Add a banner as a fixed list

You can add a banner based on a list of items you have compiled yourself.

For example, you can place the most important information you want to share with the visitors to the website in a list on the home page so that each visitor sees it.

  28. If required, select the Group in which you want to display the banner. You can choose from:
    • Banner menu level 2

      The linked image appears in the left column of the page.

    • Directly to

      The text of the reference appears as a link in the right column of the page.

    • Related site

      You use a related site, for example, if you have a website in a number of languages. The link is then displayed at the top right of the page.

    • Main banner

      The image is displayed in the banner at the top of the page. For both Banner menu level 2 and Main banner, you are obliged to link an image; otherwise, nothing is displayed. If you have entered a 'Text banner' in the properties of the page then it is displayed with the original text. The same applies for the original image.

  29. Specify the height of the banner.

    You can choose from:

    • Fixed height: you enter the height of the banner yourself in pixels. If an item does not fit in this fixed height, it is not displayed. If nothing is displayed, then change the fixed height. If you use less space than the specified height, the remaining space is filled with white space. This allows you to display multiple items next to each other which are not of the same height.
    • Full content: here you specify that you want to display all the items that are available from the source. The height is determined on the basis of the items so that all items will fit.
    • Justify: the height is determined by the available space in the column. You can only choose this for banners you include independently in a page. For banners in a custom layout, you cannot choose this option because it is not possible to determine the available space. A banner that has been set to Justify, uses all the available space in the column. The height of the column is determined by other parts that appear in the same line. This is useful, for example if the banner is placed on a line with other columns that have parts with a variable height. The height of the banner is then determined by the other part.
  30. Enter any margins.
  31. Select the Language restriction check box if you only want the banner to be displayed on a site in a particular language.
  32. Click on: Modify.
  33. Click on: Publish.
  34. Click on Yes in the message.
