Content Profiles

Content profiles let you change the way how your content should be edited and what validation rules should apply.

Definition

You can specify custom profiles in server/data/content_types.json file.

Then you can sync it with database using cli command:

python manage.py app:initialize_data --entity-name content_types

In the file there should be list of profiles:

[
    {"_id": "story", "label": "Story", "enabled": 1, ...},
    {"_id": "snap", "label": "Snap", "enabled": 0, ...}
]

Available fields are:

_id string

label string

description string

priority int

"schema": {
    "headline": {
        "type": "string",
        "required": true,
        "maxlength": 120,
    },
    "keywords": {
        "type": "list",
        "required": true,
        "allowed": ["sport", "news"]
    }
