Quotes

You can enter small (horizontal) or large (full) quote embeds using Quote Embed.

• Small quotes:
  • contain a quote and source
  • can be floated to the right or left
  • are designed for relatively short quotes embedded within other content
• Large quotes:
  • contain a quote and source
  • expand the full width of the component
  • are designed for larger quotes and block quotes

To add a Quote Embed:

1. Click on the Quote Embed icon.
2. In Quote, enter the text of your quote. Do not include quotation marks at the beginning or end. Drupal will add those automatically.
3. In Source, enter the source of the quote. For example, the name of the person quoted or the article the quote is from.
4. Click Add Quote.
5. Under Display As, select either:
   • Full: Displays the quote across the width of the content.
   • Horizontal: Displays the quote as a small text box floated to the right or the left of content.
6. Under Alignment, select one of the options. Float left or right will allow content below the quote to wrap on the other side.
7. Click Save.

To enter a large quote with an image use Quote Wide Embed.

To add a Quote Wide Embed:

1. Prepare your image. The ideal image is 500 pixels square or slightly larger. Images will be cropped and resized if larger.
2. Click on Quote Wide Embed.
3. Click Browse to find and select your image.
4. Click Open.
5. Add Alt Text.
6. In Quote, enter the text of your quote. Do not include quotation marks at the beginning or end. Drupal will add those automatically.
7. In Source, enter the source of the quote. For example, the name of the person quoted or the article the quote is from.
8. Click Add Quote.
9. Click Save.

Don't be encumbered by history, just go out and do something wonderful.

When you add a quote using Quote Embed or Quote Wide Embed, Drupal creates a media record. You won't be able to edit it directly at that point.

To edit a quote:

1. CTRL+click or double-click on the quote from the WYSIWYG editor. The Embed media dialog box appears.
2. Click on the link in Selected entity. The media record will appear.
3. Edit the quote.
4. Click Save.

Alternately:

1. Click Media in the black Admin bar.
2. Search for your quote. Select “Quote Embed” or “Quote Wide Embed” in Provider to narrow your results.
3. Click Edit in the Operations column.
4. Edit the quote.
5. Click Save.

To remove a quote, right-click it and select Cut.

Using Story and Story: Feature, you can add a quote, image, source, and link to more content in a way that catches people's attention.

The combo is designed for times when you want to tell a rich, detailed story about a Grinnellian and feature the person on other pages with a link to the larger story.
