Use colour blocks for a great way of making important information - like reminders, opening hours, etc. - stand out. This tutorial covers adding a 'Colour block' (see right). Make sure you have added a highlight box widget before completing the following steps.
Instructions
The highlight box widget you created is programmed to find the hidden sub-page called 'HighlightBox' and pull any items from it. To add a colour block to your highlight box, follow these steps:
- Find the hidden HighlightBox section for your page in your site structure;
- Click on the blue Actions button and click Create content;
- A list of content will appear. Select the item called 'Colour block'; (Find out how to add a Content type)
- A form will appear. Complete the form as follows:
| Field title | What should I do? | Is it compulsory? |
| Name* | Name the block and give it a concise description e.g. 'Colour block - training page'. This is for your reference and the user does not see this. | Yes |
| Heading* | Give the block a heading. This appears at the top of the colour block and is visible to the user. | Yes |
| Box content* |
Use the editor to add headings, content, bullet points or links. For more information on the menus and buttons on the editor please refer to the General content instructions page. |
Yes |
| Colour* | This now defaults to a light grey background, so the colour option no longer changes the background colour. | Yes, but changing the colour has no effect. |
- Click Save and approve and preview your page.
