[00:00:01.159]Hi! I’m Keith McGuffey, a Web Specialist with IANR Media.
[00:00:04.837]I’m going to show you how to create and edit content on a site.
[00:00:07.833]This video covers sites in the UNLcms that are in the 5.0 Framework using Drupal 7.
[00:00:13.546]This is a long video, so if you’re looking for a specific topic, please see
[00:00:17.124]the timestamps I’ve included in the description of this video,
[00:00:20.315]or use the searchable transcript.
[00:00:24.382]To start, let’s log into the site.
[00:00:26.841]Click ‘Log in’ and sign in with your My.UNL credentials.
[00:00:30.272]You may need to complete two factor authentication.
[00:00:38.838]You’ll notice that the ‘Log In’ text has changed to your name,
[00:00:42.396]your profile image may be included, and there are a set of
[00:00:45.165]Administration Menus at the top of the page.
[00:00:51.268]Before we get started adding and editing content, let’s quickly go over some terms.
[00:00:55.816]There’s not a test at the end, I just want to be sure we’re on the same page as
[00:00:59.591]we go through this video.
[00:01:01.471]Like I mentioned, the Administration Menus are the black and gray menus at the
[00:01:05.183]top of the page.
[00:01:06.248]These let us add and find content, and update the structure and appearance
[00:01:09.774]of the entire site.
[00:01:11.043]Depending on your level of access, your administration toolbars may have
[00:01:14.494]some different options than what you see here.
[00:01:17.108]Below this is the head of the page, which shows the site title and affiliation.
[00:01:21.151]In the upper right, we have the Content Control Tabs.
[00:01:24.134]These allow us to edit the content on the current page, as well as review
[00:01:27.656]revisions made to the page.
[00:01:29.886]The red bar across the top of the page is the Navigation Menu.
[00:01:32.899]The Navigation Menu helps users find content and understand the structure
[00:01:36.400]of the site.
[00:01:37.418]The framework supports up to six top level pages.
[00:01:40.202]These are the ‘parent items’ to the ‘child’ pages listed below.
[00:01:43.344]At mobile widths, this will display at the bottom of the page.
[00:01:47.043]We’ll talk more about adding content to this menu later in the video.
[00:01:53.066]Under the Navigation Menu, we have the Hero region.
[00:01:55.944]By default, the Hero consists of the Page Title and Breadcrumbs showing
[00:01:59.331]where the page sits in the site’s architecture.
[00:02:02.397]Below this, we have the body of the page.
[00:02:05.088]This is where the majority of edits will occur.
[00:02:07.952]At the bottom of the page, we have the footer.
[00:02:10.392]This contains contact information and related links.
[00:02:13.645]We can also access the Web Audit system from here with the ‘QA Test’ link.
[00:02:17.561]Web Audit is a useful tool when we talk about site validation
[00:02:20.963]and accessibility.
[00:02:25.397]When we edit a page, we’ll be working with different Fields.
[00:02:32.115]And finally, when we discuss images and documents, we’ll be using the
[00:02:35.437]File Browser.
[00:02:36.984]This is similar to the File Explorer on a Windows PC or Finder on a Mac.
[00:02:46.022]Let’s add a page to the site.
[00:02:47.994]From any page on the site, go to ‘Add Content’ in the gray
[00:02:50.781]Administration Menu.
[00:02:52.564]Here we have a list of the different types of pages, or content types, available.
[00:02:56.603]Most of these are specific to a site, so what you see may be a bit different
[00:03:00.793]from what’s on screen.
[00:03:02.411]Let’s create a Basic Page.
[00:03:05.589]We’ll need to add a title for the page.
[00:03:07.777]In this example, I’m going to make a fake ‘Courses’ page for IANR Media.
[00:03:12.770]Let’s title the page “Courses”.
[00:03:16.257]The Body field lets us add content to the page.
[00:03:19.859]This toolbar gives us some options for styling text and inserting images and links.
[00:03:24.735]If you’re copy/pasting your content from another text editor or Microsoft Word,
[00:03:29.268]the ‘Paste as Plain Text’ or ‘Paste from Word’ options are your best friend.
[00:03:33.905]The ‘Show/hide toolbars’ button gives us some more options.
[00:03:37.633]For now, I’ll put some text into the Body field.
[00:03:40.519]We’ll edit it a bit later.
[00:03:43.563]Scrolling down, you’ll see options in the left menu.
[00:03:46.303]Depending on your permissions and site configuration, what’s on screen may be
[00:03:50.121]different than what you see.
