Page background information

Theme information

  • PageTypes: a page is assigned to a page type, each page type is assigned to a layout
  • Layouts: the structure of the page in containers/page blocks
  • Collections: a sub-layout that can be re-used in a layout
  • Containers: element used to determine the structure of a layout
  • Blocks: element used to render specific content for the page

The theme configuration is saved in yaml config files. These files are used to update the pages based on the configuration. These files are located here:

  • PageTypes: src/Theme/Default/config/page_types.yml
  • Collections: src/Theme/Default/config/collections.yml
  • Layout: src/Theme/Default/config/layout.yml

The default configuration for blocks/containers is also configured in yaml files. These are located in the w3media framework directory: vendor/w3media/framework/src/Bundle/Theme/Theme
