Sections

What are Sections?

Sections build the layout of a web page and are comprised of columns and regions in a variety of configurations. Once a Section layout is chosen, Blocks can be added to each column or region. Multiple Sections can be added to a web page.

Sections are arranged into various layouts of columns and regions including:

• One column

• Two columns

• Three columns

• Four columns

• Inverted “L” – left

• Inverted “L” – right

After a Section layout has been chosen, the Configure section window will appear with the following fields:

Administrative label: this is an optional field if you wish to label the section. This label will not be visible to page visitors.

Column widths: this field determines the percentage of space within the page each column or region will occupy.

Section ID: this is an optional setting that is used to support an anchor link to this block. For example, entering "feature" lets you link directly to this section by adding "#feature" to the end of the URL. IDs should start with a letter, may only contain letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens, and periods, and should be unique on the page.

Style: Sections can be styled to have different widths on a page, which include:

• Narrow contained width

• Wide contained width

• Extra-wide contained width (Default)

• Full width

The narrow and wide contained width can be used to format web pages to resemble the look of WCMS 2 web pages. Sections will default to one column that is the full width of the page if they are not configured.
