Drupal 8.x

I'm trying to create a subtheme of Bartik following these instructions: https://www.drupal.org/forum/support/post-installation/2016-02-16/drupal...

I created info.yml as described in that thread, named the subtheme "allgaeu", copied libraries.yml from bartik and appended

Hi,

I'd like to add a field on a form on the frontend of my site to allow logged in users to upload audio and video files to a private directory. This would be similar to the standard "youtube upload" button.

I've added the "video" module which I thought would give me this option to add on a form, but it appears to allow upload of a file from the backend, and not front.

Any assist would be gratefully appreciated.

I'm redesigning the search input to be more inline to what DrupalOrg has right now where once you click on it, it expands, etc. I personally like that and think it's pretty cool. So I'm trying to add it to my personal website (using my own visual aesthetics, colors, etc.).

My question concerning Drupal 8 however, is this: What might be the best way to use any custom JavaScript that might only pertain to the search form and or the elements that surround it? (Talking about Drupal 8 standards here where JavaScript assets are organized and injected into contexts.)

When I started I had Drupal 8.1.7 installed and tried to update to 8.4.3 but a 500 error.  So I restored my site back and update to the next incremental minor Drupal security updates up to 8.3.1 where I notice things were not looking right.  My last stable update is 8.2.8 and when updating to 8.3.1 using update.php through the GUI I got a message that referenced serialization and gave me this link https://www.drupal.org/node/2837696.

Ive followed the documentation (!) to define a new field type but generates error below on declaring field for content type. Drupal 8.4/PHP71

Fatal error: Cannot declare class Drupal\nutritioninfo\Plugin\Field\FieldType\nutritioninfoFieldType, because the name is already in use in /home/myhost/public_html/drupal_console/modules/custom/nutritioninfo/src/Plugin/Field/FieldType/nutritioninfoFieldType.php on line 0

The field type is listed below.
