Time	Narration
00:01	Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Displaying Contents using Views.
00:07	In this tutorial, we will learn about: Views A page with teaser and A simple block view.
00:15	To record this tutorial, I am using: Ubuntu Linux Operating System Drupal 8 and Firefox Web browser. You can use any web browser as per your choice.
00:31	First let us learn about Views. Views is used for displaying a collection of similar content Views can be displayed in various formats, such as -
00:43	Tables Lists Gallery etc.
00:49	It can select, order, filter, and present our contents based on the criteria we define. Views are essentially Reports or Query Results as known in other software.
01:04	For example, if you go to a library and ask the librarian for a stack of books with the following criteria: published before 1905 whose authors last name starts with “M”
01:19	* where the book has 100 or more pages and * the covers are red.
01:25	You will be sent out of the library for asking that. But in Drupal, it can be done very easily with Views.
01:34	We have a simple 5-step process for setting up our Views. The workflow of Views is- Choose your Display Set your Format
01:45	Figure out your Fields Apply a Filter and then Sort the results.
01:53	Now, let’s learn to create the standard Views on a simple Drupal site.
01:53	Now, let us open our website which we created earlier.
01:58	Let’s learn to create the standard Views on a simple Drupal site.
02:04	Click on Structure, and then click on Views.
02:09	Drupal has many built-in Views. For example - the Content View allows administrators to administer the content.
02:20	Same thing with Custom block library, Files, Frontpage, People, Recent comments, Recent content, Taxonomy terms, Who’s new and Who’s online.
02:37	These are all Views that come with Drupal which we can update or edit.
02:44	First, we will create a simple page with Teasers. It will be a landing page for our Events Content type.
02:54	Click Add new view and let’s name it as "Events Sponsored".
03:02	Change the Content of type from All to Events and sorted by as Newest first.
03:11	Click Create a page. Leave Display format as Unformatted list of teasers.
03:20	This is because we’ve already set up the Teaser mode in our Manage display.
03:26	Check Create a menu link.Then under the Menu drop-down, choose Main navigation.
03:35	This will help us to see all the Events that we have added to our site.
03:41	Click Save and edit. Now we have access to the screen that we mentioned in the introduction.
03:51	This screen displays a Page whose Format is an Unformatted list of Teasers.
03:59	We don’t need any fields here because we have set up our Teaser mode.
04:05	The FILTER CRITERIA is Published events. And the SORT CRITERIA is the publication date in descending order.
04:16	If we scroll down, we can see a quick preview here.
04:21	If you don’t like this, it’s simple to change. We’ll cover that in another tutorial.
04:28	For now, let us click on Save. Click on Back to site.
04:35	We have a new tab in the main menu called Events, with a listing of all of our Events.
04:44	Here are all the Event logos with different shapes and sizes.
04:50	We have the Event Website and the Event Date.
04:55	Remember, we can update this in our Teaser mode for the Events Content type, if we want to change it.
05:04	That’s it! This is the landing page for all of our Events.
05:09	One of the key features in Drupal is the ability to place information in the Block regions or sidebars of our website.
05:19	Previously, if we added a new Event, we would have to come out on the sidebar on every page that it’s on, and update the sidebar.
05:31	Now, Views updates our content automatically.
05:36	Click on Structure and then on Views.
05:41	Since we’re coming back here a lot, let’s add it to our shortcuts by clicking the star. Now click on Add new view.
05:53	In the View name, type: "Recent Events Added" . This’ll be a list of the latest Events we’ve added to our site.
06:04	Now, change Content of type from All to Events.
06:09	Choose Create a block. Leave the sorted by as Newest First.
06:18	In Block title, type: "Recently Added Events", just to show that we can have a different name and title.
06:28	Drupal allows us to create different styles of Views. We’ll leave this as an Unformatted list of titles, with 5 Items per block.
06:40	Don’t check Use a pager. If we do, we will get page numbers like Page one of three, two of three, etc., at the bottom of our block.
06:53	Click Save and edit. Let’s look at our preview. It displays a list of titles of the most recently added Events.
07:05	Here, we can see that it displays a Block. FORMAT is an Unformatted list. FIELDS are the Title fields.
07:16	And the FILTER CRITERIA is the Published Events in descending order of their publication date.
07:24	Let’s click Save. This will not show up anywhere because we haven’t placed the block yet.
07:33	Click on Structure and Block layout. Let’s place the block in the Sidebar first region.
07:43	Click on Place block. When we scroll down, we can see the block called Recent Events Added. Click Place block.
07:54	Since we haven’t learnt about blocks in detail yet, we will just click Save for now. It will show up on every page. We will edit that later.
08:06	It’s going to appear in the order after Search. Click Save blocks.
08:13	Click Back to site. And, we have a new block on every page that gives us the most recently added Events on our site.
08:24	There’s no need to configure this again. You can place it wherever you want and it will always be up-to-date.
08:33	So, that’s an example of a Block view using our Events Content type in publication date order.
08:42	With this, we come to the end of this tutorial.
08:46	Let us summarize. In this tutorial we have learnt about: Views A page with teaser and A simple block view.
