A "rich text" or "WYSIWYG" (What You See is What You Get) text editor gives your content editors a way to create and maintain content using an interface that looks and feels a lot like using a word processor. Formatting is applied using button controls, so the content editor doesn't have to know anything about HTML and can immediately see what the content is going to look like after it has been saved.
This section describes third-party (non-Georgia Tech) modules that could be useful for your Drupal site. These are often referred to in Drupal documentation as "contrib" modules.
Editor's Note: If you are using Drupal Express (Drupal 10 or Drupal 7), then CAS is already installed as part of your Drupal Express installation. You may want to look at the sections here about configuring CAS, should you want to customize your configuration, but you do not need to go through any of the installation processes.
There are two components needed to add CAS support to a Drupal website: the phpCAS Library, and two supporting Drupal modules.
Authentication and authorization are often confused with each other.
Authentication is the process of securely identifying a user based on credentials presented (username, password, security token, etc.) For website user authentication, Georgia Tech predominantly uses Central Authentication Service (CAS), often times referred to as the GT Login Service.
Updates patch Drupal to add new features and protect against discovered vulnerabilities, keeping your sites working optimally. Always test new updates on a development site before applying them to your live, production site.
Drupal 9 has a different method of doing updates. Please see the soon-to-be-added pages for Drupal 9 update instructions.
This section contains guides to help you with installing a new copy of Drupal. Information on updating and upgrading existing Drupal sites can be found elsewhere in the handbook.
