Sections and modules

Most users will not need the settings described here.  However, these can be a way to combine different types of content on the same page.  For example, you can display multiple image galleries on the same page. 

An simpler way to combine content, such as images, video and text, is to use text blocks.


Page anatomy


Pages contain page sections, which contain modules.  For example, a new image gallery page is a page structured like so:

Page
   Page section
      Image gallery module
 

About page sections and modules


Page Sections
They only contain modules.

Modules
Modules have types.  For example, there are image gallery modules, blog modules, bibliography modules and so on.

Both page sections and modules can be assigned a name that can be used in a sub-navigation.  As well, they can have their own look and feel settings.

If more modules are added, the page may be structured, for example, like so:

Page
   Page section
      Image gallery module
      Text module
      Image gallery module
      Video module
 

Add a module


Add a module like so:
 
  • Click on the page name > edit icon > Properties (in the upper right) > Additional content > Add module.
  • Select the type of module you want, and click Save.
  • When the new module appears, click Add name below to give it a name.
  • Scroll back to the top right and click Back
  • You can now edit your module
 

Add a page section


Most users will never need additional page sections.  If added, the admin interface will become more complex.

Multiple page sections may be used when a sub-navigation, or look and feel, which includes multiple modules, is needed.

New page sections can be created like so:
 
  • Click on the page name > edit icon > Properties (in the upper right) > Additional content > Page sections, check this.
  • Click Add page section
  • Click Add name below, and give it a name
