Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

how to add content type and fixed block of content

Post by animatrix »

I would like to define a custom content type. This custom content type would have a fixed block (e.g. a small menu or just some text) added at the bottom.

I can't find a way to add custom content type in CMSMS.

Additionally, I don't see how to add a fixed block, panel, piece of html, whatever it is called. There is a "block=" parameter to "content" tag, but it just enables a sepearate input while adding content. I would like to define the block *globally* - same way as e.g. footer is defined. But footer is simeply defined in a template, while I'd like to define the block outside of template and somehow attach it automatically to "custom content" I mentioned before.

You can define a User Defined Tag (In Extensions menu), and place that in your template.

footers are not typically "defined" in the template. A footer is usually a Global Content Block, which is then called in the template. This allows for more flexibility than if the footer is defined/created directly in the template.
