| Welcome to the '''spoken tutorial''' on''' User Group and Entity Reference.'''

| In this tutorial, we will learn to:

* Create '''User Group Content type'''

|* Add '''User Group '''fields and

* Connect '''Content types '''with '''Entity reference'''.

| To record this tutorial, I am using:

* '''Firefox''' web browser.

| '''User Groups''' are a group of people who come together to organize an event.

|Examples could be- '''Cincinnati User group''', '''Drupal Mumbai group''', '''Bangalore Drupal group''' etc.

| User experience levels can be one of "Beginner, Intermediate" or "Advanced".

| To implement this, we will choose a "List (text)" '''Field Type'''.

| Click''' Add content type.'''  Let’s name this one as "User Groups".

| In the''' Description''', type: "This is where we track the Drupal groups from around the world".

| In the''' Title field label''', we will name this as "User Group Name".

|Click on''' Publishing options''' tab.

* '''Create new revision'''

| Now, click on''' Display settings''' tab.

| Lastly, click on''' Menu settings''' tab and uncheck the box for''' Main navigation'''.

| Here, let's change the''' Label''' for the''' Body.'''

| In the''' Label field''', let’s type:  "User Group Description" and then click on the''' Save settings''' button at the bottom.

| For this''' Content type,''' we are only going to set up 5 fields.

| In this case, we will click on''' Reuse an existing field''' drop-down.

| Notice that''' Link: field_event_ website''' field is available.

| Re-using a field allows us to re-use a''' table''' in the Drupal database.

| This is done by maintaining different settings for the same field.

| In this case, it makes more sense to set up a new field.

| In''' Add a new field''' drop-down, choose the '''"Link" field type'''.

|In''' Label''', type "Group Website".

| Click''' Save and continue''' and then click''' Save field settings.'''

| This time, we will select''' External links only''', since no''' User Groups''' actually has a page in''' Drupalville''' yet.

|This time, we will use a''' Text field''' for the contact person’s name.

| Click on''' Add a new field''' drop-down and choose the '''field type "Text (plain)".'''

|We will name the '''Label''' as "Group Contact".

| Click''' Save and continue''' and then''' Save field settings.'''

| Once more, click on''' Add field''' button. This time, let’s choose the "Email" field in the drop-down.

|We will name the '''Label''' as "Contact Email".''' Click on''' Save and continue''' button.

| This time, in the '''Field type '''drop-down, select the "List (text)" option.

| In the''' Label''' field, we will type "Group Experience" and then click''' Save and continue''' button.

| One of the things about this '''Field type ''' that should be kept in mind, is given in this message.

|"These settings impact the way the data is stored in the database and cannot be changed once data has been created".

| Let’s add our values here - "Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced" and "Expert".

| We have one more field to add here, that is the''' Entity reference field'''.

| 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'''.

| This is a very common thing in a website where you want to '''link''' two different contents together.

| Now, let’s set this up. Click on''' Add field.'''

| Click on''' Add a new field''' drop-down. This time, choose''' Content''' under''' Reference.'''

|In the''' Label''' field, we will type "Events Sponsored" and then click''' Save and continue''' button.

| Click on''' Structure.''' Then click on''' Content types''' here in the '''bread crumbs'''.

| Let's add one more field. Under''' Add a new field''' drop-down, choose''' Content.'''

|In the''' Label''' field, type "Event Sponsors".

| Now, this links those '''two Content Types''' together in a''' many to many relationship.'''

|In this tutorial, we have learnt to: * Create '''User Group Content type'''

|*Add '''User Group '''fields and

* Connect '''Content types '''with '''Entity reference'''.
