Drupal. Content types overview

In this post we’ll talk about content types in Drupal. Any website based on Drupal can have various content types like: pages, posts, news items, slides etc. Content types can be accessed through Drupal administration area.

  1. Log in to Drupal as administrator
  2. Go to Administer > Content Management > Content Types

To add new content type click Add content type button at the top. At the appeared screen you’ll be able to input content type name and type ( machine-readable name of the content type).

Content types can later be used to filter content items, to output content of the specified type on specific pages or blocks.
