As a developer or business analyst I want to easily add properties to my CT that reference the stock content apps, so that I can fulfull project requirements.

Acceptance Criteria

• When a developer creates a CT that references a stock app, they need only to use the simple reference property and supply the name of the CT for that app.

Rationale:

• Currently it confusing to link to stock apps, a developer must decorate the existing apps and create CT files.
• It is a common use case.
• Doing this has another important benefit which is making the content model of the stock Magnolia installation immediately clear and understandable.

Suggestion:

Convert the key stock content apps to have the contentType class so that they can be referenced:

• Assets App
• Categories app
• Pages App
• Stories App

And in the travel demo

• Tours app

(But not the Contacts app. Because it is not commonly used in projects and is more of a demonstration.)

Note that all that is required is to change the class of the app, and add a contentType field.

And to create a simple CT so that referencing is possible. the CT for these apps does not need to include all of the properties. Something like this will suffice:

datasource:
  workspace: website
