Description
Customers are having trouble with how to use the content stored in the content type they have created.
Information on how to do so should be at least included in these locations:
Maybe at the bottom of:
https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS57/Content+type+Model+definition
Or in the Related topics section.
Currently, the only place that I could find that describes how to use content from a content app in the webiste is this page:
https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS57/Accessing+content+on+the+server+side
The page is good, but is fairly complex and is part of a bigger tutorial.
It would be helpful to have a more concise description of how to to accomplish this. Also it should include how to have a page on the website render a specific content item based on a querystring, and how to get "pretty URLs" with URL mapping configurations.
Here is an example of a simple page template that can render content from a workspace, a full list, or a specific item. However it does not implement the pretty urls:
https://git.magnolia-cms.com/users/czimmermann/repos/content-types-demos/browse/demo1/light-modules/hotspots/templates/pages/walkingtours.ftl
I would expect to find this information both with the "Createing a website with Magnolia", and maybe also under "Developing", adjacent to "Accessing congtent on the server side".
