Toggle the correct header and footer

The OU header can highlight the area of the OU information architecture that your site is aligned to. The current choice is The Open University, Study at the OU, Research at the OU, OU Community or About the OU.

Our new student induction site is aligned to "About the OU" and we want to highlight this to the end-users. Here's how:

Activity 3

The default body class is simply "ou". See what happens when we change this to:

  1. <body class="ou-ia-about">

Example

Now our index.php file has a highlight on the about the OU link in the OU header. It also has some additional links in the third coloumn of the OU footer that are specific to the About the OU IA area!
