Development

content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) is a way for LocalSignal to serve global content to end-users with high availability and high performance. LocalSignal offers Scripts such as:

  • Bootstrap
  • jQuery
  • LocalSignal Maps
  • Font Awesome
  • Ion Icons
  • Lightbox

LocalSignal has a CDN that allows developers to utilize a global version of Font Awesome. 

  1. Navigate to the Scripts portion of your web capsule. 
  2. Select the LocalSignal CDN button to view a list of available scripts.
  3. Choose the Scripts and Add them to the capsule. LocalSignal will automatically include relevant external script files into the web capsule. Manage the files by dragging and dropping them into your preferred bucket.

Developers also have the ability to manage their own copy of Font Awesome.

  1. Download and unzip the Font Awesome files.
  2. Upload the Font Awesome CSS files into Scripts. Move the Font Awesome scripts to the Head section in the Scripts Manager.
  3. Upload any necessary font files or SVG to the Assets manager.
    (It might be necessary to update relative file paths in the CSS files). 


Each panel gives the developer the option to code in either Javascript (default) or CoffeeScript. The toggle button to change between the two is located on the Options area of each panel. 

Note: The code is not changed when users switch between the Javascript and CoffeeScript, but any code left will be invalid.

When applying the cms-global attribute to a repeatable, the entire repeatable becomes global content. Each instance of the repeatable (and all of the content inside of the repeatable) will be shared across each instance of the panel.
