Drupal 8.x

Currently on drupal 8 geofield I can create a map of locations with custom icons: no problem.  I can also create a map from a kml file.  I cannot do both with the same map.  Is there a way to derive more of the information contained in the kml file?  If I have a kml file that has both polygons (in my case routes) and site locations (with balloons and icons) the only label for each balloon is the name of the node not the name assigned to the point in the kml file.  I'm using google maps to display the map.  

I'm new to Drupal development and created a new very basic custom module similar to what you find here https://github.com/xaiwant/drupal8-block/tree/master/article .

One of my content types includes a taxonomy which allows to choose between a bunch of predefined HTML segments stored in the taxonomy description fields.

Now I would like to access this description field content of the current node from my custom block, but I have no clue how to access the proper variables.

I'm trying to get into more advanced site building and try to build a movie database with Drupal 8 as a learning project. I created three content types: movie, person, and character. Each content type can reference to the other two to set up the necessary relationships. Everything works well, but I'm struggling to set up the relationships correctly in views to reference the relevant items together.

I just created a new install of 8.8 not an update. All looks just fine until I go to either add a module or a theme.

The upload will fail if the files are .ZIP!!! But works fine if they are .TAR

Whats the issue here?????

Many Thsnks as always

Hello, 

My back up and restore drupal 8 site is not working for me. 

1. On source site from cpanel in server 1, i took a backup of the files and the dababase. Here I am not sure whether if I need to do have any specific permission/update on any files. I am also not sure if I need to check for something in settings.php file. 

Settings.php has this:

Allocating 2GB of memory to PHP for composer doing installs of packages was not sufficient if site is running Drupal 8.8.0. I ran some tests and sites which have not yet been upgraded and are sitting back at Drupal 8.7.10 have no problem using composer to install packages with only 256MB of memory allocated to PHP for the site.  The 2GB number came from a shared hosting environment where that is the upper limit of memory which can be allocated to PHP without doing anything special. According to composer documentation, 1.5GB is its internal number. However, things change.