[00:03:51.853]The Site Hierarchy lets us control where this page exists.
[00:03:54.838]This will influence the page’s Breadcrumbs.
[00:03:57.937]I’m going to select this page’s Parent Item as “What We Do”.
[00:04:02.000]The ‘Display in Menu’ checkbox will include this page in the Navigation Menu,
[00:04:05.659]under its parent item, and will display the Menu Link Title.
[00:04:09.589]The Weight option will determine the page’s placement under the parent item
[00:04:13.372]in the Navigation Menu.
[00:04:15.522]Because this is a test page, and because the framework only supports one level of
[00:04:19.484]child pages in the Navigation Menu, I’ll leave the ‘Display in Menu’ option unchecked.
[00:04:25.140]Other options in this menu allow us to edit access to the page,
[00:04:30.142]edit the Hero region, and unpublish pages.
[00:04:33.121]I’ll talk about some of these later in the video.
[00:04:35.532]Let’s save the page.
[00:04:39.505]The Title is displayed in the Hero region, and we can see the Breadcrumbs
[00:04:43.263]reflect this page’s Parent item.
[00:04:46.013]The Body shows what was put into the Body field.
[00:04:48.853]Note that this page is live right now.
[00:04:51.109]I could send the URL to a coworker and they could view my work.
[00:04:54.663]I’ll show you how to unpublish this page later in the video.
[00:05:02.469]Right now, this page isn’t very visually appealing or useful.
[00:05:06.635]Let’s edit the text to create a structure for the page.
[00:05:09.589]Select ‘Edit’ from the Content Control Tabs.
[00:05:14.419]In the Body field, let’s create Headings using the style dropdown.
[00:05:18.290]Headings go from Heading 1 to Heading 6 and help create the
[00:05:21.507]structure of the page.
[00:05:23.564]This structure is useful for search engines, creates visual separation between sections,
[00:05:28.211]and makes the page accessible to individuals using assistive technologies.
[00:05:33.595]I try to visualize headers as bulleted lists, and keep a logical,
[00:05:36.963]consistent structure.
[00:05:38.744]Here we have the Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3.
[00:05:42.391]Let’s highlight this first line.
[00:05:44.124]The title of our page is set to Heading 1, so we’ll make this a Heading 2.
[00:05:48.429]We can see the change visually by a larger, bolder text.
[00:05:52.093]This courses offered section then has a heading for Graduate and Undergraduate
[00:05:56.385]courses.
[00:05:57.952]Let’s highlight those and make them each a Heading 3.
[00:06:10.189]Now we’ll do the same for Spring 2021.
[00:06:13.394]And note that we’re using the headings in order.
[00:06:15.831]If we were to skip to a Heading 4 or a Heading 6 from a Heading 3, our page
[00:06:20.293]structure wouldn’t look right.
[00:06:22.385]Think back to that bulleted list example.
[00:06:43.343]Let’s use the ‘Preview’ button to see our work, then save the page.
[00:07:02.553]Let’s make these courses into lists and add some text decoration
[00:07:06.335]to this bit of text.
[00:07:08.016]Edit the page.
[00:07:10.702]First, let’s emphasis this bit of text.
[00:07:12.785]We’ve seen that Headings make text larger and bold, but we don’t want to use
[00:07:16.373]Headings for this text.
[00:07:18.323]Referring again to the bulleted list example, this messes up the page structure.
[00:07:23.132]Let’s use the ‘Bold’ and ‘Italic’ options in the toolbar instead.
[00:07:27.776]To make this a bulleted list, let’s highlight the text and select
[00:07:30.916]‘Insert/Remove Bulleted List’ from the toolbar.
[00:07:34.474]We’ll do the same for the courses under ‘Undergraduate’.
[00:07:41.441]For the sake of time and space in this video, I’m going to remove the
[00:07:44.741]Spring 2021 section.
[00:07:47.438]Let’s preview then save our work.
[00:08:05.129]Let’s add a picture to this page.
[00:08:08.136]For this example, I’m going to add my headshot to the bottom of the page.
[00:08:11.872]Go to Edit in the Content Control Tabs.
[00:08:15.815]Let’s place our cursor at the bottom of the Body field, then select
[00:08:18.997]‘Insert/Edit Image’ from the toolbar.
[00:08:24.479]In this popup window, let’s click on the ‘Browse’ button next to the
[00:08:28.027]‘Image URL’ field.
[00:08:30.119]This brings up the File Browser.
