How to Change the Layout of Custom Content Type in Drupal

One of most useful features of the Drupal content management system is the ability to create custom content types. By default Drupal comes with two content types: articles and basic pages. You can, however, create other content types, such as tutorials, blog posts, image galleries and videos. The content type editor lets you manage and edit the layout of any content type, whether it is a default content type or a custom one.

Instructions

    • 1

      Log into your Drupal site. Click Structure on the administration overlay panel.

      Click Content Types, and then click Manage Display next to the the custom content type you want to change.

    • 3

      Assign weights to the custom content type fields, based on the order in which you want them to appear. The lower the number, the higher the field appears on the site. For example, if you wanted to assign the image field to appear above the body, you would give the image field a "0" weight and the body field a "1" weight.
