Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Managing Content.
00:06 In this tutorial, we will learn to: * Create new content
00:11 * Manage content and * Revisions.
00:15 To record this tutorial, I am using:
  • Ubuntu Operating System
  • Drupal 8 and
  • Firefox web browser.
00:25 You can use any web browser as per your choice.
00:29 Let us open our website which we created earlier.
00:33 Now we will learn how to create new content.
00:37 We will add our first Event. Click on Content.
00:42 Click on Add content and choose Events.
00:46 We will set up a sample Event to demonstrate some things that we have set up.
00:52 I will type: “DrupalCamp Cincinnati” in the Event Name field.
00:58 In the Event Description field, type: “This is the first DrupalCamp in the southern Ohio region”.
01:07 Note that the Create New revision check-box is turned ON here.
01:12 We don’t have to do anything over here on the right hand side.
01:17 Leave the Event Logo as blank for now.
01:21 But we do want an Event Website.
01:24 So, we’ll type the URL as http://drupalcampcincinnati.org
01:34 In the Link text, we will leave this blank. The display would just be the actual URL; so, we will do that for now.
01:44 When we click on the Event Date, a little calendar pops up.
01:49 Let’s select January 11th 2016.
01:54 Now we can’t add any EVENT SPONSORS yet, because we don’t have any User Groups set up.
02:01 Another important Drupal feature is Inline Entity Reference.
02:07 It allows you to add user groups on the fly. But we will learn about this later.
02:13 We have some EVENT TOPICS. Let us type ‘I’ and select ‘Introduction to Drupal’.
02:21 Click on Add another item. This time we will type ‘m'.
02:27 Notice that all topics that have an ‘m’ in it, will show up.
02:32 So, let’s select Module Development. You can choose other topics if you want.
02:38 Then click Save and publish.
02:41 Here is our DrupalCamp Cincinnati node.
02:45 The Title, the Body, the Event Website which is automatically a link but it doesn’t really exist.
02:53 We can change this Event Date format, if we want.
02:58 This is a taxonomy.
03:00 If this link is clicked, every single Event tagged to Introduction to Drupal would be available and will be listed in publication date order.
03:12 We have just created our very first event node successfully.
03:17 Now, let’s click on Shortcuts and Add content and this time let’s add our User Group.
03:27 We will call this as "Cincinnati User Group".
03:31 In the User Group Description field, type: “This is the user group from the southern Ohio region based in Cincinnati”.
03:42 “We meet on the 3rd Thursday of every month”.
03:47 We can also add more information there.
03.51 The URL for this User Group is: https colon slash slash groups dot drupal dot org slash Cincinnati.
04:03 It’s non-existent as of now. But, this is how it would usually appear.
04:10 To find a User Group in your area, come to groups dot drupal dot org
04:16 Then do a quick search based on what you might be interested in.
04:21 There are many User Groups around the world.
04:25 In Group Contact, let’s type: "Drupal space Group" and in the Contact Email, type: "drupalgroup@email.com".
04:38 Note that this should be a properly formatted email address. Otherwise, Drupal will reject it.
04:46 Choose Group Level from the multiple options here.
04:50 And, in the EVENTS SPONSORED, we have to choose an Event.
04:55 If you just type 'd', "Drupal Camp Cincinnati" will appear in the drop-down.
05:02 Click Save and Publish.
05:05 We have successfully created our first User Group.
05:09 Now we will learn about managing our content.
05:13 If we click on Content, we will get a list of all the content on our site.
05:19 It doesn’t matter what Content type it is, we can see all the content.
05:25 We can filter by Publish status, Content type and by Title.
05:32 If we type ‘W’ here and click Filter, we’ll only get the nodes which begin with ‘w’.
05:41 Click on Reset.
05:43 If we have multiple languages, we can choose another language as well.
05:49 And, once we’ve got our list, we can select more than one node at a time and do some things Like- Delete, make it Sticky, Promote it, Publish it etc.
06:04 So, I’ll select Unpublish content and click on Apply.
06:09 Notice that the status of my selected nodes has been updated to Unpublished.
06:16 This is the easiest place to manage content.
06:20 Let’s select all the nodes at once. Click on Publish and then on Apply.
06:28 It doesn’t matter if some are already published. Now all the content is published.
06:35 We can also Edit or Delete a single node here or select a batch of nodes and delete the content.
06:44 Managing content in Drupal is quite simple. Just click on the Content link in the toolbar and it brings you to this page.
06:54 Using the tabs at the top, we can manage the Comments that have been made.
07:00 And also the Files that have been uploaded in any file field.
07:05 To view the image, click on it and it will open on the screen.
07:10 To see where the image is used, click on the Places link. It gives us a list of nodes where the file is used.
07:20 We can manage our Content, Comments and Files from the Content link in the Administration toolbar.
07:29 Now, let’s add a comment to one of our nodes.
07:33 I’m going to add a comment – “Great Node! Fantastic content.”.
07:39 Click Save.
07:42 Since we’re logged in as the superuser, everything is already approved for us. We don’t actually have to do anything.
07:50 If you set up comments for approval, then you can click Content, Comments and you’ll be able to manage them here.
07:59 For example - bulk publish comments or delete them from this screen.
08:05 Managing Content, Comments and Files is all done from one place, in Drupal.
08:12 Next, let us update a node or make a change to a node and see how Revisions works.
08:20 Click on Home link to come to the Home page.
08:24 Click on Quick edit on DrupalCamp Cincinnati.
08:29 Let’s add some more content to the body of this node – “There is another great camp in Columbus every October.”
08:39 Click Save.
08:41 And now, click on DrupalCamp Cincinnati and you’ll see a new tab called Revisions.
08:49 Click on Revisions and you will see that admin has updated this node at 2:37 and it’s the Current version.
09:00 The old version is also available.
09:03 On clicking it, we can look at the old version which doesn’t have the second paragraph.
09:09 To go back, click on Revisions. Then we can either Revert or Delete that old version.
09:18 There are other Modules that make this a little easier.
09:22 But Drupal has complete version control built in. So, you know who, and when changes were made to any given node and you can revert back whenever you want.
09:36 So version control in Drupal is built in and is really helpful.
09:41 With this, we come to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize.

  • Creating contents
