Content Types

The inner and outer content blocks listed elsewhere are available on the Pages content type. Below, we've provided links to examples of other content types like Projects, News (i.e. blogs), Press, Media (i.e. media hits and outlets), RFPs (i.e. procurements) and People (i.e. bios). Many of these can be seen in the Lists page in this design system.

These are available in the side nav within the Sanity admin.

Projects

CONTENT TYPE

The Project content type displays associated content into two columns under a header image: (short) copy on the left and any combination of outer and inner blocks on the right.

You can also add partner logos at the bottom of the left column.

A project can be listed as active or inactive by toggling the "active" selector in the admin.

News

CONTENT TYPE

The News content type provides content for our Conservation News blog. This content type is quite robust and features the following fields:

  • Title
  • Internal Title
  • URL (autogenerated based off title, if desired)
  • Summary
  • Modular Content (any combination of Outer and Inner content blocks)
  • Thumbnail Image (also powers the hero image at the top of the post)
  • Categories
  • Themes (influences a couple design features, like the footer)
  • Tags
  • Countries
  • Authors (you can manually select and reorder multiple authors)
  • Featured Experts (if someone is featured but shouldn't be listed as an author)
  • Reading Time (how many minutes it takes to read this post. This is autogenerated once the post is published)
  • Published At (influences the date that displays, not when the post is published)
  • Updated At (when substantive edits are made to an older post)
  • Archived At
  • Freshness Check (to track internally when the post was last reviewed)

It is important to underscore that blog content can be designed like our pages — with any combination of outer and inner content blocks. The hero image, date, author and sock content (under the post) will not be impacted.

If you forget an image, a generic giraffe image will display (see blog post #5 below)

Press

CONTENT TYPE

The Press Release content type is similar to News/Blogs but the design doesn't include Authors or a hero image. The content type provides the same level of customization with any combination of Outer and Inner content blocks.

In addition, you can customize whether it is a Press Release or a Press Statement — this includes a difference in categorization but no difference in layout. You can also specify:

  • Categories
  • Tags
  • Countries
  • Published At
  • Updated At
  • Archived At

Press Releases

Press Statements

Media

CONTENT TYPE

The Media content type folder includes Media Highlights (Title / Media Title / Published At / Media Outlet / Read More Button Url) and Media Outlets (Name / Outlet Logo or Image). The List: In the News (Max 3 Manual) outer content block allows users to type an optional title and select – and manually order – three media highlights.

Other than those fields, there's not much to configure and the only associated content displays as a list, i.e. there's no links to other layouts.

RFPs

CONTENT TYPE

The RFP content type offers a couple configurations — specifically whether it opens a PDF file or a separate web page (using the link picker to find another page on your subsite). Otherwise, you can just adjust the published and unpublished dates.

People

CONTENT TYPE

By using the List: People (Manual) outer content block, you can manually pick a list of people to display. You can also turn off and on the following features:

  • Thumbnail Image
  • Name
  • Title
  • Short Bio
  • (Have the feature link to the longer bio)
  • Display whether or not person is deceased

We wouldn't recommend placing all permutations in the same list but including and not including the thumbnail image is particularly disruptive to the layout.
