Drupal Structure

Technology Stack

General Concepts

Field

The smallest unit of information

Field module allows custom data fields to be defined for entity types (entities include content items, comments, user accounts, and taxonomy terms)

Examples of fields include a number, date or some text.

Node

A piece of content on your web site.

Node module manages the creation, editing, deletion, settings, and display of the main site content.

A node consists of several fields. For example : pages in books, discussion topics in forums, entries in blogs, news article stories

Module

Software (code) that extends Drupal features and/or functionality.

Module can be integrated with Drupal core or other modules using Drupal API.

Module : Core and Contributed

Region, Block, Menu

Drupal site are laid out in regions, which can include the header, footer, sidebars, and main content section.

Block Discrete chunks of information

Menu a hierarchical collection of links

Taxonomy

You can define your own vocabularies (groups of categories), and add terms (categories) to each vocabulary.

Taxonomy Example

Vocabulary = Music

term = classical

sub-term = concertos

sub-term = sonatas

sub-term = symphonies

term = jazz

sub-term = swing

sub-term = fusion

User, Role, Permission

Drupal provides the most flexible authorization system.

Users on your site can be assigned permissions via roles.

Then assign permissions to the role.

Some examples of aliases :

member/jane-smithuser/123
