At present if you wish to create a content module, please select the LINKS module within the adminstration panel.
WYSIWYG editor for non-tecnical users
The Links module has a limited WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor which allows the user to
• enter text
• format it to be bold and italic
• create bulleted and numbered lists
• insert hyperlinks
• upload and insert images
The text within the module will be formatted using an agreed style set for font type, size and colour to maintain consistency throughout your website.
Source editor for more tecnical users
The Source button allows you have greater control of the module content by editing the HTML source code.
Font Style
The overall site font style is defined in CSS, however, alterations can be made in the code for size and colour using "font" tags.
e.g. <font size="200" color ="#87d300"> Text </font>
You can make text bold or italic in the WYSIWYG editor, but if you prefer to continue working in the Source editor the bold tag used is <strong>,the italic tag is <em> and the underline tag is <u>
A set of predefined CSS "h" tag headings can also be used within the Source editor, for which size and color can not be altered (please note the spacing above and below the headings and <h3> includes the blue bar):
<h1>
<h2>
<h3>
<h4>
<h5>
<h6>
Layout
WIth the module WYSIWYG editor you can arrange content in a single column where the width is defined by the module, in relation to whether it is placed in a narrow or wide area on the page. You can position content more acurately by editing the source code and using standard "table" tags.
e.g.
<table height="200" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="2" width="100%" border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Text for cell 1</td>
<td>Text for cell 2</td>
<td>Text for cell 3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Text alignment can be applied to cells where "valign" sets the vertical alignment and "align" sets the horizontal.
e.g.
<td valign="top" align="left">Text for cell 1</td>
<td valign="middle" align="center">Text for cell 2</td>
<td valign="bottom" align="right">Text for cell 3</td>
Images can be placed within cells by using the insert image button in the WYSIWYG editor or by copying and pasting the image reference of an existing image into the Source editor.
