T4 content typesuos TwoColumnsNewsEvents

This content type creates left and right-hand content areas which acts as a master to pull in content from news and events content types in the same section. This allows you to display both news and events listings together, or display one or the other combined with additional content.

The content types you should use to add the news and event content are -

  • uos NewsSummary
  • uos Events

The background colours of the content areas is customisable, and the content type fills the width of the screen.
