Behind the scenes - Sector module configuration and settings

Drupal allows sitebuilders to create structured content types for a wide variety of use cases - without code. The Sector Starter Kit includes four base content types, with additional content types available as Sector add-ons.

The Sector Starter Kit includes preconfigured user roles, user profiles, and permissions - out of the box, the ability to create, add, edit, or delete users is only available to the Drupal sitebuilder role.

Sector Media aims to minimise the number of Media contribution modules and to rely on Drupal core Media features as far as this is possible based on the progress of the Drupal Media in core initiative. 

The file field upload destination in Sector is set to the public file system. This is good enough for most (but not all) sites.

The media file manager adds advanced file and media management to your site. But what does that mean for the way you manage files, images, and rich media on your site? 

Sector Media allows you to embed externally hosted videos into body content. 

WYSIWYG templates allow content editors to add advanced design elements to their pages without the need to code -  just select a template from the drop-down and insert it into the WYSIWYG field. 

Next to the Drupal default menus, Sector ships with additional preconfigured menus and menu blocks to make it as easy as possible to get started.

In Sector, we use taxonomies as filter criteria, to add metadata, and to label content - as well as for some magic behind the scenes. This guide introduces the concepts of taxonomies and explains what each of the taxonomies do. 

The Search API module together with the Facets module allows sitebuilders to create and manage faceted search interfaces.

Even though HTML metadata is not displayed on your site, it is used by search engines, social media platforms, and other web services. For the Sector Starter Kit we have preconfigured a few basic settings to get you started. 

The Sector Starter Kit includes the Drupal Password Policy module - it allows sitebuilders to configure granular password policies. 

For hierarchical content in menus, Sector provides an easy to use option to show the child pages of a parent page.

The Sector Starter Kit includes the Automated Logout module.
