Fred Elements are made of HTML with specific attributes. The markup can be enhanced using Twig and Element Settings.

Custom Tags¶

themplate.theme_dir¶

To make themes more portable {{template.theme_dir}} can be used in an element as a dynamic placeholder reference to the template's theme directory (e.g. '/assets/theme/default/'.)

Markup Examples¶

<!-- Simple Element -->
<div class="panel">
    <p data-fred-name="header_text">Default Value</p>
    <img
        src="http://via.placeholder.com/450x150"
        data-fred-name="header_image"
    />
</div>

<!-- Enhanced Element -->
<div class="panel {{ panel_class }}">
    <p data-fred-name="panel_text">Default Value</p>

    {% if cta_link %}
    <a class="btn {{ cta_class }}" href="{{ cta_link }}">{{ cta_text }}</a>
    {% endif %}
