Drupal is an open source content management framework that can be used for developing websites and simplifying online management of content for users. This book is a must-have for web developers who are looking to create professional-grade websites using Drupal 8. While building 7 different Drupal websites, we will focus on implementing the out of the box features that come with Drupal 8 and see how we can make some complex sites with minimal custom code. Focusing completely on Drupal 8, this book will help you leverage the new Drupal 8 features such as creating a different types and layouts of content using configuration to build in core with its built-in web services facilities, and effortless authoring using the new CKEditor with an effortless and efficient industry standard approach.

Summary

From this chapter, we have learned how to harness the power of the core and contrib modules to build our website's functionality.

We have looked at Display Suite and how a simple website layout can be built as well as adding new fields and views into our page, adding a view for our property photos using a contrib module, and showing the properties photos based off a contextual filter.

We also spoke of using views to run the database queries, which in turn allows us to filter our results based off criteria and then expose the form so our users can use the form and change the search results in our view and implementing enhancements for the views filters.

Now in the next chapter we will move onto build an event website using mostly Drupal 8.x core very similar to how most Drupalcon and Drupalcamp event websites are built, this is also reflective of my event distribution...
