Custom Search error

By Red2015 on

Hi there,

I have just installed the Custom Search module https://www.drupal.org/project/custom_search and configured to my requirements. However when I add the block to a region, the page once refreshed looks like the stylesheet isn't loading and only loads page elements up to the location of the form. The javascript console displays an '500 server error' message.

Need help replacing db_query to the D8 select way!

By fubarhouse on

Hey guys!

Can anybody tell be specifically what's wrong below?
I've got insert, update and delete working but select is causing some grief...

So I'm trying to return db_query("SELECT * from {mymodule}") which is fine, but I can't switch it over to the Drupal 8 way.
I'd prefer to implement the ->select() method, but I would be equally happy with the ->query() method.

I'm new to Drupal - Need to make a training and assessment site

By LordMikeEsquire on

Greetings one and all!

Before I go spending too much time, I need to make a user portal that then has training programs that users can sign up to and complete each section as seperate pages. Once complete, an assessor can review their work in an attractive layout.

If you can help at all, the issues I have are:

1) How do I create seperate users, especially with Student and Assessor logings. Assessors would be able to review all Students, but Students can only see themselves.

Drupal 8 custom content type templates?

By maxxd on

Hey y'all - I'm new to Drupal, coming from WordPress.

I know this is probably ridiculously simple, and there are articles all over the 'net about template naming conventions in Drupal 8, but it's just not making sense. I created a custom content type called 'Staff Member' (machine name 'staff'); there will be many staff members. I'd like to use a custom template to display single staff member records, so I created a 'node--staff.html.twig' file in the /templates/ subdirectory of my custom theme directory. I've also tried it directly in the custom theme directory.

D8 - per-node permissions?

By davedelong on

Hi everyone, in previous versions of Drupal, I could use the nodeaccess module to give per-node permissions to various users or roles.

How would I do that in D8?
