Links terrace

The Links terrace is a terrace containing groups of links in a horizontal slider. Each group is a top-level link or a folder of links.

A Links terrace on desktop headed Important Links. Four folder cards sit in a row: Students, Demo Folder, New Folder, and Parents. Each folder is open and shows its links

A page contains at most one Links terrace.

Turning the terrace on and off

  1. Click the + (Add content) button in the admin menu.
  2. Click Terrace Menu.
  3. Toggle Links on.

Toggling the terrace off hides it and retains its heading and links. Toggling it on again restores them. The pencil menu on the terrace contains a second control for this, Turn Off Links Terrace.

Heading

The heading is edited in place. Click it, type, and press Enter to save or Escape to cancel. The heading holds 250 characters.

A terrace whose heading has never been set displays the word Links. A heading saved as an empty field is not displayed to visitors. Editors continue to see the Add Title placeholder in its position.

Layout

  • Desktop: top-level links and folders sit in a horizontal slider with arrow controls. A single top-level item uses most of the row width. With two or more, each slide is narrower. The list inside a slide scrolls when it is taller than the fixed area; the terrace does not grow with the list.
  • Mobile: top-level items stack in a single column. There is no horizontal slider.

A folder expands in place to show its links. Folders open by default.

Click the pencil on the terrace and click Add / Edit Links. The toolbar shows Add New Link and Add New folder.

The Links terrace editor headed Important Links. Add New Link and Add New folder sit under the heading. A tree lists folders with drag handles; the Students folder is open showing Resource Page and Band

The window asks What type of link do you want to add? and offers two choices.

Add New folder

Add New folder opens a window with a Title field. Add Folder saves it.

A folder holds links. A folder cannot hold another folder.

Editing and deleting

While Add / Edit Links is open, each row has controls to edit or delete it. Deleting asks Are you sure you want to do that? Deleting a folder also deletes the links inside it.

Click Close Editor in the pencil menu to leave editing.

Constraints

  • One Links terrace per page.
  • Folders do not nest. Links may sit inside a folder.
  • The terrace can be moved with Move Up and Move Down, but not above the Hero Banner or below the Map.

FAQ

  • "Can a page have two Links terraces?" No. A page holds one terrace of each type.
  • "Why can I not put a folder inside a folder?" The Links terrace allows one level of folders. Put the links in a top-level folder, or use a second page.
  • "What does Stay in Site do?" When it is on, the visitor stays on the current site's address while the selected page's content loads. When it is off, the link goes to that page's own address.
  • "Are these the same as Shortcuts?" No. Shortcuts are icon links in their own terrace. Links are a separate list with folders and a slider.
