Content Modules

While on the Edit Tab of a page in Cascade Server, modules appear under the Main Editor Window in a button called Template 2015. Click the Template 2015 Button to expand the section.

 

Once expanded, the Template 2015 section displays the accordion page option. This option is usually employed to create Frequently Asked Questions pages. To learn how to use an accordion page, see the accordion documentation for Editing an Accordion Module. For now, leave it marked as No.

Another section called Template 2015 >> Row is located directly under the accordion option. This signifies a row of content on your page. Click the tab to expand the row. A nearly unlimited number of rows can be added. See Adding a Content Row for more detail. Content rows can also be reordered (see Reordering Content Rows), or even removed (see Removing a Content Row).

 

The default row layout is 1 column. The following column options for each row of content can be altered.

  • 1 column
  • 2 columns (even columns)
  • 2 columns (wide column, narrow column)
  • 2 columns (narrow column, wide column)
  • 3 columns (even columns)
  • 3 columns (wide column, two narrow columns)
  • 3 columns (two narrow columns, wide column)

To change the column layout of a row, select the Row Layout Dropdown and select a column option.

Each column layout has different module choices for each column.

 

For now, leave it as a 1 Column layout. Click on the Choices for 1 Column Dropdown to select a module type.

Tip

If the row layout is changed from one column layout to another, all the Choices dropdowns must be changed to None. For example, if switching from a 3 Column (even columns) to a 3 Column (wide column, two narrow columns), all of the 3 Column (even columns) choices must be set to None before switching to the new column layout.

To edit the selected module, click on Template 2015 >> Row >> Column 1 to expand the section.

Make sure to read the documentation on how to edit each module type (see Editing the Contents of a Module).

 

Reordering Content Rows

To reorder content rows, click the blue up and down arrows. It can take several seconds for the change to occur.

 

Adding a Content Row

To add a content row, click the green plus sign. The new row will appear directly below.

 

Removing a Content Row

To remove a content row, click the red minus sign. This removes only the specific row with the minus sign. The deletion removes the contents of the row completely from the page, and the data will be irretrievable.