[00:08:32.086]As I mentioned before, this works similar to the file browser on your
[00:08:35.371]computer.
[00:08:36.178]We can search through the directories on the left to find the images folder.
[00:08:40.451]If our image is already uploaded to the file browser, we can select it and
[00:08:44.853]insert the file.
[00:08:46.567]We can also upload an image with the Upload option.
[00:08:50.381]Select ‘Choose file’ and find the image on your computer.
[00:08:53.506]Best practice for uploading an image include naming the image with short,
[00:08:57.039]descriptive words in lowercase, with words separated by hyphens.
[00:09:01.314]Notice I’ve named this image keith-mcguffey.
[00:09:05.723]Select the image, then Upload and Insert File.
[00:09:10.670]We’re taken back to the popup where we have some optional fields related
[00:09:14.165]to alignment, dimensions and border.
[00:09:16.969]The most important field here is the Image Description.
[00:09:19.957]Because search engines and screen readers cannot view images, we need to provide a
[00:09:24.429]text alternative.
[00:09:26.204]This text will also display if a user opts out of loading images to save on data,
[00:09:30.323]or the image fails to load.
[00:09:32.683]This text should describe the content of the image.
[00:09:35.227]Although the CMS will allow you to upload an image without this image
[00:09:38.495]description, you should generally consider it a required field.
[00:09:42.483]Because this is my headshot, let’s make the description my name.
[00:09:45.860]Note that we do not need to say ‘Image of Keith McGuffey’ or
[00:09:48.741]‘Picture of Keith McGuffey’.
[00:09:50.462]There is code that already defines this as an image.
[00:09:53.892]Let’s Insert this image, then preview and save our work.
[00:10:11.045]Let’s add some links to other sites on this page, in this case,
[00:10:14.208]UNL’s Course Catalog.
[00:10:16.641]I’ll copy the URL to the graduate Course Catalog from another tab.
[00:10:26.173]Let’s edit the page and highlight the text we want to make a link,
[00:10:29.290]then select ‘Insert/edit link’.
[00:10:33.974]In this popup, let’s paste the URL we want to link to.
[00:10:37.202]By default, the link will open in the same tab.
[00:10:39.798]Because we’re linking to another site, let’s select the ‘Open Link in
[00:10:43.043]New Window’ option, which will open the site in a new tab.
[00:10:47.541]This is not a hard rule, but it’s a good indication to a user that
[00:10:50.903]they’ve left the current site.
[00:10:53.311]Insert the link then save the page.
[00:10:56.452]Let’s test the link to be sure it’s opening to the correct page in a different tab.
[00:11:02.325]Let’s do the same with the Undergraduate catalog.
[00:11:10.520]Again, we’ll highlight the text, select ‘Insert/edit link’,
[00:11:13.952]paste the URL of the page we want to link to and select the
[00:11:17.321]‘Open Link in New Window’ option.
[00:11:20.453]Let’s test this as well.
[00:11:35.543]When creating a text link, be sure to use descriptive text, instead of linking
[00:11:39.801]text that says just ‘Click here’.
[00:11:43.009]The link text should give the user an idea of the function of the link.
[00:11:58.757]If we are linking to a page within the same site, we do not need to include
[00:12:02.412]the entire URL, only the portion after “.unl.edu/”.
[00:12:09.130]In this example, I’m working on a page on the ianrmedia.unl.edu site.
[00:12:15.929]If I wanted to include a link to the IANR Media Web Resources, I would
[00:12:20.171]only need to include the URL after “.unl.edu/," “resources” in this example,
[00:12:27.416]for the Link URL.
[00:12:35.226]We don’t need this to open in a new tab, as generally users expect links that open
[00:12:39.771]pages in the same site to open in the same tab.
[00:12:44.291]I’ll save this and test to make sure it works properly.
[00:12:55.082]The same steps apply to making an image a link. Highlight the image, select
[00:12:59.226]‘Insert/edit link’, and provide a URL.
[00:13:03.261]There are some additional considerations for making an image a link.
[00:13:06.496]The Image Description should describe the purpose of the link.
[00:13:10.024]We could also include an image with text under it as a link and leave the
[00:13:13.498]Image Description blank.
[00:13:15.215]Check out the Quick Guide on IANR Media’s Website Resources page for more
[00:13:18.640]information on this.
[00:13:20.215]I’ll include a link in the description of this video.
[00:13:27.504]To link to a document, highlight the text you want to link.
[00:13:33.255]I’ve been sure to highlight text that will describe the link.
