Style Guide Code Snippets
When trying to include the following content into your side, please use the following guide to assist you with structuring and styling content on a page within the AODA Drupal Theme. Many of the recommended code snippets are from the Bootstrap Framework. Visit Bootstrap CSS for a full list of CSS classes. Please note that a majority of the following information requires a high level of technical understanding and general knowledge of web development.
The following code snippets demonstrate the style classes you would use to style a button or a link so that it looks like a button. You can control the colour and size of each button. 
If clicking the button causes the user to go to a different page, use a link.
<a href="#" class="btn btn-default">Link styled as a button</a>
If clicking the button triggers a change on the page (but does not go to a different page), use a button.
<button class="btn btn-default">Button that causes a change on the current page</button>

The following code snippets demonstrates a button toggle that will show or hide the section of text below it. Replace 'uniqueNameForControl' with a unique name for the code snippet. Every time you use this snippet on a page, you will need to provide a different 'uniqueNameForControl' for that particular code snippet (eg. uniqueName1, uniqueName2, uniqueName3, etc.).
<h2><button aria-controls="uniqueNameForControl" aria-expanded="false" class="btn btn-primary" data-target="#uniqueNameForControl" data-toggle="collapse" type="button">More Info about Expandable Section</button></h2>
<div aria-expanded="false" class="collapse" id="uniqueNameForControl" role="region">
<p>Content that will be shown or hidden using the button</p>
</div>
<h2><button aria-controls="uniqueNameForControl2" aria-expanded="false" class="btn btn-primary" data-target="#uniqueNameForControl2" data-toggle="collapse" type="button">More Info about Expandable Section</button></h2>
<div aria-expanded="false" class="collapse" id="uniqueNameForControl2" role="region">
<p>Content that will be shown or hidden using the button</p>
</div>

Avoid using
<center> to center images on the page. Instead, use the "center-block" class.<img src="..." class="img-responsive center-block" alt="Descriptive alt text" />
Use the "pull-left" or "pull-right" classes to float images left or right.
<img src="..." class="img-responsive pull-left" alt="Descriptive alt text" />
<img src="..." class="img-responsive pull-right" alt="Descriptive alt text" />
To clear a float, you can put a "clearfix" class on the parent element.
<div class="clearfix"><img src="..." class="img-responsive pull-right" alt="Descriptive alt text" /></div>
Use the following code to add a formatted caption to your image
<figure class="thumbnail">
<img alt="" class="img-responsive img-rounded" src="/src/for/your/image" />
<figcaption class="caption">Your caption text here</figcaption>
</figure>
Note: the
img-rounded class is optional. The code above will provide the following effect:

By default, the border expands to fill available width in the area where the image has been placed. If you don't want that much white space on either side, you can either use a larger image or apply the
pull-left or pull-right class to figure like so:<figure class="thumbnail pull-right">This will give you the following effect instead:

The following code snippet demonstrates the method you would use to create a linked image with a clickable colour overlay. This overlay also features a caption when hovered over.
Make sure that the Text Format is switched to Full HTML rather than the default Filtered HTML.
<div class="img-overlay ug-gold">
<a href="/your/link/here">
<img alt="Your text here. If it's identical to your caption text, you can leave the alt text empty" src="/your/image/here.jpg" />
<span class="overlay-caption h3">Your caption text here</span></a>
</div>
The defualt overlay colour is black. To change this colour, input
div class="img-overlay ug-gold"in place of div class="img-overlay" Colour options include: ug-gold ug red ug blueIf your desired alt text is the same as your caption text, you can choose to leave the alt text empty. Otherwise, alt text is required If your image was uploaded with text overlaying the image, alt text is also required.
You can create a similar image overlay - but with additional text. This overlay will have a heading caption along the top of the image and a second, smaller caption along the bottom.
This can be done with any of the aforementioned colours.
<div class="img-overlay ug-red">
<a href="/your/link/here">
<img alt="Your alt text here. If it's identical to your caption text, you can leave the alt text empty" src="/your/image/here.jpg" />
<span class="overlay-caption h3">Your caption text here</span>
<span class="overlay-text">Your extra text here</span>
</a>
</div>

This code snippet demonstrates the method you would use to create a listing of content with a left-aligned image with text.
<div class="media-listing-page">
<article class="row media">
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="media-thumbnail"><img alt="" class="img-responsive img-rounded" src="image link"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-8">
<header class="media-header">
<h2 class="media-heading">heading</h2>
</header>
<div class="media-summary">
<p>paragraph text</p>
</div>
</div>
</article>
</div>
- Add more
<article class='row media'>tags to add new content - Only need a single "media-listing-page" tag around all article tags
- You may need to use "Full HTML" mode before entering this HTML code. Note that only site managers have access to this mode.

