I'm developing a platform for Drupal 8 where there are several account types: students, their parents, teachers.
The students are young and we want their accounts associated with their parents' emails for security reasons, and there are cases where the parent has two or more students on the system. Also, each parent and student will have logins to their own areas.
So I need to be able to create student accounts where the email address is not required to be unique. Is this possible in Drupal 8? How would I go about it?
we are currently looking into CMS alternatives for the near to mid future with a very strong focus on easy content authoring / editing.
We pretty much like the editor weblication ships with, is something this flexible possible with Drupal when using Panels?
There are some pictures on the - sadly only german - documentation: Weblication Documentation
I am trying to create a field type that has 2 textfields and an image upload field where the image is not required.
I tried extending the ImageItem but now the only way to submit the field form is by uploading an image. Additionally, this field has cardinality unlimited and the only way of adding new items is to upload an image so the FileItem code triggers the display of new item.
I am searching for ways of submitting the form without necessarily adding an image.
Here's my situation. I am sort of a non-technical web developer. I have used Drupal for a number of years. But I do not have the technical savvy to develop my own modules (for example). I use what is available.
Now after taking a break from Drupal for a couple years. I NEED to develop several web sites over the next 1 - 3 months. My preference would be to begin IMMEDIATELY. However, I need advice about getting started.
In the Drupal 8 theme guide the definitions of breakpoints is quite good covered - but it seems like its lacking how to use them, or perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.
I have taken a great interest in drupal 8, since it is built on components from symfony and the introduction of twig is just awesome!!! But I have been checking on the critical issues in beta and it seems stuck on 40. I can't wait to use in production but stuck in lymbo. Please shade some light on why it is taking so long to have the first stable version?
