Drupal 7 - Using Content Templates | Information Technology at Sonoma State University

Introduction
H ow to insert a template
Examples

SSU Drupal has a variety of built in content templates that can be used with Body content. These are available in any content type that uses the HTML Editor and with Full HTML text format.

Follow these steps to add a template to a page.

Add a new page, or create a new draft for an existing page.
Click your cursor in the Body field where you want to insert a content template. We recommend adding a few blank paragraphs so you can make sure you're not inserting the template into some other section or element of the page. Make sure the Tag Selector area shows "body p".
Click the Templates button in the HTML editor. It's the last button on the right in the top row.
In the Content Templates dialog box, make sure the checkbox "Replace actual contents" is unchecked. Checking this option will replace all the content in the HTML editor with the template code and placeholder text.
Click the template you wish to insert.
In the HTML editor, there will now be template code and placeholder text. Carefully select that text and type or paste your text. If you selected a template with an image, right click the placeholder image, and use Image Properties to browse for and select an image.
Save and Publish.

Content Template Examples

The following samples use placeholder text and images.
