Modules from other page types

This section of the style guide details the reusable modules and HTML element styles used on the section index, events, and news page types. The modules are illustrated with screenshots at Desktop size. To find out further styling details about any of these modules you can right click on the relevant section of the page in Firefox, Safari or Chrome to 'inspect element'.

Section index page primary highlight

The section index page primary highlight is similar to the 'main image, header and breadcrumb' module, in that it may be a carousel if more than one image is added. Unlike this module, it sits below the page header and introduction. Images used here should have good contrast and saturation and be closely cropped on the subject area for better impact. Avoid the use of stock imagery and use photos of real people associated with the University where possible.

The 'img' element (whether part of a carousel or a single item) is set to 100% width, with height 'auto' so that it maintains its proportions. The surrounding 'div' element with class '.field-name-field-section-primary' is set to position relative, which allows the linked text below to be absolutely positioned over the image. This div in turn is set within an 'a' tag linking to the promoted page.

The link text consists of an 'h2' element and a 'div' element with class '.field-name-field-intro', both wrapped in an 'a' tag with class 'field-group-group_link_wrapper'. The padding on the 'a' tag is set to 3% left and right, and 1.5em at the top. It is absolutely positioned with the bottom value set to '0'.

The 'h2' is set to display inline, and has a font-size of 3.125em (equates to 50px). It has a right-aligned background image to create the arrow which can be found here: http://www.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/themes/custom/oxweb/images/highlight-chevron.png. Its right padding is set to 0.6em in order to create space for the arrow. Its default colour is #333333 but when the surrounding div is hovered it changes to red (#C7302B).

The font size for the intro text below is set to 1.313em (equates to 21px).
