Chapter 10 ■ Creating Pages We can continue the process of adding other blocks to the other regions on this page until we have the content and elements that we want to display to our targeted users when they land on the DrupalCon 2015 Los Angeles page. Creating Landing Pages A landing page is typically a page that is not associated with a single piece of content and may display several different pieces of content and several blocks on the page. Drupal.org’s homepage is an example of a landing page. Let’s continue the process of creating pages by creating a new page for attractions in and around Los Angeles for those who are going to attend DrupalCon. This page will utilize many of the regions provided by the Bartik theme in order to generate a page that looks like the one depicted in Figure 10-3. Figure 10-3. The “What to do Around Los Angeles” page 120
Chapter 10 ■ Creating Pages The first step in generating this page is to use the Basic page content type to create the base information that will be used (see Chapter 1 for a refresher on creating a Basic page). To keep things interesting, we’ll only enter a title for this page, leaving the Body field empty. In the Title field, enter “What to do Around Los Angeles,” and then click the “Save and publish” button. We now have a blank page with the title “What to do Around Los Angeles,” without anything else other than the standard blocks that appear on every page. Let’s create a few blocks and views and assign them to this page to make it look like a landing page. First let’s create a new taxonomy vocabulary named Event, and in that vocabulary let’s create a single term for DrupalCon Los Angeles. Click the Manage link in the admin menu, click the Structure link in the secondary menu, and on the Structure page select Taxonomy. On the Taxonomy page, click the “Add vocabulary” button and enter “Event” in the Name field. Click the Save button to reveal the Events taxonomy page. Click the “Add term” button and create a term by entering “DrupalCon Los Angeles” in the Name field. Click Save to save the taxonomy term. We also need another taxonomy vocabulary for Subject. Follow the same steps for creating the Events taxonomy, only this time name the vocabulary “Subject” and add a term named “Things to do.” We now need a means for authors to specify that an article they are writing is about things to do around Los Angeles. We can enable that ability by adding two term reference fields to our Article content type, allowing authors to select from a subject and an event. On the Structure page, click the “Content types” link and click the “Manage fields” link for the Article content type. Following the general steps in the “Customizing Your Content Type” section of Chapter 5, create two new term reference fields, one for Event and one for Subject. As a refresher, select Term Reference as the field type, and on the Field settings page, select the appropriate vocabulary for each field. After adding the two fields, your list of fields should appear similar to that shown in Figure 10-4. Figure 10-4. Event and Subject fields added to Article content type The next step is to create several articles, selecting DrupalCon Los Angeles as the event and Things to do as the subject. Let’s start with creating five articles and using those articles as the basis for creating a landing page. Creating Views In the main Content area of the page, we’ll create a listing of the five most recently published articles that are focused on what to do in Los Angeles. We’ll use the Views module to create the listing of articles, using the Teaser display to give our site visitors an introduction to each of the articles and the ability to click a “Read more” link to see the full article. Using the techniques described in Chapter 9, create a new view for articles by clicking the Structure menu item and selecting Views. Click the “Add new view” button and name the view “Articles.” We will use this single view with multiple displays to create the types of output we wish to display on our landing page. In the View Settings area of the “Add new view” page, select Article as the type of entity that we wish to render, leaving the remainder of the options in their default state. Click the “Save and edit” button to continue. 121
