Banners section

The Banners section gives you the ability to showcase arbitrary content (collections, products, offers) in card layouts ways by selecting custom imagery and text.

Section settings

Heading: Set a title for this section. This is optional.

Sub-heading: Set a sub-heading for this section. This is optional.

Heading alignment: Choose whether you want the heading and sub-heading of this section to be left or center aligned.

Link label + Link: With these settings you can create a button that will appear at the top right corner of your collection list section. For example if you have used this section to showcase a list of offers, you can add a button with a link to a collection or page called “Offers”.

Banner card

Card ratio: This option allows you to select the ratio of the banner card that will appear on the section. “Adapt to first image” (default option) means that the ratio of all cards will be the inherent ratio of the first card’s image. Square, Portrait and Landscape will force the images to be displayed as squares, portraits or landscapes respectively. Only applies on the “Grid” and “Slider” layouts.

Show title: Toggles the visibility of the banner title.

Show description: Toggles the visibility of the banner description (if available).

Show button: Toggles the visibility of the banner button with its custom link.

Entire card is clickable on desktop: The entire card is clickable (Desktop only). This feature is enabled on mobile by default.

Layout

Desktop layout: With the “Grid” option you can create a typical grid layout of banners. A “Slider” option is also available that lets you create a simple slider layout. For this to work, the number of banners added in this section must be greater than the number of banners visible as set by the setting Number of columns on desktop.

Number of columns on desktop: Sets the number of columns (1,2,3 or 4). This option only applies on the “Grid” or “Slider” layouts.

Stack on mobile: By default, Tokyo will try to create a flexible scrollable horizontal list of banners on mobile. If you prefer to create a vertical list of banners though, simply enable this option.

Container width: Select either “Wide” or “Full” for the section’s container width. Choosing “Wide” extends the section a few pixels beyond the page’s boundaries on the left and right, whereas “Full” expands the section to cover the entire width of the viewport. This setting is designed to work along with a color scheme that contrasts the base background (i.e. Accent colors or Background 2).

Colors

Color scheme: Select one of the predefined color schemes as defined in Theme settings > Colors. For more information regarding the color schemes please refer to our article about creating your own color scheme.

Section spacing

The section spacing settings gives you the option to adjust the top & bottom section spacing values. Please note: If you select a color scheme with a background color, these settings will affect the spacing between the top or bottom of the section and the content of the section.
