The following sections detail what goes in to each specific article pattern.
At least one paragraph.
(See page heading component and context tab for config structure)
Must have at least one paragraph.
Other information as per the default options above
The news supplement allows content authors to tag related news stories to the original news article.
Highlight to the user additional news stories relevant to the subject matter. This saves them from having to search for related information and showcases the depth of knowledge of the subject matter within the University.
There is no limit to the number of cards, although we recommend a maximum of 3 cards within this pattern.
Cards can be passed through the configuration:
'widgets': [
{
'type': 'news-events',
'title': 'Related news',
'lead': '<p>This News and Events widget contains 8 cards. However, at certain screen sizes it will only display the first 6</p>',
'link': {
'url': '/news',
'text': 'View all news',
},
'cards': {
'image_layout': true,
'items': [
{
'image': {
'src': '/placeholders/banner/banner-01.jpg',
'alt': 'A super informative description'
},
'url': '#',
'title': 'Leeds signs up to tackle waste in fashion',
'date': '2021-05-07'
},
...
]
}
},
](See page heading component and context tab for config structure)
Further event information eg:
Must have at least one paragraph.
Other information as per the default options above
The events supplement allows content authors to promote additional upcoming events.
Highlight to the user additional upcoming events relevant to the subject matter. This saves them from having to search and showcases events within the University
Events are in chronological order from left to right, with the latest event shown first. There is no limit to the number of additional events that can be shown, although we recommend a maximum of 3 events within this pattern.
Events can be passed through the configuration:
'widgets': [
{
'type': 'events',
'title': 'Related events',
'link': {
'url': '/all-events-link',
'text': 'View all events',
},
'events': [
{
"title": "Creating climate-resilient agri-food systems in sub-Saharan Africa",
"link": "/some-event-link-6",
"start": "2022-07-25 11:00",
"end": "2022-08-25 16:30"
},
...
]
},
]The article highlight component appears on the left hand side of the blog pattern (above related content) for desktop views. When the view is reduced <1024 px, it is then required to appear at the end of the article main content and above any related content items.
In order to achieve this a specific class is added to the uol-article-highlight component containing class. This class is called ‘uol-content-switch-from-side-to-main’.
Javascript is utilised to move this element to the correct position dependent upon screen size.
Any other elements which are to be added and repositioned above need to have the same class added to their top level container.
The person insight variant of the article pattern follows a similar structure to other particle patterns, although mark up is slightly different - specifically the @uol-info-list is placed within the header (other patterns include this with the article content) in order to align content with designs.
@uol-profile-image - compulsory image with square dimensions at least 300px. Must be headshot of person. Note this image is cropped to a circle when choosing your square image.
@uol-info-list
For this pattern the info list component can contain any number of items (eg. course, year of graduation, nationality) but advised to be no more than four items.
@uol-page-heading - required. Including person name and person job title
@uol-profile-image - optional image with square dimensions at least 350px. Must be headshot of person. Note this image is cropped to a circle when choosing your square image.
@uol-info-list - facts about the person. Examples: areas of expertise, email address, location and websites.
@uol-article-section - sections relating to the user. This pattern differs from other article patterns, in that the main body of text is split up into different sections (section headings displayed alongside sections in this pattern). Each section has one title (H2). Other content can appear within these sections as per default content, note that inner content headings must start at H3 level.
Headings H3 - 6
Paragraph
Images - single and multiple
Videos - single and multiple

Lists (ordered and unordered)

<p>Hear from award-winning climate scientist, Dr Katharine Hayhoe, about how best to prepare for the risks posed by climate change, and how to translate climate science into actionable planning.</p>
<p>Increasingly, the impacts of climate change are never far from the headlines. Calls for climate action are getting steadily louder but global alignment is far from a reality.</p>
<p>How will climate change affect the places we call home, now and in the future? Against a backdrop of international (dis)agreement, how might local action contribute to broader transformational change? Join us to hear from award-winning climate scientist, Dr Katharine Hayhoe, who will discuss how best to prepare for the risks posed by climate change, and how to translate climate science into actionable planning for resilience at the local scale.</p>

<h2>The desire to change</h2>
<p>Professor Hayhoe was awarded the United Nation's highest environmental honour in 2019, declared a 'Champion of the Earth'. She has made it her life's mission to talk to people about climate change. But she says she's not so much trying to 'convert' people to the climate cause, as show them why they already care.</p>
<p>"By rejecting the narrative that climate change is a false, environmental, earth-worshipping religion, we were able to have a really constructive conversation that began with what we agreed on. We both believe in God. We both believe that God gave us the sound minds that we have. What do we see when we use that mind? That's the key."</p>
<p>"Even though most objections to climate change are couched in science-y sounding terms, if you have a conversation with anyone about this for longer than one minute, nine times out of ten it takes an abrupt right turn into, 'I don't want to … [fill in the blank'. I don't want a carbon tax. I don't want to destroy the economy. I don't want the government telling me what to do.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>99.9 per cent of our objects to climate change have nothing to do with the science. They have everything to do solution aversion.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>"99.9 per cent of our objects to climate change have nothing to do with the science. They have everything to do solution aversion. We think the only solutions are negative or punitive or harmful. So bonding over shared values, connecting to how climate change is affecting us here and now - today - and then inspiring with a solution that could actually make a difference - it could save us money; it could help poor people; it could lead to cleaner air; it could help us be better stewards of God's creation, and so on."</p>
<h2>About Katharine Hayhoe</h2>
<p>Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on understanding what climate change means for people and the places where we live. She is a professor at Texas Tech University, she hosts the PBS digital series Global Weirding, and she has been named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People and Fortune's 50 World's Greatest Leaders. She is also the namesake of a meeting room in the Priestley Centre!</p>

"content": "\n <p>Hear from award-winning climate scientist, Dr Katharine Hayhoe, about how best to prepare for the risks posed by climate change, and how to translate climate science into actionable planning.</p>\n\n <p>Increasingly, the impacts of climate change are never far from the headlines. Calls for climate action are getting steadily louder but global alignment is far from a reality.</p><p>How will climate change affect the places we call home, now and in the future? Against a backdrop of international (dis)agreement, how might local action contribute to broader transformational change? Join us to hear from award-winning climate scientist, Dr Katharine Hayhoe, who will discuss how best to prepare for the risks posed by climate change, and how to translate climate science into actionable planning for resilience at the local scale.</p>\n\n <iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/AjvkAkHZAzc\" title=\"YouTube video player - Studying abroad\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\n <h2>The desire to change</h2>\n\n <p>Professor Hayhoe was awarded the United Nation's highest environmental honour in 2019, declared a 'Champion of the Earth'. She has made it her life's mission to talk to people about climate change. But she says she's not so much trying to 'convert' people to the climate cause, as show them why they already care.</p>\n\n <p>\"By rejecting the narrative that climate change is a false, environmental, earth-worshipping religion, we were able to have a really constructive conversation that began with what we agreed on. We both believe in God. We both believe that God gave us the sound minds that we have. What do we see when we use that mind? That's the key.\"</p>\n\n <p>\"Even though most objections to climate change are couched in science-y sounding terms, if you have a conversation with anyone about this for longer than one minute, nine times out of ten it takes an abrupt right turn into, 'I don't want to … [fill in the blank'. I don't want a carbon tax. I don't want to destroy the economy. I don't want the government telling me what to do.</p>\n\n\n <blockquote>\n <p>99.9 per cent of our objects to climate change have nothing to do with the science. They have everything to do solution aversion.</p>\n </blockquote>\n\n <p>\"99.9 per cent of our objects to climate change have nothing to do with the science. They have everything to do solution aversion. We think the only solutions are negative or punitive or harmful. So bonding over shared values, connecting to how climate change is affecting us here and now - today - and then inspiring with a solution that could actually make a difference - it could save us money; it could help poor people; it could lead to cleaner air; it could help us be better stewards of God's creation, and so on.\"</p>\n\n <h2>About Katharine Hayhoe</h2>\n\n <p>Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on understanding what climate change means for people and the places where we live. She is a professor at Texas Tech University, she hosts the PBS digital series Global Weirding, and she has been named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People and Fortune's 50 World's Greatest Leaders. She is also the namesake of a meeting room in the Priestley Centre!</p>\n\n <div class=\"uol-in-text-cta\">\n <h2 class=\"uol-in-text-cta__heading\">\n <a class=\"uol-in-text-cta__link\" href=\"/\">Register to attend</a>\n </h2>\n <p class=\"uol-in-text-cta__text\">As this is an online event, please register so we can send you the link. </p>\n </div>"