[00:13:37.138]Select ‘Insert/Edit link’, then select ‘Browse’ next to the Link URL field.
[00:13:41.287]Similar to inserting an image, we can use the File Browser to locate or upload
[00:13:46.383]the document we want to link to.
[00:13:49.201]Select and insert the document.
[00:13:53.819]Again, we can select that the document open in a new tab, although this is
[00:13:57.397]generally only useful for PDFs.
[00:14:00.274]The ‘Title’ field is what will optionally display if a user hovers their mouse
[00:14:04.284]over the link.
[00:14:05.776]We can ignore the ‘Class’ field.
[00:14:08.047]Let’s save and test this link.
[00:14:22.332]Let’s add an image to the Hero area of this page.
[00:14:25.419]Edit the page and scroll to the option menu at the bottom of the page.
[00:14:30.923]Select Hero.
[00:14:33.160]Here, we can upload and select the size of the Hero, give the Hero optional
[00:14:36.909]titles and subheadings, and add a photo credit if applicable.
[00:14:41.583]The recommended image size is 1600 x 900 pixels, but note that
[00:14:45.549]some cropping will occur.
[00:14:48.205]I’m going to upload this image of a soybean field as an example.
[00:14:52.330]This image uploader works a bit differently than the one in the
[00:14:55.426]Body field. It prompts you to upload an image from your computer
[00:14:58.946]instead of using the File Browser.
[00:15:01.613]I’ll still fill out the alternate text field, then select a size and add
[00:15:05.086]title and subhead text.
[00:15:15.539]I’ll add a photo credit for this example as well.
[00:15:24.478]We can see this Hero overrides the page title and includes the breadcrumbs
[00:15:28.064]at the bottom of the Hero image.
[00:15:34.221]When we’re working with content we may want to hide pages.
[00:15:37.373]Unpublished content is not visible to general end users.
[00:15:40.889]This can be useful for articles or pages that are in development, or pages you
[00:15:44.640]may be using to test layouts.
[00:15:47.059]To unpublish a page, Edit the page and scroll to the bottom.
[00:15:53.567]In the left menu, select ‘Publishing Options’ and uncheck the ‘Published’
[00:15:57.287]option.
[00:15:58.841]Save the page.
[00:16:00.898]The background of unpublished content will have a red tint.
[00:16:03.921]This content will only appear to UNL users with the proper permissions
[00:16:08.643]when they are logged in.
[00:16:15.426]Every time we save a page, a revision is made.
[00:16:18.506]If we’ve made edits to a page that we are not happy with, we can always revert
[00:16:22.264]to an older version of the page.
[00:16:24.634]Select ‘Revisions’ from the Content Control Tabs.
[00:16:28.113]Here, we can see previous versions of the page.
[00:16:30.971]Selecting a version will show us a preview of that revision.
[00:16:37.516]The ‘Compare’ option lets us see the changes made between versions.
[00:16:44.701]When we find a revision we like, the ‘Revert’ option lets us make the
[00:16:48.271]selected revision live.
[00:16:55.202]Selecting a revision makes a new revision, so if we decide later that we actually did
[00:16:59.285]like the edits we made, we can always revert back to that revision.
[00:17:16.334]If you ever need to delete a page, select ‘Edit’ and then ‘Delete’ at the
[00:17:20.934]bottom of the page.
[00:17:23.843]You’ll be asked to confirm this deletion.
[00:17:26.514]Note that this will also delete any revisions of the page, so be sure
[00:17:30.034]you are confident the page needs to be deleted before confirming.
[00:17:37.201]If you’re looking for a specific page that you are able to edit, select
[00:17:41.136]‘Find Content’ in the gray Administration Menu.
[00:17:44.277]Here, we can search for content filtered by publication and type.
[00:17:47.993]We can also sort content based on the table headings.
[00:17:51.452]I know the page I just created is not published, so I can search for not
[00:17:54.863]published items to find the page more easily.
[00:17:58.701]If we need to find a file or image on our site, we can access the File Browser to
[00:18:02.929]look through the documents on the site.
[00:18:05.328]We can also upload documents here.
[00:18:13.038]These are the basics of creating content using basic pages.
[00:18:17.758]I want to quickly touch on some other common content types before we move
[00:18:21.274]on to some other concepts.
[00:18:23.320]Most sites have some type of newsfeed that is populated with an ‘Article’ or
[00:18:26.908]‘News’ content type.
