00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Managing Content. |
00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn to:
Create new content |
00:11 |
Manage content and Revisions. |
00:15 | To record this tutorial, I am using:
Ubuntu Operating System Drupal 8 and Firefox web browser. |
00:25 | You can use any web browser as per your choice. |
00:29 | Let us open our website which we created earlier. |
00:33 | Now we will learn how to create new content. |
00:37 | We will add our first Event. Click on Content. |
00:42 | Click on Add content and choose Events. |
00:46 | We will set up a sample Event to demonstrate some things that we have set up. |
00:52 | I will type: “DrupalCamp Cincinnati” in the Event Name field. |
00:58 | In the Event Description field, type: “This is the first DrupalCamp in the southern Ohio region”. |
01:07 | Note that the Create New revision check-box is turned ON here. |
01:12 | We don’t have to do anything over here on the right hand side. |
01:17 | Leave the Event Logo as blank, for now. |
01:21 | But we do want an Event Website. |
01:24 | So, we’ll type the URL as "http://drupalcampcincinnati.org". |
01:34 | In the Link text, we will leave this blank. The display would just be the actual URL; so, we will do that for now. |
01:44 | When we click on the Event Date, a little calendar pops up. |
01:49 | Let’s select January 11th 2016. |
01:54 | Now, we can’t add any EVENT SPONSORS yet because we don’t have any User Groups set up. |
02:01 | Another important Drupal feature is Inline Entity Reference. |
02:07 | It allows you to add user groups on the fly. But we will learn about this later. |
02:13 | We have some EVENT TOPICS. Let us type ‘I’ and select ‘Introduction to Drupal’. |
02:21 | Click on Add another item. This time we will type ‘m'. |
02:27 | Notice that all topics that have an ‘m’ in it, will show up. |
02:32 | So, let’s select Module Development. You can choose other topics if you want. |
02:38 | Then click Save and publish. |
02:41 | Here is our DrupalCamp Cincinnati node. |
02:45 | The Title, the Body.. the Event Website which is automatically a link but it doesn’t really exist. |
02:53 | We can change this Event Date format, if we want. |
02:58 | This is a taxonomy. |
03:00 | If this link is clicked, every single Event tagged to Introduction to Drupal would be available and will be listed in publication date order. |
03:12 | We have just created our very first event node successfully. |
03:17 | Now, let’s click on Shortcuts and Add content and this time let’s add our User Group. |
03:27 | We will call this as "Cincinnati User Group". |
03:31 | In the User Group Description field, type: “This is the user group from the southern Ohio region based in Cincinnati”. |
03:42 | “We meet on the 3rd Thursday of every month”. |
03:47 | We can also add more information there. |
03:51 | The URL for this User Group is: https colon slash slash groups dot drupal dot org slash Cincinnati. |
04:03 | It’s non-existent as of now. But, this is how it would usually appear. |
04:10 | To find a User Group in your area, come to groups dot drupal dot org. |
04:16 | Then do a quick search based on what you might be interested in. |
04:21 | There are many User Groups around the world. |
04:25 | In Group Contact, let’s type: Drupal space Group and in the Contact Email, type: "drupalgroup@email.com". |
04:38 | Note that this should be a properly formatted email address. Otherwise, Drupal will reject it. |
04:46 | Choose Group Level from the multiple options here. |
04:50 | And, in the EVENTS SPONSORED, we have to choose an Event. |
04:55 | If you just type 'd', "Drupal Camp Cincinnati" will appear in the drop-down. |
05:02 | Click Save and Publish. |
05:05 | We have successfully created our first User Group. |
05:09 | Now we will learn about managing our content. |
05:13 | If we click on Content, we will get a list of all the content on our site. |
05:19 | It doesn’t matter what Content type it is, we can see all the content. |
05:25 | We can filter by Publish status, Content type and by Title. |
05:32 | If we type ‘W’ here and click Filter, we’ll only get the nodes which begin with ‘w’. |
05:41 | Click on Reset. |
05:43 | If we have multiple languages, we can choose another language as well. |
05:49 | And, once we’ve got our list, we can select more than one node at a time and do some things Like- Delete, make it Sticky, Promote it, Publish it etc. |
06:04 | So, I’ll select Unpublish content and click on Apply. |
06:09 | Notice that the status of my selected nodes has been updated to Unpublished. |
06:16 | This is the easiest place to manage content. |
06:20 | Let’s select all the nodes at once. Click on Publish and then on Apply. |
06:28 | It doesn’t matter if some are already published. Now all the content is published. |
06:35 | We can also Edit or Delete a single node here or select a batch of nodes and delete the content. |
06:44 | Managing content in Drupal is quite simple. Just click on the Content link in the toolbar and it brings you to this page. |
06:54 | Using the tabs at the top, we can manage the Comments that have been made. |
07:00 | And also the Files that have been uploaded in any file field. |
07:05 | To view the image, click on it and it will open on the screen. |
07:10 | To see where the image is used, click on the Places link. It gives us a list of nodes where the file is used. |
07:20 | We can manage our Content, Comments and Files from the Content link in the Administration toolbar. |
07:29 | Now, let’s add a comment to one of our nodes. |
07:33 | I’m going to add a comment – “Great Node!" "Fantastic content.”. |
07:39 | Click Save. |
07:42 | Since we’re logged in as the superuser, everything is already approved for us. We don’t actually have to do anything. |
07:50 | If you set up comments for approval, then you can click Content, Comments and you’ll be able to manage them here. |
07:59 | For example - bulk publish comments or delete them from this screen. |
08:05 | Managing Content, Comments and Files is all done from one place, in Drupal. |
08:12 | Next, let us update a node or make a change to a node and see how Revisions works. |
08:20 | Click on Home link to come to the Home page. |
08:24 | Click on Quick edit on DrupalCamp Cincinnati. |
08:29 | Let’s add some more content to the body of this node – “There is another great camp in Columbus every October.” |
08:39 | Click Save. |
08:41 | And now, click on DrupalCamp Cincinnati and you’ll see a new tab called Revisions. |
08:49 | Click on Revisions and you will see that admin has updated this node at 2:37 and it’s the Current revision. |
09:00 | The old version is also available. |
09:03 | On clicking it, we can look at the old version which doesn’t have the second paragraph. |
09:09 | To go back, click on Revisions. Then we can either Revert or Delete that old version. |
09:18 | There are other Modules that make this a little easier. |
09:22 | But Drupal has complete version control ,built in. So, you know who, and when changes were made to any given node and you can revert back whenever you want. |
09:36 | So, version control in Drupal is built in and is really helpful. |
09:41 | With this, we come to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize. |
09:47 | In this tutorial, we have learnt about:
