What are content types

As an editor in EIFE portal, your primary interaction with content types involves using predefined templates created by site builders. Understanding how to use these templates effectively will enhance your efficiency and ensure content consistency across your site.

Understanding Content Types

Content types are predefined formats that determine the structure of the content pieces you create. Each content type has a set of fields that you need to fill out, which might include text inputs, selections, file uploads, and more. For example, a content type for “Article” might include fields for the title, body, author, and publish date.

Using Content Types

When creating new content, you will start by selecting the appropriate content type that matches the kind of information you want to publish. For instance, for a news update, you should use the “News and events” content type.

What content types are available

Within the REA portal, you will encounter various content types designed to accommodate diverse content needs. These content types are categorised based on their intended use: some are crafted for a specific, single purpose, while others are versatile and can be adapted for multiple purposes.

  1. Event site

    This content type is specifically designed for promoting a single event through a one-page site. It serves as a dedicated platform to highlight essential information about significant events such as trade fairs or expos, particularly those promoting European food and drink in a specific country or region. This template can be activated upon request at the country level, ensuring targeted promotion and relevance. It effectively centralises all event-related details in one location, making it straightforward for users to access information.

  2. Landing page

    The Landing Page is a versatile content type suitable for creating various pages within the EIFE portal. Whether you’re crafting a homepage, an about page, or specialised B2B pages, this content type offers the necessary flexibility. Its adaptable structure allows for customisation to meet the specific needs of different types of pages, making it ideal for broad use across multiple contexts within the portal.

  3. News and events

    This content type is specifically crafted to facilitate the sharing of updates, announcements, and scheduled events within the EIFE portal. It is ideal for keeping the community informed about recent developments, significant achievements, and forthcoming gatherings that involve European food and drink industries.

  4. Product

    The “Product” content type within the EIFE portal is designed to facilitate the uploading and detailed presentation of products such as apples, oranges, strawberries, and other items. This content type is essential for businesses and stakeholders within the portal who wish to showcase and provide information about their product offerings.

  5. Product category

    The “Product Category” content type in the EIFE portal helps organise products into groups such as vegetables, cheese and dairy, and pasta and cereals. It includes a carousel display to showcase products within each category, making it easy for users to browse visually. This content type integrates with the “Product” content type, ensuring each category displays relevant products with detailed information.

  6. Recipe

    This content type is structured to provide a comprehensive format for presenting recipes, ensuring that all necessary information is conveyed clearly and attractively. It supports the inclusion of ingredients, step-by-step cooking instructions, and serving suggestions.

  7. Resources

    The Resources content type allows for the direct upload of various file types, including documents, PDFs, and images, making it a versatile tool for distributing content. Additionally, it supports embedding videos from popular platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, and the AV Portal.

  8. The “Campaign Footer” content type in the EIFE portal enables the creation of customised footers for different country sites and event-specific pages. This feature is crucial for tailoring information to specific audiences while maintaining a cohesive brand appearance across the portal.

  9. Webform

    The webform content type allows editors to manage forms on content pages within the EIFE portal. This content type is designed for creating contact forms, surveys, feedback forms, and other data collection tools.
