| 00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on “Overview of Drupal”. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn about:
|
| 00:13 |
|
| 00:19 | First, let us understand what is Drupal. Drupal is a free and open source, Content Management System (CMS). |
| 00:30 | What is a CMS?
It is not like the old days where we have several html files, uploaded on a server. |
| 00:40 | In the traditional way, each webpage has its own html file. |
| 00:47 | Now it is very different.
Each page is constructed using various components. |
| 00:55 | Each of the component can come from different places. |
| 01:00 | These components are assembled on the fly, using some programming logic. |
| 01:06 | So, depending on where you are viewing, say a desktop or a mobile, it could be different. |
| 01:14 | It can also change depending on who is viewing it from where.
You may be a student viewing it from India, |
| 01:23 | or a customer buying something from Singapore.
Each of you could see a different page. |
| 01:32 | CMS is the program behind this presentation logic. |
| 01:37 | It uses various programming functionalities such as PHP, Ajax, Javascript etc. |
| 01:47 | All CMS usually use a database to store information content without any formatting. |
| 01:55 | The formatting of content is done separately. |
| 02:00 | CMS makes even non-technical users to manage a website easily. |
| 02:07 | Drupal is one such CMS that is open source, meaning the code is freely available. |
| 02:15 | Anybody can download and change it. |
| 02:18 | Drupal was founded in 2000 by Dries Buytaert, when he was a student. |
| 02:24 | Since making it open source, several thousands of people have helped in modifying the code. |
| 02:32 | They then give it back to the community with small improvements. |
| 02:37 | Drupal community is one of the largest and closely knit open source community. |
| 02:43 | This community has developers, site-builders, volunteers who make Drupal what it is today. |
| 02:51 | It is said that in Drupal, you “Come for the code, stay for the community”. |
| 02:58 | May be, you will stick to the community for the same reason. |
| 03:02 | Let me list out the top 10 features of Drupal. |
| 03:06 | Number 1:
Drupal is free and completely open source. |
| 03:11 | Anybody can download the source code and modify it. |
| 03:15 | Even if you’re a developer, Drupal is very useful. |
| 03:20 | Number 2:
Drupal is flexible. |
| 03:24 | Drupal is one of the most adaptive systems available today. |
| 03:28 | Drupal works well with sophisticated websites that require many different custom data structures. |
| 03:35 | Developers use it as both CMS and as a broader web development platform. |
| 03:42 | Number 3:
Drupal is mobile-ready. |
| 03:46 | We can view and administer every page on our Drupal site, from any mobile device we choose. |
| 03:54 | Number 4:
Drupal is fantastic for big projects. |
| 04:00 | From the whitehouse.gov to weather.com and Dallas Cowboys, Drupal can handle any project. |
| 04:08 | Drupal shines with more complex websites. |
| 04:12 | It’s one of the best solutions for people who want to build a feature rich website. |
| 04:19 | And it’s also highly suitable for large enterprises. |
| 04:24 | Number 5:
Drupal is friendly, social and searchable. |
| 04:29 | Drupal helps people find my site and my content. |
| 04:34 | Also,Drupal allows site editors to add tags, descriptions, keywords and human-friendly URLs. |
| 04:45 | Number 6:
Drupal is safe and secure. |
| 04:50 | Drupal keeps our site safe with regular security updates, hash passwords, |
| 04:57 | session IDs that change when permissions change, |
| 05:01 | text format permissions restricting user input and a lot more. |
| 05:07 | Drupal takes security very seriously. |
| 05:11 | Number 7:
We can extend our Drupal site by using thousands of Modules that add features to the Drupal site. |
| 05:18 | Think of any feature and somebody has mostly built a Module and made it available free. |
| 05:27 | We can have multiple Themes or versions of a Theme on the same site.
And yet, have complete control over the visual presentation of your website data. |
| 05:40 | Number 8:
If you need help, there is a helpful community around Drupal and it is huge! |
| 05:48 | There are rupal events all over the world. |
| 05:52 | Local events are called Drupal camps. |
| 05:55 | And every year, there are major DrupalCons all around the world. |
| 06:01 | There are very active Forums, User Groups and IRC chats dedicated to Drupal support. |
| 06:08 | Number 9:
There are some very large and experienced companies around Drupal. |
| 06:15 | Acquia, partner for this series, is the largest Drupal company. |
| 06:21 | In India, there are more than sixty Drupal service companies. There are also hundreds of freelancers who know Drupal. |
| 06:32 | Number 10:
Drupal is everywhere. There are over 1.2 million websites at the time of this recording. |
| 06:40 | Drupal runs 3 percent of the entire web and 15 percent of the top ten thousand websites. |
| 06:50 | Drupal is highly popular with governments, education, non-profits and large enterprises. |
| 06:58 | In this tutorial series, we will learn the following topics- * How to install Drupal. |
| 07:04 | We will show you how to install Drupal and other associated software. |
| 07:10 | Almost anybody can do this, you need not be Linux or Windows administration savvy for this. |
| 07:18 | * The content workflow-
Here, we will learn how the basic content of a website is organized within Drupal. |
| 07:26 | We will also create a simple website content as though you are editing it in a word processor. |
| 07:34 | Then we will learn some of the powerful features that make Drupal unique. |
| 07:40 | They are relationships between content, programmatic formatted display of several contents and so on. |
| 07:49 | * How to extend Drupal-
The second most powerful feature of Drupal is Modules or Extensions. |
| 07:56 | As mentioned before, there is a Module, like an app, for almost any feature you require. |
| 08:05 | Given that there are tens of thousands of Modules, we will show you how to select a Module for your purpose. |
| 08:13 | * How to layout the site-
Once the basic content and features are ready, we need to make a beautiful display of it. |
| 08:24 | In the layout part, we will learn how easy it is to change the look and feel of the website. |
| 08:31 | Like Modules, the layout or Themes are also available as community contributions. |
| 08:38 | * How to manage people- |
| 08:40 | Unlike other single user oriented CMS, such as WordPress, Drupal is often used in situations where different users to do different things in the website. |
| 08:53 | In people management part, we will learn how to set up different roles and give them different permissions. |
| 09:01 | * How to properly manage the site; finally, in the last part, we will learn how to manage the code of Drupal. |
| 09:11 | It is important to keep the site updated for security and stability. |
| 09:17 | It is also helpful to get new features to make the site more user friendly. |
| 09:24 | With this, we come to the end of this tutorial. |
