New to Drupal. Installed it, set Bartik theme as default, created a few pages with a menu. Now I would like to do something like this:
where the pictures with descriptions link to either other pages or articles. Each of them should have custom size. What is the simplest way to do it?
For the testing I have created 4 articles on my home page, but obviously they sit one on top of each other. The same happens when I add blocks.
There is not better option to this than to install and use Views module. You can achieve exactly what you want using the nice UI it provides.
You need Views if
- You like the default front page view, but you find you want to sort it differently. You like the default taxonomy/term view, but you find you want to sort it differently; for example, alphabetically.
- You use /tracker, but you want to restrict it to posts of a certain type. You like the idea of the 'article' module, but it doesn't display articles the way you like.
- You want a way to display a block with the 5 most recent posts of some particular type.
- You want to provide 'unread forum posts'.
- You want a monthly archive similar to the typical Movable Type/Wordpress archives that displays a link to the in the form of "Month, YYYY (X)" where X is the number of posts that month, and displays them in a block. The links lead to a simple list of posts for that month.
P.S - Views module is the most used and installed module in Drupal, hence, it will be a part of Drupal 8 core.
