Partners Linked 

Where the partners come from 

Every page except folders and the recycler has a tab Partnership with the field Partnerships. Each partnership names a Partner, a page of the page type Academic partner, and optionally a Role, a record kept in a storage folder. The editor orders the partnerships by dragging them in the page form.

The content element shows the partnerships of the page it is stored on, in that order. Put it on the page that carries the partnerships. A content element shown on another page, through a Insert records element for example, still shows the partnerships of its own page. A hidden partnership is not shown.

Each partnership renders once in the language of the page, as its translation where it has one, see Important: Each partnership renders once per language.

What it renders 

A partner is rendered as in the Partner List: the name linked to the partner page, the categories and the first image of the partner page.

• While at least one partnership of the page has a role, the element renders one group per role, in the order in which the roles first occur among the partnerships. The name of the role is the heading of its group, and the partners of the role follow it.
• The partners of the partnerships without a role follow the role groups, in one list without a heading, in the order of the partnerships. A page can therefore give a role to some of its partnerships only. A partnership whose role is hidden or deleted counts as one without a role. To take a partnership off the page, hide the partnership, not its role.
• While no partnership has a role, the element renders the partners in one list without a heading.

The role headings take their level from the header layout of the content element, the names of the partners in a role group are one level further down. The names of the partners without a role keep the level of the role headings, as in the list without roles, so they do not read as part of the last group. Up to version 2.3 the partnerships without a role were left out as soon as one partnership of the page had a role, see Important: Partnerships without a role are listed too.

The partnerships list and teaser describes the markup. The element is cached with the page. Saving the partnerships in the form of their page clears the cache of that page.

Settings 

The content element has no options of its own: it has no FlexForm and no Configuration tab. What it shows is decided by the partnerships of its page. The header switch of The header of the content elements applies to it as to every content element of this extension.
