00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Editing Existing Content. |
00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn about Inline editing |
00:10 | using CKEditor and |
00:12 | configuring CKEditor. |
00:15 | To record this tutorial, I am using:
|
00:24 | You can use any web browser as per your choice. |
00:28 | Let us open our website which we created earlier. |
00:32 | First, we will learn about Inline Editing. |
00:36 | Hover the cursor over the Title. On the right hand side, we will see a pencil icon. |
00:43 | When we hover over the Title, it will ask us to configure the block. |
00:48 | Click on Configure block. The block is the general block for Page Title. |
00:54 | Changing this will change the way Page Titles appear on every node. |
00:59 | Click on Go back to site. Hover over the pencil here and click on Configure block. |
01:06 | If you want to change the tabs, you can change them here. |
01:10 | I will leave it as it is. |
01:13 | Click Back to site. |
01:16 | Now, click on the pencil in the Content area. |
01:20 | You will see three options– Quick edit, Edit and Delete. |
01:25 | Quick edit is front end editing in an inline window. |
01:29 | Edit takes us back to the main editing window for a node. |
01:33 | Delete will delete the node after confirmation. |
01:37 | Let’s click on Quick edit to edit our node in an inline fashion. |
01:41 | As we hover, it takes us to different sections of the individual node. |
01:47 | When we click on it, we are able to add more content, view the source and even bold some text. |
01:53 | Once we make a change, Drupal asks us to save. Click Save to update the node. |
02:00 | Now, let’s learn to change an article node, say Welcome to Drupalville. |
02:06 | Click on Quick edit. Notice that the Title and the body fields are editable here in the front end. |
02:14 | But we can't edit the image. |
02:17 | In order to edit the image, we need to go into the edit screen. |
02:22 | Now we can make changes to the body and save it. |
02:26 | I can also edit the tags in the Quick edit window. |
02:30 | The front end editing in Drupal is suitable for simple edits. |
02:34 | Edit tab is a fantastic feature of Drupal to update the content anytime. |
02:40 | Wysiwyg Editor was mentioned several times before. |
02:44 | It stands for what you see is what you get. |
02:48 | Wysiwyg Editor is quite helpful. |
02:52 | Let’s change Text Format to Full HTML first. |
02:58 | This will give us an idea of the formatting options available in the Wysiwyg Editor. |
03:04 | In Drupal, the CKEditor comes with Drupal core. |
03:09 | It is turned ON by default and is configurable. |
03:14 | Let’s take a quick look. Highlight the text "Welcome to our site". |
03:20 | Change the format from Normal to Heading 2. |
03:24 | Immediately, Drupal gives a preview of what the text will look like. |
03:30 | This is determined by the theme and the cascading style sheets or CSS that the theme gives us. |
03:38 | Let us add some more text here, “Editing Drupal nodes is really fun!”. |
03:44 | Now highlight that text, turn off the Italics and create a hyperlink for that text. |
03:52 | Here, let’s say, http://drupal.org/ . Click on Save. |
04:00 | Hover the mouse and notice that the text is now hyperlinked. |
04:04 | To remove the hyperlink, highlight the text and click on Unlink. |
04:10 | To undo a change, press Ctrl+Z. |
04:14 | We can also add ordered and unordered lists by clicking on the Bullets and numbering icons here. |
04:21 | Click on Unordered list. Then add bullets - one, two, three. |
04:28 | Next, click on Ordered list and add one, two and three. |
04:34 | To use Block quotes, highlight some text and click the Block Quote link. |
04:40 | Once again, the formatting is managed by our theme. |
04:46 | We can easily insert images also. I have chosen this file which I had uploaded on the first node. |
04:56 | In the Alternate Text field, I’ll type “Drupal Logo”. |
05:02 | Under Align, I will choose Right. Add a Caption if you want. |
05:08 | Lastly, click on Save. |
05:12 | It is now added to the node inside the body. Hover over the image, click and drag it to a new position, if you want. |
05:22 | We will first have to re-size our editing window a little so that we can drag our image anywhere we want. |
05:30 | Hovering over the image also allows us to resize our images. |
05:36 | Before adding images to your Drupal node, make sure that your images are properly sized and formatted. |
05:43 | That will help a lot in aligning the content on the node. |
05:47 | We can add a table or a horizontal line. |
05:51 | And even show the blocks that we created in our node. |
05:55 | So, here is the H2 block, a block code, paragraph, tag etc. |
06:01 | If you know HTML, then you can view the source by clicking on this icon. |
