Decisions on Components

Approach to Captions on Images

Topic came up due to conversations on the new Mega CTA component - how do we handle the captions, especially given we had functionality that hides them on the image and text with image component.

We decided that we will allow a checkbox that will hide the caption/attribution info where an image media bundle is used in a paragraph/component. We will be using the native caption within the media bundle and will not use an additional caption field on the component. Also - we will not be adding any caption override funtionality.

Where images exist as part of the "template", we will NOT allow the hiding of a caption. This would be true to things like the featured image on the top of Basic Content and Top Level. (decision made in weekly meeting on 5/7/2019)

Story Blocks (aka Quad Runner)

This is be used in place of the three story with drawer component that Digital Pulp designed. We will push limits of this functionality and when it is clear that this no longer works - then we can pick up the conversation on the Triple Story. (decision made on 5/2)

Triple Story (aka Triple Double)

Digital Pulp provide a design for a component that would allow three profiles be featured. Optionally, you can click on the profile summary shown and a "drawer" would slide over to provide more story.

We have decided (5/2) not to develop this component until we have a specific need for it. Instead, we will use the existing STORY BLOCK component (aka the Quad Runner) until we had a need for the functionality that the Digital Pulp design provides.
