I'm trying to build a module that authenticates a user to Drupal based on a HTTP header added by a reverse proxy.
I read that Drupal 8 has a new authentication API, so I initially tried using that. I only half expected it to work, and sure enough, it only half worked: the user was authenticated, but could not submit any forms because (I guess) the CSRF token is linked to a session ID, which they didn't have.
I created a content type and the corresponding view as well. However, the display mode which should have been shown on Content Type level is actually showing at the node level and vice versa.
I'll try to explain, but please ask for further clarification if I'm talking rubbish
I'm trying to consolidate different content types from D6 & D7 into a new D8 system and rationalize the storage requirements at the same time. My thinking is to have a few specific "properties" as a standalone content type that are related to the main node a bit like a polymorphic object, so content type "Master" will have a few attributes that are in common with all variations and then if Master->Type = A pull in content type A, B, C, if Master->Type = B pull in C, D, E and so on.
