Revision as of 19:23, 5 September 2016

Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Configuration Management in Admin Interface.
00:09 In this tutorial, we will learn about some menu items, such as-
00:13 Extend,
00:15 Configuration,
00:16 People and
00:18 Report.
00:20 To record this tutorial, I am using:
  • Ubuntu Operating System
  • Drupal 8 and
  • 'Firefox' web browser.
00:29 You can use any web browser as per your choice.
00:34 Let us open our website which we created earlier.
00:38 As we mentioned earlier, Drupal is like a framework. So, it doesn’t actually do a lot.
00:45 This Extend link on the Administration toolbar is very important when we begin to build our site.
00:53 Click on Extend. This gives us an overview of all of the Modules on our site.
01:00 Modules are features.
01:02 We will cover them in detail later on.
01:06 This is the list of some of the Modules that come with Drupal.
01:11 We can see what has been enabled or not enabled, just by looking at the check marks.
01:18 The Extend menu allows us to see all the Modules or features that we have enabled on our Drupal site.
01:26 We will be adding a number of Modules to our site as we go throughout this series.
01:32 Let’s look at the Configuration menu now. Only site administrators get access to this area.
01:41 Because we are the superuser or the user number 1, we have access to everything.
01:47 Notice that there’s a red pop-up on the screen.
01:51 You may or may not have this on your screen.
01:54 It says that the status report hasn’t run and that I need to check if my Drupal site is up to date.
02:03 I’m going to ignore that for now, and worry about that when we get to the Reports screen.
02:09 This particular menu gives us access to configuring all the different aspects of our site
02:16 like - Site information, Account settings, Text formats and editors, Performance issues, Maintenance mode, Image styles and others.
02:30 We will go through these in detail later on in this series.
02:35 But for now, let us update our site information.
02:39 Click on Site information. And let’s change our Site name to "Drupalville" and in the Slogan, type: "A Great Place to Learn All About Drupal".
02:53 Whenever we make changes like this, they change the entire site.
02:58 This is one of the great things about content management systems.
03:04 So now, whether we had one page or a thousand pages on our site, the site name across the top of every single page will be "Drupalville".
03:16 That is a really big improvement over static HTML.
03:21 Also, on this page, we get the Email address which is the From address in automated emails.
03:29 We can also choose a different front page and a default 403 and 404 page.
03:37 Recall that in Drupal, every page is a web form.
03:41 So, every time we make a change on our Drupal page, we have to click Submit or Save.
03:49 Let’s click on Save configuration button at the bottom.
03:54 Then, click on Back to site.
03:58 Notice that our site name is now "Drupalville" and we have a slogan on every page of our site.
04:06 We will explore the Configuration menu in detail, in later tutorials.
04:12 Let’s click People on the Administration toolbar.
04:16 It takes us to the People area on our Drupal site.
04:20 You’ll notice the tabs- List, Permissions and Roles.
04:26 This is just an introduction; we’ll cover these in much more detail, later.
04:32 The Roles section allows us to create user accounts, manage permissions about what people can see and what people can do on our site.
04:44 The username "admin" is here.
04:47 If we click Edit, we can see all the things about our own user account.
04:54 We can change the Password, provided we know the current one.
04:59 There is an option to reset it, if we don’t know. Here, it tells us that our Role is Administrator.
05:09 My status is Active and we have our own Personal contact form and our LOCATION SETTINGS.
05:21 We can update and add our own picture by clicking on the Browse button, under Picture.
05:29 So, basically, this is where we can manage our own profile. Now, click on Save.
05:37 To summarize - Roles tab allows us to add various roles.
05:42 Permissions tab allows us to give certain permissions to those roles
05:48 and, List tab allows us to assign users to those roles.
05:54 They’ll get certain Permissions which will allow them to do certain things and see certain things on our Drupal site.
06:04 People is where we manage all the users on our Drupal website.
06:10 The last thing we will look at on our Administration toolbar is Reports.
06:16 Click on Reports.
06:18 This gives us a listing of some important things that we need to know about our Drupal site.
06:25 For example - Are there any Available updates?
06:28 Recent log messages,
06:31 A listing of all the fields on all entity types,
06:36 Status reports,
06:37 Top “access denied” and "Page not found” errors,
06:42 Top search phrases and some of the plugins that our Views may use.
06:49 Click on Available updates. This will give a listing of all the things that might need to be updated.
06:58 We can also see that the last update was 48 minutes ago.
07:04 This is managed by Cron and we need to set this up on our server.
07:10 For now, just click on Check manually.
07:15 Drupal will now check all the things that we have installed and let us know that we are up-to-date.
07:24 If we had added more Modules or features to our site, there would be a bigger list here.
07:32 We will check this again later on, as we go through this tutorial.
07:37 Click on Reports to get a Status report of our site. -
07:42 For example, what version of Drupal we have and when Cron was last run.
07:49 Here we can see a link from where we can run Cron externally.
07:55 Our Database system, Database version etc.
08:00 You should keep a close look on the Reports section of your site.
08:05 Especially, if you’re the person responsible for- maintaining all the updates for Drupal and the Modules that you download.
08:14 Lastly, we have Help and Help gives us links to help page of our site.
08:22 That sums up our Administration Toolbar.
08:26 With this we come to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize.
08:32 In this tutorial, we have learnt about menu items:
  • Extend
  • Configuration
  • People and
  • Report.
