To get started, go to Content Management > Create Content > Page.

1. Enter a Title for your page.  This text will be used in 3 places:

• The title on your browser window
• The header on your published page
• It will also be used to construct the actual URL of the page

Q.  My image is appearing in edit mode, but not on the published page.

Underneath your editor, click the link to 'Input Format.'  By default, all editors are set to 'Filtered HTML.' This is to prevent anonymous users from posting HTML when comments are enabled.  Since you are an administrator, you can work with full HTML, or 'Rich Text Editing.'  Once this setting has been changed, your image will appear on the published page.

How do I create a list of products that my user can add to their cart?

Use the 'Booklist' tool located underneath the 'Input Format.'  On every page, or event, you have the option to pull up a book listing by the SKU or ISBN.

Advanced users may want to use covers to link to listings instead (click here to download an instructional PDF.)

Where can I get the code to pull my Facebook & Twitter feeds into my site?

For Facebook, go to http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ and review the instructions in the screenshot below to generate the code.

Q.   I have created content, but 'Welcome to Drupal...' still displays on my homepage.

In order to remove the existing content on your landing page, you need to 'Promote' a page, event, or product to the front page.  Scroll down to the bottom of your Edit page, listed directly above 'Save,' you will see a section for 'Publishing Options.'  Select 'Promote to Front Page,' and save.  

I would like to upload a PDF on my site. How can I do that?

Your first step is to check and see if the 'File Attachment' option is available on your content page.  It is located towards the bottom in between 'URL path settings' and 'Comment settings.'  If you do not see this option, email staff@bookweb.org, and ask to have the Upload module enabled. 

Then follow the instructions in the screenshot below:

I found this really cool video on YouTube. How can I get it to display on my site?

Once you have taken the embed code from YouTube (or Google Maps, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) please follow the steps below to add the content to your page:

      a. Under 'Input format,' change the setting from 'Filtered HTML,' to 'Rich Text Editing.' This will allow the system to understand the code.

I pasted previously written content into a page, but I can't get any of the text formatting to change. Help!

When editing in Drupal it is NOT a good idea to use word processing software (like Microsoft Word, Pages, or Open Office) to type up your pages.  These types of programs tend to embed extraneous code that will not format correctly into the page. Instead use a plain text editor like Notepad to write your content.  

Before getting started, make sure that you are using Mozilla Firefox as your browser. There is a bug that will prevent the necessary link popup from appearing in Safari,  Chrome, and some versions of IE.

1. Navigate to the page you would like to link to, and find the path (anything after '.com/'). For example, http://yoursite.com/staff-picks would be linked as just staff-picks

2. Highlight the text, or click on the image that you want to make a link.
