New kind of articles, same format

Hello,

So far I had only one kind of articles in my website (album reviews).
Now I'd like to add a new kind of articles (artist interviews).

As I like the fields, ideas and design of the first kind, I will more or less fit the second kind to the same fields and design.

But there will be a few differences:
1) In the category view (both kinds must appear in the same list at homepage), I want the cell for the article of the new kind to appear in a new background colour, to distinguish from the others.
2) In the article view, I want the field labels to be slightly different. (And maybe the new background colour too.)

How do you think I should proceed?
Is a sub-category appropriate?

Thanks for the advice you could bring me.

Good night.

if you want the same template use specific class in first div content

Hello micker,

Yes, it should work this way, but how would I recognize which articles are of this new kind and should use this specific class?

HervE

you can add it in custom php

Custom PHP of course, but how will I test if it is one kind of article or the other? That's my question.

2 ways
create a field to choose a class
use a existing field
if this field isn"t display put in render only position

and after edit your code and add for exemple
<div class="<?php echo $item->fields["yourfieldname"]->display; ?>"> at top level in your template ...
now you can target it easier like
.yourfieldvalue .label{} or other style
