. His journey highlights the flexibility of Drupal and the benefits of DDEV, serving as a practical case study for other developers in the Drupal community. Ajith looks forward to completing his project by the end of the week and continuing to explore and leverage Drupal's extensive capabilities. Read the full post here.
