Activate Full content view mode for new node types
Last updated
The Activate Full content view mode for new node types ECA workflow prepares every new content type for Drupal Canvas by turning on its full display and creating an empty Canvas content template.
This model is shipped by the Varbase Content Base recipe. The screenshot below shows the model open in the Workflow Modeler.

Event, Node type created: Fires when a new content type is created.
Actions: The workflow temporarily switches to the administrator account, remembers the new content type's machine name, and then:
Activate Full content view mode: Enables the "Full content" display for the content type if it does not already exist.
Create empty Canvas content template: Creates an empty Drupal Canvas content template for the content type's full display, ready for an editor to build a layout.
The result is that a newly created content type is immediately ready to be laid out with Drupal Canvas, without a site builder having to enable the view mode and add a template by hand.
Go to Administration \ Configuration \ Workflow \ ECA, find Activate Full content view mode for new node types, and open it in the Workflow Modeler.
