Grid Layouts in Cascade

Some HTML tips for creating grid layouts in Cascade.

Create a three-column grid with thumbnail and link text

<div class="grid3 fcm">
	<a href="">
           <img alt="" src="/render/file.act?path=/assets/images/photo.jpg" /> 
           Link text
        </a>
        <a href="">
           <img alt="" src="/render/file.act?path=/assets/images/photo.jpg" /> 
           Link text
        </a>
        <a href="">
           <img alt="" src="/render/file.act?path=/assets/images/photo.jpg" /> 
           Link text
        </a>
</div>

These classes grid2, grid3, grid4, grid5, grid6 can be used to set desired columns. The fcm class, which stands for First Child Margin, is required to reset the first child from the main CSS. The fcm class gives the first child the same margin as the rest of the children.

Use Span Classes

The grid2 class can be used for more flexibility. For example, let’s create a 3-column grid with one narrow column and a wide column:

<div class="grid3 fcm">
	<section></section>
        <section class="span2"></section>
</div>

These classes span2, span3, span4, span5 can be used to set desired span column.

Set Default Destination in Cascade

  1. Go to Manage Site > Destinations > (select a destination to edit) Edit >
  2. Scroll to the bottom, check/uncheck the Publish to this Destination by default option

      3. These steps have to be repeated for each destination in each site that needs to be updated.

How to Publish Sites in Cascade

  1. From the top right (hamburger) menu icon > Sites. You can select multiple sites to publish, however you cannot select which destinations to publish to, it will publish to all enabled and checked by default destinations. If you need to select the destinations, you can right click on the site name and select Publish. Then you will get a destination selection window.
  2. If you are in a site, you can publish it from Manage Site > More > Publish.
  3. If you are in a site in the Site Content area, you can publish the top level folder, either from the right click menu or navigate to the folder and use the publish button near the top right.
