Component Library
The Component Library contains all the design elements used to build websites at UNI. These elements can be used and reused as much as needed. It helps editors and developers work in a consistent manner and increases time efficiency. It’s like a puzzle, all the parts are there, and as an editor, all you need to do is add and arrange them in the order you desire.
Component Categories
The components in the Component Library have been separated into seven categories to assist you in finding the components best suited for your site.
Lead Text Component
The Lead Text area of the page is a component that is automatically on all pages. It contains the site/page title and a paragraph or two of lead text to the left and the site menu to the right. The Lead Text should provide an overview of what the user will find on the page, as that information is selected by Google for a description of that page. That's very important for Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

The most basic, and most flexible component, is the Text Block component. It supports a variety of options and layouts.
A Spacer adds space between components, in either white (default) or a selection of color backgrounds. There is a Spacer component for demonstration purposes on either side of the Text Block example below. It adds 24 px of space. If more space is desired, additional Spacers may be added.
A Pulled Quote has fields for the quote (don't add quotation marks, they're in the theme), with optional fields for author and author label. There are several different layout variations for Pulled quotes, including with and without photos.
Text Block
The text block features the standard UNI Drupal text area with multiple columns and other tools available. Multiple background colors are available for the Text Block, including this color, Prexy's Pond, as well as the default white, Dome (light gray), Panther Purple (official UNI purple) and Dark Purple.
Text blocks have the option for columns:
Column 1
This is an example of two columns. Each column is 50% of the text area in this two column layout. Images, links, and lists may all be added to columns to create the desired layout.
For more on columns and other tools available for Text Blocks and other components, see the section on the WYSIWYG Editor below.
Column 2
Using the WYSIWYG Editor in Text Blocks and other components
In Text Blocks and other components, the WYSIWYG Editor (What You See Is What You Get) allows you to style and layout your content.
- Paragraph - Select from paragraph or Heading 2 (H2) to Heading Six (H6) for font size. Heading 1 is not listed, because it is reserved for the site/page title.
- Styles - Switch H2 or H3 headings to Proxima Nova, with a slightly smaller text size. It can also be used to style a button.
- Bold, Italics, Left/Right/Centered justification - used to style your text. Underline is not included because only text that is a link should be underlined (which happens automatically)
- Block Quote lets you easily include block quotations or pull quotes within a text block. A similar function is provided by the Pull Quote component.
- Accordion is used for creating dropdown lists of content, such as an FAQ.
- Templates provide multiple layout options for content, including two column (50/50), two column 1/3 2/3, two column 2/3 1/3, three column, three column wide middle and four column. Also available in templates are variations to the horizontal rule for shorter than full-width rules (12.5%, 25%, 50%). A button may also be created using a tool in Templates.
- Link is used to add a hyperlink to text.
- Bookmarks are used for anchor links, to link to content further down on the same page.
- IMCE File Manager allows you to upload and access images and files on the site.
- Upload Image from Computer is used for uploading an image from your computer.
- Video Embed inserts a video that has been uploaded to the UNI account in YouTube.
- Numbered and Bulleted Lists and Indent/Outdent are used to style lists of content on the site.
- Table tool is used for inserting tables on a site. Tables should only be used for presenting data requiring the use of a table, and should never be used for page layout purposes.
- Horizontal Rule places a colored rule across the width of the content.
- Tx cleans up text with leftover code, usually from content copied and pasted from another site or document.
- Show Blocks visualizes all block-level elements by surrounding them with an outline and displaying their element name at the top-left (usually a paragraph or heading))
Pulled Quotes
Pulled quotes have been updated to allow multiple variations. For text only, the look has been updated, and the option to have a color background or white background. The text may also be left aligned or centered.
In addition to the text option, there is now also an option with a photo. Just like with Two-Column Callouts, the photo may be on the right or left side, and may include a button link or not.
Two-Column Cards and Two Column Callouts can be used to draw focus on special programs and information. They usually feature photos or images, along with titles and body text, and a link for more information. Tabbed blocks allow a similar display, but utilizing tabs to display similar content in a tabbed format. Quick Facts provides a method to present pertinent facts about your program or UNI. The Features component is designed for alumni, staff or student feature stories.

Two Column Link List
The Accordion provides a visible title field with a drop-down accordion display an optional Body field and a list of up to eight links.
Directory
A faculty/staff directory is added by using the Directory content type to create a directory page for each member of the department (or other group being represented, such as an advisory committee). A Directory component is then placed on the appropriate page, an optional title and body section may be added, and the people you wish to add are selected for the page by adding their name to the Directory Profiles fields. Once names are added, they can be arranged in whatever order you prefer, by department hierarchy, alphabetically, etc.
More than one directory may be added to a page, to display more than of group of department members. An example of that may be found on the College of Business Deans office page as well as on a number of other UNI sites.
A News or Events section can be added to your site to feature content developed with the News content type or Events content type.
A photo may be included on either News or Events, but it is recommended you either use photos or you don't for each of those blocks. Having photos on some, but not all News items, for instance, creates an odd looking display.