06:07 | Explore each of these options thoroughly before proceeding ahead. |
06:12 | Recall that we have turned on Full HTML. |
06:16 | If we change this to Basic HTML, it is going to warn us. |
06:21 | There is a possibility of the content being permanently lost or deleted. |
06:26 | Say, we have inserted a JavaScript, I-frame, youtube video, a google map or something like that. |
06:33 | Changing to Basic HTML, will cause Drupal to remove those content. |
06:38 | In order to avoid these kinds of problems, keep only what you actually need. |
06:43 | Let’s cancel the changes in the settings, so we won’t lose anything. |
06:48 | This is a quick overview of CKEditor that comes with Drupal. |
06:52 | And we have learnt how to customize it. |
06:55 | Now click Save and keep published. |
06:58 | The modified node is displayed. |
07:01 | Next let's learn to configure the CKEditor. |
07:05 | Let’s click on Configuration at the top. |
07:09 | Now click on Text formats and editors. |
07:13 | We will notice that Basic HTML and Full HTML use the CKEditor. |
07:19 | And, they are assigned to Authenticated User and Administrator. |
07:24 | These are two unique user roles. |
07:27 | In Drupal, our user has different roles and each role has to be given permissions. |
07:34 | In this case, Basic HTML can be used by an Authenticated user and Administrator. |
07:41 | The CKEditor has been assigned for these 2 roles. |
07:45 | Similarly, Full HTML can be used by an Administrator. |
07:50 | Now, let’s check CKEditor for the Basic HTML. |
07:54 | Click on Configure and you will be able to assign it to different roles. |
07:59 | Assign any Text editor that you want. And then give them permissions for the buttons that they are allowed to use. |
08:07 | Recall - this is the Active toolbar we had, for the Authenticated User for Basic HTML Text Format. |
08:15 | What if we want to add one of these buttons to our Active toolbar? This is very simple. |
08:21 | Let’s choose Paste from Word icon from Available buttons. |
08:26 | Then click and drag the mouse until a little blue box opens up where we can add the icon. |
08:33 | To add a new group, click on Add group button. Name it “copy and paste” and click on Apply. |
08:41 | Now, click and drag Paste from Word icon into the copy and paste section. |
08:47 | Let’s now add all the paste icons here. |
08:51 | So, we have added three new buttons to our bar for Basic HTML format. |
08:57 | Paste icons are something that every toolbar needs, as most text are copy-pasted from files. |
09:04 | We also upload inline-images. And upload images with a maximum file size of 32MB, with any width and height. |
09:14 | The maximum size may be different in your installation. |
09:18 | We can change any of these settings down here, as per our preference. |
09:23 | Say, we always want to change a URL into a link, instead of manually linking it. |
09:29 | We can do so by clicking Convert URLs into links option. |
09:34 | Here we also have the Filter settings. Let’s click on Limit allowed HTML tags. |
09:41 | Now, we will be able to add the HTML tags that we can use, when we look at the source. |
09:47 | So, this is a really powerful WYSIWYG editor and its configuration area. |
09:54 | Once we have made all our changes, click the Save configuration button. |
09:59 | Let us now look at our Content. |
10:02 | Click the Edit option in Welcome to Drupalville node. |
10:07 | Notice that since we had Full HTML turned ON, nothing has changed. |
10:12 | Let’s now change this to Basic HTML. All the changes are still there. |
10:18 | Though I can’t see my blocks anymore, the Paste icons are now available. |
10:23 | I don’t want this image here. So, I’ll delete it by clicking on the image and pressing the Backspace or Delete key on my keyboard. |
10:32 | Click on Save and keep published. |
10:35 | Once again, click on Configuration. Scroll down and click on Text formats and editor. |
10:43 | This time let us configure the Full HTML toolbar. |
10:47 | Notice that we have got a few more buttons here but not the Paste icons. |
10:52 | Click Show group names and click Add group on the second line this time. |
10:57 | Name it as “copy and paste”. Now we can click and drag these into our copy and paste section. |
11:05 | Similarly down here, we have all these options again. For now, click on Save configuration button. |
11:13 | Let’s go back to our Welcome to Drupalville again and change it to Full HTML. |
11:18 | Click Continue. And now, we see two rows of buttons. |
11:23 | This means our editor is all set. |
11:26 | Take some time to play around with the CKEditor, and make sure that you understand it well. |
11:32 | With this we come to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize. |
11:37 | In this tutorial, we have learnt about:
