Create knowledgebase landing page

[steinmb]

Before going to production the page https://elmcip.net/knowledgebase (kb) needs to be created. This is the site main landing page trying to get find to the records. The last year it as also been the site front page. The original front page was deprecated due to lack of updates and outdated design.

Drupal 7 landing pages like this was created using the Panels module. Have decided not to use it in D9. Think it is a little overkill.

Scope of work

• [x] Create a landing page content type.
• [x] #35
• [ ] All views on kb pages and blocks need to be created:
  • [ ] Creative Works,
  • [ ] Critical Writing,
  • [ ] Authors,
  • [ ] Platform/Software,
  • [ ] Teaching Resources,
  • [ ] Publishers and Journals,
  • [ ] Organizations,
  • [ ] Events,
  • [ ] Databases and Archives
  • [ ] Research Collections.
• [ ] Re-create landing page with no changes.
• [x] Set landing page also as front page.

Suggest using Drupal core Layout Builder and allow each content item have it's own custom layout. Allow us quickly to add and render view blocks inside the node bundle.

Notice there is a contextual custom pane only showing up for logged in users. Suggest we split that details out into post production. Not a blocker and contains only a variation of the orig. page ingress.
