Page content type (Sector 9)

Sector Page is based on the Drupal default Page content type. Sector Page provides an easy starting point for hierarchical content in menus and includes three sample layouts and additional sample content settings to get you started.  

Features and functionality

Sector Page includes:

• Sector Page content type, displays and responsive menus
• Sector Page Variants and Page Settings (see below)
• Sector Page template elements blocks (see below)
• Sector Sitemap for hierarchical content
• Sector editable 404 and 403 error pages 
• Sample content to make it easy to get started

Introducing Sector Page display options  

The preconfigured Sector Page display options in the Sector Starter Kit allow the content editor to choose between three page layout variants - homepage, section entry page, standard page - and apply additional page content settings - 'Hide sidebar' and 'Show last updated'. 

Both the page layout variants and the page content settings are built on Drupal taxonomies and can be easily extended. The Sector page architecture allows us to mix and match layout options with minimal technical debt. For example, a standard page can hide the sidebar and show the last updated block with only one layout template to maintain. 

The Sector Page display options go hand-in-hand with 'Manage displays' and 'Display Suite' settings.

Term conditions* and related patches 

The Sector block template components listed above are displayed via multiple term conditions made possible with a Sparks custom patch to the term conditions module. This allows us, for example, to exclude the page title in the pre-content region for home and section entry pages and replace it with the page title in the hero region.
