Page structure v1

The Page structure v1 template has four main functions;

  • It includes code that makes our pages work, so every page of your site will require a Page structure v1 template.
  • It contains the option to choose whether a page is full width or two columns.
  • It determines the Heading of your page (also referred to as the Heading 1 or H1).
  • You can use it to add text to the main column of your page.

Using the Page structure v1 template to set up a new page

  1. After creating a new section in T4 add a Page structure v1 template
  2. Name: write 'Page header'
  3. Header: give your page a title, this should be the same as or related to the title of the section.
  4. Content: Add your rich text content here. If you want your page to have a different template immediately underneath the page header leave this blank.
  5. Make full width: By default the layout of a page has two columns. If you want a full width page check this box.
  6. Hide right hand sub nav' box: By default the right hand column will display any sub-pages in your navigation structure. If you don't have any sub-pages or you do not want them to appear then check this box. 
  7. Hide breadcrumb trail: By default every page has a visible breadcrumb trail. This should be kept on every page and only removed if the site is very small.
  8. Header and Footer fields: these can be used to insert custom code into the page.

Only one Page Structure v1 template should be used per page. To add extra text between other content (eg. accordions) please use the Page Text template

Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design, it’s decoration.
