00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Taxonomy |
00:05 | In this tutorial, we will learn about
|
00:11 | To record this tutorial, I am using
You can use any web browser as per your choice. |
00:23 | Let us open our website which we created earlier. |
00:27 | Now that we have all of our Content types and fields built, we need to add categorization.And that’s where Taxonomy comes in. |
00:37 | Taxonomy is nothing else but Categories. |
00:41 | Going back to our IMDB example, recall that we had a Movie Genre field on the IMDB site. |
00:50 | Well, here’s the way it works in Drupal’s taxonomy. |
00:54 | Movie genre would be a vocabulary and that’s the term for the main category. |
01:00 | And in that vocabulary, we have Terms. |
01:04 | So, on the screen, we have ACTION, ADVENTURE, COMEDY, DRAMA and ROMANCE. |
01:11 | And then under COMEDY, we have ROMANTIC, ACTION, SLAPSTICK and SCREWBALL. |
01:18 | We can have unlimited nested categories or terms in a Drupal vocabulary or taxonomy. |
01:24 | Now, here’s one thing that is really important. |
01:28 | One area that many sites fail on is -
|
01:37 | While it is great to be able to add categories on the fly, it has some inherent problems. |
01:44 | What happens if someone types a typo? |
01:47 | So energy – e n e r g y isn’t the same as e n r e g y and Drupal doesn’t know the difference. |
01:56 | So suddenly, we will have 2 categories and the content is no longer connected. |
02:02 | That’s why we always recommend a closed taxonomy, like the one on the screen. |
02:08 | It’s easy to set up, and we are going to do that later on in this series. |
02:12 | For now understand that, Taxonomy can be used in so many ways. |
02:17 | We’ve already seen how it creates lists of content.But we can also use taxonomy to filter and sort all kinds of Views, if we use it correctly. |
02:28 | Well, let’s dive into taxonomy now. |
02:32 | We will set up a taxonomy for our Events Content type. |
02:35 | Click on Structure, scroll down and click on Taxonomy. |
02:41 | As you probably remember, we have been setting up tags all along. |
02:46 | But as I mentioned earlier, we want to have a closed taxonomy -
|
02:56 | So we will click on Add vocabulary.And let’s name this as Event Topics. |
03:02 | In the Description, we will type - This is where we track the topics for Drupal events. |
03:09 | Click Save.Now we can add terms to our vocabulary.
Click on Add a term. |
03:16 | On the screen you see a list of the terms that we are going to add –
Introduction to Drupal, Site Building, |
03:24 | Module Development,
Theming, and Performance. |
03:28 | Let’s add those – Introduction to Drupal and click Save. |
03:34 | and it brings us back to this Add screen again. |
03:39 | Now, I’ll type Site Building and click Save. |
03:43 | Module Development and click Save. Theming…..., I’m just pressing Enter and it automatically saves. |
03:53 | And then the last one is Performance, and click Save. |
03:57 | We can add complex vocabulary here, but we’ll just keep this simple for now. |
04:03 | Clicking on Taxonomy here, and listing the terms in the Event Topics. |
04:09 | We now have Introduction, Module Development, Performance, Site Building and Theming. |
04:16 | And they’re in alphabetical order. |
04:19 | But, I want to arrange them in the order of difficulty. |
04:23 | So I’m going to - move Module Development down,Site Building up, |
04:27 | * and I am going to put Theming after Site Building
|
04:34 | Just click and drag these.Always remember to save your changes. |
04:39 | Otherwise Drupal won’t remember them after you leave the screen. |
04:44 | So click Save.And there we have our terms in the order that we want. |
04:50 | We have added the taxonomy, but our Content type doesn’t know about this yet. |
04:56 | So let’s go and click on Structure, Content types. |
05:00 | And let’s manage our Fields and the Events Content type.Then click Add field. |
05:06 | Selecting a field type in this case is a Reference to the Taxonomy term in the vocabulary we just created. |
05:14 | So choose Taxonomy term and let’s name this Event Topics.Click Save and continue. |
05:23 | And now it’s going to ask us which Type of item to reference. |
05:28 | Since we have already chosen that, be careful here.We will change it to Unlimited because an event can have more than one topic. |
05:37 | Click Save field settings. |
05:40 | And down here, we need to make sure that we choose the correct reference type. |
05:46 | Let’s choose Event Topics.Here, this is going to allow us to Create references entities if they don’t already exist. |
05:56 | This is called Inline entity reference.Basically it means, if there was a topic that wasn’t in our listing, then any user can add it on the fly. |
06:07 | We don’t want anyone to do that, so we will leave that unchecked. |
06:11 | Click Save settings. |
06:15 | There is one more step before we add content. |
06:18 | We need to set up our URL patterns and we usually do this before we add content. |
06:24 | This ensures that the content we add has the correct human-friendly URL. |
06:30 | We’ll do that later on in this series.With this we come to the end of this tutorial. |
06:36 | Let us summarize. |
06:39 | In this tutorial we have learnt about
