Beschreibung

This section covers how to control the visual structure and layout of pages in Drupal. Learners will understand how Drupal uses blocks and regions to build page layouts, and how to place and configure content elements across the site. By the end of this section, learners will be able to create both site-wide layouts using the block system and flexible, custom layouts for individual content using Layout Builder, giving them full control over how content is arranged and displayed to users.

Ziele

  • Understand the concept of blocks in Drupal - Learners will be able to explain what blocks are, how they function as reusable content components, and identify different types of blocks (system blocks, custom blocks, views blocks)
  • Identify and understand template regions - Learners will be able to recognize the regions defined by a theme, understand how regions structure the page layout, and explain the relationship between themes and regions
  • Place blocks in template regions - Learners will be able to assign blocks to specific regions using the block layout interface and control where content appears on the page
  • Configure block visibility and settings - Learners will be able to control when and where blocks display using visibility conditions (by page, by role, by content type) and configure block-specific settings
  • Order and arrange blocks within regions - Learners will be able to control the display order of multiple blocks within the same region using weight or drag-and-drop ordering
  • Create custom blocks - Learners will be able to create custom block content for static or frequently reused elements that need to appear in various locations across the site
  • Use Layout Builder for content displays - Learners will be able to enable and utilize Layout Builder to create flexible, customized layouts for individual content items or entire content types by placing and arranging blocks directly within the content display
  • Understand the theme layer's role in layout - Learners will recognize how the active theme determines available regions and how layout decisions interact with content modeling and display modes
