Leveraging the powerful design options available with Rich Links.

With the pre-formatted advance styling of Rich Links, content details are "pushed" to a page from another linked page. (This can greatly enhance the user experience, adding contextual information where it's needed, without weighing a page down unnecessarily.)

 When a Rich Link is displayed on a page, Theme Press looks for the following information from the linked page:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Image
  • Space name
  • Space icon

Creating a Block to Manage Rich Link Content

For tight control over rich link content display, it's advantageous to create a first block on the destination page that is hidden and will be used ONLY for a rich link, but will otherwise be invisible to users. In addition to the Meta Properties check box being selected for the block, also set the Initial Display to collapse.

If there is no block with Meta Properties selected, the content will be found according to the following scheme:

  • The first image found in the attachments list with the label "rich-link"
  • The first image found in the first excerpt macro
  • The first background image from a page attachment found on a content-layer on the page (checks the container, then the layer)
  • The first background image from a page attachment found on a content-block on the page
  • The first image found embedded on the page
  • The first image found in the attachments list
  • The text from the first heading, checking the higher-level headings first
  • The page title
  • The text from any paragraphs in the Excerpt macro on the page
  • The text from any paragraphs in the first Content Block on the page
  • The text from any paragraphs in the page body, truncated to 255 characters

If using:

  1. Replace me with something to note about this how-to entry that falls outside the scope of all other sections; and
  2. Add the tight-bottom class to the Steps block above to narrow the gap between the two blocks.

  • Replace me with a link

  • Aim for 4 or fewer related links.  If we need more, that's okay.  Be judicious.  Delete me when you're done.
