A custom component is used for text and/or images. It is for creating generic content blocks where you can place whatever content you wish.


Where to Find:

This Component can be found in the "Add to Page..." section of the Toolbar.


Adding to Website:

After selecting this Component, you will be able to choose exactly where you want to add it!

You will see all available content locations it can be added - on the current page only (content locations in Gold), on every page (content locations in Red), or on every page under the current page directory (content locations in Blue. For example - if you are editing a page called "About", the blue content locations would allow you to add this component to all pages under the /about/ directory).


Configuring:

You can optionally set a Title to be displayed above the content on your page.


You can use Content Templates to insert a premade content block. The available Content Templates are:


  • Cb1.PNG Text with right aligned image - A basic column of text next to an image. Useful for about us, bios, portfolio item and other pages where the image relates closely to the text.
  • Cb2.PNG Text with left aligned image - A basic column of text next to an image. Useful for about us, bios, portfolio item and other pages where the image relates closely to the text.
  • Cb3.PNG Two small images with text - Great for about us pages, partnership descriptions and other pages where the images are there for reference.
  • Cb4.PNG Two columns with text - Your standard two column layout. The infinite possibilities include stories, histories, about us and other pages with a lot of text.
  • Cb5.PNG Two columns with images on top - This is great for describing two images on a single page, or comparing two things side by side.
  • Cb6.PNG Three columns with text - A three column layout. Excellent for smaller text pages and ideal for lists of items or links.
  • Cb7.PNG Three columns with images on top - This is good for comparing or writing about multiple images, or for introducing multiple members of a team and other similar pages.


Using the Image Toolbar:

Built into this editor is a image hover toolbar which will help you manage the images added within it, and perform some tasks that may otherwise require coding, quickly and easily with a few clicks.
