Drupal 8.x

I am new to Drupal and VDD (had so far been using Joomla). I noticed that VDD creates an Ubuntu virtual box. I already have a dedicated server using Debian Jessie (Debian 8.2). From my Google search, Debian is the recommended server operating system for ISPConfig.

Is there a way for me to get VDD to create a Debian Jessie (8.2) virtual box instead of an Ubuntu one ?
If not, how likely is a Drupal site created on an Ubuntu virtual box to work vs. fail on a Debian server ?

Hi, Just wondering if there's someone that can help me. Is there a feature where someone can submit content that is then sent for approval to another user? I've read about workbench, but that's not currently ported on 8 and not sure if there are plans to do so. Appreciate the help.

I have a block with text fields. Now I would like to iterate through the content of the text fields to style them in a specific way.

When I create a twig file for that block, how can I iterate through the content? {{ kint(content) }} is very confusing and I wasn't able to find the actual field content. So what is the right(best way of doing this task?

Thanks a lot!

Twig allows several different ways to extend templates. But will it let me define a filter to use in regular text areas? For examples, I used to include PHP in various blocks to print the current date with a bit of PHP, but apparently that is a security issue now.

For example, how do I replace <?php echo date("D j M Y") ?> with something like {{date("D j M Y")}} in blocks, or text areas, and have Twig replace it with the date?

Hi I am trying to upgrade from beta15 to beta 16 in drupal 8

I followed the instructions in the upgrade.txt.

When trying to run http://mysite/update.php

I get the error : The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.

If I run php update.php in a shell i get the following error :

InvalidArgumentException: The URI 'http://:' is malformed. in Drupal\Core\Url::fromUri() (line 298 of /var/www/html/dr8acq/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Url.php).

Any idea what's gone wrong here ??

Hello. I have an old Drupal 6 site that I have neglected for some time. Of course I have some upgrade warnings for core and for modules. However, I thought it would be good to re-examine the architecture of the site and start fresh with Drupal 8. The site isn't too complicated at its core, but the problem is I've forgotten which installed modules are essential, and even the basics of the site setup. I'm sure I can familiarize myself with the setup, which is basically a hierarchical arrangement of content types with voting at the lowest level.
