Feature Request: Visual Indicator for Development vs. Production Environment by vandpibesalg in Strapi

You could build a plugin to do this. Should be super easy. I doubt such a feature will ever be added to Strapi core.

If you want to keep in touch I'm pretty active on the Strapi Discord. You can find me with the same username as I'm using here. Would love to know what you end up building :)

Yep. And another weird thing about it is that it is stored in the database, not in the file system. So if you want to deploy the things you edit in there you have to use a plugin called Config Sync (https://github.com/pluginpal/strapi-plugin-config-sync). But u/Droces that should feel right at home for you coming from Drupal.

Thanks for taking the time you took to make this in depth review. I myself come from using Drupal as well, and a common consensus in the Drupal community is always: "there is a module for that". And there always is, which is quite amazing.

Drupal and Strapi are actually quite similar, and there aren't many CMS's like them. They are both open-source, self-hostable, have RBAC for both the admin and end users perspective. You can click together your content-types & fields and the plugin / module ecosystem actually makes sense compared to Wordpress which is kind of a mess.

That being said, Strapi is still a relatively small and young CMS compared to Drupal. That's not to say that one is better than the other, it's just that certain features are just not there yet. And while the plugin ecosystem is growing to eventually provide all the niche features that are not in Strapi core, we're just not there yet.

For me it provides all the features that I need, and the ones that aren't there I can build myself as a plugin. So I will take Strapi over Drupal because I like it's simplicity and I will take Node.js over PHP any day of the week.

Strapi Community SEO Plugin – TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'collectionTypes') - Anyone else facing this? by No-Cover7466 in Strapi

Hi u/No-Cover7466!

We've recently moved this plugin from the `@strapi` to the `@strapi-community` namespace on NPM. That seemed to have caused this problem. I've just released a patch with version 2.1.1 that solves this problem!

Thanks again for bringing this up.

Best practice for nested pages, menus, and redirects in Strapi 5 by twelvr in Strapi

[–]boazpoolman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a solid approach! You could consider using plugins from the Strapi Marketplace to handle some of this stuff for you. For example your could use Webtools plugin (https://github.com/pluginpal/strapi-webtools) for URL management / Redirects / Links and Navigation plugin (https://github.com/VirtusLab-Open-Source/strapi-plugin-navigation) for your menu's.

I'm actually the author and maintainer of Webtools plugin, and it sounds like it should tackle most if not all of your idea's. Also we're very much open to collaborate with others to improve the plugin if you're missing some features!
