Visual Cue	Narration
Slide 1: Modifying the Page Layout	Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Modifying the Page Layout.
Slide 2: Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, we will learn about Layouts Block Configuration and Permissions and Removing and Re-ordering blocks
Slide 3: System requirement	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.

Time	Narration
00:05	First we will learn about layout.
00:08	Here we will get an introduction to Themes and Blocks
00:17	Themes give us the general layout, look and feel of our site. I will introduce you to Themes in a little while.
00:25	For now, understand that a Theme can be applied to a Drupal site, without changing the content.
00:32	And it gives us the colour scheme, location of the Blocks, and all the formating for the text and images.
00:43	Previously, we learnt that Blocks are information that can be placed in various areas of a site.
00:50	Blocks go into Block regions, and Block regions are determined by the Theme.
01:07	In the design area, we have Blocks, we have Themes and we have Menus.
01:13	Please note: We didn’t talk about or apply our Themes earlier. This was done to highlight the fact, that we can apply a Theme at any point while building a site.
01:25	The only reason we’ve waited till now, is to show that we can wait till the very end, to apply a Theme.
01:33	But I will always prefer to apply my Theme as soon as it’s ready. Let us open our website which we created earlier.
01:38	Let’s now get into the layout, with a look at Blocks and Block regions.

Time	Narration
00:05	Blocks enable us to place information anywhere on our site.
00:14	Go to Structure, and Block layout.
00:19	All the blocks that are available from our current theme are here. For eg: Header, Primary Menu, Secondary Menu, and others.
00:28	We’ve actually already placed a few of those. Recall, we had placed the Welcome To Drupalville custom block in the sidebar. It appears in the left sidebar on this particular theme.
00:41	We also added a Recent Events Added view to our Left sidebar.
00:48	Now, let’s learn how to configure and to give permission to our blocks.
00:55	First, we need to know which Block Regions do what.
00:59	At the top, there is a Demonstrate Block Regions. Click on it.
01:06	Every theme in Drupal gives us this kind of a picture, of where the Block Regions are. Block Regions are dependent on the themes.
01:18	In Bartik, we have the options Secondary Menu, Header, Primary Menu, Highlighted, Featured top, Breadcrumb, Sidebar first, Content Sidebar second.
01:30	We can place any block in any region.
01:33	The important ones like the Content block should be left in the Content region.
01:40	Let us click on Exit. Leave the Breadcrumbs block in the Breadcrumbs region.
01:48	But there are some other things we can move around.
01:52	Move the Search block by either- Clicking and dragging it or Clicking on the drop down and putting it in the Header And it moves up.
02:09	Similarly, move the Welcome to Drupalville to the top of Sidebar first. Save the changes by clicking on the Save button.
02:20	Now, let’s go to the Homepage to see the changes.
02:25	Here’s our search bar, up in the header. And our Welcome to Drupalville block is now at the very top.
02:31	So, that’s how we position and order blocks.
02:36	Now, we will move to configurations and permissions of Blocks.
02:45	Click on Structure, and Block layout.
02:51	And let’s find our Recent Events Added block. Right now it’s in Sidebar first and it’s visible on every page.
03:00	Click  on Configure.
03:04	Right now, Recent Events Added block is visible everywhere. But we may want it to show up only on an event page.
03:14	Put a checkmark in Events, and click Save Block.
03:20	Once again, scroll down and click Save Block button again.
03:25	Click Back to site. Now the Recent Events Added block is not there anymore. But if we go to an event, we can see Recent Events Added.
03:39	Now, up here under the Welcome to Drupalville block, we see the welcome message. Which is not necessary once we have logged in.
03:51	Let’s hide that.
03:54	Just click on the little pencil here and choose Configure Block.
04:03	One of the great things about Drupal is, we can edit the front end using the pencil or the gear.
04:09	Instead of restricting by Content type, let’s restrict it by an individual page.
04:18	See here, ’Specifying pages by using their paths’. To hide or show something on the front page, use this angle bracket- front- angle bracket.
04:29	Copy and paste it.
04:32	Now choose ‘Show just for the listed page’.
04:36	Then click Save. Our welcome block will be only on the Homepage.
04:41	Let’s go one step further.
04:43	Click on Roles, and put a checkmark in Anonymous user.
04:49	And click on Save block.
04:51	Now, it’s only going to show up, when we’re not logged in.
04:57	We don’t see this message because we are logged in right now.
05:04	Let’s logout, and our Welcome to Drupalville block shows up again.
05:12	But when we login, and click on Home, it’s no longer there.
05:21	So configuring, moving, and giving permissions to Blocks is really quite simple.

Time	Narration
00:05	Let’s practice this more.
00:07	Click on Structure and then on Blocks.
00:12	We have the Main navigation in the Primary menu block.
00:19	If we move that, then our Main navigation will be in a completely different place.
00:26	Down here at the bottom, we have: Featured bottom first, second and third Footer first, second, third, fourth and fifth Powered by Drupal and Footer menu in the Footer fifth location.
00:41	Right now, there are no disabled blocks.
00:46	Let’s put one of our menus in the Footer first block region.
00:52	Scroll back up to the top. Find your User account menu and put that in Footer first.
01:02	It is immediately moved down. Now, click on Save blocks.
01:07	Back to the site. Scroll down and see that the user account, instead of being at the top, is down here in the footer.
01:17	So, any block can be placed anywhere, for any purpose.
01:25	Go back to Structure and Block layout.
01:28	Let’s now remove a block.
01:32	Let’s remove Powered by Drupal from the Footer fifth block.
01:41	Simply click on the drop-down and choose None.  Then click on Save blocks.
01:50	Scroll down now. We can see that Powered by Drupal block is now in the disabled block region.
01:56	Click on Back to site to see that it’s totally gone.

	With this we come to an end of this tutorial.
