Advanced Layout Options
The following layout options are provided in the Terry CMS:
Basic - Default
A standard text field that functions the same as the page’s standard body text editor.
Body - 50 Percent
A text field that functions similarly to the page’s standard body text editor, but is only 50 percent as wide. When two Body - 50 Percent layouts are assigned to a page consecutively, they are displayed next to each other on the page, as shown below.
Body - 25 Percent
A text field that functions similarly to the page’s standard body text editor, but is only 25 percent as wide. As many as four Body - 25 Percent layouts can be displayed adjacently to each other, as shown below.
Body + Mini Sidebar for Personnel
A similar layout to Body + Mini Sidebar, but the sidebar is used to display the name, title, headshot, and contact information of a user in the Terry CMS, such as a faculty or staff member. When this layout is selected in the editor, a field is provided for selecting the user; their headshot and details are autopopulated from their account information in the system.
Heading
A standalone Heading 2.
Heading 3
A standalone Heading 3.
People Grid
Layout that displays a person’s headshot with text of your choice underneath. This is ideal for listing the members of a committee, organization or board within Terry. Up to four people grids can be displayed per row (as shown in the image below), with any additional grids bumped to the following row.
If no photo is uploaded for a people grid, a Terry placeholder image is displayed instead.
Two Column List
Layout that evenly divides content into two columns. This is ideal for a long list of names (as shown in the image below) as it minimizes the amount of scrolling required by the user to see all the names.
Three Column List
Layout that evenly divides content into three columns.
Text Over Image Grid
Layout that displays an image overlaid with text. The text can be formatted as a link so that the user is directed to another page (either on the Terry site or an external page) when they click the image. You can also apply additional text to display underneath the image.
Rankings and Statistics
Layout that displays a large number accompanied by context and source text. This is useful for prominently presenting exceptional statistics for a department or program. Up to three rankings can be displayed on the same row; additional rankings are bumped to the next row. In the example below, the large number is a department ranking, followed by context and the ranking source underneath it.
File Media
Layout for providing a file that can be downloaded by website users. The file is displayed on the page as a link. The following file types can be uploaded:
.txt
.rtf
.doc
.docx
.ppt
.pptx
.xls
.xlsx
.pdf
.odf
.odg
.odp
.ods
.odt
.fodt
.fods
When using this layout in the editor, an Add media button is provided for choosing a file that is already in the Terry CMS or uploading a new one.
Clearfix
Clearfix is not a layout, but is instead used to separate layouts that populate on the same row, such as Body - 50 percent, Body - 25 percent, or Rankings and Statistics. Placing a Clearfix between two consecutive instances of these layouts will separate them by row.
For example, if you have four Rankings and Statistics layouts and you want to display two rows with two rankings on each row, you can place a Clearfix between second and third rankings to bump the last two rankings to the second row, as shown in the image below. Without a Clearfix, three rankings (the maximum allowed on a single row) would display on the first row and only one on the second row.
