A content type defines the fields of a content form.
Custom content types
Developers may define and deploy custom content types to your project or site, tailored to your specific needs.
For the developer reference on defining custom content types, see the XP content type schema reference.
Built-in content types
A handful of built-in types ship with Enonic XP and have special behaviour in Content Studio; those are documented here.
-
Folder — grouping container with no data fields.
-
Shortcut — redirect to another path.
-
Site — the root of a website; carries installed applications.
-
Page template — reusable page definition pairing a page controller with one or more content types.
-
Media — images, video, audio, documents, and other binary uploads.
-
Image — image-specific tools (cropping, focal point).
-
Fragment — reusable page component stored as a content item; edits propagate everywhere referenced.
-
Unstructured — formless content used by applications to store free-form data.
