Starting in Spring 2021 we will begin transitioning Cascade websites to use the new Basic Template.
Cascade uses templates for creating pages and our original setup of cascade used a separate template for each page layout (for example: Second Level Page, Second Level Page – faq, Second Level Page – stafflist….)
The Basic Template contains multiple components (layouts), so there is no longer a need to use a separate template for each type of webpage. With the Basic Template you can create a typical content page or you can create a page with an opening paragraph, an faq and a video.
Currently the Basic Template contains the following components:
- Text Editor
- Text Editor with Of Note
- Of Note
- BrightCove Video
- FAQ
- Tilelist
- Block Grid
- Staff Listing
- Page Header
note: The Basic Template is actively being worked on so more components (layout options ) will continue to be added.
- Components can be used in any order
- Components can be used multiple times.
- Each component is added to that page by adding a new row and selecting the type of component.
- To add a row:
- press the green plus sign to the right of the Row section
- use the radio buttons to select the component
- the edit area will automatically populate with the fields needed for the selected component
