Components
Components are a form-based type of reusable content that simplify entering information to generate complex HTML layouts and design elements that are optimized for the NSU website. A component on a page prompts you to enter information and adds source code to format and display the information on the page. Upon saving or publishing it will then generate HTML code for complex design elements.
- Components cannot be placed inside of other components.
- Components can be placed inside of snippets.
- If you have a new type of component you would like to see added, email webcommunications@nsuok.edu with your idea. If it is useful for the rest of campus, it may be added.