[00:18:28.701]I’ve been working on the IANR Media site which does not have a newsfeed, so I’m
[00:18:32.701]going to move to the IANR News site to talk about articles.
[00:18:36.725]Article pages may have more fields than your basic page, and have templates that
[00:18:40.590]control those fields.
[00:18:42.372]The fields in your article content type may vary.
[00:18:45.264]I won’t create an article here, but I’ll show how these fields work with
[00:18:48.715]the template for IANR News.
[00:18:51.207]We can see this article has a title, image and summary in the newsfeed.
[00:18:55.201]When we go to the article’s page, we can see the title, image with caption,
[00:18:59.554]body, and tags.
[00:19:02.046]I’ll edit this page.
[00:19:06.289]Here we can see the title, summary and body fields.
[00:19:10.097]By default, the newsfeed on the homepage will pull in the first few
[00:19:13.263]lines of the Body, but this is not the best for our users.
[00:19:17.060]We can edit the summary by clicking ‘Edit Summary’ beside the label for the
[00:19:20.617]Body field.
[00:19:22.327]The summary is hidden by default, so don’t forget to fill it out before
[00:19:25.715]publishing your article.
[00:19:28.685]Below this, IANR News has tags to group articles together.
[00:19:33.470]We then have an image uploader, which functions the same as the image uploader
[00:19:37.263]for the Hero image.
[00:19:39.639]Below this, IANR News has included a caption field for the image.
[00:19:43.606]Your image uploader may include this or have a ‘Title’ field related to the
[00:19:47.159]image uploader.
[00:19:49.162]In the publishing options, we can see that this article has ‘Promoted to front page’
[00:19:53.217]checked.
[00:19:54.452]This will include the article in the newsfeed of the homepage.
[00:19:57.611]‘Sticky at top of lists’ forces the article to the top of the newsfeed.
[00:20:01.782]Let’s go back to the IANR Media site.
[00:20:10.375]Book pages are very similar to basic pages, but include a built in navigation hierarchy
[00:20:16.657]that can be accessed under the ‘Book outline’ option.
[00:20:20.171]IANR Media’s Web Resources are all book pages and include
[00:20:24.039]this navigation menu.
[00:20:31.991]We can see that this page is a part of the ‘Resources’ book,
[00:20:35.062]it belongs under the ‘Images’ page, and I’ve given it a weight of -1,
[00:20:38.731]which determines how the pages under ‘Images’ are ordered.
[00:20:46.971]Finally, let’s discuss Webforms.
[00:20:49.506]Webforms allow users to submit information to the web server.
[00:20:53.370]This information can be downloaded or sent via email as the form is
[00:20:57.102]completed.
[00:20:58.654]Let’s make a Webform by selecting ‘Add Content’ and ‘Webform’.
[00:21:04.170]This edit screen is similar to the one for a basic page.
[00:21:07.472]Let’s put in a title.
[00:21:11.372]I’ll leave the body blank, but know that the body appears above the Webform.
[00:21:16.186]After saving this page, we’ll be taken to the Form Builder.
[00:21:19.626]In the Content Control Tabs, we can see there are ‘Edit’ and ‘Webform’ functions.
[00:21:25.142]‘Edit’ will allow you to edit the Title and Body and select publishing options,
[00:21:29.646]‘Webform’ allows you to edit the fields a user will fill in.
[00:21:33.176]The ‘Webform’ tab includes a few more options for Components, Conditionals,
[00:21:37.670]E-mails, and Form settings.
[00:21:41.034]The Form Builder let’s drag and drop fields to create a form.
[00:21:44.579]Let’s create a very basic form.
[00:21:47.355]Drag a ‘Textfield’ into the Form Builder.
[00:21:50.009]Selecting ‘Configure’ will allow us to change the options of this field.
[00:21:54.857]Let’s call this field ‘Name’, and make the field required under the
[00:21:58.065]Validation Tab.
[00:22:00.399]Let’s ask for an E-mail as well.
[00:22:02.880]Let’s drag an E-mail field into the Form Builder, rename it with the
[00:22:06.725]configure option, and make it a required field.
[00:22:15.923]Let’s save our work.
[00:22:18.457]Unlike a Basic Page, we’re only shown this notice that the page has been
[00:22:21.888]updated.
[00:22:23.233]Let’s select ‘View’ in the Content Control Tabs to view the page.
[00:22:29.583]Let’s look at some other options under the Webform tab.
[00:22:33.365]‘Form components’ is similar to the ‘Form builder’.
