Time	Narration
00:01	Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Creating New Content Types.
00:06	In this tutorial, we will learn about: Creating a new Content type and Adding fields to Content type.
00:15	To record this tutorial, I am using: Ubuntu Operating System Drupal 8 and Firefox web browser. You can use any web browser as per your choice.
00:29	Let us open our website which we created earlier.
00:34	Now that we know what are built-in Content types, let us create some custom Content types.
00:41	Recall the introduction to Content type.
00:45	We had learnt not to stuff everything into the body.
00:49	We are now going to learn how to create custom Content type.
00:55	We will create an Events Content type that tracks all the Drupal events around the world.
01:02	First, let us design on a paper what fields we need to capture for this Content type.
01:09	It is a good practice to do this for all new Content types before creating it in Drupal.
01:16	Create a table with columns for Field Name, Field Type, and Purpose.
01:23	All Drupal nodes have Title and Body fields defined, by default.
01:29	The Event Name can be the Title field to identify this event uniquely.
01:36	Event Description can be the Body field to provide some plain text description.
01:43	An Event Logo is an Image to display any special logo of the event.
01:50	We need a Event Date of type Date which captures the start and end date of the event.
01:58	The event can have a separate Event Website which is an URL link to be displayed in this Content type.
02:07	We will cover only these five fields in this tutorial. Later, we will learn to include two more fields.
02:17	Every event will be sponsored by an User Group. User Group is another Content type, we will create in the next tutorial.
02:27	Two nodes of two different Content types are linked in Drupal using the Entity Reference field.
02:35	An Event Topic is a Taxonomy field which is used to categorize the event under various keywords.
02:44	Now, let us click on Structure and then on Content types.
02:50	These are our 2 basic Content types.
02:53	Click the blue button Add content type.
02:57	We are going to call our new Content type as "Events".
03:02	And in the Description, we will type -"This is where we track all the Drupal events from around the world".
03:11	You can type any text that you want here.
03:15	This Description will appear on the Content type page.
03:20	You will also notice that Drupal gave it a Machine name. Here we can see it named as "events".
03:28	The Machine name is basically the name of the table in the database that Drupal assigns the content to.
03:36	In the Submission form settings, change the word Title to Event Name.
03:43	On the Publishing options, let's put a check-mark on Create new revision.
03:49	This means every time a node is edited, a new version will be created.
03:55	Leave the other settings as they are. Let's turn off the Display author and date information.
04:02	It's not important for this one. Here is something that is recommended for every Content type.
04:09	Click on Menu settings. Under Available menus, uncheck all the menus that might be checked.
04:17	This will prevent a content editor from adding a thousand events to our menu structure.
04:24	It ensures that others don’t have the permissions to add an event to our menu item.
04:31	If we want to add an event later on, we can do it manually ourselves.
04:37	Click on Save and manage fields.
04:40	Once our Events Content type is saved, we will see the Body field.
04:45	Click on Edit on the right hand side. And let's change the Label to "Event Description".
04:55	Click on Save settings button at the bottom.
04:59	We have just created our first Custom Content type in Drupal.
05:04	It is pretty limited at this point. Basically a Title and Body, which is the same as the basic page.
05:13	Next, we will add many more fields according to our paper design and make this a lot more helpful.
05:23	Click on Add field button at the top.
05:27	In Select a field type drop-down, choose Image. In the Label field, type "Event Logo".
05:36	Click Save and continue.
05:39	We can upload a default image here, if we want to, by clicking on the Choose file button.
05:48	We could also add default Alternative text, if we want to.
05:54	We will keep the limit as one logo for each event. Click Save field settings.
06:02	Now, we get to set up all the settings for the Event logo field.
06:07	Most of these are contextual and are based on the field type.
06:11	We can add some help text or some instructions here, for our content editors.
06:18	We can also check the box for Required field which means that a content item or node cannot be saved, until an event logo is added.
06:30	We can change the file extensions that are allowed here. It is recommended not to add bitmap here.
06:38	The file directory is filled in with a year and month, by default. But we can change this, if required.
06:47	For example, you may have several Content types with images.
06:53	Then, you can add a prefix events so that all the images of Events Content type will be in one file directory.
07:04	Drupal allows us to name it as anything that we want. But be careful with this because we can not change this very easily later.
07:14	We can also set the Maximum and Minimum image resolution and a Maximum upload size.
07:21	Think carefully before you make changes here. Imagine - you upload 2 or 3 megapixel images.
07:28	You use your wysiwyg editor. Shrink it down to a few hundred pixels.
07:35	Drupal still loads that 2 megapixel image and that can be really frustrating.
07:41	It gets worse if they are using their mobile. And on the data plan, suddenly you made them download 2 megabytes that they didn't need to download.
07:51	We must make sure that we are getting our images set properly before we upload them.
07:57	What's the largest size the image should be and what's the smallest size the image should be?
08:03	Minimum Image resolution, in particular, is very important.
08:08	This field should not be smaller than the largest image size that you want to display.
08:14	This will prevent Drupal from scaling the image beyond the original and making them pixelated.
08:21	Setup your Maximum Image resolution to, say, 1000 x 1000.
08:26	Setup your Minimum Image resolution to, say, 100 x 100.
08:31	Then make the Maximum upload size to 80 kb.
08:36	What Drupal will do is shrink the image down to a 1000 by 1000 size and make it 80 kilo bytes.
08:44	And, if it can't, then Drupal will reject the image.
08:48	It will be better to make this 600 by 600 pixels which is a more reasonable size.
08:56	We will check the Enable Alt field and Alt field required check-boxes.
09:02	Then click Save settings.
09:05	Now we have an Event Logo field for our Content type.
09:09	Let's add another field by clicking Add field.
09:12	In the Add a new field drop-down, choose Link. In Label field, let’s type "Event Website".
09:22	Click Save and continue.
09:25	Immediately, we are prompted to specify the Allowed number of values. We will just have 1 value for that.
09:34	Click Save Field Settings. Once again, this screen gives us the contextual settings for our Link field.
09:43	Under Allowed Link type, we have the options Internal links only External links only and Both internal and external links.
09:54	Next, we can specify whether we are going to make Allow link text as Disabled, Optional or Required.
10:04	We will leave this as Optional for now and see how that works.
10:09	Go ahead and click Save settings. Once again click Add field.
10:15	This time we will choose the Date field.
10:20	Type the Label as "Event Date".
10:24	Click Save and continue.
10:26	We will leave the value at 1, for now. In the Date type drop-down, choose Date only option.
10:34	Click Save field settings. Once again we get the contextual settings page.
10:43	Here, let’s change the Default date to Current date.
10:47	Click Save settings.
10:49	Now, we have two more fields to add here but we cannot add them yet.
10:55	We will cover those in the upcoming tutorials. With this we come to the end of this tutorial.
11:03	Let us summarize. In this tutorial, we have learnt about creating a new Content type and adding fields to Content type.
