Why doesn't the Title field appear in Manage Display ?

By 999csharp on 26 Dec 2013 at 20:58 UTC

Hi Everyone
Can someone give me some simple advice please.

I'm just trying to create a basic new Article to use as a list of inventory of items I have
e.g. Name of item:
How many:
So I went into the Admin Menu > Structure > Content Types > Add Content Type.
I just saved the default fields which are Title and Body.
When I go into Manaage Fields, I see that three fields exist ok :-
Title
URL path settings
Body
However, when I go into Manage Display, I can only see this field:-
Body
So my question is :-
Why doesn't the Title field appear within Manage Display and what is the URL path settings field?

I know this is a beginners question. I have ordered a book on Drupal 7 but would appreciate anyone who can answer my questions please. I need to know the answer so I can move my title and body into the Blocks I need it to appear.

Kind Regards and Happy Christmas
Matthew

I had to Select a Layout to see all the Fields

Hi
I've managed to work this out now.

In order to for all the Fields to appear in Manage Display, I had to Select a Layout. I've selected the Two Column layout - is that a good one to start with or should I use a better one?

Kind Regards
Matthew

The question depends solely on how you intend to layout your display. If you need 2 cols, then use 2 cols. There is no better/best.

Title field isn't integrated with the field api. As such the field isn't listed in the manage fields tab in core. One can utilize the title.module to integrate the title with the field api.
