Content Types

Posts and events are two kinds of content. Content types let you make your own: a Team with names and roles, Projects with links and dates, a Menu with prices - whatever your site needs.

You make them in SpaceDash, and SpaceClub! does the rest: a page for every entry, a listing page with cards, a block to show them on any page, and a news feed.

Making a Content Type

1. In SpaceDash, open Content types and click New type.
2. Give it a Name (e.g. Team) and say what one item is called (e.g. Member). Its Address is filled in for you - team means its pages live at /team/.
3. Pick an Icon, and add a Description for the top of its listing page if you like.
4. Add Fields. Every entry already has a Title and a Body, so add whatever else it needs.
5. Publish the change. Your new type appears in SpaceDash’s sidebar, ready for its first entry.

Field Types

Field	Good For
Text	A short line, like a name or role
Long text	A few lines of plain text
Rich text	Formatted text with headings and links
Number	A price, a count, a year
Date	A day, picked from a calendar
Yes / no	A switch, like Featured
Image	A photo or picture
Link	An address on this site or another
Icon	One of the Bootstrap Icons
Choice	Pick one from a set of options
List of text	Several short items, like skills
Link to another type	Points at an entry of another type - e.g. a Project’s team members

Name things once. A type’s address and each field’s stored name become part of your files. Change them after you’ve added entries and those entries lose track of them.

What You Get

For a type with the address team:

What	Where
Each entry’s own page	/team/alice/
A listing page with every entry as a card	/team/
A news feed	/team/feed.xml
A block for any page	+ → your type’s name, in the SpaceDash text editor

Want your own words and blocks around the cards on the listing page? Click Make list page next to the type in SpaceDash. It becomes a normal page under Pages, with the list already in it, and Edit list page takes you back to it later.

Where It Lives

Content types are plain files, like everything else:

• The types themselves are in src/_data/contentTypes.json.
• Each entry is a Markdown file in a folder named after the type, e.g. src/team/alice.md.

To show a type’s cards anywhere without SpaceDash:

{% set listType = "team" %}
{% set listTitle = "Our Team" %}
{% include "partials/typeList.njk" %}

Variable	Values	Default
listType	The type’s address (required)	none
listTitle	The heading above the cards	none
listLimit	A number, or "all"	"all"
listColumns	Cards per row, 1 to 6	3

Turning Them Off

Don’t need content types? Set "contentTypes": false under features in spaceclub.json. Your entries stay in src/, ready for when you turn it back on. See Features.
