To edit or delete existing content, log in and then bring up the page you wish to edit. Look on the page for an "edit" tab. Depending on your user permissions, you might see this on all pages or only on certain ones.

Clicking the edit tab will bring up a page with a form for changing the page. Here you can change the text and settings. Once you have the text and settings in a suitable form, click on the "Submit" button on the bottom of the form.

Comments allow users to interact with the content on a site, to respond to an article, offer their own ideas, make additions, or supply a critique.

Leaving comments

When you bring up an article to read, look for comment-related links at the bottom of the article. If you're not logged in, this might read "login or register to post comments". When you do log in, you should see something like "Add new comment". Click on the link and you're ready to comment away.

In Drupal, you can cause the teaser to end at the point of your choosing by either clicking in this button in TinyMCE or by adding the following to your content body: <!--break-->

Everything above this tag will appear in the teaser (unless you place it beyond the point at which Drupal automatically breaks the content).

Notes

We will assume that you have selected create content and chosen "story" as a content type.

You should be looking at a form with the title "Submit story". From here, it is just a matter of filling in the form and posting it.

Once you have logged-in, you're ready to start posting content.

Near the top of your personal menu, you'll find a link called "create content". Click this and you'll see a list of the types of content you can create.  See the list below for more information on how to create content.

Once you have registered and approved on the Troop Website, you can change settings to control information about yourself. To see what tweaks you can make to your account, log in and then click on My Account in the navigation block (that's the one titled with your user name). Click on the Edit tab at the top.

Account Settings Tab.

Before you can add or edit content, you need to log in. If you haven't already done so, register as a user, see above (or, if applicable, request that your site administrator register you). Then hit the main page of the site you're wishing to use and look for a "User login" form. This will typically be on the left or right side of the page (it is a "block" in Drupal talk). Enter your user name and password and hit "submit".

To add or edit content on the Troop Website, you have to first be registered as a user.
