Illustration 3: New content types vehicle and site

For the time being, a specification for the title (place) and description (driving directions) of the content type site is enough.

The content type vehicle needs more fields, a field for two images, a field for the price and a field, which refers to the site. Therefore, click on the link edit (illustration 4) next to the content type vehicle.

• The image of the vehicle is an IMCE Image- field for any desired number image of the vehicle of images. You need to enter the desired amount in the form field number of values. I choose four values, as I want to put up maximal four images. This setting exists in many fields, that allow multiple values. With some values it is possible to request additional fields by clicking on a button during the entry. Here, using the IMCE Image field, you need to decide on a fixed number of images.

• The price in EUR is a decimal number (Decimal). Choose Text field from the listed options as a widget type (form element).

• The site is a node reference. As a widget type I choose a select list. The field shall later contain a select list of all sites. Here you must make certain to check the content type in the bottom area of the form, from which the selection should result (sites).
