This manual is no longer in use. Instead, you can find guidelines and instructions for working on gu.se, the Student Portal, and the Hotel Portal in Redaktörsmanual Drupal.

Description	The “Content” tab gives you access to the different content types: “Rich page”, “Information page”, “News article”, “Research article/portrait” and “Research project/group”. The “Event” content type is under development.

Do as follows:

The “Overview” link enables you to see all content types you are permitted to access in your active space.The “Overview” link.
The “Rich page” link
The “Rich page” link allows you to create a page which offers visitors an overview of the content in the underlying structure and which guides visitors to other parts of the website. Rich pages are one of the most common page types.
The “Information page” link
An “Information page” is a basic page type in Drupal and is used for pages centred on text and facts. Unlike a rich page, an information page is often the final destination of someone looking for information.
The “News article” link
The “News article” content type encompasses press releases, student information, research news and news about collaborations.
The “Research story/portrait” link
The “Research story/portrait” content type is intended for popular science-type content. This template has a similar appearance to the news article template and makes it easy for editors to create stylish magazine-like pages.
The “Research project/groups” link
A “Research project/group page” provides a comprehensive picture of research at the University of Gothenburg. The page provides examples of current research and fields in which the university excels. This page should make it easy to find researchers, research projects, research groups and research centres.
