To record this tutorial, I am using
You can use any web browser as per your choice. |
Let us open our website which we created earlier. |
Time | Narration |
00:05 | First we will learn about Inline Editing. |
00:10 | Hover the cursor over the Title.
|
00:15 | When we hover over the Title, it will ask us to configure the block. |
00:22 | Click on Configure block. The block is the general block for Page Title. |
00:31 | Changing this will change the way Page Titles appear on every node. |
00:39 | Click on Go back to site.
|
00:52 | I will leave it as it is. |
00:58 | Click Back to site. |
1:00 | Now, click on the pencil in the Content area.
|
1:10 | Quick edit is front end editing in an inline window.
|
1:20 | Let’s click on Quick edit to edit our node in an inline fashion. |
1:30 | As we hover, it takes us to different sections of the individual node.
|
1:51 | Once we make a change, Drupal asks us to save.
|
2:00 | Now, let’s learn to change an article node, say Welcome to Drupalville. |
2:06 | Click on Quick edit.
|
2:17 | In order to edit the image, we need to go into the edit screen.
|
2:30 | I can also edit the tags in the Quick edit window. |
2:37 | The front end editing in Drupal is suitable for simple edits. |
2:46 | Edit tab is a fantastic feature of Drupal to update the content anytime. |
Time | Narration |
00:05 | Wysiwyg Editor was mentioned several times before. |
00:09 | It stands for what you see is what you get. |
00:12 | Wysiwyg Editor is quite helpful. |
00:19 | Let’s change Text Format to Full HTML first.
|
00:30 | In Drupal, the CKEditor comes with Drupal core.
|
00:40 | Let’s take a quick look.
|
0:53 | This is determined by the theme and the cascading style sheets or CSS that the theme gives us. |
1:00 | Let us add some more text here, “Editing Drupal nodes is really fun!” |
1:08 | Now highlight that text, turn off the Italics and create a hyperlink for that text. |
1:15 | Here let’s say, http://drupal.org.
|
1:29 | To remove the hyperlink, highlight the text and click on Unlink.
|
1:42 | We can also add ordered and unordered lists by clicking on the Bullets and numbering icons here.
|
2:02 | To use Block quotes, highlight some text and click the Block Quote link.
|
2:16 | We can easily insert images also.
|
2:56 | In the Alternate Text field, I’ll type “Drupal Logo”
|
2:35 | It is now added to the node inside the body.
|
2:47 | We will first have to re-size our editing window a little, so that we can drag our image anywhere we want. |
3:00 | Hovering over the image also allows us to resize our images.
|
3:17 | That will help a lot in aligning the content on the node. |
3:24 | We can add a table or a horizontal line.
|
3:35 | So here is the H2 block, a block code, paragraph, tag etc.
|
3:46 | Explore each of these options thoroughly before proceeding ahead. |
3:50 | Recall that we have turned on Full HTML. |
3:54 | If we change this to Basic HTML, it is going to warn us.
|
4:03 | Say, we have inserted a JavaScript, I-frame, youtube video, a google map or something like that.
|
4:16 | In order to avoid these kinds of problems, keep only what you actually need. |
4:25 | Let’s cancel the changes in the settings, so we won’t lose anything.
|
4:34 | And we have learnt how to customize it. |
4:40 | Now click Save and keep published.
|
Time | Narration |
00:05 | Next let's learn to configure the CKEditor. |
00:17 | Let’s click on Configuration at the top. |
00:20 | Now click on Text formats and editors.
|
00:36 | These are two unique user roles. |
00:40 | In Drupal, our user has different roles and each role has to be given permissions. |
00:46 | In this case, Basic HTML can be used by an Authenticated user and Administrator.
|
00:56 | Similarly, Full HTML can be used by an Administrator. |
1:00 | Now let’s check CKEditor for the Basic HTML.
|
1:10 | Assign any Text editor that you want.
|
1:16 | Recall - this is the Active toolbar we had, for the Authenticated User for Basic HTML Text Format. |
1:24 | What if we want to add one of these buttons to our Active toolbar?
|
1:33 | Let’s choose Paste from Word icon from Available buttons. |
1:37 | Then click and drag the mouse, until a little blue box opens up where we can add the icon. |
1:45 | To add a new group, click on Add group button.
|
1:53 | Now, click and drag Paste from Word icon into the copy and paste section. |
1:58 | Let’s now add all the paste icons here. |
2:06 | So we have added three new buttons to our bar for Basic HTML format.
|
2:23 | We also upload inline-images.
|
2:32 | We can change any of these settings down here, as per our preference. |
2:39 | Say, we always want to change a URL into a link, instead of manually linking it.
|
2:48 | Here we also have the Filter settings.
|
3:00 | So, this is a really powerful WYSIWYG editor and its configuration area. |
3:05 | Once we have made all our changes, click the Save configuration button.
|
3:19 | Click the Edit option in Welcome to Drupalville node.
|
3:40 | I don’t want this image here.
|
3:57 | Once again, click on Configuration, scroll down and click on Text formats and editor.
|
4:10 | Notice that we have got a few more buttons here but not the Paste icons.
|
4:36 | Similarly down here, we have all these options again.
|
4:44 | Let’s go back to our Welcome to Drupalville again and change it to Full HTML. |
4:54 | Click Continue.
|
5:00 | Take some time to play around with the CKEditor, and make sure that you understand it well.
