| 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, 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 the 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 can manage all the users on our Drupal website. |
| 06:10 | The last thing we 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 us 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. |
