Creating a Data Structure in Symphony


--------------------------------
Description
--------------------------------
Symphony CMS allows the developer the freedom to create a data structure that suits the content of the site. I won’t be straying far from the usual, to demonstrate the basics. We can always extend these data structures at any time, although, it’s better to have a clear idea in mind at the outset.

* Sites

#### Sections

I want to organize my site content into sections

* Resources

* Home

#### Categories

I also want to organize my site content in categories

* Applications
* Design
* History
* Ideas

* Typography

#### Entries

Basic content entries don’t need much more than:

* Title
* Description
* Body
* Section
* Category
* Date
* Publish

#### Items

Could be a lot of different items that get attached to entries or exist just on their own. Here’s where types of content come into play.

* Title
* URL
* Type
* Category
* Date
* Entry
* Description
* Body
* Tags
* Image
* File
* Publish
