Drupal 10

Many Georgia Tech websites have been built using Drupal Express (DX), which is a custom version of Drupal that allows you to create a website with little technical or design expertise.

Migration, not upgrade

Drupal 8, released in November of 2015, was a major rewrite of the underlying Drupal code (Drupal's core engine and APIs). Because of the multitude of changes, there is no direct in-place upgrade path to go from any earlier version of Drupal to Drupal 8 or later. Instead, Drupal 7 and earlier sites must be migrated to Drupal 8 or later, which involves setting up a whole new Drupal 8 website and copying into it (manually or automatically) the content of the older website.

This page covers the creation of different types of links using the standard CKEditor link tool.  If your website is using the GT Editor or otherwise has the Linkit module installed, then you will have some additional options as described on the Creating Links in GT Editor (Linkit).

When (and When Not) to Use a Table

Tables should only be used for the display of tabular data (data that is connected to one or more headings).

Do not use tables for any of the following reasons:

Many campus Drupal websites have either the What You See is What You Get (WYSIWYG) text editor called CKEditor, or the custom built specialized version of CKEditor known as "GT Editor".

The table below describes many of the control buttons you will find on the CKEditor or GT Editor toolbar.  If your control buttons don't look like these, you should ask your site administrator or local web developer to look into upgrading your site to the latest version of CKEditor.

Please see the introduction to contrib (third-party) modules before installing anything listed on this page.

The following information is provided as-is with no warranty or guarantees of any kind!  While members of the campus community have recommended the following modules for their listed purposes, it's perfectly possible you could blow up your Drupal website if you don't know what you're doing and install them incorrectly or alongside other modules that are incompatible.

The following settings should be adequate for most Georgia Tech developers using Drupal version 10.

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

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

A Redirect module is available for Drupal to help manage link redirects and locate problem areas on your site post-migration.
