Why groups?

Hi Claus, Generally, Template Groups” allow you to have multiple files representing different layouts or even pages within it. There are really a bunch of different ways to work with them (or not)

Let’s assume you have a “Blog” Template group

index.html - Represents the template group - so when you visit the “Blog” page, and view the article listings, that is the page that is referenced

article.html - For example COULD be another page in that group. It stands to reason that the design for a blog article would be different for the index/listing page so you can apply a different layout and create different layout sets to article.html that is specific to the post.

It can actually go deeper than that, but that would be the simplest way I can think to explain the “Why?”

Hoping that’s helpful

Field groups are there so you can create different sets of fields for different types of content. For instance a news/blog story may require different fields to say a product or a business profile.

For example:

A news/blog post might require fields for excerpt, story, related posts, main photo and so on.

A product might require fields for product photos, description, price, sale price, options (product variations such as colours) and so on.

A business profile might require fields for company name, logo, description, address + contact details, map information, link to web site and so on.
