Chapter 20 ■ Building a Company Site Figure 20-15. The Key Staff page I made a few minor modifications to effect the look I wanted for the page. I added a few CSS attributes to the style.css style sheet, specifically making the name bold and slightly bigger than normal text and adding padding to the view columns. I also created a new image style (Configuration ➤ Image styles) called Profile. I created an effect of scaling and cropping the images uploaded by the user to 250px wide and 225px high. I edited the view and assigned the new image format to the picture. I also updated the image attributes on the user profile to accept larger pictures. I removed the restrictions placed by <strong>Drupal</strong> 8 by blanking out the values found on the Picture settings for User (Configuration ➤ Account settings ➤ Manage fields). The end result of the minor modifications is what is shown in Figure 20-15. The News Page Earlier we added a taxonomy term for News to the Article Type taxonomy vocabulary, providing the capability to use the Article content type as the template for authoring news. To follow the example, create a few sample News articles to have as material to test out our view. Create a new view for News, creating a Page display that provides a link to the News page. This view will list Articles that are filtered by the taxonomy term News, sorted by post date in descending order so that the newest item is always at the top. Use Teasers as the format for the output, and set the Title of the Page display to “Latest News.” Also create a Block view 226
Chapter 20 ■ Building a Company Site display that lists only the latest five news article titles and publish dates. Use this block on the homepage. After creating the view, the output of our News page is as shown in Figure 20-16. Figure 20-16. The News page The Staff Blog Page One of the requirements is that staff should have the capability to blog. When we created the Article Type taxonomy vocabulary, we included a term named Blog Post. That term is available on the Article content type, which is the template that we’ll use for staff to blog. Each staff will have the ability to log onto the site and author Article content, selecting Blog Post from the Article Type. Go ahead and author a few blog posts so that you can create and test a view to display Blogs. Follow the same pattern for Blogs as we used for News, a page displaying all blog posts as well as a block for displaying the latest blog posts on the homepage. Set the Path for the Page display to “blogs” and add the view to the Main navigation menu. Also create a Block display that lists the latest five blog posts, showing only the title and the date the blog post was posted. Adding the Contact Form to the Main Menu The next step is to add the contact form to the Main navigation menu (Structure ➤ Menus ➤ Main navigation). Edit the menu, click the “Add link” button, and add a new menu item with a “Menu link title” of “Contact Us” and a Path of “contact.” Refer to Chapter 7 for more information about managing menus. 227
