I am a beginner in Drupal, I would like to insert a value into a node field. But instead of a node->save() I want to avoid any presave hook and insert it directly using sql query. I have the entity_id to insert also in the field_NAME_value column, is this the node id? Or how do I get this? Or is there a way to do a node save without calling presave ? Thanks

I created a simple rest endpoint to test caching and I see the response updating. What is stopping it from being cached?

Here's the rest endpoint code:

<?php

namespace Drupal\nm_base_api\Plugin\rest\resource;

use Drupal\rest\ResourceResponse;
use Drupal\rest\Plugin\ResourceBase;
use Drupal\Core\Cache\CacheableMetaData;



/**

Background

A website I work on has a progress bar that gets an initial value from Drupal, and is then updated to the "correct" value with javascript.

I am writing a test with WebDriverTestBase that should assert both the initial value (before js kicks in) and the updated value (after js run).

Problem

Unfortunately, the test only gives me the html with the updated values. So I cannot assert that the or ...

I've got a view, that needs to set the default value for an exposed filter based on a user entity field. This basically works:

function MYMODULE_views_pre_build(\Drupal\views\ViewExecutable $view) {
  if ($view->current_display !== 'MY_VIEW_DISPLAY') {
    return;
  }
  $exposedFilterValues = $view->getExposedInput();
  if (!array_key_exists('MY_FIELD', $exposedFilterValues)) {
    $personali ...

I'm in the process of setting up a "system" where users can submit their Webforms with accompanying details/files and it gets logged into the Webform>Results>Submissions page. This all works great.

What I'm having an issue with, is taking specific submissions from the full list and forwarding those select few to a specific email address that I indicate (somehow). This email address will va ...

After upgrading from Drupal 8.9 to Drupal 9.3, I get this fatal error when I run the database updates. The remaining updates aren't executed. It looks like the Multiversion Uninstall command needs to be run, but it's not installed.

The admin toolbar uses JavaScript to apply padding to the top of pages using Drupal.toolbar.views.toolbarVisualView.updateToolbarHeight().

Unfortunately, it seems this doesn't run properly when you visit a page in the shortcuts menu and the toolbar overlaps the page header.

If you run that function in the console, the page fixes itself.

Is there a fix for this behavior? Can I inject this JavaScript  ...

I have a Drupal 9 site. The default language is English, second language is German. I keep having problems with translations in the backend. Lots of field labels and other text shows up in English, even though the URL contains "/de/" (German).

Most simple use case:

• The "simple page" has a field "teaser text". If I edit this field definition, there is a translation tab. I verified that the English langua ...

I would like to pass variables to twig that depend on certain routes or node types (bundles) (a user page, a comment, a page or a custom content type). I used the name of the route (entity.comment.edit_form, entity.user.canonical) for that purpose.

Now I need to exclude some node types (i.e. I can't use just entity.node.canonical for all cases, I need to create a special condition for certain type ...

We have nodes that have dozens of fields and have elected to not include the {{ content }} variable as it is tedious and looks messy having something like the following just to not print the fields. We're manually outputting each field as needed like {{ content.myfield }}.

The problem is that when the {{ content }} variable is not in a template then that node's cache does not get cleared when a user ...

Can anyone please let me know how to extend existing drush command class.

I am writing a custom module which provides custom content entity and created a devel generate plugin similar to ContentDevelGenerate.

It is working as expected to generate dummy content from UI . I would like to create a drush command as well for the devel generator plugin. Similar to DevelGenerateCommands content method I would li ...

I have an entity with a JSON field, and I do some complicated processing when the entity is saved.

Right now, I do this processing in hook_ENTITY_presave(), which calls a service I have created in a custom module.

However, since Drupal 9.3, we can create bundle classes to extend entities cleanly.

So I made one for my entity, and I wrote some new getters and setters so I can do $entity->getMyValue() ...
