A search page with a map is something required on lots of websites. Depending on the nature of the data, adding facets can improve the user experience in a search page.

Once you know how to implement such a page, you realize that devloping a nice solution doesn't need much effort. The tricky part is the choice of modules you are going to use, how they work together and how to configure them properly.

Media-handling in Drupal has never been easy. As Drupal core only includes basic file and image support, you had (and still have) to install lots of contrib modules to achieve tasks, which seem to be standard in other content-Management-Systems. The Media Initiative is one of several Drupal 8 Initiatives, which wants to make Media in Drupal easier to use, both for developers, site builders, as well as content editors and other end users.

In this session, I will describe my experiences in updating a Drupal module from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 (the adsense module). The session will describe the lessons learned in this process, including the removal of the previous "sub-module as plugins" system, and it's replacement with a true plugin system based on the infrastructure provided by Drupal 8. It will also advocate for a thorough removal of the .module file as much as possible. Some tools helpful for module development will also be addressed including:

The Group module allows you to create arbitrary collections of your content and users on your site and grant access control permissions on those collections.

Group also allows you to create communities. Users of the site can become members of a group. There can also be different levels of membership to a Group so, for example, you can have administrative members who can create content and basic members who can only view content within the Group.

In this session, we will cover some general use cases of the group module in Drupal 8 with the following:
