Content Templates - Tutorials?

[eliseo]

Hi Squiz,

 

In a recent newsletter (https://www.squizlabs.com/squiz-matrix/matrix-newsletter-dec-15) Squiz announced the implementation of a new feature in Matrix 5.3, content templates, and couldn't help noticing the various types of templates that Squiz were able to create with this new feature, inclusive of the tabbed content template (picture shown). I was wondering whether there were any tutorials available showing how the tabbed content template was created? I've tried researching for the instructions both within and outside of the Squiz Manuals, but the information I could find gave little indication as to how such a template could be created. Are there any resources I can access to give me a better understanding of how the tabbed content template was created using content templates?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Eliseo

Hi Eliseo,

 

Unfortunately there are no tutorials currently available for this setup. It is quite complex so it wouldn't be suitable for an entry level example that would be on manuals.

 

Thanks for bringing this up though. I have marked this as an issue to try and get example included in the manuals site in the near future, however it will most likely be a simple setup.

 

I have found a tutorial on how to create a tabbed menu in html : http://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_tabs.asp

 

You could use this as a starting point, by adding something similar to the simple edit layout used in the template.

 

Cheers

Anthony

Yep, we'll definitely try and get an example of a Template creation up on the Manuals soon. https://matrix-manuals.squiz.net/content-templates

Hey, I've just published a new guide for creating content templates here: https://matrix-manuals.squiz.net/content-templates/examples/how-to-create-a-content-container-template

Would appreciate any feedback, let me know if it's easy enough to follow and makes sense.
