Revision as of 12:57, 7 September 2016

Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Taxonomy.
00:05 In this tutorial, we will learn about:
  • Taxonomy and
  • Adding a Taxonomy.
00:11 To record this tutorial, I am using:
  • Ubuntu Linux Operating System
  • Drupal 8 and
  • Firefox Web browser.

You can use any web browser as per your choice.

00:23 Let us open our website which we created earlier.
00:27 Now that we have all of our Content types and fields built, we need to add categorization. And, that’s where Taxonomy comes in.
00:37 Taxonomy is nothing else but Categories.
00:41 Going back to our IMDB example, recall that we had a Movie Genre field on the IMDB site.
00:50 Well, here’s the way it works in Drupal’s taxonomy.
00:54 Movie genre would be a vocabulary and that’s the term for the main category.
01:00 And in that vocabulary, we have Terms.
01:04 So, on the screen, we have ACTION, ADVENTURE, COMEDY, DRAMA and ROMANCE.
01:11 And then under COMEDY, we have ROMANTIC, ACTION, SLAPSTICK and SCREWBALL.
01:18 We can have unlimited nested categories or terms in a Drupal vocabulary or taxonomy.
01:24 Now, here’s one thing that is really important.
01:28 One area that many sites fail on is -

using the built-in tagging widget or the tag vocabulary to categorize their content.

01:37 While it is great to be able to add categories on the fly, it has some inherent problems.
01:44 What happens if someone types a typo?
01:47 So, "energy" – e n e r g y isn’t the same as e n r e g y and Drupal doesn’t know the difference.
01:56 So, suddenly we will have 2 categories and the content is no longer connected.
02:02 That’s why we always recommend a closed taxonomy, like the one on the screen.
02:08 It’s easy to set up and we are going to do that later on, in this series.
02:12 For now understand that Taxonomy can be used in so many ways.
02:17 We’ve already seen how it creates lists of content. But we can also use taxonomy to filter and sort all kinds of Views, if we use it correctly.
02:28 Well, let’s dive into taxonomy now.
02:32 We will set up a taxonomy for our 'Events' Content type.
02:35 Click on Structure, scroll down and click on Taxonomy.
02:41 As you probably remember, we have been setting up tags all along.
02:46 But as I mentioned earlier, we want to have a closed taxonomy-

something that we can control and not something that people can easily add terms to.

02:56 So, we will click on Add vocabulary. Let’s name this as "Event Topics".
03:02 In the Description, we will type - "this is where we track the topics for Drupal events".
03:09 Click Save. Now we can add terms to our vocabulary.

Click on Add a term.

03:16 On the screen, you see a list of the terms that we are going to add –

Introduction to Drupal, Site Building,

03:24 Module Development,

Theming, and Performance.

03:28 Let’s add those – Introduction to Drupal and click Save.
03:34 And, it brings us back to this Add screen again.
03:39 Now, I’ll type "Site Building" and click Save.
03:43 "Module Development" and click Save. "Theming". I’m just pressing Enter and it automatically saves.
03:53 And then the last one is "Performance" and click Save.
03:57 We can add complex vocabulary here, but we’ll just keep this simple for now.
04:03 Clicking on Taxonomy here and listing the terms in the Event Topics.
04:09 We now have Introduction, Module Development, Performance, Site Building and Theming.
04:16 And, they’re in alphabetical order.
04:19 But, I want to arrange them in the order of difficulty.
04:23 So, I’m going to move Module Development down, Site Building up.
04:27 And, I am going to put Theming after Site Building and then Performance at the very end.
04:34 Just click and drag these. Always remember to save your changes.
04:39 Otherwise Drupal won’t remember them after you leave the screen.
04:44 So, click Save. And there we have our terms in the order that we want.
04:50 We have added the taxonomy but our Content type doesn’t know about this yet.
04:56 So, let’s go and click on Structure, Content types.
05:00 And let’s manage our Fields and the 'Events' Content type. Then click Add field.
05:06 Selecting a field type in this case is a Reference to the Taxonomy term, in the vocabulary that we just created.
05:14 So, choose Taxonomy term and let’s name this Event Topics. Click Save and continue.
05:23 And now it’s going to ask us which Type of item to reference.
05:28 Since we have already chosen that, be careful here. We will change it to Unlimited because an event can have more than one topic.
05:37 Click Save field settings.
05:40 And down here, we need to make sure that we choose the correct Reference type.
05:46 Let’s choose Event Topics. Here, this is going to allow us to create references entities if they don’t already exist.
05:56 This is called Inline entity reference. Basically, it means, if there was a topic that wasn’t in our listing, then any user can add it on the fly.
06:07 We don’t want anyone to do that. So, we will leave that unchecked.
06:11 Click Save settings.
06:15 There is one more step before we add content.
06:18 We need to set up our URL patterns and we usually do this before we add content.
06:24 This ensures that the content we add has the correct human-friendly URL.
06:30 We’ll do that later on, in this series. With this, we come to the end of this tutorial.
06:36 Let us summarize.
06:39 In this tutorial, we have learnt about:
  • Taxonomy and
  • Adding a Taxonomy.
06:48 This video is adapted from Acquia and OSTraining and revised by Spoken Tutorial Project, IIT Bombay.
