Tips
- Aside blocks are meant to be used with a very small amount of copy. (~100 characters or fewer)
- Asides should be used sparingly in a single article.
- Use 3 asides max in one article.
- Photos/icons should be square. This component will crop images to a square or circle, depending on which layout is selected.
- If using more than one aside, they should be separated by at least one paragraph.
Avoid this:
...
- Any square image, typically 266x266px
- Note that for the Image - Person option, the component will add a circle crop.
Implementation
Anatomy / ACF Fields
When using the Aside, in most cases you don't want to use all the fields at the same time, as the content will get too long.
Type: Image Icon or Image Person
The only difference between Icon and Person is that the Image - Icon Type adds the yellow bars to the top and bottom.
- Placement: Left or Right. Choose whether the aside is on the left on right side of the article.
- Visual (optional) - the photo for the aside. Note that the photo will automatically be cropped to a circle.
- Headline (optional)
- Subtitle (optional)
- Copy (optional)
Type: Ranking
This is a mini version of the Rankings block.
- Placement: Left or Right. Choose whether the aside is on the left on right side of the article.
- Number Prefix
- Number
- Number Suffix
- Number Color
- Rankings Style - Standard or Circle. Circle should only be used for percentages
- Statistic
- Source
Dev Notes
Please note that in the ACF field under Type, you will see statistic : Image - Icon, as it use to read statistic : Image - Statistic. I'm unable to change the first statistic as it will remove all the fields in the block in the editor. Also, In the SCSS file, Image - Icon field will be called callout-statistic.
