Drupal 9 tricks

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:

https://www.drupal.org/project/ld_json_schema

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.

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

thanks to Droptica for this introduction:

situation: building a subtheme of a subtheme, and need to override a library that was already overridden in the first subtheme.

there is a bug in library overrides, see https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2642122

the answer is in reply #18 of that issue thread (thank you Jacine)

to achieve a neat responsive grid of equal width view row items, just use the following CSS on div.view-content :

   display: grid;
   grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(300px, 1fr));

done.

note for later: when adding a new paragraph view mode, it's necessary to activate it in the paragraph type settings (EDIT PARAGRAPH TYPE)

Downloading and installing libraries for every new site is a PITA.

So I've spent an hour today with trial and error to find out how libraries can be installed with composer.

Results: there are three things to do in composer.json

I want to preserve this Drupal 9 trick incase it disappears.

If you have already have fontawesome in your theme, like I have in D8W3CSS custom subtheme, you don't need to install fontawesome, you just need to add this menu preprocess function to your themename.theme file:

use Drupal\Core\Render\Markup;

/**
 * Implements template_preprocess_menu().
