Organizing content with taxonomy. Last updated February 5, 2016. Created on June 7, 2002.Edited by hansfn, ljbalogh, kakinne, ashish_nirmohi. Log in to edit this page. Taxonomy, a powerful core module, gives your sites use of the organizational keywords known in other systems as categories, tags, or metadata. It allows you to connect, relate and classify your website’s content. In Drupal, these terms are gathered within "vocabularies.

" The Taxonomy module allows you to create, manage and apply those vocabularies. Drupal 7 and 8 has the ability to add taxonomy fields to vocabularies and terms. Taxonomy is the practice of classifying content. Taxonomy can be used in workflow, to customize defined sections of your website with different themes or to display specific content based on taxonomy terms. Taxonomy should be driven by the business requirements of your website, with an eye towards possible future functional expansion. Are there subsections of your site that you would like to look different from the main theme? 7 - "You have not created any content types yet" 15 Common Drupal Problems That Make You Scream (Solutions Included) Whether you are a Drupal newcomer or a seasoned Drupal ninja, you're bound to run into one, some, or all of the issues outlined below.

Some are obvious, some not so obvious, but I'll show you how to troubleshoot them all regardless.

Step 3: The settings.php file. Last updated November 13, 2013. Created by tgeller on August 4, 2009.Edited by jmcejuela, craig.norris, LeeHunter, batigolix. Log in to edit this page. Your Drupal download comes with a sample configuration file at sites/default /default.settings.php. Before you run the installation script, you must copy the configuration file as a new file called settings.php file and then set some permissions. Note: With Drupal 7.x, on some types of shared/local hosting, if PHP and Apache are run by the same user, Drupal will attempt to execute the first three steps for you. If you get errors referring to the "Settings file" during installation, you can perform these steps manually.

Copy the default.settings.php file and save the new file as settings.php in the same directory. Looking for support? Using an installation profile. Last updated February 19, 2014.

From Installation profiles: Installation profiles provide site features and functions for a specific type of site as a single download containing Drupal core, contributed modules, themes, and pre-defined configuration. Please note that an installation profile can only be used when you're installing a new Drupal instance. The installation of an installation profile is not required, but optional. Documentation for Distributions and Installation Profiles contain documentation for some of the more popular distributions/installation profiles.

If there isn't an installation profile that fits your needs, consider creating one and contributing it to the Drupal community. Installing the profile Looking for support? Fusion sub-theming.

In this tutorial we are going to teach you how to theme your products page. We will get started by creating the node file which we are going to edit to create the mark-up (HTML), so we can style it using CSS at a later date. Ubercart uses a content type called product for it’s nodes so we will create file shown below. node-product.tpl.php Note: If you use a different content type for your products, just put the content type name where I have put the product in the above.

We will now create the mark-up(HTML) /php for the product display. <? I’ve tryed to comment everything explaining what each bit does the $variables are pulled from the $node array. Placing the above code at the bottom of your new node file should print the $node array just in case you might want to display more data. Now all you have to-do is upload your new node file to your active theme folder. Your product page won’t look much now but when you add some new CSS Styles it will look ACE!

Patching on Windows can be done by a variety of programs. The command line patch utility can run on Windows natively with GnuWin32 or Unxutils, or via the emulation layer Cygwin. If you require or fancy a graphical interface, you can use for example TortoiseSVN, the IDE Eclipse, or the IDE NetBeans. Eclipse To apply patches to code using Eclipse: Menu > windows > open perspective > others > team synchronizingOpen the patch file, select all text and copy it to clipboard (Ctrl+ C) Menu > project > apply patchSelect clipboard, click next, select the file you want to patch, click finish or next to setup patching options.

More information can be found with details on how to install and configure Eclipse for Drupal. NetBeans To apply patches to code using NetBeans: Open the project and right-click on the file or folder you want to patch. TortoiseSVN. Applying patches. This information deals with applying patches without git. For information on using git to apply patches, please see the git patch contributor guide. For more generic information about patches, please see the Patch section of the Getting Involved Guide.

Applying patches, modifying files according to instructions in the patch file, is the domain of patch programs. There are many different programs with this functionality, some stand-alone (patch), some integrated in IDEs (Eclipse, XCode). Warning: Patching is something that should never be done on your production site unless you first have a complete backup of your site, and you have tested that backup: First. This page only deals with some basic principles using the command line utility patch. Provided that the patch was made relative to the root directory of the concerned project, navigate to the that directory (using cd).

If you are using Git: git apply --index path/file.patch patch -p1 < path/file.patch patch < file.patch. Installing Drupal Multisite on XAMPP for Windows.
