The following "types" of pages are used on the IS&T website (this is not the same as formal "content types" in Drupal - content types are similar to page templates that have unique structure and function):

Page Types

  • Home page** Content Type=IST Home Page
    • has a subset of the service catalog (services grid) based on popularity of services before the last redesign
  • Services and Resources page** Content Type=Services and Resources Page
    • this is the full service catalog (services grid), which links out to the full set of the Service/Topic detail pages
  • Topic/Service pages (example)
    • Content Type=Topic Page
    • the detail pages of the service catalog
  • Top-level pages (like Security or Getting Started)
    • Content Type=Top-Level Page
    • these types of pages are not necessarily at the very top-level of the site hierarchy, but instead provide top-level information about services and also provide an additional image block on the top-right of the page (Note: low usage of this content type)
  • Basic pages (example) - Note: this is the majority of the site
    • Content Type=IST Basic Page
    • these pages are used for basic content,
  • Software download grid** View
    • displays information from the software version pages, and provides links to the version pages as well as to direct downloads of software
  • Software version page (example)
    • Content Type=Software Version Page
    • these pages feed the data that shows up on the grid
  • Subsite pages (example)
    • Content Type=IST Subsite
    • these pages have their own left-hand drill-down navigation built in; otherwise, very similar in look and feel to Basic pages.
  • Wizard pages (example)
    • Content Type=IST Basic Page
    • these pages use the Basic page content type; they function and look differently because they step clients through a slightly more graphical approach to getting content
  • Forms (example)
    • Content Type=Webform
    • created using the Webform module
  • News home/front page
    • Content Type=News Front Page
    • a combination of views and blocks that displays content from the news part of the site
  • News article
    • Content Type=News Page
    • this is a basic news article on the site
  • (News) Events
    • Content Type=News Page
    • this is created using the same News Page content type as the news articles, but has an Event date and is displayed on the News front page in the Events section
  • (News) Spotlights
    • Content Type=News Page
    • this is created using the same News Page content type as the news articles, but is displayed on the News front page, and has a larger graphic option
  • News multimedia page
    • Content Type=Media Page
    • this is the page(s) that display videos pulled in from Tech TV
  • News category/headlines/spotlights page
    • Views
    • these are views that pull in content based on what kind of news article page has been created - by category, or headline, or spotlight
