How to Use the Flag Module in Drupal

Flag is an incredibly flexible Drupal module with many uses. When you learn how Flag works, you’ll find yourself using it again and again.

• You can use Flag so your visitors can bookmark content and save it for later.



• You can use Flag so your visitors can label comments as being offensive.



• You can use Flag to create a voting system to upvote and downvote content.

In this class, we cover all those uses for Flag, and many more.

I got back into Drupal about a year before Drupal 7 was released, so I built a couple of sites in Drupal 6. Then in January I completely switched over to D7 when it was released. Because I decided to make the switch right away, I was running into a lot of bugs/issues that hadn't been resolved yet. So, I started to make videos helping other people with the problems I found.

With the videos I made, I realized that I had shown some solutions, but people still had a lot of questions about edge cases. That was when I saw the light, and had the idea to put together series of short videos covering different topics. This format allowed me go in-depth with each module. I'm glad to be sharing these videos on OSTraining!
