To record this tutorial, I am using
You can use any web browser as per your choice. |
Switch to the Drupal interface. | Let us open our website which we created earlier. |
Part 1 | |
Time | Narration |
00:05 | As we mentioned earlier, Drupal is like a framework.
|
00:10 | This Extend link on the Administration toolbar is very important when we begin to build our site. |
00:18 | Click on Extend.
|
00:28 | We will cover them in detail later on.
|
01:27 | The Extend menu allows us to see all the Modules or features that we have enabled on our Drupal site. |
01:34 | We will be adding a number of Modules to our site as we go throughout this series. |
Part 2 | |
Time | Narration |
00:05 | Let’s look at the Configuration menu now.
|
00:18 | Because we are the superuser or the user number 1, we have access to everything. |
00:23 | Notice that there’s a red pop-up on the screen.
|
00:34 | I’m going to ignore that for now, and worry about that when we get to the Reports screen. |
00:39 | This particular menu gives us access to configuring all the different aspects of our site.
We will go through these in detail later on in this series. |
00:58 | But for now, let us update our site information.
|
01:17 | Whenever we make changes like this, they change the entire site.
|
01:24 | So now,
|
01:33 | That is a really big improvement over static HTML. |
01:38 | Also on this page, we get the Email address, which is the From address in automated emails.
|
01:50 | Recall that in Drupal, every page is a web form.
|
02:00 | Let’s click on Save configuration button at the bottom.
|
02:14 | We will explore the Configuration menu in detail in later tutorials. |
Part 3 | |
Time | Narration |
00:05 | Let’s click People on the Administration toolbar.
|
00:13 | You’ll notice the tabs- List, Permissions and Roles.
|
00:21 | The Roles section allows us to
|
00:31 | The username admin is here.
|
00:40 | We can change the Password, provided we know the current one.
|
00:54 | We can update and add our own picture by clicking on the Browse button under Picture. |
01:00 | So basically, this is where we can manage our own profile.
|
01:05 | To summarise -
on our Drupal site. |
01:23 | People is where we manage all the users on our Drupal website. |
Part 4 | |
Time | Narration |
00:05 | The last thing we will look at on our Administration toolbar is Reports. |
00:10 | Click on Reports.
|
00:15 | For example - Are there any Available updates? |
00:18 |
|
00:33 | Click on Available updates.
|
00:42 | We can also see that the last update was 48 minutes ago. |
00:46 | This is managed by Cron and we need to set this up on our server. |
00:50 | For now, just click on Check manually.
|
01:00 | If we had added more Modules or features to our site, there would be a bigger list here.
|
01:10 | Click on Reports to get a Status report of our site. -
For example
|
01:21 | Here we can see a link from where we can run Cron externally.
|
01:32 | You should keep a close look on the Reports section of your site.
|
01:44 | Lastly, we have Help, and Help gives us links to help page of our site. |
01:51 | That sums up our Administration Toolbar.
