How do I login?
The login page is at <your site address>/user. For example, to login to http://cas.unt.edu, you would go to http://cas.unt.edu/user. You will always use this address to login to your site, so it may be helpful to bookmark it.
Your username is your EUID, and your password is your EUID password. If for some reason you are not able to log in with your EUID and password, first confirm you are using the correct password. If you are still having difficulty, check with HR- you must have a employee account to log in to UNT Drupal.
How do I get editing permissions?
First, make sure you have logged into the site at least once. We will be able to grant you editing permissions once you've logged in for the first time. Submit the form at /services/web-social-media/request/get-access-website to request access. Once you have been granted editing permissions, you can refer to this guide for help: Getting Started with Drupal | Computing for Arts + Sciences
We are also available for one on one coaching for web editing, via Zoom or Teams. Put in a Web Ticket by emailing our ticket queue at at-web@unt.edu.
What is the Web Team's responsibility as far as editing webpages?
The AT Web Team is here for guidance and support, but we are not responsible for making everyday edits. We empower our departmental editors to make any edits needed- with the exception of webforms, and the exception that we do not allow end users on VPAA to create content, only edit existing content. We are always happy to provide training or advice, but the end users are ultimately responsible for making sure edits are done and sites are updated and maintained.
What is a node?
In Drupal, a node is a single piece of content made up of various fields. Any type of content you can create by going to Content management » Create content is a node. For example, a single Page is a node, as is a Story, Event, or Faculty entry. Each of these types of nodes is what is referred to as a content type.
What is a block?
A block is either custom or pre-defined snippet of content that can be placed in various regions of the site's layout. Blocks function primarily to allow the visitor to find essential information quickly; for example, a block may be sub-page navigation, or a list of links to recent news articles.
What's the difference between a block and a node?
Blocks function as design elements, and can be placed within nodes or any page on the site.
A node is a single page of content. It may be referenced from other nodes, but essentially it functions as an individual element of your site. An easy way to distinguish it from a block is that every node has its own individual URL at which it can be viewed, whereas a block can only be accessed on a page to which it is attached.
