Here’s the page hierarchy:
- Welcome
- About Gamerz
- Why join?
- Who can join?
- Working on projects
- The rules
- Members
- Projects
- Events
- Contact
There are special pages for managers:
- Members (managers)
- Projects (managers)
- Events (managers)
Let’s mark each page, showing what type of page it is:
- Welcome [Basic page]
- About Gamerz [Basic page]
- Why join? [Basic page]
- Who can join? [Basic page]
- Working on projects [Basic page]
- The rules [Basic page]
- Members [View]
- Projects [View]
- Events [View]
- Contact [Contact form]
- Members (managers) [View]
- Projects (managers) [View]
- Events (managers) [View]
The first six are just Basic pages. They’re easy to create, so the team did them first.
This page…
- About Gamerz [Basic page]
… has an item on the main menu:
The team created the menu item when they made the page:
Notice that they changed the page title and the menu link to “About us”. A little shorter. That helps on small screens.
The Welcome page is on the main menu, too.
When they created the Welcome page, the team didn’t add a menu item for it, though they did make a custom URL.
Welcome is the home page. The team told Drupal this, and Drupal added the menu link automatically:
Not all themes automatically add a link for the front page to the main menu. If your theme doesn’t, you can add the link yourself, if you want it.
Here are the Basic pages again:
- Welcome [Basic page]
- About Gamerz [Basic page]
- Why join? [Basic page]
- Who can join? [Basic page]
- Working on projects [Basic page]
- The rules [Basic page]
The last four don’t have menu entries. Instead, they link from About us. The team created each of the pages, then manually linked them:
The Basic pages are done.
