Content Types, Media, and Views

Learn how to build custom applications and other functionality on your Drupal website using content types, fields, and views.

The Content Types, Media, and Views course is a beginner-level course that is designed to teach how to create custom pages, blocks, and other functionality on your Drupal website using content types and views.

Who is this class for?

This course is for people who know the basics of using and editing content on a Drupal website and want to take their skills to the next level. You don't need to know any programming to take this course, as everything will be done using the admin interface of Drupal.

What does this course cover?

This course covers a wide range of topics, including:

  • Creating content types and adding/editing fields.
  • Using entity references to relate content together.
  • Using the Field Group and Inline Entity Form modules to improve the content editing experience.
  • Automatically resizing images with image styles.
  • Creating dynamic pages and blocks using the Views module.
  • Using the Media and Media Library modules to embed reusable images, videos, and other media on your website pages.

How is it taught?

The course will consist of pre-recorded video lessons and live Q&A sessions with the course instructor. The lesson videos can be watched on-demand, anytime it's convenient. Throughout the course, students will follow along with the video and complete hands-on practice assignments to build simple custom applications on a Drupal website. We will provide an online development environment in which to follow along with the lesson videos and complete the assignments.

The weekly live sessions will be conducted online using Zoom. During the sessions, the instructor will answer questions about the lessons and will help troubleshoot any issues with the assignment. In addition to the live sessions, you will have access to an online forum to discuss assignments with other students and ask the instructor questions during the week.

How long is this course?

The estimated time commitment for the course is 4 - 5 hours per week for 2 weeks. After the course is over, you can continue to access the lesson videos, free of charge, forever. There are no monthly subscription fees. Just come back and watch the lessons whenever you want. They are great when you need a refresher on a topic.
