In the [last episode](http://watch-learn.com/video-tutorials/making-websites-with-october-cms-part-20-frontend-forms) I told you that it would be a good idea to protect our contact form, so that only registered can input data into our database. In this episode I'm going to show you how to do exactly that, using the _User_ plugin for October CMS.

I'm also going to show you how you can create _Register_, _Login_ and _Profile_ pages for your site and how to setup a sign out link.

In this episode we are going to setup User plugin for October CMS, and learn how to register and login users and also how to protect our pages from unauthorized  access.

Users

Kint is a debugger tool for Drupal, with it we can inspect all the data that is coming to our node, page, block or any other other type of content. With it we can see how we can accesses data that is coming to us from Drupal.

Of course, when we can see our data, we can then manipulate it. In this video I will show you how you can display values from your fields by using **foreach** loop, and also how you can prevent something from being displayed depending on user input.

In this episode of Drupal 8 Theming I'm going to show you a lot of stuff - how to work with Kint, how to print out data, how to make if statements with Twig and much more.

Drupal has a great functionality called **Image Styles** it's basically a way for you to define different image sizes and effects for your images. It can do everything from scaling and cropping to desaturating and rotating your images. Which is pretty cool in my opinion.

So in this tutorial we are going to add an image to our node template and resize it via image styles. Also we are going to add a different version of that image to our movies list using Views.

In this episode of Drupal 8 Theming tutorial series we are going to display image on our node, views and also learn how to make different image sizes for that image.

Images and Image Sizes

In the previous episode we learned how to display a list of content types using Views. And in this episode we are going to learn how to display fields from our content type in our node template.

In this Drupal 8 Theming tutorial we are going to learn how to display fields in our template files.

Displaying Fields

Also we are going to learn how to define our front page so that we don't use the same template as we would use on other content types. This way our front page will be able to have different type of design.

As for the header we are going to style a block that displays the header, add some css to it and I will show you how to change the path of your logo.

By doing all of this we will get better acquainted with Twigs template hints, and will learn where the stuff on our page is coming from.

In this episode of Drupal 8 Theming tutorial series we are going to theme our header the 'Drupal way', by using blocks, css, html and Twig.

Theming the Header

This all sounds very simple but as you will see in this video it's actually very convoluted if you want to do it the right way.

I will show you how to disable cache for Drupal 8 in your development environment so that you can easily disable it once the site goes live. Because of course you want all of that cache goodness for your production environment as it will make your site much faster.

You will also learn how to enable **twig debug** - one of the Drupal 8 killer features that will help us develop our theme by giving us helpful information about our templates, suggest template names and show us what information from the system we have available on the current page. All good stuff.

In this episode of Drupal 8 Theming we are going to learn how to disable Drupal 8 cache and enable Twig debug mode so that we can develop our theme without having to clear the cache all the time.
