| 00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on User Group and Entity Reference. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn to:
Create User Group Content type |
| 00:11 |
Add User Group fields and Connect Content types with Entity reference. |
| 00:18 | To record this tutorial, I am using:
Ubuntu Operating System Drupal 8 and Firefox web browser. |
| 00:27 | You can use any web browser as per your choice. |
| 00:32 | Let us recall the Events Content type we created in the previous tutorial. |
| 00:38 | We had created the first five fields shown here. |
| 00:42 | To create the Event Sponsor field, we need to create the 'User Groups' Content type. |
| 00:48 | User Groups are a group of people who come together to organize an event. |
| 00:54 | Examples could be- Cincinnati User group, Drupal Mumbai group, Bangalore Drupal group etc. |
| 01:03 | Let us first design the User Groups on a paper. |
| 01:07 | A group can have a website, a contact person, their email and their experience level. |
| 01:15 | Drupal has default fields for URL and Email, so we have chosen these field types. |
| 01:23 | A person’s name can be captured by a Name field. But we will use Text (plain) for now. |
| 01:31 | User experience levels can be one of "Beginner, Intermediate" or "Advanced". |
| 01:39 | To implement this, we will choose a "List (text)" Field Type. |
| 01:45 | The last field here is for capturing all the events sponsored by this group. |
| 01:51 | For this, we can use Entity reference field to link to an existing Events Content type. |
| 02:01 | Let's set up 'User Groups' Content type. |
| 02:05 | Click Add content type. Let’s name this one as "User Groups". |
| 02:11 | Notice that the Machine name is user underscore groups. |
| 02:16 | In the Description, type: "This is where we track the Drupal groups from around the world". |
| 02:23 | In the Title field label, we will name this as "User Group Name". |
| 02:29 | Let's set this up in the same manner as our Events Content type. |
| 02:35 | Click on Publishing options tab. |
| 02:38 | Under Default options, let’s check the boxes for-
Create new revision Published and Promoted to front page. |
| 02:48 | Now, click on Display settings tab. |
| 02:52 | Then uncheck the box for Display author and date information. |
| 02:58 | Lastly, click on Menu settings tab and uncheck the box for Main navigation. |
| 03:05 | Once we have got that set, we can click on Save and manage fields button at the bottom. |
| 03:13 | We are redirected to Manage fields page. |
| 03:17 | Here, let's change the Label for the Body. |
| 03:21 | Click on the Edit button under the Operations column. |
| 03:26 | In the Label field, let’s type: "User Group Description" and then click on the Save settings button at the bottom. |
| 03:36 | We can see the green success message at the top. |
| 03:40 | For this Content type, we are only going to set up 5 fields. |
| 03:46 | We have already created one field. Let's now create another one. |
| 03:52 | Click Add field button. |
| 03:55 | In this case, we will click on Re-use an existing field drop-down. |
| 04:02 | Notice that Link: field_event_ website field is available. |
| 04:08 | Because we already named it as Event website. |
| 04:13 | Re-using a field allows us to re-use a table in the Drupal database. |
| 04:20 | This is done by maintaining different settings for the same field. |
| 04:25 | In this case, it makes more sense to set up a new field. |
| 04:30 | In Add a new field drop-down, choose the "Link" field type. |
| 04:35 | In Label, type "Group Website". |
| 04:39 | Click Save and continue and then click Save field settings. |
| 04:45 | This time, we will select External links only, since no User Groups actually has a page in "Drupalville" yet. |
| 04:54 | Click Save settings button at the bottom. |
| 04:57 | Once again, click on Add field. |
| 05:01 | This time, we will use a Text field for the contact person’s name. |
| 05:07 | Click on Add a new field drop-down and choose the field type "Text (plain)". |
| 05:14 | We will name the Label as "Group Contact". |
| 05:18 | Click Save and continue and then Save field settings. |
| 05:24 | Then click on the Save settings button at the bottom. |
| 05:28 | Once more, click on Add field button. This time, let’s choose the "Email" field in the drop-down. |
| 05:37 | We will name the Label as "Contact Email". Click on Save and continue button. |
| 05:44 | In Allowed number of values, we need only 1. Click on Save field settings. |
| 05:52 | There are no other settings here. So, we will click on Save settings button at the bottom. |
| 05:59 | Once more, click on Add field button. |
| 06:03 | This time, in the Field type drop-down, select the "List (text)" option. |
| 06:09 | In the Label field, we will type "Group Experience" and then click Save and continue button. |
| 06:16 | One of the things about this Field type that should be kept in mind, is given in this message. |
| 06:23 | "These settings impact the way the data is stored in the database and cannot be changed once data has been created". |
| 06:32 | This is one of the reasons we emphasize planning. |
| 06:37 | Let’s add our values here - "Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced" and "Expert". |
| 06:44 | Our User Group could very easily have more than one of these values applicable to them. |
| 06:51 | Change Allowed number of values from Limited to Unlimited and then click Save field settings. |
| 07:01 | Now, click Save settings. |
| 07:04 | We have one more field to add here, that is the Entity reference field. |
| 07:10 | Now we learn about what is Entity Reference and how to create it. |
| 07:17 | 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. |
| 07:28 | This is a very common thing in a website where you want to link two different contents together. |
| 07:35 | Events are sponsored by User Groups. So, we want to have the User Group information to be available to every event. |
| 07:45 | Now, let’s set this up. Click on Add field. |
| 07:49 | If you are a database person, you will recognize these as a many to many relationship within the data. |
| 07:57 | Click on Add a new field drop-down. This time, choose Content under Reference. |
| 08:04 | In the Label field, we will type "Events Sponsored" and then click Save and continue button. |
| 08:12 | Next, we are asked to choose the Type of item to reference. |
| 08:17 | You can see there are a lot of options here. |
| 08:21 | We are going to keep it very simple - choose Content. |
| 08:26 | In Allowed number of values, let’s choose Unlimited. |
| 08:31 | Then click Save field settings. |
| 08:34 | Here, on the Settings page, we get to choose which Content types are referenced by the User Groups. |
| 08:42 | We are referencing 'Events' Content type. |
| 08:46 | Here, when I am adding an event, only the events will show up when I start typing the Events title. |
| 08:55 | Hence, we need to make sure that we have selected the right Content Type here. |
| 09:01 | Choose Events and click Save settings. |
| 09:05 | Now, we need to do the same thing in our Events Content type. |
| 09:10 | Click on Structure. Then click on Content types here, in the bread crumbs. |
| 09:16 | Then for the Events Content type, select Manage fields. |
| 09:21 | Let's add one more field. Under Add a new field drop-down, choose Content. |
| 09:28 | In the Label field, type: "Event Sponsors". |
| 09:32 | Click Save and continue |
| 09:34 | Change Allowed number of values; let’s choose Unlimited. |
| 09:39 | This is because more than one User Group could sponsor an event. Now, click on Save field settings. |
| 09:48 | This time, under REFERENCE TYPE, choose User groups. |
| 09:53 | Again, this is because we are referencing User Groups for the Events Sponsors field. |
| 09:59 | Click Save settings. |
| 10:01 | Now, this links those two Content Types together in a many to many relationship. |
| 10:08 | These are based on events sponsors and what Events are being sponsored by what User Groups. |
| 10:16 | With this, we come to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize. |
| 10:22 | In this tutorial, we have learnt to:
Create User Group Content type |
| 10:28 |
Add User Group fields and Connect Content types with Entity reference. |
