CUSTOMIZE/IMPLEMENT ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
You can replace the hh-header and hh-footer blocks with your own via the Template (_cms/templates).
You can update the head-files and bottom-scripts block with your global CSS/JS files references (_cms/blocks).
The only references required in the head-file block for the News/Blog to function properly are:
Bootstrap
Font Awesome
News/Blog CSS
There are NO references required in the bottom-scripts block for the News/Blog to function properly.
If your current website is already using a required reference, you should be able to use it and not include the reference included with module.
To customize your share widget/tool:
- Go to www.addthis.com/dashboard to customize your tools
- Copy the code snippet
- Replace the current AddThis script with the script you just copied
To remove zoom effect on images:
- Remove transform:scale styles for .post-img:hover>img in style.css
CHANGELOG :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
v1.0.3
The News/Blog frontend has been updated for optimization and customization purposes. It’s also been tested and updated for accessibility using the WAVE Accessibility Tool and now meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AA standards.
Accessibility Notes:
The Twitter link in the Social Media widget is reporting a low contrast issue but it's using Twitter's blue and white font. We rather not use images when we can use Font Awesome icons.
There are multiple errors and alerts on the single post link, they are caused by the AddThis widget. We reached out to AddThis and they said they are working on a fix.
Changes:
Adjusted HTML for button in Contact Us block so that hover works on the button, not just the link
Removed current post for related posts sidebar
Cleaned up and removed unnecessary CSS/JS/Fonts
Updated CSS/JS/Fonts from local files to CDN hosted where possible
Updated HTML to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AA standards
Implemented our Exchange Module Styles system for easier customization
