Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Modifying the Page Layout.
00:06 In this tutorial, we will learn about:

Layouts Block Configuration and Permissions and Removing and Re-ordering blocks.

00:16 To record this tutorial, I am using:

Ubuntu Linux Operating System Drupal 8 and Firefox Web browser.

00:26 You can use any web browser as per your choice.
00:30 First, we will learn about layout.
00:33 Here, we will get an introduction to Themes and Blocks.
00:37 Themes gives us the general layout, look and feel of our site.
00:42 I will introduce you to Themes in a little while.
00:47 For now, understand that a Theme can be applied to a Drupal site, without changing the content.
00:54 And, it gives us the colour scheme, location of the Blocks and all the formatting for the text and images.
01:03 Previously, we learnt that Blocks are information that can be placed in various areas of a site.
01:10 Blocks go into Block regions and Block regions are determined by the Theme.
01:15 In the design area,

we have Blocks, we have Themes and we have Menus.

01:23 Please note, we didn’t talk about or apply our Themes earlier.
01:29 This was done to highlight the fact that we can apply a Theme at any point while building a site.
01:36 The only reason we’ve waited till now is to show that we can wait till the very end to apply a Theme.
01:42 But, I will always prefer to apply my Theme as soon as it’s ready.
01:49 Let us open our website which we created earlier.
01:52 Let’s now get into the layout with a look at Blocks and Block regions.
01:58 Blocks enable us to place information anywhere on our site.
02:03 Go to Structure and Block layout.
02:06 All the blocks that are available from our current theme are here.
02:11 For e.g: Header, Primary Menu, Secondary Menu and others.
02:18 We’ve actually already placed a few of those.
02:22 Recall, we had placed the "Welcome To Drupalville" custom block in the sidebar.
02:28 It appears in the left sidebar on this particular theme.
02:33 We also added a "Recent Events Added" view to our Left sidebar.
02:39 Now, let’s learn how to configure and to give permission to our blocks.
02:44 First, we need to know which Block Regions do what.
02:48 At the top, there is a Demonstrate Block Regions. Click on it.
02:53 Every theme in Drupal gives us this kind of a picture of where the Block Regions are.
03:00 Block Regions are dependent on the themes.
03:04 In Bartik, we have the options:
03:07 Secondary Menu, Header,
03:09 Primary Menu, Highlighted, Featured top, Breadcrumb, Sidebar first, Content
03:16 Sidebar second.
03:18 We can place any block in any region.
03:21 The important ones like the Content block should be left in the Content region.
03:27 Let us click on Exit.
03:30 Leave the Breadcrumbs block in the Breadcrumb region.
03:34 But, there are some other things we can move around.
03:38 Move the Search block by either- clicking and dragging it or
03:43 clicking on the drop down and putting it in the Header. And, it moves up.
03:49 Similarly, move the "Welcome to Drupalville" to the top of Sidebar first.
03:55 Save the changes by clicking on the Save button.
03:59 Now, let’s go to the Homepage to see the changes.
04:03 Here’s our search bar, up in the header.
04:06 And our "Welcome to Drupalville" block is now at the very top.
04:11 So, that’s how we position and order blocks.
04:15 Now, we will move to configurations and permissions of Blocks.
04:20 Click on Structure and Block layout.
04:24 And, let’s find our Recent Events Added block.
04:27 Right now, it’s in Sidebar first and it’s visible on every page.
04:33 Click on Configure.
04:35 Right now, Recent Events Added block is visible everywhere.
04:40 But we may want it to show up only on an event page.
04:44 Put a check-mark in Events and click Save Block.
04:49 Once again, scroll down and click Save Block button again.
04:54 Click Back to site.
04:56 Now, the Recent Events Added block is not there anymore.
05:00 But, if we go to an event, we can see Recent Events Added.
05:05 Now, up here, under the "Welcome to Drupalville" block, we see the welcome message

which is not necessary once we have logged in.

05:15 Let’s hide that.
05:17 Just click on the little pencil here and choose Configure block.
05:22 One of the great things about Drupal is, we can edit the front end using the pencil or the gear.
05:29 Instead of restricting by Content type, let’s restrict it by an individual page.
05:35 See here, ’Specify pages by using their paths..’.
05:40 To hide or show something on the front page, use this angle bracket- front- angle bracket.
05:47 Copy and paste it. Now choose "Show for the listed page".
05:52 Our welcome block will be only on the Homepage.
05:58 Let’s go one step further.
06:00 Click on Roles and put a check-mark in Anonymous user.
06:05 And click on Save block.
06:07 Now, it’s only going to show up when we’re not logged in.
06:12 We don’t see this message because we are logged in right now.
06:16 Let’s logout and our 'Welcome to Drupalville' block shows up again.
06:21 But when we login, and click on Home, it’s no longer there.
06:27 So, configuring, moving, and giving permissions to Blocks is really quite simple.
06:34 Let’s practice this more.
06:36 Click on Structure and then on Blocks.
06:40 We have the Main navigation in the Primary menu block.
06:44 If we move that, then our Main navigation will be in a completely different place.
06:51 Down here, at the bottom, we have: Featured bottom first, second and third
06:58 Footer first, second, third, fourth and fifth
07:03 Powered by Drupal and Footer menu in the Footer fifth location.
07:08 Right now, there are no disabled blocks.
07:12 Let’s put one of our menus in the Footer first block region.
07:17 Scroll back up to the top.
07:19 Find your User account menu and put that in Footer first.
07:25 It is immediately moved down.
07:28 Now, click on Save blocks.
07:31 Back to the site.
07:33 Scroll down and see that the user account, instead of being at the top, is down here in the footer.
07:40 So, any block can be placed anywhere, for any purpose.
07:45 Go back to Structure and Block layout.
07:49 Let’s now remove a block.
07:52 Let’s remove Powered by Drupal from the Footer fifth block.
07:57 Simply click on the drop-down and choose None. Then click on Save blocks.
08:04 Scroll down now.
08:06 We can see that Powered by Drupal block is now in the disabled block region.
08:12 Click on Back to site to see that it’s totally gone.
08:16 With this, we come to an end of this tutorial.
08:19 Let us summarize.
08:21 In this tutorial, we have learnt about:

Layouts Block Configuration and Permissions and Removing and re-ordering blocks.
