Create an Internal General Content with Right Column page

Laying out an Internal General Content with Right Column page

If you want to create a page with a right column quote or other item that displays in the middle of the page, like in the example pictured below, please read the information below about how you'll need to separate your content in order for it display on the the page properly.

In order to insert a quote in the middle of the page (like #4 pictured above), you'll have to break your main content into multiple components. Using the example pictured above as reference, the first component on the page (#1) would be a General Content component that contains the page's headline and introductory paragraphs. Next to that is a quote (#2) that uses a separate General Content component and was the 2nd component inserted into the page.

After that comes another General Content component (#3), which contains the "More Content" content for the main part of the page. Alongside that is another quote (#4) created from a General Content component, which was the 4th component inserted into the the page. 

Please note that each time you insert an additional General Content component in the main part of the page (like #3), any right column content that follows that (like #4) will display in line with the top of the preceding component (#3). 

Please also note that you cannot force right column content to display at a different point in the column through coding. The only option for getting content to display at a certain point in the right column, is to break the content in the main column into separate components, and then insert all your components into the page in the proper order. 

You can stack multiple components in the right column, as seen in the sample page for the Internal General Content with Right Column page. Below is an example of that page, showing the number of components and in what order they were inserted into the page.

Create a headline and introduction for the page

The first thing to build for an Internal General Content with Right Column page is a General Content component with the headline and introductory text, highlighted in red in the example pictured, that you need to appear on the page. Below are the steps for creating this component:

1. In the 020 section, navigate to the folder where your content for this page will reside.
2. Create a new component and complete the following fields:
   1. Name: enter a name for the component here
   2. Schema: select General Content
   3. Title: enter the headline for your page here. 
   4. Content: enter the introductory text that will go at the top of your page. This is a rich-text field, so you can add other elements like images, links, etc.
3. Save and Close your component

(Optional) Create additional General Content components for main body content

If you want to have a right column item display anywhere other than at the top of the right column, you will need to break the content in the middle column into multiple General Content components as described in step 1. 

If you need to have additional components in the middle column of your page, please create them at this time using these instructions:

1. In the 020 section, navigate to the folder where the content for this page will reside.
2. Create a new component and complete the following fields:
   1. Name: enter a name for the component here
   2. Schema: select General Content
   3. Title: enter the headline for your content here. (This field is required, but displaying it on the finished page is optional.)
   4. Content: enter the text for your content here. This is a rich-text field, so you can add other elements like images, links, etc.
3. Save and Close your component

Repeat these steps as needed for each additional General Content component you need to make.

Create components for the right column

In the right column, you can insert quotes. Follow the instructions below to create a quote component.

1. In the 020 section, navigate to the folder where the content for this page will reside.
2. Create a new component and complete the following fields:
   1. Name: enter a name for the component here
   2. Schema: select General Content
   3. Title: this field is required, but nothing will display on the page. Enter whatever you wish here.
   4. Content: enter the text for your quote here. This is a rich-text field, so you can add elements like italics, links, etc.
3. Save and Close your component

Create the Internal General Content with Right Column page

1. In the 050 section, navigate to (or create) the structure group where the Internal General Content with Right Column page will reside.
2. Create a new page.
3. Fill in the Name, File Name, Page Display Name, Dublin Core Title, and Dublin Core Description fields.
4. For the Page Template field, uncheck "Inherit from Parent." Then, in the drop-down menu for the field, select Internal General Content with Right Column.
5. Click the Design tab.
6. Click the Add button:
   1. Navigate to the General Content component you created in step 2, select it, apply the Page Introduction component template, and insert it into the page.
   2. For the next few items, you will need to insert them in the order necessary to achieve your desired layout, as described in Step 1:
      1. Navigate to any additional General Content components you created in step 3, select them, and apply either the General Content or General Content - no title component templates, and insert it into the page.
         
         

         Tip: the General Content component template will display a title above the text of the component, whereas the General Content - no title will not.

      2. Navigate to any Quote components you created in step 4, select all of them, apply either the Callout Box Quote or Callout Box Sidebar Content component template, and insert them into the page.
         
         

         Tip: the Callout Box Quote displays as a larger quote with a dark gray line above and beneath the quote. The Callout Box Sidebar Content displays as a quote with a gray bubble around it. See the sample page for examples of each type.

      Tip: Rearrange your components as described in Step 1 in order to achieve your desired page layout.

7. Close the Insert Component Presentation pop-up window.
8. Save and Close your Internal General Content with Right Column page.

Publish the Internal General Content with Right Column page

When you've completed all the steps above, then all you need to do next is publish your page.

Navigate to the page you built in step 5, right-click on it and select Publishing > Publish.

Select the site you wish to publish to and click Publish. This will send the page to the publishing queue. 

You will need to republish the navigation after publishing a new page.
