Page content types

Content elements are structured into various groups, with specific types assigned to each group. Depending on the type, you have different design options in a content element.

Standard

• Content element type “Header”: A heading with a text field.
• Content element type “Text & Media”: A heading with a text field. Here, you can add text as well as files. The text can be entered and formatted using the Rich Text Editor. You can create links, create tables, and embed files under “Media” (image and audio files, videos, or PDFs). Including videos from YouTube or Vimeo is also part of this.

Lists

• Content element type “Table”:
  With the table wizard, you can create tables.
  Preferably, use the table in the RTE (Rich Text Editor) and less the content element Table.
• Content element type “File Links”:
  Links to PDF files with the option to customise their appearance.
  You can find a guide for "File Links" on a separate page.

Menu

Creating link lists on internal pages, such as sitemaps, section indexes (anchors), link lists of subpage trees, etc.
You can find a guide for the various menus on a separate page.

Special

• Content element type “Insert Records”:
  If you want to display the same content element on multiple pages, you can reference it.
  You can find out how to do this on the page “Insert Records.”
• Content element type “Insert Plugin”:
  With plugins, you can insert content provided by extensions. These include:
  • TUMvCard
  • TUM MemberList
  • TUMcourses
  • CurlContent
  • News
• Content element type "Divider":
  This is used to create a horizontal line (e.g., a separator between two content elements).
• Content element type “iFrame with consent”:
  This allows you to integrate content from external sources, such as maps or program brochures, via iframe.
• Content element type “Carousel”:
  This is used to create a slideshow.
