Drupal 8.x

I have a custom module. On its installation I want to set some configuration settings of views like:

ui.show.master_display
ui.show.sql_query.enabled

to TRUE.

For this I have added a file mymod_views.settings.yml to modules/mymod/config/install/. the content of the file is:

I tried to install drupal8 on a centos box, I keep have the issue and can not figure out how I can work it out.

Looking to create a directory website in craigslist style: http://www.craigslist.org (just the front page)

How can I do this? I searched around and there was a craigslist module but its from 2011 and unsupported. I am only looking to create a front page in craigslist style with links to single pages with information.

I created a few new fields under [Administration -> Configuration ->People -> Account settings -> Manage fields] to get a relevant User-Profile.
How can I read this extended user-data (f.e. field_zipcode)?

thx cw

I'm building a custom form for one of my content types. I want to be able to import some of the existing fields and save out the node programmatically.

On drupal 7 I always used the field_attach_form function to do this for me. It looks like that function has been removed in Drupal 8. Can anyone give me some pointers on how I can do the same thing and include fields from a content type in my custom form?

I've scoured the internet looking for this all day, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I've read the documentation on porting a D7 module for D8. All the documentation I've found tells you how to port the module so that you get a working module fit for Drupal 8. That would allow someone to create a new Drupal 8 site, and use the module.

But that doesn't help the person who has a Drupal 6 or Drupal 7 site using the relevant module version, who wants to migrate their site to a Drupal 8 instance. I've not yet found anything that tells you where to put the code to make sure that the settings / configuration for the Drupal 7 module get brought across.
