Ricochet: Recreating the Demo - Showcase

Showcase Section

Three Triangles

The three triangles represented in this area of the page are created using CSS. You can find the CSS source used to create them in the ROOT/wp-content/themes/rt_ricochet_wp/less/demo.less file. The written content in this area is managed using RokSprocket. Details about this are found in the sections below.

Here is the widget breakdown for the Showcase section:

RokSprocket (Features)

This area of the demo is a RokSprocket widget. You will need to do two things to prepare this widget so that it looks similar to the one in the demo.

First, you will need to create the RokSprocket Widget. You can do this by navigating to Administration -> RokSprocket Admin and creating a new Features widget.

You can find out more about RokSprocket and how to set up and modify widgets by visiting our RokSprocket documentation.

Simple Provider

We used the Simple Provider to enable us to create custom RokSprocket content without having to create separate posts or pages to do so. Here are the details of one of the Simple Items in the Featured Article List.
