take a look at the news-module
http://www.opencms.org/opencms/en/download/sandbox.html to see how to
create content definitions.
i wrote my thesis about that, do you want a copy?

another solution:

our company currently developed a structured-content-solution for
opencms.
take a look at the screenshots:

you can define the document-types with xml.
for example:

<document name="ep_partnerdetail" icon="ic_file_partner.gif"
extends="default,meta">
  <property name="seperator" caption="seperator" type="seperator"/>
  <property name="partnername" caption="Name des Partners"
type="string"/>
  <property name="partnerlink" caption="Link zu Partner"
type="hyperlink"/>
  <property name="partnerlogo" caption="Partner-Logo" type="image"/>
  <property name="seperator" caption="seperator" type="seperator"/>
  <property name="profile" caption="Partnerprofil" type="html" />
</document>
