Drupal contains Taxonomy to categorize the content. There are several ways to do this, for example:
- Tags on content
- Category on content
Tags on content
Taxonomy in Drupal can be configured to use tags in the content. Tags are very handy to find back related content. Nodes like a blog entry, page and other content types, can be found back on that subject. It will be possible to give more than 1 tag to a node.
Do the following steps to configure tags:
- Go to menu: Home › Administer › Content management › Taxonomy
- Click on ‘Add vocabulary’
- Fill in ‘Vocabulary name’: Tags
- Select under ‘Content types’: ‘Blog entry’ and ‘Book page‘
- Select under ‘Settings’: Tags
- Select under ‘Settings’: Required
- Click on Save
Now it is mandatory to fill in tags for blog entries and book pages. In most cases it is not necessary to select the other content types. If you select other content types, you are required to give tags to content like the Welcome and the About page.
Content categories
A category is nearly the same as tags, it is possible to use tags as categories. But sometimes it is handy to have a category for the content, for example when you like to use tabs. All content of one category will be placed under 1 tab.
Do the following steps to configure categories: - EN
- Go to menu: Home › Administer › Content management › Taxonomy
- Click on ‘Add vocabulary’
- Fill in ‘Vocabulary name’: Category
- Select under ‘Content types’: ‘Blog entry’ and ‘Book page‘
- Select under ‘Settings’: Required
- Click on Save
