Using Rows and Cards for Building Pages
In Drupal, the Rows and Cards interface can be used build structured Basic Pages and Landing Pages. This approach leverages an organized grid system. In Drupal, rows are typically defined by the layout builder or custom page templates.
The Tyler Colorado CMS Platform continues to support the content management tool from "Paragraphs: Rows and Cards.” While the Rows and Cards functionality is no longer part of Drupal Core, Rows and Cards remains supported by and used throughout the Drupal community as a module.
As such, Tyler Colorado has committed to continuing to support this tool on the CMS platform, and we intend to support its availability alongside Layouts, which, as a part of Drupal Core, is the preferred and recommended tool.
- Rows allow you to divide a page into distinct sections, which can then be populated with different types of content.
- Each row can contain multiple Cards (which act as columns or cells), giving you flexibility in how the content is arranged (e.g., a 2-column layout, 3-column layout, etc.).
You can use Rows in Drupal to:
- Divide content into sections for easier readability and navigation.
- Create full-width or multiple-column layouts to control the design.
- Adjust the layout depending on screen size, making the design responsive (e.g., one column on mobile, multiple columns on desktop).
Types of Rows
- Equal Columns: All cards are equal width (Up to 6 cards can be added)
- Two Uneven Columns: Two uneven-width cards
- Three Uneven Columns: wo uneven-width cards
- Accordion: Creates one expandable piece of content that spans the entirety of the row
