The document discusses Drupal taxonomy, user management, and creating custom fields for content types using the Field module, including creating image fields and using ImageCache presets to style images uploaded through fields. It provides instructions and examples for setting up taxonomy vocabularies and terms, creating user roles and permissions, and building out content types with various field types like text, files, images, and references.

1. Drupal basics
Part 2

2. Training plan
● Taxonomy
● Users management
● Creating new content types with field
● Image management (image style, galleries)

3. Taxonomy
● The taxonomy module allows you to categorize your content
using both tags and administrator defined terms. It is a flexible
tool for classifying content with many advanced features.
● Taxonomy administration page: admin/content/taxonomy
Create new
vocabulary
List of vocabularies

4. Add term to vocabulary
Add term
Term name
Advanced options:
parents, synonims,
related terms

5. Add vocabulary to content type

6. Create vocabulary
Vocabulary name: Brand

7. Add vocabulary to content type 2
Advanced
settings of
vocabulary
(field)

8. Create content with taxonomy
Taxonomy options:
Car brand

9. Create content with taxonomy
Taxonomy options:
Car brand

10. Taxonomy term page
Term name
Nodes assigned
to term
Page: taxonomy/term/1

11. Practice
●Create vocabulary Color for content type Car and
add some terms (black, red, blue, silver, etc...).
User must select one option.
●Create vocabulary Body type for content type Car
and add some terms (hatchback, coupe, etc...).
User must select one option.
●Create vocabulary Car Equipment for content type
Car and add some terms (ABS, Alarm, Electric
Windows, Traction Control, etc...). User can select
one or more options.
●Add some Cars (nodes) and assign taxonomy
options

12. More practice
●Create content type News: enabled comments,
published on front page
●Create vocabulary News category and add some
terms (Business, Sport, Technology, etc...). User
can select one option
●Create vocabulary News tags and enable option
„Tags”
●Create 5 news nodes, assign News category and
ad tags

13. Page taxonomy/term/TID
●taxonomy/term/[TID] – display nodes assigned to
term [TID]
●taxonomy/term/[TID1]+[TID2]+[TID3] – display
nodes assigned to term [TID1] or [TID2] or [TID3]
●taxonomy/term/[TID1],[TID2] – display nodes
assigned to term [TID1] and [TID2]

14. Term hierarchy (1)
●Terms can have hierarchy (parent - children)
Select parent
with drag and
drop UI

15. Users – basic informations
●In Drupal you can create users accounts
●Each user has name and numeric identificator
(uid)
●After installation Drupal has one user –
administrator (uid = 1)
●Administrator has access to all options
●You can assign roles to user
●You can assign permissions to roles

16. Users – roles - permissions
Roles
(anonymous, authenticated,
moderator, editor)
Permission
Users (access user profiles,
(admin, joe, steve) create story content,
access comments)

17. Roles
●Default roles after installation
● anonymous user – all not logged in users
● authenticated user – all logged in users
●You can't delete default roles
●You can create unlimited number of new roles

18. Create new role
New role name
Page: admin/people/permissions/roles

19. Role permissions
Set permission to
role:
●create page, story,
car
●delete any
page,story, car
●edit any page,
story, car
Page: admin/people/permissions

20. Inheritance permissions
Inheritance of logged-on user
permissions.
No need to select if permissions are assigned
to the role „authenticated user”
Page: admin/people/permissions

21. Users management
Add new user
Filter options
Update options
Users list
Page: admin/people

22. Create new user
Username, e-mail and
password
Status – if „blocked”
user can't log in
Assigned roles
Page: admin/people/create

23. Users list
User name Assigned roles Edit link
Page: admin/people/create

24. Practice
●Create roles and assign permissions:
● „car editor”, permissions: create, edit and
delete car
● „story editor”, permissions: create, edit and
delete story
●Create users:
● user2 – role „car editor”
● user3 – role „story editor”
●Log in as „user2” and „user3” and check
permissions

25. Field (CCK in D6)
●CCK – Content Construction Kit
http://drupal.org/project/cck (Drupal 7 has this
module in core with names Fields)
●Default node has title and body
●Fields allow to create additional fields for nodes
(text fields, files upload, select lists, checkboxes,
references to other nodes and users)

26. Using Fields
Go to edit content type Car:
admin/structure/types/manage/car/fields
Manage fields and
Manege display

27. Manage fields
Current node fields
(defaults). You can
change order of fields.
Create new field
Use existing field
Create new group of fields
(http://drupal.org/project/field_group)

28. Creating new field (1)
Label Field name (stored in database as Field type and field
identificator). Best practice: always insert widget
node type as field name prefix, example:
field_story_author, field_page_information (like in Taxonomy term)

29. Creating new field (2)
Required
Help text, displayed under field
on node add form
Format of text field
Default value
Number of allowed values
Minimum and maximum value

30. Creating new field (3)
New field
Configure and Remove links
Page: admin/structure/types/manage/car/fields

31. Creating new field (4)
New field on node add page
Page: node/add/car

32. Creating new field (5)
Node view page: node/[nid]
Node title
File field
New field
Taxonomy terms
