CT Blog post

Updated on

See also the explanation of what you can use the content type blog post for in the article overview of content types.

The starting point is that the website is bilingual. This means that every piece of content on ru.nl is offered in both Dutch and English and therefore every content type must also be translated. Read more about this in the input instruction Translations.

Tab: Content
  • Go to content > add content
  • Click on 'Blog post

You always start editing the Dutch language version. Once you have completed and saved the required fields, you will be given the option to create a translation. Is the content to be offered in English only? Then before you start entering, change the language version to English under 'Language'.

Field Description
1. Title* Title of blog post. Format this as a short statement.
2. Intro Introduction to the blog post. This is displayed in larger than standard font below the title.
3. Summary* Brief description of up to 250 characters. Read about a good summary.
The title and summary are also used for display in overviews and in places where this item is referenced. We call this the "map view".
4. Body*

The content of the blog post.

5. Sections Sections allow you to add additional paragraphs (post), images, video, media and text and a document to the blog post.
