Directories allows site-builders to add any content type to a directory. This is done by adding a reference field to the parent directory channel. In doing so the following need to be done for the bundle:


As a content designer I want to to create a new finder with multiple types of content So that I can create a directory with pages and venues Notes

As a content designer I want to to create a new 'events' finder with a single event content type So that I can create an events finder / listing with a simple event content type. Notes

News is a single content type; Blogs is a single content type; I'm assuming they would want to stay that way.

I'd guess consultations would be a single content type? @willguv

Events,multiple content types, or single? @joachim-n

Not sure! Possibly multiple content types to allow to easily use different recurring date widgets for purposes they're best suited to.

Might or might not be relevant, but I've been thinking for a while about using something other than the presence of a key field to define a node type as being a directory -- see https://github.com/localgovdrupal/localgov_events/issues/139.

@ekes consultations may have a lot of variation so worth allowing for this
