By default Drupal presents the components in a list format.
At the same time provides Blocks, Views and other objects to display the information on this site.
The decision of how to do this deployment and the ability to modify it relates to an architecture appropriate content presentation.
Since there are these products, since the time of Php Nuke and similar distinction is made between a reduced format of the component, called Drupal Teaser, and an extended format which displays all of its contents, known as Body, Body, Full House, Complete, etc.
Have input from at least three variants of the presentation:
- Titles
- Teasers
- Full
The idea is to customize these parts according to the information we want to show at any time.
Drupal by default to cut number of characters, whether there are modules that create a separate field for teasers.
But the form that gives us that flexibility is Content Templates.
This module allows us to customize the output of the components.
This module allows you to create templates and systems and most importantly, they are stored on databases, therefore we speak of components that can be shared among multiple portals with the same types of user.
The decision of when to use a template or not is an important factor in architecture.
In turn, own types of Drupal can be related, both with links and inclusions, you can create complex hierarchies that make more advanced components.
This composition is a determinant of the architecture of the portal.
Therefore, the appearance of the portal not only can be modeled with the same objects themselves but also with components created by us.
I believe this ability to create custom components is one of the most powerful aspects of Drupal.
The module components and further the field and matched between taxonomy module provided by another fantastic Taxonomy Content will go directly into the core of Drupal 7.
It is direct evidence that informs us of the importance of developing this form of writing or portals.
