Link Lists

You will use this module in place of our Combolist component within Toolbox 1, and will be used for lists of links or documents. (Any paragraph text in a sidebar will go directly on the page, and not in this module.) 

  1. In Toolbox 2, click on Modules then Add New Module.
    1. Name the module according to where you are placing it, so for example, “Registration - Sidebar Links.“ Leave the “Can Have Entities” box checked
    2. Create from a Links Template
    3. Click Add Module
    4. In the list of modules, click on the name of the module you just created, or on the Edit button on the right.

Click on the Configuration tab to make sure you have all of the fields you will need. You should have Display Value (Text), Document (File), Target (Text), and URL (Text). 

Once you’ve made sure you have the correct fields, click on the Entities tab and start adding the items you need in the list. 

In order to sort the list in a specific way, use the Default Sort Order in the Module Controls box to the top right. You will more than likely want to sort them in alphabetical order of the Display Value, but if you have a specific order you need them in, you can always add an additional configuration field for “Sort” and manually sort them that way.  

Once you’ve added all of your entities and have specified the way you would like them sorted, the component is ready to add to a page.

Special Notes

When adding a document in the component code, use the format below. A document is a complex object, so we need to drill down to exactly what we want to pull up since the pom command won’t know exactly what we want.
