The detail page (also known as a content page) is the standard page type. Its purpose is the clear and structured presentation of information, facts, and complex content for the various target audiences of LMU. Optionally, an image can be added here. On this page we show you examples of paragraph modules.
Tipp
You can find all instructions for using the modules in the WCMS Wiki.
This module is the most important module on detail pages for displaying detailed and structured information.
To structure the text well and make it quicker and easier to understand.
You also have the option of formatting the text by making it bold or italic. Or superscript or subscript .
You can highlight particularly important information using the integrated info box.
For example, you can set an internal link to a page within your website. You can also select a specific paragraph to link to or even to the other language version of the page. This is helpful if, for example, you only have a page in one language.
If you link to websites outside your own website, you can use the external link . This should open a new browser window so that your users understand that they are now leaving your website.
In addition, you can also set links to files such as PDFs (PDF, 9 KB) or directly to data sources such as news articles, event articles, or individual contact pages from within the normal text flow.

The image is optional and can be aligned either left or right.
Tip: If you want to use multiple images within the text, split the content into multiple standard modules.
The teaser is optional. You can use it to link to pages that are particularly relevant and that your visitors should easily find. You can also link to datasets (such as person pages, news or event pages) as well as downloads (e.g. PDFs) via the teaser. Another option is a video teaser, where you can link a YouTube, Vimeo or LMUcast video.
Teasers can be placed on the left or right. Alternating layout of successive standard modules with images or teasers (left, right, left) can make the page more dynamic. However, with more than three standard modules of this type, the page can quickly become visually cluttered.
Tip: If you want to use multiple teasers within the text, split the text into multiple standard modules.
The announcement is available in three variants: information, notice, and warning. You can use them to interrupt the normal reading flow and draw attention to important details with varying levels of emphasis.
The information variant shown here is the most subtle—it’s only an additional notification that blends well with the rest of the site’s design and can remain on the page for a longer period.
The announcement in the notice variant is more prominent—it can be used, for example, to highlight typical errors in a registration process. It visually stands out from the rest of the design and therefore should only be used sparingly and thoughtfully as a permanent feature on websites.
The warning variant of the announcement noticeably disrupts the rest of the page design. It should only be used for very critical notices—such as an unexpected cancellation of a lecture. Typically, it should only be deployed temporarily.
Only show the detailed information on demand (when clicked).
This is sensible when not all detail information is equally relevant to every visitor, allowing users to selectively view the details that pertain to their interests.
Typical application: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
Each element needs a heading that is always visible.
Each element must contain a text that becomes visible when expanded.
Behavior: opening/closing prompting.
In the dialog for editing accordion items, they are displayed in a list. On mouseover, icons appear—among others a drag‑and‑drop icon and up/down arrows. Using these controls, you can change the order within the accordion.
Each accordion element requires a heading that is always visible.
Accordions can also be used without a heading and be appended to a standard content module to...
...in a compact way.
Here you can set as many links as you like and display them in two or three columns. You can use different types of links (see examples).
| Table header: | can be set at top or left |
|---|---|
| Enter your text here | each column needs a heading |
| Each cell must contain text | table cells must not be merged |
| Tables may only be used for tabular data - not to layout text on a page | when in doubt, avoid tables. Prefer lists or fact sheets |
| Do not merge rows, as this makes them inaccessible! |
Here you can embed video or audio files hosted by YouTube, Vimeo, or LMUcast. The module works on both the overview page and the detail page. Legally required data protection information is displayed automatically.

You can also embed an LMUcast playlist directly, where all videos are displayed in a clean overview. Since a playlist’s content is usually very extensive, it’s generally worthwhile to create a dedicated detail page for it. We have linked here an example playlist from the CAS program.
This module allows you to display large images and graphics in full.
For instruction screenshots, this format is also suitable. Use the settings "Flexible image format" and "Use original resolution."

In FirstSpirit, a new paragraph module for important announcements is now available. From now on, you can create a prominent, specially highlighted notice for urgent announcements on all page types!
Webforms can be integrated into FirstSpirit to gather simple, structured information and send it to an email address. Separate permissions are required, which you can obtain through central support.
Because webforms are often very extensive, it is generally advisable to place them on a separate detail page. We provide an example form link here.
LMU has licensed the Anny resource booking tool. You can organize bookings for events, consultation appointments, work tables in rooms, or resources that can be loaned via Anny. An Anny booking can be embedded on a page using the FirstSpirit Anny widget.
Since Anny bookings are usually visually extensive, it is generally worth creating a dedicated detail page for them. We have linked here an example of an Anny booking on the IT Service Desk pages.
