The button component displays HTML links, buttons, and inputs into prominent, call-to-action, interactable elements.
Button components should be used when a regular link, button, or input needs to be more visually prominent in order to gain a user’s attention or convey importance compared to surrounding, interactable elements.
To convert a link, button, or input into a button, add a .cwf-button class to it. When in the T4 WYSIWYG editor, highlight the link or button you want to convert into a button, and select Format -> Formats -> t4_button; This will wrap the interactable element in a .t4_button element, which has the same desired effect.
Buttons are relatively large and pill-shaped, with a blue background, lighter blue border, and white text. When hovered, the text will turn a dark gray and the background will shift to a lighter blue. There are no variations or layout optins.
--cwf-button--background-color - The button’s background color (default #006894).--cwf-button--border-color - The button’s border color (default #00a5eb).--cwf-button--color - The button’s text color (default #fff).--cwf-button--active--background-color - The button’s active background color (default #004f70).--cwf-button--active--color - The button’s active text color (default #fff).--cwf-button--hover-focus--background-color - The button’s hover/focus background color (default #00a5eb).--cwf-button--hover-focus--color - The button’s hover/focus text color (default #333).There is no button-specific Javascript included.
The button component is not tied to a specific content type, and both the .cwf-button and .t4_button classes are automatically included in the Compass T4 page layout. It is advised to us the T4-specific class when working within a T4 WYSIWYG editor.
