Site Notes

Why are the Banner Images and Search Form added as Sections on each page?

Some Core pages were designed to not include the Search Form. We could have done this at the Theme Level with Razor, however that would have depended on the CPs being able to leverage the “Banner” feature in Admin. However the CP Banners were designed with too many text elements to use this. Since the CP Banners were going to have to be added as a Section on the page to accommodate all of the text elements, that meant the Search Form was going to have to be added as a Section on the page as well in order to position it below the Banner.

Additional Note: Since we can’t add Sections to an Error page, the Search Form for the Error pages is added at the Theme level in a Partial that’s being shown conditionally via Razor.

Why are so many of the Headlines hard-coded instead of using the “Display Headline” input field in Admin?

Because of the "Bold Text Italic Text" styling that occurs within the same sentence of some Headlines, that meant a single input field in Admin was not going to work. Because of this, Headline Elements that are styled in this way are hard-coded at either the Page / Section / or Module level.

Where to find all of the hard-coded text and their translations?

Does this client use Radancy Job Alerts?

Originally this site was implemented with Radancy Job Alerts, however the client has since decided to use an external CRM. The following elements have been implemented, tested, and are no longer being used, but still exist on the site in case this situation changes in the future:

• On-page Job Alert Form. Section Name: "Form - (Section 9a)"
• Modal Window Job Alert Form. Originally added to Theme Partial "BottomBody". Section Name: "Form - (Section 9b)"
• Job Alert Management Page
• Job Alert Verify Page
• Job Alert Unsubscribe Page
• Custom Job Alert Emails
