Understanding Content Types

Understanding Content Types

The UReach website contains many types of content, such as pages, blog entries, resources, partners, events etc.

Each one of these content types have been described inside of Drupal and will allow you to insert the pieces required for that specific type of content.

EXAMPLES: Page, Event, Partner

Understanding Views(lists of content)

Understanding Content Types

The UReach website contains several Views – or lists of content. These lists are dynamically created from specific types of content.

EXAMPLES: Blog Events/Calendar Partners Resources Recent Updates (block)

Understanding URLs

Understanding URLs

URL = Universal Resource Locator

Creating URL* – no proceeding slash (/)ex. content/about-us

Linking to an Internal URL – start with slash (/)

ex. /content/about-us

ex. http://www.ureachtoronto.com/content/about-us

* Please note: content types will auto-create URLs – some are specific to content types – these can (now) be overridden

• …

Roles & Permissions

PermissionsEach Role is given specific permissions to accomplish tasks on the website. Roles may also be stacked to add extra permissions.
