Drupal Tutorial - Adding New Content

Adding New Content

 

To add new content, you should first login at your administrator area and find the "Create content" link. It is located on the top of the menu on the left. Clicking it will provide you with two options.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To create a page, or create a story. The difference is that if you want to add a static page, like a contact page or an about page, use a page. Stories are articles in their simplest form: they have a title, a teaser and a body, but can be extended by other modules. The teaser is a part of the body too. Stories may be used as a personal blog or for news articles.

 

Both links (Page and Story) will take you to the Drupal content editor. There you can edit your page/story content, as well as:

 

- Choose the Input format (Filtered HTML, PHP code or Full HTML).
- Configure the menu settings -- parent or relative items.
- Comment settings -- enable or disable the comments for your page/story.
