When you create content on your website, each item of content is categorized by a specific content type. The websites we provide are Drupal based and come with several standard content types (page, book page, event, etc.), with each content type containing the information and settings that make it suited for a specific purpose. At times, you may want to create entirely new content types for purposes specific to your store needs.
For the example below, we are creating a custom content type for ‘Articles’ which will include headline, date, body and image fields.
Navigate to Structure > Content Types > Add Content Type
We’ve taken care of the ‘Headline’ in the previous step 3 and by default, we’ll have a ‘Body’ but we still want a field for Date and Image.
NOTE: Before adding a new field always check the drop-down menu for ‘Select an existing field’; if a field had been used for another content type, you can re-use it here.
You will want to adjust the display settings so that your fields are displayed in the order you prefer and you can hide any unnecessary labels.
Repeat steps 2-4 for the ‘Teaser’
You have completed creating your new ‘Content Type’ and can begin using it to create new nodes.
Navigate to Content > Add Content > Articles
You have now created a node using your new content type ‘Articles’. It can be added to a menu, placed as a link, published to the front page, etc.
