Article Styles
Create & Edit:
Article Styles should be considered a “virtual page.” They’re never displayable directly – they’re only used as the layout for displaying articles.
You should configure one container to use the data source Self — this will be populated with the information from the article itself. Most of the mapping fields are self-explanatory; Body Content is the text content of the article’s Body Editor.
How to use the Content Blocks Editor
Creating Article Styles¶
To create an article style, you can click on and choose New Article Style, or click the add_circle shortcut to the right of any item in your site tree to add your article style as a child of that item.
After you save your article style, it will appear in your site tree with its own shortcut to add a child item, and will be available in the Article Style dropdowns for assignment when creating/editing articles.
Using Custom Fields in Article Styles¶
Because we know that many websites require fields on article pages beyond the basic defaults we’ve included in Phosis, you can add custom fields to your article style similarly to how Custom Data columns work. These allow you to populate articles with more than just title, body, summary/lede, etc.
You can then use these custom fields in your article style’s content block configurations just the same as if they were built-in fields.
When creating an article using this article style, these custom fields are displayed as inputs that you can populate.
At render time, these fields are then databound to your object templates!
