Program Block on School Page (Right Sidebar) #161

Closed ucem closed 7 years ago

ucem commented 7 years ago

I'm in the Sandbox site and I know there is a View (Program Content), but when you click on the gear in the program block on school page, the only option is to Configure the block.

I tried moving that block to content as on some schools that have a lot of programs, there is a large white space in the content block. Of course when I did that, the programs were listed in one long list. I had also cloned, but have since deleted, the "block display" to play with and list the programs in 2 or 3 columns, but I couldn't get the programs associated with the school in the list.

Can you tell me how to do that? thanks!

This block does not come from a view, but from a module (side_school_programs). The reason is, probably, that it was not so easy to configure a view where the programs would be listed by category. The question is: how to display the block in the content area in 2 or 3 columns instead of having it in the left sidebar. Is that correct?

ucem commented 7 years ago

Yes, that is correct.

The other thing I'm toiling with, is whether we want/need it list by category, or just alphabetical.

ehodul commented 7 years ago

It seems to be useful to have it displayed by category as people who are searching do not need to know the exact program name.

How much time would it take to create the same module (displayed as it currently is) but with 2 or 3 columns.

ehodul commented 7 years ago

To add another block to the module to display data in 2 columns would take roughly 2 hours (or less) for development, styling and testing.

Ok, we'll hold off on it for now. Thanks.

We'd like to move forward with this as soon as you can get it on your schedule. Thanks!

I will work on this next week.

I created a new block: "Programs Offered - categorized, displayed in 2 columns" you can place it on school page (specify pages in 'Show block on specific pages' settings). Please let me know if this works as expected.

ucem commented 7 years ago

I placed it on the programs page and that's what I was looking for! Can we force better spacing between the categories? Its good between the Art and Design programs and Business, but is too close together between the end of the business programs and the next Category Titles. screen shot 2017-01-16 at 11 24 19 am
