Installing and setting up the Layout Builder moduleĪs we mentioned earlier, the Layout Builder module has been available in Drupal Core since version 8.5, which means that all you have to do is install it. It helps developers to easily and conveniently build page layouts using a UI, and it enables embedding and linking any elements in a layout, like fields, views, menus, and forms. However, its basic functionality remains unchanged. The Layout Builder module has been included in Drupal Core starting with version 8.5, and it still undergoes significant changes and metamorphoses. If you haven’t done it yet, or want to refresh your knowledge, we’ll explain how to install, launch, manage, and use this module. It gained popularity a couple of years ago, but Drupal developers are still using it more and more. Reviewed at #3244123: Drupal Usability Meeting and we made a recommendation (in comment #13), but there was a good point made in comment #17 so in #18 I tagged it again for review.Layout Builder is a tool for building Drupal 8 entity layouts.#2980952: Wrong message on cancelling account with e-mail confirmation request with notes:. #2881892: UX: Hide entity ID in autocomplete widget.#3309016: Add image preload option to help boost actual and perceived performance.#463106: Improve search settings help text.#2704931: Provide Drupal root path on file system admin form.#3278377: Creating a new workspace should also switch to it.#3272325: Password suggestions are hidden from screenreaders.Perhaps we can at least take a look at what the issue is doing and provide some recommendations/guidance on how it could be implemented. This was echoed in comment #111.Ĭomment #144 is asking what is needed to move the issue along (the postponed state seems to be causing some delays/confusion as to how to proceed). Apparently there are some outstanding UX/accessibility questions (but I'm not sure what they are). In comment #109 the issue was marked as postponed for needing input from UX, accessibility and media initiative. #2985168: Allow media items to be edited in a modal when using the field widget with notes:.#3322499: Drupal Usability Meeting : We started looking at the issue but ran out of time.#2569785: Placement of batch progress messages with notes:.#3310096: Drupal Usability Meeting : presented the various proposals, but we again ran out of time to have a in-depth discussion, using the drop-button pattern on the module page for the existing links + Uninstall was suggested.#3307567: Drupal Usability Meeting : started discussing the proposed options but ran out of time, possibly splitting the confirm form into its own issue (we may want to look at that for both modules and themes, standard pattern, consider implications of project browser), worth considering parity with Drush (and other extension/package managers).#2035079: Figure out what to do with the install/uninstall modules page with notes:.#2860419: Appearance page is too long and confusing.Issues brought forward from the previous meeting: #3318110: Reorganize Block items in the administration menu.The group is actively tracking progress on: NR and RTBC issues marked Needs usability review. #256287: Give roles a description value.Rough transcript of this week's meeting: Drupal Usability Meeting.
