About Drupal

Drupal is a Content Management System providing a streamlined way to manage a complex website. Our drupal instance is used as an informational website, a blog, and a wiki.

Input Formatting

Drupal input is nominally HTML. It allows creation of different input types which apply a number of filters before the input HTML text is delivered to the web browser.

Wiki HTML

The Wiki HTML syntax is a subset of HTML with two additions. It allows you to create wiki-style links to other wiki pages using the [[Other Page Title] ] syntax. It also allows you to create a table of contents by inserting <!--tableofcontents>.

Access Control

We'll probably use this mainly to make some pages/posts private. Here is how to do so:

1. Go to create a new Wiki Page/Blog Entry
2. Under the "Publishing Options" Menu, uncheck "published"
3. Type up and save your content, previewing as necessary
4. Click on the "Access Control" tab above your saved content
5. Set permission as you might so desire, the click "Submit"
6. Return to the "Edit" tab for the node, and under "Publishing Options", check "published"

Note that there are a couple of extra steps in this process because the Access Control module does not let you set the permissions for nodes that have not yet been saved. Twiddling the "published" setting prevents anyone from accessing the node before the permissions have been appropriately set.
