Links

Call to Action buttons for the Content Area

These are especially useful for widescreen pages but work on pages with menus too.

You should only use 1 of these per page.  If you use more, only the last one will stick to the bottom of the page on small screens.

Coloured Link Blocks

Sometimes you want rows of coloured blocks, maybe to contain for links.  This code allows you to easily change the number of columns and the colors of each block and link text.
At some point, we'll probably turn this into a content type, to make it even easier but for now, you can duplicate the 'coloured link blocks' content type from this page.

Colour options for the link are pink, red, orange, terracotta, green, dark green, teal, aquamarine, skylue, blue, dusk, indigo, purple, plum, silver, and grey.
These all have white links to ensure adequate contrast to meet WAI-AA accessibility standards.
Pastel colours have black text, namely: lightyellow, lightgreen, lightblue, babyblue, lightpurple, lightgrey

Examples of these colours are below. Show Hex Numbers

Scheduled links

You can schedule a link not to work until a certain date with some javascript (code available in this section).
Once this code is on your page, and approved, simpy add an external link but use this specially formatted link URL:

javascript:linkTo('http://www.universityofgalway.ie',yyyy,mm,dd,hr,mins);           (to make links open in a new tab)
or
javascript:linkTo('http://www.universityofgalway.ie',yyyy,mm,dd,hr,mins,'_self');        (to make links open in the same tab)

This prevents the link from being clickable until the specified date and time.
