Installation

How to install a WeebPal demo package

1. Download one theme package of your choice (e.g: Onepage)

Files included:

README.txt
Onepage D8 theme: onepage_d8-8.1.3.zip
Demo Profile for Onepage D8: onepage_d8-demo-8.1.3.zip
This demo package includes all source codes and content, including sample images. This package will be used to build a site like our demo for the theme easily.

The below steps will give you the installation guide so that you can build your website to look exactly like the Onepage D8 Demo

onepage_d8-8.1.3.zip

2. Extract onepage_d8-demo-8.1.3.zip above and copy it into your host, and rename the directory

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

4. In the demo directory database/ , you can find database dump named sample_data.sql.

Import this file into new database.

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

6. Open settings.php, locate the $database array and set proper credentials. Then move the $database code to the bottom of the file.

                     $databases['default']['default'] = array (
                      'database' => 'databasename',
                      'username' => 'username',
                      'password' => 'password',
                      'prefix' => '',
                      'host' => 'localhost',
                      'port' => '3306',
                      'namespace' => 'Drupal\\Core\\Database\\Driver\\mysql',
                      'driver' => 'mysql',
                       );
                   $settings['install_profile'] = 'standard';,
                    );

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 Onepage Demo

Now, you can visit administrator site with the admin admin/admin account 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

Step 1: Navigate to Structure > Taxonomy to create vocabularies as the following:

Then, add terms for each vocabulary
