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

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:18
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| '''Modules''' and''' themes''' are the primary way to extend or add features to a''' Drupal website.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:30
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| '''Drupal''' offers a complete''' content management system'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:40
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| But sometimes we need more, and that is where''' modules''' come in.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:45
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| '''Modules''' add features to our''' Drupal website.'''

There are three kinds of''' modules''' in''' Drupal'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:50
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| There are''' Core Modules'''.

These are the''' modules''' that come with''' Drupal''', by default.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:55
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| They can be turned off.

But never go into the core area of a website using''' ftp,''' for instance, and remove these''' modules.'''

They will just get re-installed again, whenever we update''' Drupal'''.  

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:08
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| These''' Core Modules''' are designed for the basic functionality of''' Drupal.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:14
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Then, there are''' Contributed Modules.'''

We have already installed one, we installed''' Devel''' earlier.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:20
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| A''' Contributed Module''' is a''' module''' that someone in the community contributes.

And it is available at''' drupal.org.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:35
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| The final kind of''' module''' is a''' Custom Module'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:40
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| This is where we just have some specific functionality that we need for our project.

This module is not available and nobody else thought of it, upto this point.

But, very obviously, we either have to build it ourselves or pay someone else to do it for us.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:50
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| There are many different''' modules''' available for''' Drupal'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:58
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Over here at''' drupal.org,''' we can see that there are''' 32,458 modules''' already.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:03
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| '''Modules''' do a variety of things'''.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:08
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| One''' module''' may add a '''field''' to the''' Content type.'''

Another''' module''' may add a complete''' Voting System''' for our entire '''website'''.  

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:16
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| But we can only use a''' module''' that is compatible with the version of''' Drupal''' we’re on.

And so, we will always need to filter our''' modules''' here, at''' drupal.org/project/modules.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:30
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| When we filter them, they are always listed in the order of popularity'''.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:48
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| On the first three or four pages, are the most popular''' modules'''.

Which means, they’re the most used and often they’re the most helpful.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 03:05
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| To summarise,''' Modules''' add features and there are many''' modules''' available for free, at''' drupal.org'''

|}

{| 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;"| 00:05
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Let us open our website which we created earlier.

Click on''' Extend''' and then scroll down.

Here we have some of the''' modules''' that come with''' Drupal''' by default.

But they are not already turned''' on'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:20
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Let’s enable the''' Book module'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:25
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Scroll down a little bit further and we’ll find the''' Forum module.'''

Let’s turn that one''' on, '''too.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:50
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| We can turn two completely separate''' modules '''on, at the same time.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:55
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Scroll down to the bottom and click on''' Install'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:00
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| The''' Book module''' and''' Forum module''' are two very, very different types of '''modules'''.

But they both create brand new''' Content types.'''

And they bring added functionality to''' Drupal''' by extending it.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:15
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| '''Drupal modules '''do very different things, even though they are all''' modules'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:25
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| * When you want to add new features to your''' site'''
* where it’s a whole new functionality
* or even just a new''' Field type'''
* you are adding a''' module''' to extend the''' Drupal core'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:40
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Now, let’s click on''' Structure''' and''' Content types.'''

We see that, there are two new''' Content Types''' here - a''' Book page''' and a''' Forum topic'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:50
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Check the''' Book page Content type''' by clicking''' Content''' and then''' Add content'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:00
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| The''' Book page''' creates a book on our '''site,''' complete with

* chapters,
* navigations
* and even a '''blog''' that can go anywhere we want.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:10
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click on''' Book page.'''

Now let’s type the''' Title''' as''' Our Drupal Manual.'''

In the''' Body,''' let’s type''' This is the beginning of our Drupal manual'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:25
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| On our''' Publication settings''' we have a new''' setting'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:30
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click on''' BOOK OUTLINE''' and change''' None''' to''' Create a new book.'''

Then click''' Save and publish'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:48
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Notice a new link over here, named''' Add child page'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:56
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| At''' drupal.org''', click on''' Documentation.'''

