Design
Card with full-width or circle headshot images that can open into a modal for more information. There are options for 1, 2, or 3 columns.
There is an open modal button on the lower right corner of the cards that can be a stretch link. There are two modal close buttons in the modal popups (upper right corner and bottom right corner).
| Examples of full-width and headshot modal cards and 1, 2, 3 columns | |
|---|---|
|
|
|  |
Default Modal style. The header will be 50/50 for desktop and tablet, and full-width for mobile.
| Modal for circle crop headshot. The layout will be the same in desktop, tablet, and mobile.
|
Modal with full-width image. Text overlaps image, with a dark gradient for contrast. Mobile/tablet sizes just have smaller text.

Use Cases
- For storytelling or when you want to share a lot of information in a modal. The card displays a small amount of copy and the modal shows more detail.
- Example: Student stories on BBA Careers page
Fields
Card
Limit the amount of copy in the cards, since more detail can be shown in the modal.
- Microtitle (optional) - Keep this short. Can be used as a microtitle or for person's name with parenthesis for graduation program and year
- Character limit: copy should fit on one line, so the limit depends on number of columns in the layout
- Use this field OR the card supporting copy field, especially for cards with full-width background images.
- This content will display in the modal header by default. Set the "Display card microtitle in modal header?" field to "no" if you want to hide it in the modal
- Title - This field should have content so the card has an html heading
- Character limit: 40 characters
- This content will display in the modal header. Add content to the "Modal Title Override" field to replace this content.
- Card Supporting Copy (optional) - Use sparingly. Only use when the title character limit is too restrictive
- Character limit: 70 characters
- Use this field OR the microtitle field, especially for cards with full-width background images.
- This content will not be displayed in the modal
- Card Image - you can use the standard image size of 2400x1600px for horizontal cards. You can use vertical images as well to make the cards vertical, but you will need to add a horizontal image to the modal image override field for the image to display correctly at the top of the modal.
- Crop image to circle? - use for square headshot images
Modal Popup
- Display card microtitle in modal header? - true/false, pulls Microtitle subfield from Card and displays in modal over title.
- Full width image? - makes image full width inside the modal instead of half width. Recommend use of Modal Image Override with this.
- Modal Title Override - can override the card title. This can have more characters, but it's still best practice to keep the title short.
- Supporting Details - WYSIWYG for job titles, company, or majors
- Modal Image Override - you can override the full width image used in the card section
- Modal Text - WYSIWYG for modal copy. You will need to use inline classes and HTML for styles.
- See code templates below
Configuration section
- Number of columns - you can select one, two, or three columns. Three columns is the default.
- Please note that headshot/circle crop style should only be used with two and three column layouts.
- Stretch link? - this will make the modal open when a user selects anywhere on the card. Checked is the default.
- Number of columns - you can select one, two, or three columns. Three columns is the default.
Introduction and Footer sections
- These are standard sections for many of our custom blocks.
Code Templates for Modal Content
Modal content is added in a WYSIWYG field, so you'll need to add HTML elements with classes for styling. Copy the code below for the content you need:
Modal with pullquote, horizontal rule <hr>, and microtitle styling for last subhead |
|---|
Microtitle styles for subheads (with yellow triangle)
These styles can be used on any heading level.
<h3 class="microtitle mb-3"><img class="microtitle-arrow" alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Two-toned-yellow-arrow-digital-100x164-1.png" width="9" height="15" aria-hidden="true" /> Subheading</h3>
Horizontal rule
<hr class="hr-gray my-5" />
Pull quote
Can adjust or remove "my-4" class if needed.
<figure class="wp-block-pullquote mx-0 my-4 text-start"> <p class="fs-5">add quote here</p> </figure>
Career Points (for T2L4)
Just add the "career-points" class to any ul to get this styling.
Name Title Company (for T2L4)
Where it says, img, just use the Add Media button and add whatever photo you like, making sure it's within the name-title-company div.
Don't skip the divider element! If you forget it, the image won't appear.

- Photos must be vertical. Recommended size: 700x1000px

- Image one and two must be horizontal, image three vertical.
- Image one and two size: 2400x1600px, smaller images with the same aspect ratio will also work, such as 512x341px or 1024x682px
