main-menu

The main menu position supports up to 3 levels (top level, sub-level and sub-sub-level), the header menu type is also supported on the sub-level position.

social-menu

The social menu position supports only one level and should contain your social network and feed links only.

The bootstrap icon set already provides the most basic networks.

This is the preferred way to generate the footer menu, the following 2 positions are used as fallback, when footer-menu contains no items or does not exist.

footer-menu-1 (DEPRECATED)

The footer-menu-1 position is - together with footer-menu-2, the old way to create the 2-box header-menu-list styled navigation on bottom of the website. The used header label is the menu name itself. You should consider using the new footer-menu position instead, which also supports up to 3 side-by-side shown menu-link-lists.

Template Page Builder & Content Elements

Version 1.2.0 of the NewsHub OctoberCMS template introduces the new Page Builder, which is available on RainLab's Pages plugin by selecting the Page Builder page layout. The following components are available:

Accordion

Create a new Bootstrap native accordion container with as much accordion items as you wish. This content element supports all available Bootstrap settings (flush design, always open) and extends them with an alternative icon (Plus / Minus), a left-aligned icon, no icon and the additional style "clean", which takes "flush" on a whole new level.

Available Options

The following options are available on this content element:

Name

A name for this content element, which is only visible on the backend for the builder menu (which makes the management on many content elements easier).

ID

Allows to set a unique ID attribute to the main HTML element on this component. Attention: You need to make sure that all used IDs of all components used on the same page are unique yourself, using the same ID twice or more lreads to an invalid HTML document.

Class Names

This input field allows you to add additional class names to the main HTML element of this component. Using own class names allows you to add custom stylings or apply the available class names from bootstrap.

Accordion Style

Allows to set the main accordion style to default, flush or clean. The first both are directly provided by Bootstrap, the third one is a custom styling done by NewsHub. The difference between flush and clean are the following CSS properties:

  • Flush removes the main border and border-radius
  • Clean removes all borders, border-radius, padding, background and box-shadow colors

Clean can be used for a "list-styled" accordion and FAQs.

Accordion Icons

Allows to change the default Chevron icon to Plus / Minus or to remove the icon completely.

Always Open

Allows to enable the "always open" / "stay open" behaviour, which keeps the accordion items open when another item is clicked. This function is comes directly from bootstrap.

Left-Aligned Icons

Allows to change the icon position from right to left (before the accordion title). Of course, this option has no effect when the accordion icon itself is disabled.

Children

Here you can declare as many accordion items as you would like. An accordion icon provides the following options:

  • Start Open, shows this item pre-opened. Keep in mind, that you need to enable the "Always Open" option on the accordion itself if you want to pre-open multiple accordion items. Otherwise just the first "Start Open" checked accordion item will be shown.
  • Accordion Title, the main title used to open the accordion body.
  • Accordion Type, allows to change the content editor within the accordion item. You can either use Plain Text, Markdown, Rich Text (default) or HTML Code.
  • Accordion Content, the main accordion content editor, as set on "Accordion Type".

Alert

Create a new Bootstrap native alert message in all available colors provided by Bootstraps default color palette (which can also be configured on the template settings). You can also enable and use NewsHub's additional Callout design here, which works exactly the same way as the alert boxes, but look quite better (in our opinion).

Title

The main title, which can be used or hidden on the front-end alert box. The title of the alert box uses the default sans serif font instead of the template-specific heading font, since it looks quite better.

Layout

Allows to change the used alert title layout or hide them completely on the front-end, which is the default settings. However, next to them you can choose any <h*> tag as well as the default option, which uses a DIV-container with the .h4 class - next to a few others.

ID

Allows to set a unique ID attribute to the main HTML element on this component. Attention: You need to make sure that all used IDs of all components used on the same page are unique yourself, using the same ID twice or more lreads to an invalid HTML document.

Class Names

This input field allows you to add additional class names to the main HTML element of this component. Using own class names allows you to add custom stylings or apply the available class names from bootstrap.

Alert Color

Allows to set the desired alert color, you can use all available colors from Bootstrap's palette: Primary, Secondary, Success, Danger, Warning, Info, Light and Dark.

Use Callout Style

This option allows you to override Bootstrap's ugly alert design and use NewsHub's callout stylings instead. It can be used in the same way as the alert box, just looks quite better.

Alert Content

The main content shown in the alert box, this field supports the markdown syntax.

Card

Create a new Bootstrap native card content container. This content element does also provide the "Simple Style" design option, which is the default Card design used by NewsHub.

Available Options

The following options are available on this content element:

Title

The main card title, used on the front-end.

Layout

Allows to change the used card title layout or hide them completely on the front-end, which is the default settings. However, next to them you can choose any <h*> tag as well as the default option, which uses a DIV-container with the .h5 class - next to a few others.

The secondary card subtitle, used on the front-end.

Class Names

This input field allows you to add additional class names to the main HTML element of this component. Using own class names allows you to add custom stylings or apply the available class names from bootstrap.

Use simple style

The simple styled card design is especially designed for the NewsHub template. Using this option will hide the available "Card Colors", as described below.

Card size

This option allows to set a default width of the respective card, you can either use none, sm, md, lg and 100%. The first option will set no width at all, sm, md, lg provide the sizes 16rem, 24rem and 32rem respectively. The last option just sets the width to 100%.

Card Colors

This option allows to set the background color of the respective card, using Bootstrap v5.2 text-bg- classes. You can use all available colors from Bootstraps color palette. However, this option is NOT available on the simple styled card system at the moment.
