Description of Theme Settings

These include:

Since September of 2013, Georgia Tech Institute Communications has provided an official Georgia Tech Drupal theme (GT Theme) suitable for all official unit websites, including but not limited to college, school, project center, and administrative units. This theme implements the Georgia Tech Website Visual Style Requirements that all official websites are expected to follow.

Integration between LDAP and CAS allows you to grab user data fields and attributes available from the campus LDAP servers while still authenticating users via CAS. 

Basic Content Types (Built Into Drupal)

Basic Page

A web page has unique content that should usually have a link from the main menu (the top, gold menu in the new design). A page may contain documents, images, or just regular text. Use basic pages for your static content, such as an 'About us' page.

There are two parts to installing CKEditor for Drupal 7 (Drupal 8 comes with it already installed):

1. The CKEditor Drupal module, which is placed in the sites/all/modules folder.
2. The CKEditor library, which is placed INSIDE the sites/all/libraries folder.

After installing the module and library, enable the module and it should take effect immediately.

There are also quite a few modules that attempt to cache resource-heavy actions on Drupal.

Getting Started with Performance Module

For most websites, core Drupal caching should be sufficient to keep CPU/memory usage down and keep your website running smoothly. However, for larger and more complex websites, additional caching and optimization will be needed.

For your specific website (and its use cases, structure, and workflows), please browse through the modules below and see which module(s) may work for your website. 

The Drupal community on campus has found a number of modules which help with using CKEditor:

IMCE

Versions: Drupal 10, 7

​IMCE can be used for managing images, and you might even use imce for files, as well.

Installation instructions for IMCE:

Drupal and CAS utilize different logout functions. Sending the user to /logout will log the user out of your site only and just return the user to the front/home page.

Sending the user to /caslogout will log the user out of your site and redirect the user to the logout page for CAS.

One way to send users to the CAS logout page without hunting down and changing every script that calls logout is to set up /logout as an alias for /caslogout.

The following settings should be adequate for most Georgia Tech developers using Drupal version 7.

The CAS configuration page can be found on the black administration toolbar under Configuration -> People -> CAS Settings

Alternatively, you can access the configuration page by adding "/admin/config/people/cas" to the end of your site's front page URL.