Now, when we click on''' Understanding Drupal''', we can see the''' Book module'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 03:05
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Over here on the right hand side, is the''' navigation.'''

Here, at end of the page, is some more''' navigation,''' which is automatically generated.

On the left hand side, are the''' links'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 03:15
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click on''' Drupal concept.'''

Notice we have navigation here.

And our navigation on the right hand side, has also expanded to show us what’s coming up next.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 03:25
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| We can build complete and complex user guides or any kind of books we want using the''' Book module'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 03:35
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Let’s go back to our''' website''' and click on''' Add child page'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 03:40
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Type the''' Title''' as''' Installing Drupal''' and''' Body''' as''' This is where we explain how to install Drupal'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 03:52
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Notice that it is automatically put in the''' Drupal manual''' that we are creating.

This happens simply because we clicked on''' Create Book page'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 03:59
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click''' Save and publish'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 04:03
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| We can see that the navigation is automatically generated for us.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 04:08
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click''' Up'''.

It takes us to the main level.

Recall - I mentioned earlier that there is a''' block''' available with this.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 04:15
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click on''' Structure''' and''' Block layout''' and in the''' Sidebar first''', let’s place the''' block'''.

Click''' Place block''' and we can see here - we have the''' Book navigation menu'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 04:30
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click''' Place block'''.

Then click''' Save block'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 04:40
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click''' Save blocks''' and go back to our site.

Here is our''' Book navigation''',''' Our Drupal Manual''' and''' Installing Drupal.'''

This will collapse and grow as needed, when we add new''' child pages.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 05:00
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Again I am reminding you.

Go to''' drupal.org'''.

Browse through the''' user manual''' or''' documentation''' that uses the''' Book module''' to make this happen.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 05:10
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| It’s really powerful if this is the kind of content you need on your '''site'''.

You are not restricted to the''' title''' and''' '''the '''body''' here.

You can add''' fields''' to the''' Content type''' that comes with the''' Book module'''.

{| style="border-spacing:0;"

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:05
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| If a''' website''' really benefits from having a''' forum''', then the''' Forum module''' is really helpful.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:25
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click on''' Content''' and then on''' Add content.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:30
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| The''' Forum module''' actually creates a''' new Content type''' called''' Forum topic'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 00:37
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| These are''' field able,''' which means we are not restricted to just the''' title''' and the''' body'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 0:42
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click on''' Forum topic'''. Enter a new '''forum topic''', say,''' Learning Drupal'''.

In the''' Forums''', put it in the''' General discussion.'''

Then enter the''' body - Hi, I’m just learning Drupal. Can someone help me?'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:05
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Click''' Save and publish.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:10
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Now because it is in the''' Forum Content type''', one responds through adding''' comments.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:18
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Let’s add a comment -

'''Sure I can help. You should just read everything at Drupalville!'''

And then click''' Save'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:35
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Since we are logged in as the''' super user''', these are automatically approved.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:40
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| If we click on''' General discussion''', we have one general discussion.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:47
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| '''Forum topic''' called''' Learning Drupal,''' with 1 comment.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 01:52
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Now, if we click on the comment, we can continue to add comments.

In this manner, we can create all kinds of''' forums'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:00
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Let’s click on the word''' Forums.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:08
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| You can click here to add a new '''forum topic''' that will be in the general discussion.

But as the '''administrator''', you might want more '''forums''' apart from this one.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:15
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| So, let’s do that.

Click on''' Structure''' and then on''' Forums.'''

Here’s where we can add new''' forums''' and new''' containers'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:28
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| If I want to''' add a forum''', I can do that and I can reorder them anyway I want.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 02:50
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| Let’s come back to''' Content''' and then on''' Add content''' and a''' Forum topic.'''

Now I have a choice of putting it in the other''' forums.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| 03:02
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.185cm;"| This is how we can maintain a nice''' forum''' like this, on our''' Drupal website.'''

With this we come to the end of our tutorial.