Start with content that has a heading, e.g.
<h2>Section Title</h2>
<p>Section text here</p>
<p>More text here</p>
To make the section collapsible, it needs to be wrapped in
div tags like this:<div>
<p>Section text here</p>
<p>More text here</p>
</div>
After you've put the content in a div, give that div the class name
collapse and a unique ID:<div class="collapse" id="uniqueID">
<p>Section text here</p>
<p>More text here</p>
</div>
Now turn your section title into a link with the following code:
<h2><a href="#uniqueName" class="collapsed" data-toggle="collapse">Section Title</a></h2>
Note that
href has to equal the unique ID of the div. This is so the link, when clicked, knows which div it's supposed to expand or collapse. So if you want multiple divs on the page that can be expanded or collapsed, each one must have a unique ID.Note: If you want a section to be expanded by default when a page loads instead of hidden/collapsed, rewrite the link heading code as follows:
<h2><a href="#uniqueName" data-toggle="collapse">Section title here</a></h2>
That is, remove the code
class=collapsed (when you include class=collapsed, it makes the link show up with a "Plus" icon to indicate the content can be expanded. This "Plus" icon changes to a "Minus" when the content is expanded). You also need to change the section's div code from:<div class="collapse">
to:
<div class="collapse in">
<h2><a href="#sec0" data-toggle="collapse">This section expanded by default</a></h2>
<div class="collapse in" id="sec0">

<h2><a href="#sec1" class="collapsed" data-toggle="collapse">Section One</a></h2>
<div class="collapse" id="sec1">

<h2><a href="#sec2" class="collapsed" data-toggle="collapse">Section Two</a></h2>
<div class="collapse" id="sec2">

</div>
<h2><a href="#sec3" class="collapsed" data-toggle="collapse">Section Three</a></h2>
<div class="collapse" id="sec3">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet clita kasd gubergren, no sea takimata sanctus est Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. </p>
</div>
If you'd like to add a button that toggles multiple sections at the same time, you need to add one more class to each
div. For this example, we'll call the class collapse-all though you can use whatever name you prefer:<h2><a href="#section1" class="collapsed" data-toggle="collapse">Section 1 title here</a></h2>
<div class="collapse collapse-all" id="section1">
<p>Section 1 text here</p>
</div>
<h2><a href="#section2" class="collapsed" data-toggle="collapse">Section 2 title here</a></h2>
<div class="collapse collapse-all" id="section2">
<p>Section 2 text here</p>
</div>
<h2><a href="#section3" class="collapsed" data-toggle="collapse">Section 3 title here</a></h2>
<div class="collapse collapse-all" id="section3">
<p>Section 3 text here</p>
</div>
The code for the button would look like this:
<button aria-controls="section1 section2 section3" aria-expanded="false" class="btn btn-primary" data-target=".collapse-all" data-toggle="collapse" type="button">Your button text here</button>
For
aria-controls, list all the div IDs you want the button to control. For data-target, use the class collapse-all (or whatever name you chose - it just needs to be the same for each div). So the complete code would look something like this:<button aria-controls="section1 section2 section3" aria-expanded="false" class="btn btn-primary" data-target=".collapse-all" data-toggle="collapse" type="button">Your button text here</button>
<h2><a href="#section1" class="collapsed" data-toggle="collapse">Section 1 title here</a></h2>
<div class="collapse collapse-all" id="section1">
<p>Section 1 text here</p>
</div>
<h2><a href="#section2" class="collapsed" data-toggle="collapse">Section 2 title here</a></h2>
