Hi everyone,

I need to set up a (simple) new site.
I have some experience in Drupal 6 but since it's EOL. I assumed it'd be better to start in D8 directly.
I'm trying to get on top of it but to be honest, it doesn't seems to be as intuitive anymore as D6 was.
I'm really struggling here. :(

Ok, without whining further, can I use a drupal6 module in Drupal8 because there seems to be no 'easy' way to set up a simple fotoalbum in D8? (like image galery/image import in D6)
I don't want to deal with views or fields or styles or content types or whatever...

D6 - Procedural
D8 - OOP

No. Otherwise logic would seem to dictate that the project would have a D8 version of it listed if it was in any way backward compatible.

I feared for it, but hey, I'll leave a few days and start again my search with a clean head. I'll find a way. Thanks anyway for the answers. (I'm probably too old and old school so I still try thinking in procedures) :P

There are plenty of image gallery solutions available for D7 and D8.

There are also nice D7 and D8 image gallery solutions built into distribution products like the www.morethanthemes.com products and so on.

Just want to point out that Views shouldn't be avoided as it is definitely the easy way of doing almost anything. Views slideshow also works for D8 which makes it even easier. If you have any questions about how views works feel free to ask. All you have to do is make a content type with an image field, create some content of that type and upload the images you want, then make a slideshow type view that displays that field from everything of that content type.
