I am enjoying your video and like your presentation style and explanation. I am following along on the site I am working on, pausing and doing the actions as you do them. I am not sure if because this is at such a later date and version updates have happened, but I came to a full stop when I have no custom wrappers or custom classes tabs at the bottom of edit display view. On Content /admin/structure/Display Suite, there are tabs for classes and fields, but no mechanism (I've found) for attaching them to a region layout. I can attach field classes via the field config. I am using bootstrap and loaded the bootstrap layouts. I've found that using those, I will get tabs at the bottom of edit display view, one for every region. There seems to be no hook from there into the region classes. Because I am starting this site at square one with web dev knowledge but no drupal knowledge, I am using latest versions for everything Drupal 8.4.4, DS 8.x-3.1. Subtheme based bootstrap.
Hi Ivan, Have you used Zurb Foundation 6? There is gap in the market for how to setup a drupal 8 with Foundation 6. Any cahnce you could do a few vids on Foundation 6? Keep up the good work. Carlo
Hey Ivan, thank you for super tutorial, I want to use display suit for main-navigation, how can use display suit to customize the main-navigation? thanks Chintan
Hello Ivan. I watched this video and decided to try out Display Suite. I have a question that I could just not find an answer to - For a new site I am doing I have pages made of Taxonomy vocabularies two levels deep and I want to get a picture that is in that taxonomy content and move it past some views blocks to the bottom of the page- is that possible?
Hi Jared, You could do this with a custom view. Add a contextual filter in the view and load the term which is being viewed. Then use views to display the image. Cheers, Ivan
Hi Mhamed, You can achieve similar functionality with custom code. DS doesn’t offer anything like this through its interface. Create your variants as different view modes then implement "hook_entity_view_mode_alter" to programmatically switch the view mode. A good example of this is the “Display suite switch view mode” sub-module. Check out the example: cgit.drupalcode.org/ds/tree/modules/ds_switch_view_mode/ds_switch_view_mode.module?h=8.x-2.x#n36 Cheers, Ivan
I have not watched this video, I have watched others by you though. I am looking for a way to build page templates like i did in drupal 7, i can add a row, then and regions and add regions within those regions. Then have the graphical representation (layout designer)..you know like te drupal 7 panel builder, where you could put a field from a content type in a particular region, make node template, am i missing something here?
Hi Mark, Are you referring to Panels? If so, I've done a few videos about Panels and Page Manager (ua-cam.com/video/SqgHRgX06Pk/v-deo.html) Just an FYI, Panels in Drupal 8 is not as feature rich as the version in Drupal 7. The Drupal 8 is being worked on. Cheers, Ivan
WebWash Hello, thank you for replying. Yes i was referring to the abillity to add rows columns and regions and assign different veiws or fields from content types to the different regions. I have watched your videos on page manager and panels, they are very helpful. Im just looking for the functionality of panels from drupal 7 for drupal 8. I would like customers to be able to just fill there content type out and everything goes where its suppose to go on their layout i design for them. Is there any other route i can take to have this functionality without rewriting results in views. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Mark, What you're asking for can be done using Display Suite or Panels. If these modules can't do it then you'll need to implement the functionality yourself. Cheers, Ivan
WebWash hello ok thanks yeah im just using views to do it. it was really easy in drupal 7. Im going to drupal con next week maybe ill find the solution there. Thanks i will suscribe to your channel

Hi Carlo,
Thanks for the feedback. I'll check out Foundation 6. I've used Foundation 5 on a Drupal 7 site.

Hey Ivan,
thank you for super tutorial, I want to use display suit for main-navigation, how can use display suit to customize the main-navigation?
thanks
Chintan
Hi Chintan,
Display Suite cannot be used to customize menus. It only works on content entities, anything with a "Manage display" page.
Cheers,
Ivan
Hi Ivan,
thanks for prompt reply.
Got it your point and i'll manage it with customize the template menu file.
thanks,
Chintan
Great webinar, thanks!
Is Display Suite working for images? I am trying to display my gallery in 3 columns using Display Suit and it is not working
Are you referring to the "image" media type?
I haven't tested DS with media types. It's been a while since I've used DS.
@@WebWash yes, image

Interesting Webinar but what about switching view modes according to roles rules an conditions?
