Primary and Secondary Links

The Primary and Secondary Links have their own individual section for you to add links relative to your site. Each corresponding section has an input for a title followed by multiple links.

Sign Up Form

The Sign Up Form section allows you to add an outside sign up form (e.g. through Mailchimp, Google Forms, etc.) to your local footer. Once users have entered their e-mail address and clicked the submit button, they will be redirected to the related form.

The Sign Up Form section contains multiple fields.

  • In Signup Form Intro, enter any intro text, which will be displayed in the local footer.
  • In Form Action URL, enter the relevant external form URL copied from Google Forms, Mailchimp, etc.
  • In Form Method, select either GET or POST. For most use cases, GET will be the correct selection. If you are having issues accessing the form, try switching the form method.
  • In Signup Button Text, enter your desired button text.

Login Button

You can modify the Login Button text within the login button section. The button name is set to Web login by default.

Local Lockup

The local lockup section allows you to customize your site's signature logo lockup, which is a combination of a wordmark/logo and the name of an individual school, official department, administrative unit, institute, center or lab.

  • Note: The lockup logo field will not accept logos over 4 MB.

The default lockup contains the Stanford wordmark and your site name, all on one line. For the example below, the site name was set to be "University".
