We’ve had a bit of downtime on the site as I was updating Drupal. I figured I’d just jump ahead to Drupal 11, but I first had to update to 10.3.6. I did that and then went through the long process of getting things ready for Drupal 11, only to discover that I need MySQL 8, which my provider currently doesn’t have, despite a post back in January saying they were in the process of making the update. (Must be a long process.) Anyway, I then had to revert back to 10.3.6 and run with that. Once that was done, I had to sort out some of my changes that were lost, and because they don’t like you editing the core themes directly, I finally got a functional subtheme up and running and then got a lot of my intended appearance changes applied. I’ll probably do some more refinement in the future, but I’ve already gotten pretty close to what I want.

I’m now developing a navigation sidebar for my stories. I was hoping to get it to work in the blocks, but it doesn’t look like the current structure supports a sidebar on the left, so I’m thinking about just adding the code to each chapter. That’ll be a lot of work, and it’ll be a pain if there are changes I need to made, so I may want to think on it a little more. I’ll sort it out. Anyway, I thought I’d share the goings-on behind the scenes. Now, if only I can make more story progress… Stay tuned.
