6. Understanding Content Types

7. 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 Content Types

8. Understanding Views
(lists of content)

9. 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 Content Types

10. Understanding URLs

11. URL = Universal Resource Locator
ex. http://www.ureachtoronto.com/content/about-us
Creating URL* – no proceeding slash (/)
ex. content/about-us
Linking to an Internal URL – start with slash (/)
ex. /content/about-us
* Please note: content types will auto-create URLs – some are
specific to content types – these can (now) be overridden

16. Roles
Groups of users with specific privileges on the website. All
logged in users have the role of “Authenticated User”.
Additional Roles may be assigned as required:

Roles & Permissions

17. Permissions
Each Role is given specific permissions to accomplish tasks
on the website. Roles may also be stacked to add extra
permissions.
Example:
Content Administrator + User Administrator = All the rights
of the Content Administrator role plus the rights to
promote users to other certain roles (through the User
Administrator role)
