Page with different sections/content types. Possible?

[prototype]

Hi,

I'm totally new to Processwire. I want to build a website with pages, which consist of different sections/content-types. For instance a page with a 1-column-paragraph, then below that paragraph a 3-column-paragraph, then maybe an embedded YT-Video or something else. The user should be free to choose what kind of content types (eg number of columns) are used for the page (columns are achieved through a css grid library). In Typo 3 CMS, for instance, a page consists of different blocks (each block is of a specific content type). Is something like that possible with Processwire? Or can a page only consist of one content type? What would be the way to go?

Thanks!

Best regards,

Michael.

Hi prototype and welcome to PW!

What you are looking for is the PageTable fieldtype. It is in the core, but not installed by default, so go to Modules > Core and scroll down to ProFields: Page Table and install it. Even though it is tagged as a ProField, it is free and included by default with PW.

Unfortunately we don't have any proper docs for this new fieldtype yet, but there are some good snippets of info throughout the forums:

https://processwire.com/talk/topic/6546-pagetable-documentation/

https://processwire.com/talk/topic/8177-page-table-howto/

You should also take a look at the excellent extended version of it:

Really opens up lots of great opportunities.

Dive in and let us know if you need any specific bits of help.
