The UV Web and Marketing Unit has added a new feature to the “Featured Spot” element so that these horizontal images located at the top of the corporate websites can be viewed on mobile devices.

On the one hand, the spot occupies a strategic and promotional section of the Universitat de València’s corporate websites, that is why it is important to choose good images and texts for publishing. On the other hand, the mobile phones are gaining ground as the primary devices used to access the Internet, therefore the Web and Marketing Unit considered it necessary to implement a solution that would ensure this graphic element retained its full potential on mobile devices.

The solution involved creation of a new field in the ¨Spot¨ element on the Home Page, to upload 500x200 pixels image, that will allow the mobile phone users to see the proper display of the spot. The creation process of the spot does not change: In the web manager (gestor) menu, click New > Select Type > Cover Spot. Put the name for the new spot for the web manager (it isn´t the text that will appear, it's the name to locate the spot, it has to follow the same format SPOT word-word). Before there was only an option to upload an image of 2000x400 pixels that can be posted or stored on our web hosting space and link to it by inserting its URL. Now we have the new field ¨For the mobile phone (500x200 px)¨ that we recommend to fill in to ensure that the cover news remain visible on mobile devices. The difference is that the home page spot for computers has a dimension of 2000x400 pixels and for the mobile phones its 500x200, although this field is not obligatory, it is recommended to use it to optimize the loading of the home page on the mobile devices.
Remember that the format of the image should be gif, jpg or png and that every spot can contain a link to a website or a document.
