Let us open our website which we created earlier. |
Part 1 | |
Time | Narration |
00:05 | Now that we have all of our Content types and fields built, we need to add categorization.
|
00:14 | Taxonomy is nothing else but Categories.
|
00:26 | Well, here’s the way it works in Drupal’s taxonomy.
|
00:38 | And in that vocabulary, we have Terms.
|
00:50 | We can have unlimited nested categories or terms in a Drupal vocabulary or taxonomy. |
00:59 | Now, here’s one thing that is really important.
|
01:15 | While it is great to be able to add categories on the fly, it has some inherent problems. |
01:21 | What happens if someone types a typo?
|
01:31 | So suddenly, we will have 2 categories and the content is no longer connected. |
01:38 | That’s why we always recommend a closed taxonomy, like the one on the screen.
|
01:47 | For now understand that, Taxonomy can be used in so many ways.
|
02:02 | Well, let’s dive into taxonomy now. |
Part 2 | |
Time | Narration |
00:05 | We will set up a taxonomy for our Events Content type. |
00:14 | Click on Structure, scroll down and click on Taxonomy. |
00:18 | As you probably remember, we have been setting up tags all along.
|
00:34 | So we will click on Add vocabulary.
|
00:48 | Click Save.
Introduction to Drupal, Site Building, Module Development, Theming, and Performance. |
01:07 | Let’s add those – Introduction to Drupal and click Save. |
01:19 | When we click on Save, and it brings us back to this Add screen again. |
01:24 | Now, I’ll type Site Building and click Save.
Theming…..., I’m just pressing Enter and it automatically saves. |
01:45 | And then the last one is Performance, and click Save. |
01:49 | We can add complex vocabulary here, but we’ll just keep this simple for now. |
01:58 | Clicking on Taxonomy here, and listing the terms in the Event Topics.
|
02:12 | But, I want to arrange them in the order of difficulty.
|
02:27 | Just click and drag these.
|
02:40 | So click Save.
|
02:48 | We have added the taxonomy, but our Content type doesn’t know about this yet. |
02:54 | So let’s go and click on Structure, Content types.
|
03:06 | Selecting a field type in this case is a Reference to the Taxonomy term in the vocabulary we just created. |
03:16 | So choose Taxonomy term and let’s name this Event Topics.
|
03:27 | And now it’s going to ask us which Type of item to reference.
|
03:42 | Click Save field settings. |
03:45 | And down here, we need to make sure that we choose the correct reference type.
|
04:01 | This is called Inline entity reference.
|
04:12 | We don’t want anyone to do that, so we will leave that unchecked. |
04:16 | Click Save settings. |
04:21 | There is one more step before we add content.
|
04:34 | We’ll do that later on in this series.
