Custom Blog PAge Content?
Permalink
I'm trying to create a few blog page types for post's I do often that I'd like to have a logo image and table with pre-entered info already in.
I know the original blog let's you include a logo image and display it. but I really can't figure out how to do that.
How can I create a page type with pre-entered data?
Thank You

Probably there are several ways. But what i do (for immediate requests by clients and friends) is copy a pagetype, select it's appropriate properties, name a new pagetype handle/name and activate (save).
After, I'll go into Page and Themes > Pagetypes > Select my new pagetype and select default. This new pagetype I will assign/include in composer > thru the include pagetype in composer setting.
In default I'll enter the details needed for the pagetype. For instance, If I want to build a table with pre entered fields, I'll choose content block > designed it in TinyMCE and create tables and such > click save > and save edit pagetype. Of course in the appropriate/selected area.
So evey time, I create a new post/page by selecting the page type above, the editor will show my pre-installed tables/fields and i'll enter more inputs required. I'll also add additional CSS for the tables if it's required, thru the properties pagetype defaults add header item properties or even using the tinyMCE editor system.
You can also assign certain blocks of choice to have it pre-loaded after you have publish a page in the pagetype > default > edit mode.
But bare in mind that these default edits will occur after you have saved the new pagetype (since that you require new pre inputed items) But to make it available (updated to previous pages), I'll take it making a block/single pages would be best.
These are the instant ways, as basically, requests on making a pre-installed contents comes out of the blue from my clients, with added short time frame for me to refine and build with custom hardcoded pagetypes and additional pre-inputed add-ons/ content blocks.
But I'm sure there are plenty of options to work thru.
