An example content model

This page works through an example content model for a wine tour site. It puts the building blocks of Drupal CMS content together: four content types, three taxonomies, the relationships between them, and the views that turn them into pages.

The wine tour content model

Wine tour is the hub. It references Winery content and is categorized by the Wine region and Tour category taxonomies. Winery is categorized by Wine region and Wine type. Blog posts and testimonials both reference Wine tour content.

Solid lines are references between content items; dashed lines are taxonomy terms.

Publishing and roles

• Create Pathauto patterns for SEO-friendly URLs: /tours/{tour-name}, /wineries/{winery-name}, and /blog/{blog-title}.
• Use content moderation to manage drafts and approvals for blog posts and updates.
• Create a Winery owner role with permission to edit only its own Winery content, so owners can manage their own listing.

Where to go next
