-.. _TutosBaseDiscoveringTheUI:
-
-Discovering the web interface
------------------------------
-
-You can now access your web instance to create blogs and post messages
-by visiting the URL http://localhost:8080/.
-
-By default, anonymous access is disabled, so a login form will appear. If you
-asked to allow anonymous access when initializing the instance, click on the
-'login' link in the top right hand corner. To login, you need then use the admin
-account you specified at the time you initialized the database with
-``cubicweb-ctl create``.

-
-
-Once authenticated, you can start playing with your instance. The default index
-page looks like the following:
-
-.. image:: ../../images/tutos-base_index_en.png

-
-
-Minimal configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Before creating entities, let's change that 'unset title' thing that appears
-here and there. This comes from a |cubicweb| system properties. To set it,
-click on the 'site configuration link' in the pop-up menu behind your login name
-in the upper left-hand corner
-
-.. image:: ../../images/tutos-base_user-menu_en.png
- :alt: the user pop-up menu
-
-The site title is in the 'Ui' section. Simply set it to the desired value and
-click the 'validate' button.
-
-.. image:: ../../images/tutos-base_siteconfig_en.png
- :alt: the site configuration form
-
-You should see a 'changes applied' message. You can now go back to the
-index page by clicking on the |cubicweb| logo in the upper left-hand corner.
-
-You will much likely still see 'unset title' at this point. This is because by
-default the index page is cached. Force a refresh of the page (by typing Ctrl-R
-in Firefox for instance) and you should now see the title you entered.
-
-
-Adding entities
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The ``blog`` cube defines several entity types, among them ``Blog`` which is a
-container for ``BlogEntry`` (i.e. posts) on a particular topic. We can get a
-graphical view of the schema by clicking on the 'site schema' link in the user
-pop-up menu we've already seen:
-
-.. image:: ../../images/tutos-base_schema_en.png
- :alt: graphical view of the schema (aka data-model)
-
-Nice isn't it? Notice that this, as most other stuff we'll see in this tutorial,
-is generated by the framework according to the model of the application. In our
-case, the model defined by the ``blog`` cube.
-
-Now let us create a few of these entities.
-
-
-Add a blog
-**********
-
-Clicking on the `[+]` at the left of the 'Blog' link on the index page will lead
-you to an HTML form to create a blog.
-
-.. image:: ../../images/tutos-base_blog-form_en.png
- :alt: the blog creation form
-
-For instance, call this new blog 'Tech-blog' and type in 'everything about
-technology' as the description , then validate the form by clicking on
-'Validate'. You will be redirected to the `primary` view of the newly created blog.
-
-.. image:: ../../images/tutos-base_blog-primary_en.png
- :alt: the blog primary view
-
-
-Add a blog post
-***************
-
-There are several ways to add a blog entry. The simplest is to click on the 'add
-blog entry' link in the actions box on viewing the blog you have just created.
-You will then see a form to create a post, with a 'blog entry of' field preset
-to the blog we're coming from. Enter a title, some content, click the 'validate'
-button and you're done. You will be redirected to the blog primary view, though you
-now see that it contains the blog post you've just created.
-
-.. image:: ../../images/tutos-base_blog-primary-after-post-creation_en.png
- :alt: the blog primary view after creation of a post
-
-Notice there are some new boxes that appears in the left column.
-
-You can achieve the same thing by following the same path as we did for the blog
-creation, e.g. by clicking on the `[+]` at the left of the 'Blog entry' link on
-the index page. The diffidence being that since there is no context information,
-the 'blog entry of' selector won't be preset to the blog.
-
-
-If you click on the 'modify' link of the action box, you are back to
-the form to edit the entity you just created, except that the form now
-has another section with a combo-box entitled 'add relation'. It
-provisos a generic way to edit relations which don't appears in the
-above form. Choose the relation you want to add and a second combo box
-appears where you can pick existing entities. If there are too many
-of them, you will be offered to navigate to the target entity, that is
-go away from the form and go back to it later, once you've selected
-the entity you want to link with.
-
-.. image:: ../../images/tutos-base_form-generic-relations_en.png
- :alt: the generic relations combo box
-
-This combo box can't appear until the entity is actually created. That's why you
-haven't seen it at creation time. You could also have hit 'Apply' instead of
-'validate' and it would have showed up.
-
-
-About ui auto-adaptation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-One of the things that make |cubicweb| different of other frameworks is
-its automatic user interface that adapts itself according to the data being
-displayed. Let's see an example.
-
-If you go back to the home page an click on the 'Blog' link, you will be redirected
-to the primary view of the blog, the same we've seen earlier. Now, add another
-blog, go back to the index page, and click again on this link. You will see
-a very different view (namely the 'list' view).
-
-.. image:: ../../images/tutos-base_blogs-list_en.png
- :alt: the list view when there are more than one blog to display
-
-This is because in the first case, the framework chose to use the 'primary'
-view since there was only one entity in the data to be displayed. Now that there
-are two entities, the 'list' view is more appropriate and hence is being used.
-
-There are various other places where |cubicweb| adapts to display data in the best
-way, the main being provided by the view *selection* mechanism that will be detailed
-later.
-
-
-Digging deeper
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-By following principles explained below, you should now be able to
-create new users for your application, to configure with a finer
-grain, etc... You will notice that the index page lists a lot of types
-you don't know about. Most are built-in types provided by the framework
-to make the whole system work. You may ignore them in a first time and
-discover them as time goes.
-
-One thing that is worth playing with is the search box. It may be used in various
-way, from simple full text search to advanced queries using the :ref:`RQL` .
