Learning Drupal

This is a list of concepts that you should familiarise yourself with when working with Drupal for the first time.

Basics

• I've set myself up with a development environment - PHPStorm and/or VSCode, Docker, Git

• I have installed the Drupal 9 Quickstart: https://github.com/teamdeeson/d9-quickstart

• I have created a content type in Drupal

• I have added several fields to my content type in Drupal

• I have created an entity reference field, for example to link one type of content to another

• I have customised the edit form for my content type (re-arranged fields, changed labels, added descriptions etc)

• I have installed a Drupal module using Composer and Drush

• I have installed the Paragraphs module (https://www.drupal.org/project/paragraphs)

• I have created a paragraph type and added it to my content type.

• I have created a user role and set some permissions. E.g. an editor role which has access only to create pages but not make system-wide changes.

• I can use Drush to login to a site (drush user-login)

• I have created a taxonomy type and terms

• I understand how and when to rebuild Drupal cache
