Content Types
>= v2.0.0

A single web site could contain many types of content, such as informational pages, news items, polls, blog posts, real estate listings, etc. In Drupal, each item of content is called a node, and each node belongs to a single content type, which defines various default settings for nodes of that type, such as whether the node is published automatically and whether comments are permitted.

Create a new content type

Use the following command to run the included util for creating a new content type:

cd /var/www/_scripts/utils && ./create_drupal_content_type.sh
