Find below a detailed breakdown of the template types, content types, and how data is populated into templates.
General Principles
- New-Style Pages place all content inline, and if they have a Blog Section, the posts here are set via the Blog Section form at the bottom of the editor page.
- Legacy Pages have a top header that looks like New-Style Pages but only support the Featured Image setting from the editor. If additional content desired like New-Style Pages see Converting A Legacy Page
- Posts, Directory, and Calendar navigation and single post appearance / content are controlled through the Business and Event form fields in the editor. We suggest continuing to place all events, blog posts, and businesses in these sections to maintain consistent content structure and link structure for site usability + search engine crawling. As opposed to, for example, creating Pages for them.
Each major heading here corresponds to the named content section on the backend.
Pages

A legacy page has the Legacy Page category set in the Quick Edit on the Pages list:
This tells the templating system to add a basic new-style header above the existing page content.
Only the Featured Image and Title will be pulled into this template.
