I followed the tutorials and created a simple chess module for Drupal 8. Now I'm wondering how to include the page in the drupal installation. I already included the chess module in the modules folder, and checked chess on the configuration page. But now I'm stuck. How do I get the page returned by the controller to actually show up on a Drupal page? Thanks in advance for any guidance.
You should create a custom block within your module, then use the Block Layout screen to place that block in the relevant region, you can then adjust the block settings so it only displays on a certain page. So I'd probably just make a basic page, then place the block on it.

I’m kind of new to custom Themeing in D9. While I have been able to success fully:
Create html markup
Create required D9 files and successfully called css and JS and ofcourse defined regions.
Successfully created templates for about 5 pages.
Everything seems to be working fine but when I try to login from a different browser as an admin using /user, the html.html.yml file gets loaded instead..I.e I only see index page coming up..
Not sure why.. A little guidance on how this is handled would be really really helpful.
I am building site in Drupal and I need your help. I have an assignment to make one more language translation of the site, and so far so good. However, I have one trouble with one block which isn't going to get translated, even though in the settings I translated it.
Also one strange activity I noticed is that when I try to go to VIEW section of all the other languages, I get dropped to front page (where that block is actually located) but if I press VIEW from my language translation (Swedish) of the block I get to completely new page.
If I go to front page and my language is selected, that block is actually using default language.
Any help what may cause it?
For desire url aliasing you need to install pathauto drupal module. then you can configure alise from below url
admin/config/search/path/patterns
OK, I have found a solution to this problem.
It appears that Drupal 7 by default sets your new language homepage to the default homepage and that's why this block was using default language since it was relying on the front page. Anyway, to fix the issue follow the steps:
Login to adming account, go to Configuration, System, Site Information and in the field Default front page for the language you have chosen navigate to your specific node page. That's it.
I am testing out DNN 8 and am using the blog app and content management from 2sxc (great module, BTW!).
I have the recent blog post listed on a page sub-directory called '/articles'. But I also wanted some of them listed on the home page as well. When I add the app or module to the home page the url is '/home/post/post-title-here' while on the /articles page the urls are '/articles/post/post-title-here'. This creates the illusion that I have two directories with duplicate blog posts (which probably will get me some dings for SEO for duplicating the same content).
How do I get the app to use the common directory '/articles' regardless of where I put the module/app on the site? I've looked at settings all over and don't see anything that pops out at me. Also not sure if this is a DNN setting or a setting specifically to the extension. Finally, I'd like to be able to keep the year/date/month parts of my url as well as they were on the old site. I assume making that change would probably be similar with the solution to my original question. If that's a different fix, then let me know and I'll put it into a new thread. Thanks in advance!
This question is basically about the blog-app. Now if I understand you correctly, your question is "Can I have multiple lists on various pages, but all of them still link to my main details page". The answer is yes, but the exact solution depends a bit on what you need.
So basically there is a setting in the app-settings to define the main page. I believe it's empty by default, so that the blog-app works automatically without you having to configure anything. But AFAIK if you set that, all blog-details-links will use that as the only source.
I'm using Views in Drupal to show node teasers. I would like now to show the complete node on the left side of my page, nearby the Views, and update it when the user click on a different teaser (better using AJAX).
what's the best method to implement it. I was considering to use a lightbox, but it a bit complex (a lot of complications... such as parsing the content with javascript again.. etc).
See screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/72686/viewsAndNode.png
Thanks
A quick and dirty approach would be to use an iframe to hold the node content. Users would then be able to switch between nodes without reloading the page, which is I assume your goal. I don't think there is away to achieve what you are trying to do with views out of the box. Have you looked into using panels?
Here's what might be a clean way to do it, of course in drupal there's always many ways to accomplish things.
Providing the content for the ajax call
Install the services module
Setup a service that provides your node as you want it to be displayed
Create the placeholder for your content
Install the Panels Module
Create a empty fixed width panel to contain the node you want to load
Load the view into an adjacent panel
In your controlling view
Add a PHP view header and use (drupal_add_js('script.js')) to add a custom js file to the page. or add this to a custom module, or even your theme.
Re-Write your view node links to help put the js events together
Setup your javascript events
Use add_js to add a custom javascript js file to the page
In the custom js add an event to the view links that will poll the services module and load the node into the placeholder panel
I've solved using the lightbox, and just removing the html code I don't need from the node template with php if the parameter "lightbox=true" is passed with the link.
It's perhaps a common task to create a subsection on site, which will reside under sitename.com/subpath.
The subsection will contain own menu with a few links (Calendar view, Add MyEvent content type form, Table View).
But clicking these links will lead out of this /subpath.
Is there a know solution for this (to stay in subsection)?
Or it's normal to use custom code to manage such a subsection, e.g. create pages under /subpath with custom PHP code that will load CCK forms (drupal_get_form())?
Also, is it a tolerable solution to modify from "View links to node forms" to "View links to /subpath pages with programmatically created node forms"?
I'm not sure I completely understood your question - if I didn't and I'm off-topic, I apologize in advance.
Anyway:
Creating pages with code in them using PHP filter, is never accepted practice. There's a reason why the filter was moved to its own module in 6.x - so you can turn it off altogether.
You can go to Site building->URL aliases->Create alias and point the wanted system paths (say, node/add/mycontent) to your subsection path (say, mysection/add/mycontent). All the links to the system path should change to the new alias.
EDIT:
Also, check out pathauto and Sub-path URL Aliases for paths like node/1 and node/1/edit
