Drupal 8.x

(Drupal 8 alpha 11)
I created a module that generates a page.
Typing in the URL directly, displays this
generated page.

I would like to create a link to this page,
and have the link be on the home page of the
website.
I want to do this via using a file named:
myModule.menu_links.yml

The file has this in it:

myModule.menu:
title: My Title
description: 'my description'
parent: main <---- what should this be??
route_name: myModule_route

Hi everybody,

I wanted to ask if there is a module that will allow me to put a simple diaporama, or a slideshow, in my front page.
Also, I am very interested in a Calendar that will be changed only by the administrators and that contains events.

I am now working on Drupal 8, but I'll also take the modules that work with Drupal 7, as I am trying to figure out how to upgrade a module.

Thanks!

Hi Everybody,

I am very interested by Drupal and I insist on learning to handle Drupal 8.
But as you all know, Drupal 8 is under development so most of the modules are under construction, because Drupal 8 comes with a very different structure than Drupal 7 (at least that's what I read).

My question is : is there a method to upgrade a module already available in Drupal 7 to be fully or partially functional for Drupal 8?

Thanks!

Hello. This is my first post to Drupal forum :-)

I am worked with the eZ Publish CMS four years. I think about now, I continue with it OR switching to Drupal. eZ Publish has a lot of great features but it is quite heavy CMS. But... if I want to use certain features I need to buy a really expensive Enterprise version.

I am currently working on an iphone app which needs the ability to consume a RESTful API to read (in it's simplest form) a directory of places and present them in a graphical format on the iphone.

Since Liferay will export LAR files - XML L-iferay A-R-chive file, is there anything that will allow me to import them into drupal?
