Page Types

Page types in Go-Enjin are a fundamental way of identifying standard content and there are really only three page types at this time:

• page - the common, normal, base page type
• query - enables using PageQL to build normal page content
• anything else

Content editors will likely only ever use the first two mentioned, however, the search pages for example uses a type of search . This value could be literally anything other than page and query and causes Go-Enjin to exclude them within the content provider features.

Using the query page type and .tmpl page format, making an RSS feed is trivial. Specify the queries in the front-matter section and then sculpt a little XML in the content section. All done.

Using the query page type and .njn.tmpl page format, generating content is trivial. Specify the queries in the front-matter section and then sculpt a little JSON in the content section. All done.

This is the custom page type which powers thisip.fyi's main page.
