CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

There doesn't seem to be an obvious place to discuss Drupal8 integration experiences with each other, so this might as well be a good place instead of the General Discussion thread..

So the first hurdle I seem to be having is that the CMS variable is not being set to Drupal8 but rather to %%cms%% causing the wrong functions to be called. For example:

User warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "CRM/common/%%cms%%.tpl" in Smarty->trigger_error() (line 1094 of libraries/civicrm/packages/Smarty/Smarty.class.php)."

%%cms%% being the default setting in civicrm.settings.php I just now realized, dumbdumb me

Now I have the civicrm Dashboard, but there is no css formatting to it, and no civicrm menu..Bbecause the resource URL has been set wrong:

http://d8.testage.ca/varwwwtestage.cadrupal8librariescivicrm
instead of
http://d8.testage.ca/libraries/civicrm

Fixing that and I now have a functional Civicrm interface.. Now to throw data into it and see what happens.

To sum up install problems so far:

• The install process or description didn't set the CMS to Drupal8 or say to do so (and the setting file doesn't list Drupal8 as an option in the comments)
• The Resource URL was set incorrectly
