About this content type

The PSS-Core-Panel-Links content type allows you to place boxes of links onto the page. These can either be links to other pages/sites, or instead they can be styled as a download box. If the latter, the content type attempts to use the appropriate icon to represent the type of each file (PDF, Word etc.)

Links are constructed in the content type using a bullet list, with each item being a link to the desired page or resource. The content type automatically converts the bullet points to the appropriate icons. Short supplimentary descriptions can be given after the link as well.

Coding it up

Link boxes are produced by using a bulleted list of links in SiteManager. The example list on the right is build using the following HTML:
