Guidance

When a user sees the featured content section, they will see a title. They may also see an introduction sentence, an image and an image caption, a video (which will open in the gallery modal), along with some additional text, which may have formatting (paragraphs, bold, links, superscript, subscript, blockquote, cited blockquote).

The component also allows for multiple links (utilising the existing “uol-arrow-link”) to be added, a maximum of no more than twelve is advised.

Developer guidance

Multiple arrow links can be added to the featured content component, this can be done through the config (adding a title and url for each):

'widget_arrow_links': [
  {
    "title" : "Text link with arrow effect",
    "url" : "https://www.leeds.ac.uk" 
  },
  {
    "title" : "Text link with arrow effect",
    "url" : "https://www.leeds.ac.uk"
  },
];

A single video can be added through the config, passing a boolean value (‘videoPlayIcon’: true) will display the alternate video icon. Please see the example here:

{
  'widget_video': {
    'headingLevel': 2,
    'videoPlayIcon': true,
    'items': galleryVideos.slice(2, 3),
  },
  ...
},
{% extends '@uol-widget' %}

{% block widget_content %}
  {% render '@uol-image-featured--with-caption', { image_featured: widget_image } %}
  {% render '@uol-gallery--single-video-with-play-icon', { gallery: widget_video } %}

  <div class="uol-widget__content__text uol-rich-text">