[00:22:36.509]‘Conditionals’ allows you to display or change the values of fields based
[00:22:39.996]on the results of other fields.
[00:22:42.677]For example, we can make a list of radio buttons with an ‘Other’ option,
[00:22:46.606]then set a textfield of ‘Other’ to display only when ‘Other’ is selected.
[00:22:51.422]I’ll show an example of this really quick.
[00:23:56.202]‘Emails’ allow us to send a confirmation email to the user, or an email to
[00:24:00.511]yourself or another staff whenever the form is complete.
[00:24:04.581]In this example, I can send an email to myself.
[00:24:10.612]We can update the subject of the email, along with the ‘from’ address and name.
[00:24:15.721]The E-mail template is what will come to my email.
[00:24:18.318]By default, this will give a notification that the form has been completed,
[00:24:21.861]a quick rundown of all the submitted values, and a link to the
[00:24:24.930]submission’s results page.
[00:24:27.742]We can also use form keys to create emails that include the results of the form.
[00:24:32.520]In this case, I’ll edit the template to show only who completed the form and
[00:24:37.127]their email.
[00:24:38.706]Form keys are available in the configure options of the field in the field builder,
[00:24:43.128]and [submission:values:formkey] is the format to display the information
[00:24:49.803]in the field.
[00:24:51.803]I'll fill out this field, and show you a quick example of the e-mail
[00:24:55.070]that I received.
[00:26:07.430]‘Form settings’ allows us to edit the confirmation message and landing page
[00:26:11.128]for the user, cap the number of submissions, and close the Webform.
[00:26:16.070]We also have options for the progress bar at the top of the Webform,
[00:26:19.400]and other options.
[00:26:29.055]Let’s look at ‘Results’ in the Content Control Tabs.
[00:26:32.448]Results allows us to see individual submissions, group them for analysis,
[00:26:43.068]show multiple responses in a table format, and download results.
[00:26:49.775]We have options here to download based on a timeframe or number of results.
[00:26:58.947]So far, we’ve discussed how to add and edit content on a page by page basis.
[00:27:04.297]Let’s move on to more site-wide information, such as the
[00:27:07.305]Navigation Menu and footer.
[00:27:09.831]Please note that depending on your permissions, you may not be able
[00:27:13.043]to make these types of edits.
[00:27:15.023]Unlike individual pages, there are no revisions for site-wide edits to blocks,
[00:27:19.818]the Navigation Menu, or other configurations.
[00:27:27.241]Earlier, I mentioned using the ‘Site Hierarchy’ options to include
[00:27:31.231]pages in the Navigation Menu.
[00:27:33.681]An easier way to edit the Navigation Menu is to go to ‘Structure’ and ‘Menus’.
[00:27:39.334]Select ‘list links’ from ‘Main Menu’.
[00:27:42.180]Here, we can edit which pages display in the Navigation Menu with the
[00:27:45.555]‘Enabled’ checkbox.
[00:27:47.587]We can drag and drop pages to form the structure of the site.
[00:27:50.827]Selecting ‘Save Configuration’ at the bottom of the page saves the
[00:27:54.143]Navigation Menu.
[00:28:02.127]The contact information and related links in the site’s footer are controlled
[00:28:06.138]by blocks.
[00:28:08.479]We can edit these by going to Structure, then Blocks and configuring them from
[00:28:12.595]the list of available blocks.
[00:28:31.331]Hovering over the block will also bring up a gray gear icon, which will allow you
[00:28:35.755]to edit the block as well.
[00:28:42.066]Let’s go to the 5.0 theme settings under ‘Appearance’ in the Administration
[00:28:47.188]Toolbar.
[00:28:49.440]Here we can edit site-specific CSS and JavaScript.
[00:28:53.476]Scrolling down, we have fields to update the site’s breadcrumbs and abbreviation.
[00:29:03.959]Under ‘People’, we can add and edit permissions for users.
[00:29:08.076]The ‘Import Users from UNL Directory’ option lets us add users, and we can
[00:29:15.708]edit permissions with the ‘Edit’ option associated with each username.
[00:29:25.890]‘Modules’ lists available modules from Drupal.
[00:29:30.181]The modules needed should be active already, but if you need to turn one
[00:29:33.722]on for something like Google Analytics, this is the place to look.
[00:29:41.944]Under ‘Configuration’, we can edit site information such as the site name and
[00:29:46.947]email address, include Google Analytics information, and manage
[00:29:56.134]URL aliases and redirects.
[00:30:04.447]Thank you for watching!
