Responsive Tables

Tabular data is best displayed in HTML tables, but sometimes large tables do not fit on small screens making the table information unreadable. Suitcase Interim makes tables responsive so the layout of the tables adapt to small screens.

How?

When content creators add tables to their pages, news articles, or other types of content, Suitcase Interim automatically detects the table and makes it responsive.

How to create a table on your website


The next button in the top bar is the table creation button. This button allows you to create tables to organize data so that it is more readable for users. Here is where the table button is located:

Colors

Iowa State University has specific primary and secondary colors defined as part of the ISU brand standards. Essentially, these are the colors which may be used throughout the Suitcase theme.

Primary colors

#cc0000

Accessible Image Content

Per WCAG 2.0, non-text content should have a text-based alternative accessible to screen readers. Suitcase supports this standard by providing content creators with an "alternative text" (often abbreviated as alt text) field for adding image descriptions. Alt text should not be too long so that screen reader users are not inconvenienced.

Editing Content and Viewing Revisions

How to edit website content and view your revisions


In this tutorial, we will cover how to edit content. Sometimes, you will notice that your content has information that needs to be updated. Or perhaps you created an Announcement with a typo in the body text. Also, at the end of this tutorial, we will discuss how you can view revisions (if they are enabled on your Luggage site).

This tutorial uses the pages content type as an example, but each content type will have similar instructions.

Announcements

How to create an announcement for your website


In this tutorial, you will learn all about the announcement content type. The announcement content type is used to present information about events or department news for site visitors (e.g. highlighting a department's accomplishments by showing off new research or displaying faculty awards). Because of the announcement's banner function on the front page, an announcement is often the first thing a site visitor will see. Keep that in mind when creating content.

Clearing your Browser Cache

How to quickly clear your browser cache

Sometimes after updating a site you may be asked to clear your browser's cache or temporary files in order to see changes or to help diagnose an issue. This cache stores web pages, images, and other resources so that the next time you visit a page, instead of downloading it all again, it will just use what was previously downloaded. Sometimes these cached files can get out of date after a site is updated. In order to force the browser to download the new files from the server we need to clear its cache.
