Oral History Page

The Oral History page is setup with the "Subpage Fullwidth" template. 

Header Area

The header area uses a rotator titled "Oral History Rotator." You can update the image, title, caption, link and button text for each slide in the rotator. By default, the rotator has only one image, so it functions like a static header image. If you add more than one image to the rotator, the images will rotate.

The bulk of the page is built using sections, monklets and link lists, which are outlined below:

Oral History - Intro

The first section on the page is titled "Oral History - Intro." This is a standard WYSIWYG section. You can add any intro content for the page here.

Resource Sections

The second and third section on the page, "Oral History - Women" and "Oral History - Sisters" use the same two Monklets described below.

Content > Articles

This monklet displays the 9 most recent articles published as featured. The article selected in the bottom rotator row will display in the top area. Within your articles, the "keywords" field needs to be used, and the keywords should match the items entered in the Lexicon link list. 

The monklet supports inline parameters, so you can show featured articles for a particular category or group. For example, if you would like to only show the featured articles that have the category of "Women" assigned, the monklet code would look like this: 

{{section-monklet-featured-articles-carousel|find_category="women"}}

Content > Link Lists

This monklet uses a link list to display a carousel of images that open a popup lightbox (see "Additional Resources" link list for an example). You will need to create a new link list for each resource/article in this smaller carousel, and it will display underneath the top selected/featured article.

Within the popup, the image will display at the top, the name as the heading and the description as text. If a url is used, the button text is also required. 

The images should be 16:9 ratio, so a recommended size would be 1024x576px.

Within the monklet, the "find" parameter is required, in order to specify which link list to use. 

{{section-monklet-linklist-carousel-lightbox|find="additional-resources"}}

Section Settings

Within the resource sections, the section title is added above the featured articles monklet. The section title is using Header 1 and the "sec-title" class (both are under the Formats menu and need to be applied to the title). 

When setting up additional resource sections, we recommend copying one of these existing sections and then changing the titles and monklet parameters. This will ensure the same formatting is used for new sections.

You can also use the standard section options: dark background, background color, and background image.

Horizontal Lines

The blue and white horizontal lines can be added to the source code view of your section using the following code structure: 

  • White Line - <hr class="hr-white" />
  • Blue Line - <hr class="hr-blue" />

You can also copy the respective section with the line color you want to use, instead of manually adding this in.

Lexicon

The lexicon is setup in the section labeled "Oral History - Lexicon" and uses the monklet labeled "Section Monklet - Lexicon".

The content is managed under Content > Link Lists > Lexicon. For each item in the list, the "name" is used for the keyword, and the "description" is the definition.

Note - the keyword name in the link list MUST MATCH a specific keyword name entered in an article. The two will not show correlated if they are spelled differently.
