* '''People''' and
* '''Report'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Slide 3:

System requirement

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| 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.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Let us open our website which we created earlier.

|-

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| As we mentioned earlier,''' Drupal''' is like a framework, so it doesn’t actually do a lot.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 00:10
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| This '''Extend''' link on the''' Administration toolbar''' is very important when we begin to build our''' site.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 00:18
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| Click on''' Extend.'''

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

'''Modules''' are''' features.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 00:28
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| We will cover them in detail later on.

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 checkmarks.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 01:27
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| The''' Extend''' menu allows us to see all the''' modules''' or features that we have enabled on our''' Drupal site.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 01:34
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| We will be adding a number of''' modules''' to our''' site''' as we go throughout this series.

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| Let’s look at the''' Configuration''' menu now.

Only''' site administrators''' get access to this area.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 00:18
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| Because we are the''' superuser''' or the user number 1, we have access to everything.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 00:23
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| Notice that there’s a red pop-up on the screen.

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.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 00:34
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| I’m going to ignore that for now, and worry about that when we get to the''' Reports''' screen.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 00:39
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| This particular menu gives us access to configuring all the different aspects of our''' site.'''

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.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 00:58
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| But for now, let us update our''' site''' information.

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.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 01:17
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| Whenever we make changes like this, they change the entire''' site'''.

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

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 01:24
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| So now,

* 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'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 01:33
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| That is a really big improvement over''' static HTML'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 01:38
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| Also on this page we get the''' Email address,''' which is the''' From address''' in automated emails.

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

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 01:50
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| Recall that in '''Drupal''', every page is a web form.

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

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 02:00
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| Let’s click on''' Save configuration''' button at the bottom'''.'''

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'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 02:14
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| We will explore the''' Configuration''' menu in detail in later tutorials.

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

|-

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| You’ll notice the tabs,''' List, Permissions''' and''' Roles'''.

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

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 00:21
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| The''' Roles''' section allows us to

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

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 00:31
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| The username''' admin''' is here.

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

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 00:40
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| We can''' '''change the''' Password,''' provided we know the current one.

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.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 00:54
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| We can update and add our own picture by clicking on the''' Browse''' button under''' Picture'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| 01:00
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| So basically, this is where we can manage our own profile.

Now, click on''' Save'''.

|-

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| To summarise -

* '''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'''.

* '''A listing of all the fields on all entity types''',
* '''Status reports''',
* '''Top “access denied”''' and

* '''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.

|-

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| We can also see that the last update was 48 minutes ago.

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| This is managed by''' Cron''' and we need to set this up on our server.

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding-top:0.185cm;padding-bottom:0.185cm;padding-left:0.159cm;padding-right:0.185cm;"| For now, just click on''' Check manually.'''

'''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.
