In this tutorial you will learn how to create a custom content type.
Before proceeding to create a custom content type, follow the instructions at http://drupal.org/getting-started/5/install-contrib/modules to install and configure the very popular user contibuted Content Construction Kit (CCK) module (http://drupal.org/project/cck).
We are going to create a simple press release content type.
- Click Administer
- Click Content Management
- Click Content types
- Click Add content type tab
- Fill out the form as follows:
- Name: Press Release
- Type: press_release
- Description: A press release has fields for title, city, and body.
- Click Save content type to use the default Title and Body field labels.
- Click Edit beside the Press Release content type
- Click Add field tab
- Fill out the form as follows:
- Name: City
- Field type: under Text, select Text Field
- Click Create field
- Accept the default Widget Settings and Data Settings by clicking Save Field Settings
- Change the weight of the City field to -3 and click update
If you click on Create content, you should now see a Press Release option.
