FAQs
Drupal frequently asked questions
Do you support contributed modules?
Yes, we do. Drupal 7 NES includes support for contributed modules. Read more about our Drupal 7 offering here.
For more information on how to install the contributed modules we currently support, see our Installation Methods.
How can I see which contributed modules you currently support?
Using Postman (or a similar program) you can access our registry url https://registry.nes.herodevs.com/composer/repository/packages.json. You will need to authenticate with a bearer token, for this process you would use your NES Access Token.
How do I get Drupal 7 NES?
Our goal with all NES software is to meet the community where they already are. That means obtaining the software from us should be as easy as getting the Open Source equivalent. For Drupal, that means supporting workflows with tools like Composer and Drush, in addition to automated install via the Administration area and manual download/upload from the browser.
What is the Drupal 7 NES License?
HeroDevs provides the Drupal 7 NES Software and updates pursuant to the applicable GPLv2 license, including all rights available under the GPLv2 license.
HeroDevs Subscription Services, and other obligations to our customers, are governed by the Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreement does not restrict any right to use the Software or updates under the GPLv2 license.
The provision of non-permissive software, as part of a subscription service, is widely accepted and can be seen in how Red Hat provides its own solution of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which is also licensed under GPLv2.
How can I verify that I've successfully updated to Drupal 7 NES?
From the UI, you can visit admin/reports/status and see that the installed version is the NES version. We strongly recommend enabling the nes_system module to avoid running into false version warnings.
If you are using drush, you can use drush status and verify that the version it returns is the NES version instead of the standard Drupal version.

Where do I find my access token?
Your Technical Contact receives an NES Access Token during onboarding or at the time of purchase. If your Technical Contact cannot locate your token, contact Support and we will resend it to them.
If you need to change your Technical Contact, reach out to HeroDevs Support. We will explain how to update your contact in our system.
