This snippet is used to embed charts on your page from Google Sheets. You can select from various chart types and include a chart title and axis titles. For accessibility compliance, Google includes a table that is read/visible only to assistive technology. For this reason, you must use specific formatting or layouts in your data sheet.
Interactive images, where the user can move around in the image to view the scene from every angle, 360 photos are becoming more widespread and easier to create. You can embed them on your Modern Campus CMS website in the upper page image or within the body content.
This snippet is used to list one person on a page with different format options. A Personnel Information item for the individual must already exist within the website being edited.
Have you ever pasted content into the CMS, and it just doesn’t look right? You’re probably carrying old formatting code into the new CMS. Common culprits are copying from a Word document, copying text from one browser and pasting it into another, or copying text that was formatted in-line (using <span> and <style> tags directly in the code instead of letting the preformatted stylesheets do the work.)
Adding content with this type of formatting is bad for a couple of reasons:
- It doesn’t let your page update with the rest of the CMS. We may decide to change the font size or style to make the site more accessible or to keep up with modern design trends. By using the standard heading (<h1>, <h2>, etc) and paragraph (<p>) tags, your content will be ready to shift in an instant. If you leave hard-coded styles in the page, your look won’t automatically change.
- It can look strange on different devices. Everything on our new template is designed to expand and contract with the user’s screen size. Hard-coded styles may not change in the right way between desktop and mobile.
- It’s annoying for you, the CMS user. Sometimes you’ll have lines and lines of needless code – annoying when you’re trying to find one or two words in pages of <span>s and <color>s. For example, look at the coding on the links below—the <u> and <span> tags make for messy code on the back and and ugly links on the front end.
