Configuration Management in Admin Interface

Learning Objectives

• Extend
• Configuration
• People and
• Report

System requirement

• Ubuntu Operating System
• Drupal 8 and
• Firefox web browser

You can use any web browser as per your choice.

So it doesn’t actually do a lot.

This gives us an overview of all of the Modules on our site.

Modules are features.

This is the list of some of the Modules that come with Drupal.

We can see what has been enabled or not enabled, just by looking at the check-marks.

Only site administrators get access to this area.

You may or may not have this on your screen.

It says that the status report hasn’t run, and that I need to check if my Drupal site is up to date.

Like -

• Site information,
• Account settings,
• Text formats and editors,
• Performance issues,
• Maintenance mode,
• Image styles,
• And others.

We will go through these in detail later on in this series.

Click on Site information.

And let’s change our Site name to Drupalville.

And in the Slogan, type - "A Great Place to Learn All About Drupal."

This is one of the great things about content management systems.

• whether we had one page or a thousand pages on our site,
• the site name across the top of every single page will be Drupalville.

We can also choose a different front page and a default 403 and 404 page.

So, every time we make a change on our Drupal page, we have to click Submit or Save.

Then, click on Back to site.

Notice that our site name is now Drupalville and we have a slogan on every page of our site.

It takes us to the People area on our Drupal site.

This is just an introduction. We’ll cover these in much more detail later.

• create user accounts,
• manage permissions about what people can see and
• what people can do on our site.

If we click Edit, we can see all the things about our own user account.

There is an option to reset it, if we don’t know.

Here, it tells us that our Role is Administrator.

My status is Active.

And we have our own Personal contact form, and our LOCATION SETTINGS.

Now, click on Save.

• Roles tab allows us to add various roles,
• Permissions tab allows us to give certain permissions to those roles
• And List tab allows us to assign users to those roles.   They’ll get certain Permissions, which will allow them
  • to do certain things
  • and see certain things

on our Drupal site.

This gives us a listing of some important things that we need to know about our Drupal site.

• Recent log messages,
• A listing of all the fields on all entity types,
• Status reports,
• Top “access denied” and
• "Page not found” errors,
• Top search phrases,
• and some of the plugins that our Views may use.

This will give a listing of all the things that might need to be updated.

Drupal will now check all the things that we have installed and let us know that we are up-to-date.

We will check this again later on, as we go through this tutorial.

For example

• what version of Drupal we have
• and when Cron was Last run.

Our Database system, Database version, etc.

Especially if you’re the person responsible for-

• maintaining all the updates for Drupal
• and the Modules that you download.

With this we come to the end of this tutorial.
