| 00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Creating Basic Content. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn about:
Content types Creating an article and Creating a basic page. |
| 00:15 | To record this tutorial, I am using:
Ubuntu Linux Operating System Drupal 8 and Firefox Web browser. |
| 00:25 | You can use any web browser as per your choice. |
| 00:29 | First, let us learn about Content type. In Drupal, Content type is the core of the content management system. |
| 00:39 | It is like the backbone of a site. |
| 00:42 | It is one of the things that sets Drupal apart from the other CMS. |
| 00:48 | Most of the CMS just have a title and a body and that as it turns out, is completely inadequate. |
| 00:57 | In Drupal, every content item is called a node. Each node belongs to a single Content type. |
| 01:06 | Next, let us understand the importance of Content type. Content type defines various default settings for nodes of that type such as- |
| 01:17 | whether the node is published automatically whether the comments are permitted and |
| 01:23 | how content gets added to our site. Every Content type has fields. |
| 01:30 | We have fields for information that we need, depending on what kind of content is going in. |
| 01:38 | Let me illustrate it this way. This is IMDb.Com which could be a Drupal site. This is about the movie Red. |
| 01:49 | On the screen, you will see -
a poster, a title, a release date, |
| 01:55 | a parental rating,a run time,a movie genre, |
| 01:59 | a body or a description for the movie. |
| 02:04 | We will have a set of people fields as well as some other links and buttons and things. |
| 02:09 | In other CMSs we could use something like Dreamweaver to create this layout in CSS. |
| 02:16 | What happens if we want-
a landing page for all the movies in 2010 that stars Bruce Willis with the parental rating of PG 13. |
| 02:28 | If you are using another CMS, it is difficult to do this. But in Drupal, it is done very easily. |
| 02:37 | This is the real advantage of Content types. Now, let us go and explore some built-in Content types. |
| 02:46 | Later, we will also learn about creating new Content types. Open our Drupal site which we created earlier. |
| 02:54 | First, we will learn about Article Content type. Click on Content and then on Add content. |
| 03:04 | Remember, we have already created one article. We will now create another article with all the elements. |
| 03:13 | Click on Article. In an article, there’s only one mandatory field, i.e. the Title. |
| 03:21 | If we don’t put text in the body, we will have nothing. An Article Content type comes with the Summary. |
| 03:28 | If we don't put anything in the Summary, Drupal will take the first few characters to create it. This is called the Teaser mode. |
| 03:38 | Let’s proceed. We will type a few lines of text here. |
| 03:43 | You can type any text that you want. |
| 03:45 | This is my text. |
| 03:50 | Here, Text format shows what elements we are allowed to put into the HTML. |
| 03:56 | We have Basic, Restricted and Full HTML. Because we are the super user, we can see everything. |
| 04:05 | Normally, when a user logs in as an editor or publisher, there is only one Text format here.
They are allowed to use only that Text format. |
| 04:17 | For more details, click on About text formats link. |
| 04:22 | For now, let's select Basic HTML. |
| 04:26 | Basic HTML allows us to look at the source code and use some basic HTML elements like- |
| 04:33 | a paragraph tag, strong italic, |
| 04:36 | unordered list, ordered list and a few others. |
| 04:41 | Full HTML allows us to embed any HTML including JavaScript and iframes. |
| 04:48 | In Restricted HTML, we will just be allowed to enter something like a paragraph tag or line breaks. |
| 04:57 | The WYSIWYG editor is CKEditor. We will learn about it later. |
| 05:03 | Here we can see bold, italics, linking, unordered and ordered lists, block quote and image. |
| 05:11 | A formatting drop down to choose different H tags and then View Source. |
| 05:18 | When I change the Text format, I get more buttons. We will learn about them later. |
| 05:25 | Let's leave it at Basic HTML, for now. Click on Continue button. |
| 05:32 | Let's finish our article. Once again, let's use the tags - "introduction" and "drupal". |
| 05:40 | We will leave the Image blank for now. You have already seen how that works. |
| 05:47 | Here, on the right, we get the visibility and publication settings. |
| 05:52 | Click on Create new revision check-box to enable version control for this particular article. |
| 05:59 | If we want to add an article to a menu link, click on Provide a menu link check-box. Drupal will add a menu item to the Main navigation. |
| 06:11 | If you do that, we will get hundreds of mails. So, let’s remove the check mark. |
| 06:17 | We can turn Comments ON or OFF on a particular node. |
| 06:22 | Here we can give the URL alias. |
| 06:26 | If kept blank, then Drupal will create this for us. |
| 06:30 | Under AUTHORING INFORMATION, we can see who created this node and when they created it. |
| 06:37 | Under PROMOTION OPTIONS, we can set the view settings like-
whether this node will be promoted to the front page and whether it will be sticky at the top of the list. |
| 06:50 | These are set up when we create our Content type and the editor doesn't need to change those. |
| 06:56 | But we can make changes as per our preferences. |
| 07:00 | Finally, click Save and publish to save our node. |
| 07:04 | Immediately, the node is live on our site. We can see it here. |
| 07:10 | Click on Home page. |
| 07:12 | We have our "Welcome to Drupalville" and "Drupalville's Second Article". |
| 07:17 | In Teaser mode, these are displayed in publication date order. |
| 07:23 | The Read more and Add new comment links are here. |
| 07:28 | To get a list of all the nodes tagged with the word Drupal, click on drupal link. |
| 07:35 | Again, the nodes are displayed in publication date order. |
| 07:40 | That's the Article Content type. |
| 07:43 | Let us click on Edit link. |
| 07:45 | We can insert anything we want here. |
| 07:48 | Drupal gives a lot of options, by default. |
| 07:52 | Let us click on Save and keep published. |
| 07:56 | We can use Content types for anything. |
| 07:58 | Let's add another item. Click on Shortcuts and Add content. |
| 08:04 | Choose Basic page. Basic page contains the Title and the Body. |
| 08:10 | There are no tags or images. It is not "Promoted to the front page", by default. |
| 08:17 | Also, there is no provision for commenting. Because it’s not promoted to the Home page, it's easy to create a new menu. |
| 08:27 | Type: "About Drupalville". |
| 08:30 | Type some text of your choice here. |
| 08:33 | Now, check the Provide a menu link under MENU SETTINGS. |
| 08:38 | You will see that the Title changes to a Menu Title. |
| 08:43 | We could shorten this, if we want. Check it in the Main navigation and keep the Weight at 0, for now. |
| 08:51 | Weight is where the menu will appear in the list. A lower number or negative number will make it appear higher i.e. it will flow to the top. |
| 09:03 | Leave everything else the same. Make sure menu link is checked and click Save and publish. |
| 09:11 | We get an About Drupalville link. It will take us to our Basic page Content type with a node title About Drupalville. |
| 09:22 | The node ID shows 3. If you have added other nodes earlier, then your node ID might be different from mine. |
| 09:32 | At the bottom left, we can see this is node ID 3. You won’t need that very often, however. |
| 09:41 | That is the article and the Basic page Content type with a menu link. With this we come to the end of this tutorial. |
| 09:50 | Let us summarize. In this tutorial, we have learnt about:
Content types Creating an article and Creating a basic page. |
