User Group and Entity Reference
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Welcome to the spoken tutorial on''' User Group and Entity Reference.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Slide 2:

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| '''Time'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| '''Narration'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:05
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Let us recall the '''Events''' content type we created in the previous tutorial.

We had created the first five fields shown here.

To create the '''Event Sponsor''' field, we need to create the '''User Groups''' content type.

'''User Groups''' are a group of people who come together to organise an event.

Examples could be '''Cincinnati user group''', '''Drupal Mumbai group''', '''Bangalore Drupal group''', etc.,

Let us first design the '''User Groups''' on a paper.

A group can have a website, a contact person, their email and their experience level.

Drupal has default fields for URL and Email, so we have chosen these field types.

A person’s name can be captured by a '''Name''' field, but we will use '''Text (plain)''' for now.

User experience levels can be one of “'''Beginner, Intermediate, '''or''' Advanced'''”.

To implement this we will choose a '''List''' '''(text) '''field type.

The last field here is for capturing all the events sponsored by this group.

For this, we can use '''Entity reference''' field to link to an existing '''Events content type'''.

Let us open our website which we created earlier.

Next let's set up''' User Groups Content type'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:10
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click''' Add content type.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:14
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Let’s name this one as''' User Groups.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:16
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Notice that the''' Machine name''' is''' user_groups.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:27
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| In the''' Description''', type -

'''This is where we track the Drupal groups from around the world.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:36
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| In the''' Title field label''' we will name this as''' User Group Name.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:47
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Let's set this up in the same manner as our''' Events Content type'''.

Click on''' Publishing options tab'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:51
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Under''' Default options''', let’s check the boxes for

* '''Create new revision,'''
* '''Published''' and
* '''Promoted to front page.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:57
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Now click on''' Display settings tab'''.

Then uncheck the box for''' Display author and date information'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:00
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Lastly, click on''' Menu settings tab''', and uncheck the box for''' Main navigation'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:05
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Once we have got that set, we can click on''' Save and manage fields''' button at the bottom.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:13
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| We are redirected to''' Manage fields''' page.

Here let's change the''' Label''' for the''' Body.'''

Click on the''' Edit''' button under the''' Operations''' column.

In the''' Label''' field''',''' let’s type''' User Group Description''' and then click on the''' Save settings''' button at the bottom.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| We can see the green success message at the top.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:29
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| For this''' Content type,''' we are only going to set up 5 fields.

|}

{| style="border-spacing:0;"
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| '''Time'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| '''Narration'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:05
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| We have already created one field. Let's now create another one.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:08
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Just under that, click''' Add field''' button'''.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:10
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| In this case, we will click on''' Reuse an existing field''' dropdown.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:14
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Notice that''' Link: field_event_ website''' field is available.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:18
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Because we already named it as''' Event website,''' that might be a bit confusing.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:22
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Re-using a field allows us to re-use a''' table''' in the''' Drupal database.'''

This is done by maintaining different settings for the same field.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:39
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| In this case, it makes more sense to set up a new field.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:41
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| In''' Add a new field''' dropdown, choose the''' Link''' field type.

In''' Label''', type''' Group Website.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:45
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click''' Save and continue,''' and then click''' Save field settings.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:51
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| This time we will select''' External links only''', since no''' User Groups''' actually has a page in''' Drupalville''' yet'''.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:58
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click''' Save settings''' button at the bottom.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:01
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Once again, click on''' Add field.'''

This time we will use a''' Text''' field for the contact person’s name.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:07
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click on''' Add a new field''' dropdown and choose the field type''' Text (plain).'''

We will name the '''Label''' as''' Group Contact.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:20
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click''' Save and continue''', and then''' Save field settings.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:26
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Then click on the '''Save settings''' button at the bottom.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:30
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Once more, click on''' Add field''' button.

This time, let’s choose the''' Email''' field in the dropdown.

We will name the '''Label''' as''' Contact Email.'''

Click on''' Save and continue''' button.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:40
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| In''' Allowed number of values''', we need only 1.

Click on '''Save field settings.'''

There are no other settings here.

So, we will click on''' Save settings''' button at the bottom.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:47
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Once more, click on''' Add field''' button.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:51
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| This time, in the '''Field type '''dropdown, select the''' List (text)''' option.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1 :58
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| In the''' Label''' field, we will type''' Group Experience''' and then click''' Save and continue''' button.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 2:07
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| One of the things about this '''Field type '''that should be kept in mind, is given in this message.

'''These settings impact the way the data is stored in the database and cannot be changed once data has been created.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 2:15
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| This is one of the reasons we emphasize planning.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 2:18
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Let’s add our values here -''' Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced,''' and''' Expert.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 2:29
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Our''' User Group''' could very easily have more than one of these values applicable to them.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 2:36
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Change''' Allowed number of values''' from''' Limited''' to''' Unlimited''' and then click''' Save field settings'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 2:40
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Now, click''' Save settings.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 2:42
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| We have one more field to add here, that is the''' Entity reference''' field.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 2:48
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Now we learn about what is '''Entity Reference '''and how to create it.

|}

{| style="border-spacing:0;"
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| '''Time'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| '''Narration'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:05
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| One of the things we want to do in our website, is to say that -

* '''Events''' can be sponsored by''' User Groups''' and
* '''User Groups''' can sponsor''' Events'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:13
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| This is a very common thing in a '''website''' where you want to link two different content together.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:20
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| '''Events''' are sponsored by''' User Groups.'''

So, we want to have the''' User Group''' information to be available to every event.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:27
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Now let’s set this up.

Click on''' Add field.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:32
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| If you are a database person, you will recognize these as a''' many to many relationship''' within the data.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:38
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click on''' Add a new field''' dropdown.

This time, choose''' Content''' under''' Reference.'''

In the''' Label''' field, we will type''' Events Sponsored'''  and then click''' Save and continue''' button'''.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:52
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Next, we are asked to choose the''' Type of item to reference.'''

You can see there are a lot of options here.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:58
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| We are going to keep it very simple - choose''' Content.'''

In''' Allowed number of values''', let’s choose''' Unlimited.'''

Then click''' Save field settings.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:07
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Here on the''' Settings''' page, we get to choose which''' Content types''' are referenced by the''' User Groups.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:15
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| We are referencing the''' Events Content type.'''

Here when I am adding an event, only the events will show up when I start typing the''' Events title.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:27
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Hence, we need to make sure that we have selected the right''' Content Type''' here.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:30
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Choose''' Events''' and click''' Save settings'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:34
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Now, we need to do the same thing in our''' Events Content type'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:39
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click on''' Structure.'''

Then click on''' Content types''' here in the bread crumbs.

Then for the''' Events Content type,''' select''' Manage fields.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 1:51
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Let's add one more field.

Under''' Add a new field''' dropdown, choose''' Content.'''

In the''' Label''' field, type''' Event Sponsors'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 2:03
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click''' Save and continue'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 2:05
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Change''' Allowed number of values''', let’s choose''' Unlimited.'''

This is because more than one''' User Group''' could sponsor an event.

Now click on''' Save field settings.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 2:13
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| This time under''' REFERENCE TYPE,''' choose''' User groups.'''

Again, this is because we are referencing''' User Groups''' for the''' Events Sponsors''' field.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 2:21
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click''' Save settings.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 2:23
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Now this links those '''two Content Types''' together in a''' many to many relationship.'''

These are based on''' '''events sponsors and what E'''vents''' are being sponsored by what''' User Groups.'''

With this we come to the end of this tutorial.
