CiviCRM for Drupal 8 installation notes¶

• Install Drupal 8 as normal: From the folder above your eventual webroot, run: composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev htdocs --stability dev --no-interaction
• Follow the instructions on this gist.
• Copy files to <webroot>/libraries/civicrm by using the script on this ticket.
• [Hack] To get CKEditor/kcfinder working, copy it to libraries/civicrm: cp -r $asset_source/packages/kcfinder $asset_dest/packages/.
• To get extern scripts loading correctly, run this (to create a second settings_location.php):

cat << EOF > $asset_source/settings_location.php
<?php

define('CIVICRM_CONFDIR', '../../../web/sites');
EOF

Alternatively, set BOTH settings_location.php values to an absolute path, e.g. /home/jon/local/agbud8/htdocs/web/sites/default.

• To load images in CKEditor, modify <webroot>/libraries/civicrm/packages/integration/civicrm.php.
  At line 60, add:

    case 'Drupal8':
      $auth_function = 'authenticate_drupal8';
      break;

Somewhere below that, add:

function authenticate_drupal8($config) {
  return true;
}

• Add the following to civicrm.settings.php:

$civicrm_setting['URL Preferences']['userFrameworkResourceURL'] = CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL . '/libraries/civicrm/';
$civicrm_paths['civicrm.root']['url'] = CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL . '/libraries/civicrm/';
$civicrm_setting['domain']['userFrameworkResourceURL'] = CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL . '/libraries/civicrm/';
$civicrm_paths['cms.root']['path'] = '/var/www/agbud8.megaphonetech.com/htdocs/web';
