Episode 505 of Talking Drupal, released on June 2, 2025, features guest Andy Marquis discussing the Custom Field module, including its functionality, differences from modules like FieldGroup, Paragraphs, and Storage, and its compatibility with translation, Views, and JSON API, as well as its suitability for headless Drupal implementations. The episode also examines use cases, limitations, and the module’s development roadmap. Guest host Norah Medlin joins hosts John Picozzi and Nic Laflin, with Martin Anderson-Clutz presenting the module of the week: Facet Bot Blocker.

Developed in March 2025 by John Brandenburg of Forum One, Facet Bot Blocker is currently on version 1.0.2, supports Drupal 10 and 11, and is actively maintained with security coverage and four open issues, including a recently fixed bug. With 106 reported active installations, the module helps reduce bot traffic on faceted search pages by limiting facet request permutations, returning custom errors, and integrating with Memcache or Redis when available, though the project recommends a full Web Application Firewall when possible.
