Some months ago, I started to use PHP 8.0 with Wampserver64 (see https://wampserver.aviatechno.net/ for downloads) and after an update, all local projects started to be very slow, and at the same time I also got "disk full" alerts.

Using the program TreeSize Free (excellent German Program that shows the size of every directory), I located a directory with inflated size : C://Wamp64/tmp

Came across the problem that when I wanted to require a new module using composer (through the console), the module wouldn't install because composer wanted a higher PHP version to do it (the CLI Version is the one used by the console).

Luckily, there is a way to switch PHP versions in the console (if your hoster has installed it)

I found this very useful how-to by ATEN Design Group about how to add SVG icons to Drupal menus. As I was already using the Menu Attributes module, this was a breeze to implement. Thank you ATEN !

I saved the text in case it disappears

I'm using the layout_paragraphs module, and the WYSIWYG functionality does not work nicely because the client side CSS is not applied.

my current trick is to use the module asset_injector and inject the necessary CSS when editing a node.

limit it to /node/*/edit*  and inject your CSS.

I guess it could be even more elegant and automated to import a CSS file containing all CSS applied to content.
I wonder if stylesheets linked from paragraph templates are applied in WYSIWYG or not?

When migrating Drupal websites, it happens that a module has no release that is compatible with the Drupal version, but has a patch that makes it compatible.

Unfortunately, even if patching is active, composer will refuse to install the module

I found the lenient composer plugin, maybe it will work. Still need to test it:

I found this today while searching the web exactly for how to do that, but the answer wasn't very easy to find.

Reproducing here in case the site goes offline.

As this code is from 2018, it should work with Drupal 8, maybe Drupal 8.9, and hopefully with Drupal 9 and 10. I will test when I have time.

Bootstrap Drupal 8 from external script

Found this today while searching for "Drupal stuff"

Reproducing it here so it doesn't get lost.

Are you looking, as I was, for a Blank Theme or Starter Theme for Drupal to build your own theme from it ? Back in the day, CMS provided such themes as such, with a download. This, as many other things, has changed.

Running a php command now generates a blank theme:

Bad luck, I guess, for CMS sitebuilders who don't have a local development environment.

here's a thing I'm panning to do: create a sitebuilder's checklist for installing and configuring new Drupal sites
