What's the best way to implement certain database fields and the bigger philosophical question of how to use Drupal

By God Of Atheism on

There are a few database fields I want and I wonder what's the best way to implement them.

For all of them should I implement them using content types -> manage fields or just add a column in the database?
1. An ID column per table (autoincrement).
2. A global ID over all tables (autoincrement).
3. Creation timestamp (autoset).
4. Modified timestamp. (autoset)
5. Creator (autoset).
6. Modifier (autoset).

White screen when installing a module/theme

By transmitter on

Hello,

I installed a fresh D8 on my local linux machine and added 1 content type and 1 view and one piece of content.
Now I'm trying to install a module or theme - either via the online installer or download it first and select the tar.gz file - both don't work.

Drupal 8 Custom Templates

By donpwinston on

In Drupal 7 I have a web site that makes extensive use of hook_theme and hook_menu. Most of the content is in an Informix database. In the page callback of hook_menu I use the theme() function to pass variables containing data from the database to my custom template defined in hook_theme.

How would I do this or where is the documentation on how to do this in Drupal 8?

With all the complex configuration options of Drupal, the Configuration Management system allows you to keep track of your configuration and move configuration changes between several development environments with ease. Its API allows you to add your own configuration settings within a custom module.

Drupal 8 Configuration Management will teach you everything you need to know about the Configuration Management system and get you started with using its features quickly, whether you are a Drupal site administrator with no programming knowledge or a seasoned developer. Starting at defining what Configuration Management actually means and why you should be using it, the book also covers how site administrators can make the most out of it without any programming knowledge. For more advanced users with programming skills, the book explains how to use the API to add custom configuration and how to upgrade custom modules to use the new Configuration Management. The book also covers some essential tools and best practices.

After reading the book, you will be able to write schema files for custom configurations, make use of the Configuration Management API, and upgrade modules to the new Configuration Management systems. Additionally, you will learn how to migrate configuration from Drupal 6 and 7 to Drupal 8 and how to manage configuration for multilingual websites.
