Make an inventory of the page types

Know every page type (home, landing page, article, recipe, topic, video, contact, legal page) and how it is drawn today.

Life cycle: Plan, example 1 of 35. Worked out on the Fit & Healthy site of Exponential 6.0.15+.

Contents

  1. In the Layouts editor
  2. In the content tree and the console
  3. Which to choose
  4. Check

In the Layouts editor

  1. Open Layouts > Layout mappings: each mapping names a layout, its targets and its conditions.
  2. Note per mapping the class condition (for example ng_recipe for Full / Recipe) and the target (Location 89 for the home page).
  3. Open Layouts > Shared layouts to see what all of them share (Header / Footer, Prefooter).

In the content tree and the console

  1. In Content structure, open the site root (Fit & Healthy) and note the classes of its children: Landing page, Topic, Category, Contact form, Article, Container.
  2. Run ./console exp:layouts list for the layouts with their mappings (column Rules) and links (column Links to).

Which to choose

Both views are needed: the content classes say what exists, the mappings say how each is drawn.

Check

  • Every class that has pages appears in a mapping, or is knowingly left to Default Layout (path prefix /, priority 10).
