This module allows sites to easily convert any node into a "Template", and then use that to make it easier to create content from a pre-defined set of values.

Usage

  • After installing the module, edit the content type you want to enable templates on, and select "Allow converting into page template"
  • Create a node of this type as usual. Make sure you save it as "Unpublished"
  • Click the "Page Template" tab, and confirm the conversion of this node into a template.
  • Now your editors can visit /node/{node_type}/templates and select a template to use when creating content.
  • Alternatively, when editors visit /node/add/{$node_type} for a content type that has templates available, they will see a new button at the top "Create from template", which will send them to the page mentioned above.

Note: If you use the Admin Toolbar Extra Tools module, you will automatically see new links in the "Content -> Add Content" dropdowns that make it easier to find templates and use them.
