Slide 3:
System requirement
|
To record this tutorial, I am using
You can use any web browser as per your choice. |
Switch to website. | Let us open our website which we created earlier. |
Part 1 | |
Time | Narration |
00:05 | Before we explore the Drupal interface in detail, let me highlight a few really important terms. |
00:13 | Remember - because we setup our Drupal site, we are the user number one or the super user. |
00:20 | Super user is above all other users in Drupal.
|
00:35 | The Super user’s permission can never be revoked. |
00:39 | In other words, Super user has access to every area of the Drupal site. |
00:45 | Remember - user number one is the Super user in any Drupal site. |
00:52 | This is the administrative toolbar. |
00:56 | When we click on Manage, we are taken to the submenu.
|
01:05 | If we click on Shortcuts, there is a Shortcuts tool bar here.
|
01:13 | When we click on admin, we can see the links to our own profile or to Log out. |
01:19 | It is called admin in the tool bar, because that is the username I put in.
|
01:25 | Once again, this is the administration toolbar.
|
01:32 | It is quite simple to add something to the Shortcut bar. |
01:38 | For example-
|
01:50 | By clicking on the star, I can add it to the Shortcuts. |
01:55 | Now if we click on Shortcuts, we will see a Create Article menu item in the Shortcuts.
|
02:09 | This can be done from virtually any administration screen on our Drupal site.
|
02:19 | Now, let me click on Appearance.
|
02:28 | These tabs are important and they are called section tabs. |
02:33 | They look at different sections of whatever screen we might be working on. |
02:39 | Sometimes these sections have sub-section buttons, like the ones you are seeing here. |
02:44 | Global settings, Bartik, Classy and Seven are the sub-section buttons of the Settings tab. |
02:50 | Lastly, every Drupal Content item is called a node. |
02:57 | We don’t have any nodes or any content yet, on our site. |
03:01 | We will be creating those in upcoming tutorials. |
03:05 | Administration toolbar, sub-menu, section tabs and sub-section buttons.
|
Part 2 | |
Time | Narration |
00:05 | Let us take a look at the Content link in our toolbar. |
00:10 | When we click on Content, we are directed to a dashboard.
|
00:18 | We can filter by Published or Unpublished.
|
00:30 | Since we do not have content yet, this page is a little limited. |
00:36 | If we click on the subtabs here, we can see that there are no comments so far.
|
01:00 | Let’s click on Add content and add a welcome article to our Homepage. |
01:09 | Click on Article.
|
01:16 | The name of our site is “Drupalville”.
|
01:24 | In the body, we’ll type something like -
“Welcome to our site! We are so glad you stopped by!” |
01:35 | Now we will not go into all the fields.
|
01:41 | But, in the Tags we will put welcome, Drupal. |
01:45 | This will create links to a list of all articles that we give these tags. |
01:53 | We can also upload an image here. |
01:56 | I have already downloaded and saved a Drupal 8 logo on my machine. |
For your convenience, the Drupal 8 logo
| |
02:25 | Click Browse and locate the saved image.
|
02:42 | Alternative text is
|
02:50 | This is the Drupal 8 logo.
|
03:00 | We have just created our very first node on our new Drupal site. |
03:07 | Now, when we click on Content, the node is listed.
|
03:27 | That’s the content in our administrative toolbar. |
Part 3 | |
Time | Narration |
00:05 | The next link on the Administrative toolbar is Structure.
|
00:11 | Structure is where we build our site in Drupal.
Block layout, Comment types, Contact forms, Content types, Display modes, Menus, Taxonomy, Views. |
00:24 | These options tell us that most of our site building is done in Structure and Content menu items. |
00:40 | For now, let’s click on Block layout. |
00:43 | We can place blocks in a variety of areas in our site based on our Theme.
|
00:54 | Click on Custom block library and let’s add a welcome block. |
00:59 | Click on Add Custom block and let’s call it Welcome to Drupalville. |
01:10 | In the Body, type-
|
01:24 | Please note - this is not content.
|
01:31 | Now let’s click Save. |
01:35 | We have our block and now we can decide where to place it. |
01:40 | Click on Block layout again.
|
01:51 | A pop up window of all the blocks that are available to be placed on our Drupal site appears. |
01:58 | Locate the Custom block we created - "Welcome to Drupalville".
|
02:06 | There are some restrictions here, which we will learn about in an another tutorial.
|
02:16 | Let’s go to our Homepage and we should see "Welcome to Drupalville". |
02:22 | It may not be the in the order we want or in the location we want right now, but that is ok.
|
Part 4 | |
Time | Narration |
00:05 | Let us click on the next item on our Administration toolbar, that is Appearance. |
00:12 | This gives us an overview of all the Themes that are available for our Drupal site.
|
00:25 | For now, let’s click on Settings for Bartik.
|
00:35 | We can update the colour scheme here for Bartik by choosing a different one.
|
00:43 | This will give us a preview.
|
00:50 | Scroll back to the top, and click on Global settings.
|
01:00 | What will happen if we click Save without uploading a new one?
|
01:09 | To bring it back again, click on Appearance, then Settings and Global settings.
|
01:26 | Now, no matter how many pages we have on our site, our logo will appear on all the page. |
01:33 | That’s where we manage the Themes for our Drupal site under the Appearance tab.
