Content Management in Admin Interface

Learning Objectives

We will also learn about some menu items, such as

• Content
• Structure and
• Appearance

System requirement

• Ubuntu Operating System
• Drupal 8 and
• Firefox web browser

You can use any web browser as per your choice.

We may set up some other administrators who have all the permissions, in the future.

But, those permissions also can be revoked or managed by the Super user.

Here, we can see Content, Structure, Appearance, etc and we will look at them in a little while.

Again we will look at it in a few minutes.

Yours may be different.

And it in an important part of our Drupal administration experience.

Say, I am in Manage, Content >> Add Content.

And I want to add an Article to my website.

Notice a star here, that isn’t filled in.

And we can easily remove it when we have finished creating articles.

Shortcuts make it really quick to move around.

Notice that there are tabs and these kind of tabs will appear all over the site.

These are some things you will need to know as we move through the Drupal interface.

The dashboard lays out all the content on the site.

We can filter by Content Type also or we can search by any Title and choose any Language.

And if we click on the word Files, we will get a listing of all the files that have been uploaded so far.

These could be either an image or some kind of file.

We will learn about them later.

Let us type “Welcome to Drupalville.”

And it is going to give all kinds of information about Drupal.

“Welcome to our site! We are so glad you stopped by!”

We will cover that in later tutorials.

• has been provided in the Code Files link
• in the webpage of this tutorial.

Please download and use it.

Notice that as soon as we upload it, Drupal asks for an Alternative text which is required.

The little red asterix indicates that it’s mandatory.

• what screen readers see
• and blind people hear
• and what google finds when it looks at our site.

Now click Save and publish.

The Title, Content Type, who created it, the Status of the node, the last update time.

And some operations that we can do like Edit, Delete, etc.

We will be learning about them soon.

Let’s click on that.

Its also called as site building.

There are a number of things here -

Block layout, Comment types, Contact forms, Content types, Display modes, Menus, Taxonomy, Views.

We will cover it in more detail later.

"Welcome to Drupalville. This is where you’ll learn all about Drupal!"

Blocks are a little bit different and are like the sidebars.

Scroll down to Sidebar first and click Place block.

Then click on Place block.

For now, click on Save block.

This is the part of the site building process in the Structure menu item.

It also gives us the ability to check for updates and do global settings.

This is where we will manage the look and feel of our site depending upon the Theme we have selected.

Or even manually choose the colours on our own.

We can also Toggle the display for some of these, on our site.

Here, we can change the logo for our site, give it a custom Path, or even upload a new one.

Go back to our site and we will notice that the logo has gone.

Click on Use the default logo and click Save configuration.

With this we come to the end of this tutorial.
