|-
| 00:01
| Welcome to the spoken tutorial on''' Creating Dummy Content.'''

|-
| 00:06
| In this tutorial, we will learn to* Create dummy content using '''devel module'''.

|-
| 00:12
| 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.

|-
|00:25
| One of the things we need when we are building our''' Drupal site''' is to have a lot of content.This will help us to understand''' layouts''',''' views''' and''' designs'''.

|-
| 00:36
| But ideally, we shouldn’t use real content.Say, we need to change a''' Content type,''' or a''' field.'''

|-
| 00:44
| The problem is we have to go in and edit the real content, which is a waste of time.

|-
| 00:50
| But this step is very important. We need to test our content types to make sure they are working what we want.

|-
| 00:57
| We have only covered a few kinds of '''fields''' till now.

|-
| 01:01
| Here is our''' Cincinnati node.'''Let’s say the''' Cincinnati group''' wants to charge a fee for their meetings.

|-
|01:07
|And they want to put this on the''' site'''.

|-
| 01:10
| We can use a''' decimal''' for money, or an''' integer''' which is a whole number.

|-
|01:15
| Say, you chose an''' integer''', because they only charged 10 dollars.But later on, they decided to charge 10.99 dollars.

|-
|01:24
|Then, we are in trouble.

|-
| 01:26
| An''' integer''' cannot be changed into a''' decimal,''' especially after we have already added content.

|-
| 01:32
| And so these are the things that need to planned out beforehand.

|-
|01:37
| We can test all of this by using some fake content.These can be easily inserted, and easily deleted, when we are done with our testing.

|-
| 01:48
| Remember this - we don’t need hundreds of real contents but only a few fake content.

|-
| 01:54
| The solution to this problem is the''' Devel module'''. Go to''' drupal.org/project/devel.'''

|-
| 02:02
|Till now, we haven’t actually talked about''' Modules''' or extended our''' Drupal''' website yet.We will do that in the upcoming tutorials.

|-
| 02:11
| But here, we will learn to install''' Devel Module''' and use it.This will give an idea of some of the power that''' Drupal Modules''' can give us.

|-
| 02:21
| Scroll down to the bottom and locate the''' Download''' section.This screen might look very different for you.

|-
|02:28
| '''Drupal 8 dot x''' version could be up in the green region.So, make sure you click that one.

|-
| 02:34
| If not, then click the''' Development release'''.

|-
| 02:38
| Now there are two ways to do this.We can download it, but that will give us many unnecessary files on our desktop.

|-
|02:44
| Or we can right-click.And depending on our browser, we will see either''' Copy Link''' or''' Copy Link Location'''.

|-
| 02:53
| Either way, click the link to the .'''tar''' file or the .'''zip''' file.But don’t click on this''' dev''' file, because that won’t work.

|-
|03:01
|These are the links to the actual files.

|-
| 03:04
| Once we have got that, come back to our '''site'''.Click on''' Extend''' and then on''' Install new module'''.

|-
| 03:11
| Now paste the''' URL''' into the''' Install from a URL''' field.If you have a good internet connection, you can install from the URL.

|-
| 03:22
|Otherwise, for your convenience, the '''devel''' package has been provided in the '''Code Files''' link on this page.

|-
| 03:31
|Please download it and upload it using the '''Choose File''' option here.Lastly, click''' Install.'''

|-
| 03:41
| Now, click on''' Enable newly added modules'''.

|-
| 03:45
| Click on the word''' CORE''' to minimize it.Then scroll down.

|-
| 03:50
|Under the''' DEVELOPMENT block,''' we can see''' Devel''' and''' Devel generate'''.Ignore the others for now.

|-
| 03:57
| Put a checkmark in''' Devel''' and''' Devel generate.'''Then, scroll down to the bottom and click''' Install'''.

|-
| 04:05
| Remember that in''' Drupal,''' we always have to make sure that we click on''' Save, Install''', etc.

|-
| 04:12
| We should get a green message here –''' 2 modules have been enabled'''

|-
| 04:17
| Don’t worry if you see any caution message in red color, as long as it’s not a serious error.

|-
| 04:23
| To generate a whole bunch of content, click on''' Configuration.'''Then on the left hand side, we will see''' Generate content''' link.Click on that.

|-
| 04:34
| Now, we will be able to generate as much content as we want, to do the required testing.

|-
| 04:41
| We will choose''' Events''' and''' User Groups''', because these are the 2''' Content types''' we need to test.

|-
| 04:47
| Notice here, there is a''' Delete all content in these content types before generating new content'''.This is to delete the fake content.

|-
| 04:56
| Let’s put a check mark there and generate''' 0 nodes.'''This will delete all the''' Events''' and''' User Groups.'''

|-
| 05:05
| This will also include the ones that we created ourselves.For example - our''' Cincinnati User Group''' would also be gone if we did this.

|-
| 05:15
|So, let’s uncheck that.| Let’s generate''' 50 nodes.'''

|-
|05:20
| Go back a''' year.'''

|-
| 05:22
| We don’t have''' comments''' on our''' nodes'''.

|-
| 05:25
| Change the''' Maximum number of words in titles''' to''' 2'''.If you don’t do that, this will generate a lot of long''' Lorem Ipsum''' text.

|-
| 05:35
| Click''' Generate'''. Immediately, we get a success message.To find out if it worked, click on''' Content'''.

|-
| 05:44
| Here’s a list of 50 new''' nodes''' - half''' Events''' and half''' User groups'''.

|-
| 05:50
| Click on any one and we will see that''' Devel''' has generated - a lot of text in''' Description''', an''' Event Logo''',

|-
| 05:57
|a fake''' Event Website,''' a''' Date''',has chosen one of the''' User Groups''' as''' Sponsor''' and has selected some of the''' Event Topics.'''

|-
| 06:08
| We can now do our''' layouts''', our''' views''' and all the other things we need to do with our''' site.'''

|-
|06:15
|'''Devel''' has helped us to save a lot of time by generating fake content.

|-
| 06:20
| This is a great feature of''' Drupal''', provided from a''' Module''' downloaded at''' drupal.org.'''These are called''' Contributed Modules'''. We will learn about this later.

|-
| 06:32
|With this we come to the end of this tutorial.
