Time	Narration
00:01	Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Taxonomy.
00:05	In this tutorial, we will learn about: Taxonomy and Adding a Taxonomy.
00:11	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.
00:23	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 - using the built-in tagging widget or the tag vocabulary to categorize their content.
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- something that we can control and not something that people can easily add terms to.
02:56	So, we will click on Add vocabulary. 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 and then Performance at the very end.
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 that 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: Taxonomy and Adding a Taxonomy.
