Basic text

The basic text component is for inserting body content. This gives you the WYSIWIG (what you see is what you get) window, where you can:

  • format headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes and callouts
  • add links and buttons
  • insert images and other media.

Read our guides on using the basic text component on the Digital Victoria Help Centre.

Cards

There are several card options that can be used for different purposes.

Promotion cards

Promotion cards are portrait-style (vertical) cards to link to other pages. They're often used on homepages and landing pages to display the site's main sections or subpages but can also link to external websites.

The first example has a thumbnail image and the second has a profile image. They can also be used with no image.

A 'no image' promo card

This card has display style set in the CMS to 'No image' which on Ripple is called 'Standard'.

""

A 'thumbnail' promotion card

This card has display style set in the CMS to 'Thumbnail' which on Ripple is called 'Image full bleed'.

""

A 'profile' promotion card

This card has display style set in the CMS to 'Profile' which on Ripple is called 'Avatar'.

A 'highlight' promo card

This card has display style set in the CMS to 'Highlight' which on Ripple is called 'Highlight'.

Navigation cards are landscape-style (horizontal) cards to link to other pages. They highlight programs we support or link to pages with related topics.

The first example has a thumbnail image and the second has a featured image. They can also be used with no image.

Call to action cards

A call to action (CTA) card is similar to a navigation or promotion card but with a button included. It is an invitation for your user to do something. It should be eye-catching and use active language.

The first example is a card CTA and the second is a banner CTA.

Card sorting options

As well as adding cards individually, there some components can be configured to display groups of cards:

  • Card carousel
  • Content collection
  • Compact card collection

Card carousels are a useful way to add a lot of cards without overcrowding a page. They can be set to auto-populate with news or events or you can manually add cards of your choice.

Read our guide to learn how to add card carousels(opens in a new window).

Card carousel (title optional in component)

Content collection

This is the content collection component. It can be configured to display results

  • in a grid or list view
  • 3, 6 or 9 cards
  • only pages tagged to specific sites, site-sections and topics.

Compact card collection

Use the compact card collection to build a collection of clickable cards with an icon.

Data

We have a few components for displaying data, including

  • Data table
  • Data driven component
  • Statistics grid

Data table

Unlike simple tables, which you build in the basic text component and which are best suited for tables containing text, the data table component is responsive - that means it automatically stacks your table by column or row on smaller screens, such as mobile phones.

Read our guide to learn how to add data tables(opens in a new window).

Heading of column 1Heading of column 2Heading of column 3Heading of column 4
Data Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
Data Quisque sed dolor auctor arcu venenatis suscipit non dignissim velit.
Data Cras facilisis lorem diam, quis venenatis tortor elementum vel.
Data Cras ornare rhoncus dolor ac sollicitudin.

Statistics grid

Form

For more information on how to create or request forms, read the Process for new content.vic.gov.au webforms(opens in a new window) page on SDP.

Drupal form title

This is the Advanced HTML form element.

You can add text and apply formatting such as:

  • headings
  • hyperlinks
  • bullet point or numbered lists.

Use this element to give your users information or instructions.

This is the basic HTML element. Same same but different from the Advanced HTML/Text element?

Use this when you want or expect to be given a short answer, such as a person's name. 
Use this when you want or expect users to provide a longer answer, such as describing their complaint or feedback. The field is bigger and scrollable. 

It is recommended to put a word or character limit on this field. For example:
You should use this element to collect email addresses, as it apply an automatic validation and will reject any answer that doesn't follow a typical email format (e.g. ___@____.____)

This is a text field element with Input masks set to Zip code and Minlength and Maxlength set to 4. Counter is set to None.

Use this when you want to collect only numbers. You can set the minimum and maximum range, e.g. only allow a number between 1 and 10 to be accepted by the field. 

You can't set a minimum or maximum "string" of numbers, such as a maximum of 13 numerals (for phone number collection). 
 
Date element

The Select element should be used when you have a longer list of options for people to select from, and display these as radio buttons would be too long. 

Users can only select one option.

Element option selected 'Select2'. Displays selected items separated by a comma in the field when dropdown is closed.
