Naming conventions

Fields

Where possible, fields should be re-used. So create the field with that in mind.

field_title

field_body (long formatted, with summary), summary can be turned on/off as needed

field_summary (plain, long)

field_link

field_image_video media reference to image/video

Scoped

Should be scoped to content type or entity bundle if necessary, but always create with re-use in mind.

Bad: field_length (this field is too specific, it should be scoped to the content type)

Good: field_course_length

Good: field_course_requirements

Entity Reference

Entity reference fields should be named according to the bundle they are referencing, not the type.

Bad: field_node

Good: field_profile (references profile nodes)

Good: field_news_event (references news or event)

Good: field_news_category (references news_category taxonomy vocabulary)

Paragraph / ECK

field_row

URL patterns

When creating patterns for content, it’s always useful to ensure that the full menu path to the content is included.

A common pattern for doing this is to use the menu-link:parent:url:path token. This includes the parent path in the content path.

This will also allow for updates on parent path after creation.

[node:menu-link:parent:url:path]/[node:title]

Easy Breadcrumb

Easy Breadcrumb uses the current URL (path alias) and the current page’s title to automatically extract the breadcrumb’s segments and its respective links. Which means using it in conjunction with the URL pattern above usually generates extremely friendly and usable breadcrumbs out of the box.

Some recommended default settings to create full breadcrumbs:

  • Include the front page as a segment in the breadcrumb (the first segment in the breadcrumb)
  • Include the current page as a segment in the breadcrumb (the last segment in the breadcrumb)
  • Use the real page’s title when available (instead of always deducing it from the URL)
