Sidebar Example

Creating sidebars

To create a sidebar:

Most page layouts will support sidebars
Create a sub-section called 'Sidebar'
(Any sub-sections at the same level as this one will display the sidebar, unless they are configured not to)
Add content to the Sidebar section
Choose from these content types (examples in the sidebar of this page):
- Content (Rich Text)
- Content (no title)
- Sidebar Content box
- Video lightbox: YouTube sidebar
- 3D Content Panel

Inheritance

The parent section of the 'Sidebar' sub-section will display the sidebar.
Also, any section that is on the same level as the 'Sidebar' sub-section will also show that sidebar.
So, for example, if you add a sidebar to your home page, it will also appear on all your other pages (because they are also sub-sections of your home page, which puts them at the same level, on the site hierarchy, as your 'Sidebar' section).

Sidebar Manipulations:

Use the fullWidth DC:keyword to move the sidebar to the left (under the side nav)
Enter fullWidth noSidebar into the DC:Keyword Metatag to suppress the sidebar altogether

This is an example sidebar content box

It's a good idea to include 2 paragraphs to make sure T4 adds paragraph tags to the markup. This will turn the text inside the content box white.

You can select the colour of your Sidebar content boxes. Your options are:

You can try it out in here - simply click any of the above colours to see what they look like.

You can turn a sidebar content box into a call to action by specifying a section in site manager to link to.

This one links to itself, so it's ok to click it!

3D content panels

You can use full-width 3D content panels in a sidebar, if you prefer. Select full-width to ensure it takes up all the available space, set aside for the sidebar.
