Content Type - Contact

What is the Contact Content Type in Drupal?

The Contact Content Type is designed to create individual contact cards that display a person's details, such as their name, title, photo, email, phone number, and address. 

These contact cards are automatically aggregated on a preloaded Contacts Page, which organizes and displays all published contact cards in a structured and user-friendly manner. This is ideal for showcasing staff directories, teams, or other individuals with key contact details. The preloaded Contacts Page ensures that visitors can easily browse and find contact information for specific individuals.

You can also add this content type to other Basic Pages using the Contact Card.

How to Use the Contact Content Type

Creating a Contact

  1. Navigate to Content → Add content → Contact.
  2. Fill out the fields:
    1. First Name and Last Name: Enter the individual's name.
    2. Photo: Upload a professional photo of the individual.
    3. Title: Add their role or designation.
    4. Email and Phone Number: Provide their contact details.
    5. Address: Complete the address fields as needed.
    6. Body (WYSIWYG): Add optional details or a short description.
  3. Save the contact. The entry will automatically appear on the preloaded Contacts Page if Published.
