Drupal 8.x

Hi all,

Couple of questions:

1: The standard display suite layouts are a bit naff, is a module with provides more layout options? I am working with the foundation theme if this helps.

2: I attempted registering layouts with layout plugin https://www.drupal.org/node/2578731 and followed steps on 'The simplest case'. These look super easy, but, even after clearing all caches, they don't appear to be available when 'managing display'. What could be the cause of this please?

Hi,

I'm new to drupal and recently installed drupal 8 on my webhosting server.
I want to be able to store extra user data in my database such as user measurements, style preferences, etc... But these fields should not be visible during registration, only afterwards while checking their account through a submenu.
I added a new Form display to the user account which has these fields. I can visualize them with a view so that people can check these fields but I have no idea how to make this a custom input form so they can adjust these values.

Thank you in advance!

I've run and re-run migrate-upgrade on a Drupal 6 site, with an impressive amount of success, but with some major (and puzzling) problems.

Specifically, none of the "Date" fields from the D6 CCK nodes are migrating. /upgrade page confirms that date & date.api are "missing upgrade paths".

Has anyone managed to migrate a simple Date field from 6 to 8?

EDIT:

It turns out an issue has been opened on this exact question - https://www.drupal.org/node/2566779

Hello,

For the site I am currently working on, I would really like to have an image for one of the menu entries (the typical flag instead of the word for the language).
I have found infos on how to do this in Drupal 7, but not in Drupal 8. As far as I can tell, this has to be done with hooks, but I have not found a good tutorial on that.

Hi, I have a Drupal 8.0.5 site and I'm using a customized bartik theme, which I've created by simply copying the folder structure of bartik and modifying the necessary files.

What I'm trying to do is have NO content block on my home page, but the regular content for the other Basic Pages I've created.
I've tried to install the Empty Front Page module but it did nothing at all (and yes, I enabled it after installing it).

I have two search areas on my page: in the header and in the sidebar. The header search is used for site-wide searches. The sidebar search is limited to one content type. If I use core search in the header and Custom Search in the sidebar everything works as expected. However, if I use Custom Search in both the header and sidebar, the sidebar search loses the restriction to one content type (even though I have defined it for that instance).
