Drupal 8 Development Cookbook

The Content Authoring Experience

In this chapter, we will explore what Drupal 8 brings to the content authoring experience:

  • Configuring the WYSIWYG editor
  • Adding and editing content
  • Creating a menu and linking content
  • Providing inline editing
  • Creating a custom content type
  • Applying new Drupal 8 core field types
  • Customizing the form display of a node
  • Customizing the display output of a node

Introduction

In this chapter, we'll cover the Drupal 8 content authoring experience. We will show you how to configure text formats and set up the bundled CKEditor that ships with Drupal 8. We will take a look at how to add and manage content and utilize menus to link to content. Drupal 8 ships with inline editing for per-field modifications from the frontend.

This chapter dives into creating custom content types and harnessing different fields to create advanced content. We'll cover the five new fields added to Drupal 8 core and how to use them, along with configuring new field types through contributed projects. We will go through customizing the content's display and modifying the new form display added in Drupal 8.

Configuring the WYSIWYG editor

Drupal 8 saw the collaboration between the Drupal development community and the CKEditor development community. Because of this, Drupal now ships with CKEditor out of the box as the default What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor. The new Editor module provides an API to integrate WYSIWYG editors. Although CKEditor is provided out of the box, contributed modules can provide integrations with other WYSIWYG editors.

Text formats control the formatting of content and WYSIWYG editor configuration for content authors. The standard Drupal installation profile provides a fully configured text format with the enabled CKEditor. We will walk through the steps of recreating this text format.

In this recipe, we will create a new text format with a custom CKEditor WYSIWYG configuration.

Getting ready

Before starting, make sure that the CKEditor module is enabled, which also requires Editor as a dependency. Editor is the module that provides an API to integrate WYSIWYG...

Adding and editing content

The main functionality of a content management system is in the name itself--the ability to manage content; that is, to add, edit, and organize content. Drupal provides a central form that allows you to manage all of the content within your website and allows you to create new content. Additionally, you can view a piece of content and click on an edit link when viewing it.

Getting ready

This recipe assumes that you have installed the standard installation profile and have the default node content types available for use.

How to do it...

Let's manage the content by adding, editing, and organizing the content:

  1. Go to Content to view the content management overview from.
  2. Click on Add content to view the list of available content types.
  3. Click on Article as the piece of content you would like to make.
  4. Provide a title for the piece of content. Titles are always required for content. Fill in the body text for the article:

Note

You may change the text format to customize what kind...

Creating a menu and linking content

Drupal provides a way to link content being authored to a specified menu on the website, generally the main menu. You can, however, create a custom menu to provide links to content. In this recipe, we will show you how to create a custom menu and link content to it. We will then place the menu as a block on the page, in the sidebar.

Getting ready

This recipe assumes that you have installed the standard installation profile and have the default node content types available for use. You should have some content created to create a link.

How to do it...

  1. Visit Structure and click on Menus.
  2. Click on Add menu.
  3. Provide the title Sidebar and optional summary and then click on Save.
  4. Once the menu is saved, click on the Add link button.
  5. Enter a link title and then type the title for a piece of content. The form will provide autocomplete suggestions for linkable content:
  1. Click on Save to save the menu link.
  2. With the menu link saved, go to Structure, and then Block layout....

Providing inline editing

A touted feature of Drupal 8 is the ability to provide inline editing. Inline editing is enabled by default with the standard installation profile through the Quick Edit module. The Quick Edit module allows editing individual fields while viewing a piece of content, and integrates it with the Editor module for WYSIWYG editors!

How to do it...

Let's provide inline editing:

  1. Go to a piece of created content.
  2. In order to enable inline editing, you must toggle contextual links on the page by clicking on Edit in the upper right of the administrative toolbar:
  1. This will toggle the contextual links available on the page. Click on the context link next to the content and select Quick edit:
  1. Hover over the body text and click on Edit. You can now edit the text with a minimal version of the WYSIWYG editor toolbar:
  1. Once you have changed the text, click on Save.
  2. The changes will be saved immediately.

How it works...

The Contextual links module provides privileged users with shortcut links...

Creating a custom content type

Drupal excels in the realm of content management by allowing different types of content. In this recipe, we will walk you through creating a custom content type. We will create a Services type that has some basic fields and would be used in a scenario that brings attention to a company's provided services.

You will also learn how to add fields to a content type in this recipe, which generally goes hand in hand with making a new content type on a Drupal site.

How to do it...

  1. Go to Structure and then Content types. Click on Add content type to begin creating a new content type.
  2. Enter Services as the name, and an optional description.
  3. Select Display settings and uncheck the Display author and date information checkbox. This will hide the author and submitted time from services pages:
  1. Click on the Save and manage fields button to save the new content type and manage its fields.
  2. By default, new content types have a Body field automatically added to them. We will keep this...

Applying new Drupal 8 core field types

The field system is what makes creating content in Drupal so robust. With Drupal 8, some of the most used contributed field types have been merged into Drupal core as their own module. In fact, Entity Reference is no longer a module but part of the main Field API now.

This recipe is actually a collection of mini-recipes to highlight the new fields provided by Drupal 8 core: Link, Email, Telephone, Date, and Entity reference.

Getting ready

The standard installation profile does not enable all of the modules that provide these field types by default. For this recipe, you will need to manually enable select modules so that you can create the field. The module that provides the field type and its installation status in the standard profile will be highlighted.

Each recipe will start off expecting that you have enabled the module, if needed, and that you are at the Manage fields form of a content type and have clicked on Add field and provided a field label...

Customizing the form display of a node

The latest in Drupal 8 is the availability of form display modes. Form modes allow a site administrator to configure different field configurations for each content entity bundle edit form. In the case of nodes, you have the ability to rearrange and alter the display of fields and properties on the node edit form.

In this recipe, we'll modify the default form for creating the Article content type that comes with the standard installation profile:

How to do it...

  1. To customize the form display mode, go to Structure and then Content Types.
  2. We will modify the Article content type's form. Click on the expand the OPERATIONS dropdown and select Manage form display.
  1. First, we will modify the Comments field. Click on the drag icon to the left and drag the row into the Disabled section. Follow the same steps for the sticky at top of lists field:
  1. Click on the settings cog for the Body field. Enter in a placeholder for the field, such as Enter your article text here...

Customizing the display output of a node

Drupal provides display view modes that allow for customization of the fields and other properties attached to an entity. In this recipe, we will adjust the teaser display mode of an Article. Each field or property has a control for displaying the label, the format to display the information in, and additional settings for the format.

Harnessing view displays allows you to have full control over how content is viewed on your Drupal site.

How to do it...

  1. Now, it is time to customize the form display mode by navigating to Structure and then Content Types.
  2. We will modify the Article content type's display. Click on the dropdown button arrow and select Manage display.
  3. Click on the Teaser view mode option to modify it. The teaser view mode is used in node listings, such as the default homepage:
  1. Change the format for Tags to be Hidden. Additionally, this can be accomplished by dragging it to the hidden section. The tags on an article will no longer be displayed...

Reads like a true cook book with quality executable examples. It’s something you can refer back to even after learning the inner workings of Drupal.

Great introductory book on basic Drupal 8 concepts and how to use them, but the subject matter is so deep the cookbook style doesn't give enough depth of understanding. Yes, I see I have to create three files in these directories but I don't understand why and if I want to alter to recipe to be something different, how do I do that?It's exactly what it says it is, I should have skimmed the TOCs to see if there was a specific mention of the topic I needed help with. Drupal 8 is radically different than Drupal 7 and a cookbook isn't going to give you the understanding of how to move from one style to another.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
