The OC Initiative content type is used to present details about ongoing city or council priorities. The content type allows for in-depth explanations of the initiative, working with OC Resource pages to provide further documents and information.
The WYSIWYG Editor, Accordion panels, and Side panels give you ample space for content, and the initiative can be easily updated by creating new resource pages. OC Resource pages created under the OC Initiative page will display in the Resources side panel; this panel will only show if you have published resource pages. The initiative page will display the 2 most recently published resources at a time, with a View all link to a page listing all resources. You will need to Publish the parent initiative page before any published resource pages display.
See it in action: you can check out an initiatives listing, an initiative page, a resource listing, and a resource page on our demo site.
