Custom Views

The Panacea theme includes custom "Views" to render content on the homepage. Below is a description of the views and how to install and customize them.

Hero Space View

The "Hero Space" view is a custom view to pull specific content to the hero space area. This view pulls a featured article from the "Rotator" term in the taxonomy. The view can be customized as needed to pull from different taxonomies.

Setting Up Hero Space Feature

(make sure the VIEWS module is installed and enabled)

• Go to the Views admin and import the "View" included with this theme (hero_view.txt). This will create a new view to gather the info from the articles you create.
• Using the CCK module, create a custom field type "field_hero_text". This custom field will then show up on each page/story that you create.
• For each page that you want to display the Hero Space, simply go to the EDIT PAGE admin space
• Then add your text to the HERO SPACE field you just added in the CCK Module
• Using the File Upload function when creating an article, upload the large image you want on the homepage. (the uploaded image is required to activate the hero space for any page)
• You can also change the background of the hero space for each page.
• Just create another custom field (field_bg_img) and enter the filename of the image you want to use.
