In this tutorial, I'll give you a tour of the field templates interface in Display Suite. I'll show you how to enable Display Suite field templates and walk you through how to customize the markup for each type of field template. I’ll also demonstrate how CSS classes can be applied to various components of field output using the Display Suite's "Expert" field template.

In the original theme, the width, margin, and padding of the elements that make up the search component are set using pixels. Since the width is static, it's breaking out of the sidebar region when the screen size is small enough.
In this lesson, we'll refactor the styles in the search form so that it flexes with its parent container, instead of breaking it. In working through this example, you'll learn the merits of keeping components flexible and respectful of their parent containers.

As we design for mobile, we want to look critically at each component and what it's communicating or how it's adding value. Now that we've refactored our theme to be more mobile-friendly, some elements in our header appear redundant when viewed in a narrow, stacked content column. This is causing our header elements to fill up that important initial screen on mobile. We want to ensure that our valued mobile users get more content and fewer redundant header elements when the page first loads.
In this lesson, we'll identify a breakpoint where the header gets too cluttered with elements essentially communicating the same thing. Then we'll add a new set of media queries, creating styles that will present a more mobile-friendly first impression of our site.

Some of the content that's been added to our case study site isn't responding ideally as the viewport size increases and decreases. We have an HTML table that is a bit too flexible, making the columns too narrow for the text inside them to be very readable. The images in our slideshow are presenting us with a problem when the screen size gets too big: the images are scaling up and losing their quality in the process. To address these miscellaneous problems, we'll change how our content is placed, find some new breakpoints, and add new media queries for our grid_6 regions. We'll also learn some CSS tricks that will transform our table data into lists, making it more legible and sensibly presented on smaller screens.

This video is about making custom image sizes for automatic display on your site! I am going to show you how you can create custom thumbnail sizes that can be used in your content types.
We already know that being able to set a standard for image display creates consistency and a better user experience. It also makes it for easier site administration because you don’t need to cut all of you images before you upload them. Drupal does all the work for you!! And we can specify the exact site we want to use.
I am assuming that you already know how to update the field display settings in your content type to select an image style preset.
For this tutorial, you need to make sure the Image module that comes with Drupal Core is enabled.
We are going to create an image display that has an aspect ratio of 4”x6”, but much smaller. Then we are going to add a couple other treatments to it so that it fits the theme of Photo Journal.

Content Modeling
TopicContent modeling consists of identifying and constructing the different building blocks of data that compose the information on your site.
Responsive Web Design
TopicResponsive web design is a set of design approaches and development best practices that ensures that a web design can be used on many types and sizes of devices.
Modules are bundles of primarily PHP code that extend Drupal in order to add new features or alter existing functionality.
Patches are used to describe modifications made to one or more code files, and can be used to share those changes.
