Overview

Starting with a new theme, it sometimes takes a lot of time for first time users to really understand how it works. You may want to know how to customize layouts, typography, block styles and make it look the way you want.

Installation

Quick Installation Demo Profile

We created an installation profile with demo content for each of our theme, so that you can quickly download and reproduce the whole site content as presented on our live demo. This way you will get a quicker overview of the features. If it's convenient you may also use the given demo content as a starting point to build your custom sites.

Quick Installation

1. News package included:

  • News theme: news-7.x-1.0.zip
  • Demo Profile for News: news-profile-7.x-1.0.zip

The below steps will give you the installation guide so that you can build your website to look exactly like the News Full Demo.

  • Demo Profile for News: news-profile-7.x-1.0.zip

2. Extract news-profile-7.x-1.0.zip above and copy it into your host, and rename the directory

Quick Installation

3. Access your MySQL database and create a new DB (e.g. News) and user account. Don't forget to add correct permissions to new user to access the database

4. In the demo directory database/ (latest version of package) or profiles/weebpal/ (old version), you can find database dump named sample_data.sql. Import this file into new database.

Quick Installation

5. Now, you need to modify sites/default/default.settings.php file. Clone default.settings.php file, then rename it "settings.php"

Quick Installation

6. Open settings.php, then locate the $database array and set proper credentials.

Quick Installation

                        $databases['default']['default'] = array(
                            'driver' => 'mysql',
                            'database' => 'databasename',
                            'username' => 'username',
                            'password' => 'password',
                            'host' => 'localhost',
                            'prefix' => '',
                        );
                    

When using this installation, you are installing everything from our preview server. So don't forget to set proper values to access to your database: db name, db admin username, db admin password, host, etc.

7. Open the browser and visit your website with the prepopulated content & layout exactly like our News Demo

Now, you can visit administrator site with the admin account admin/admin to delete the unnecessary contents and add the new ones.

Taxonomy configuration

Quick Information

  • Taxonomy: Taxonomy can be simply understood as category management using organizational keywords known in other systems as categories, tags or metadata. It allows you to connect, relate and classify your website's content. In Drupal, these terms are gathered within "vocabularies". The Taxonomy module allows you to create, manage and apply those vocabularies.
  • Vocabulary: for example product category, tag, provider name, ...
  • Term: the items in each vocabulary. For example: vocabulary product category has some terms: laptop, pc, mobile, tablet, camera, headphone, ...
  • For more information about taxonomy, please see: Organizing content with taxonomies

Navigate to Structure > Taxonomy to create vocabularies as the following:
