Key Points

  • Standard pages are generally indicated by a "Blank Page" icon in the Admin.

  • Menu pages like these allow you to add content to the page in "Stack Items".

  • Different "Item Types" can be added.

  • The items in the stack can be moved around using the "Drag and Drop" arrows tool.

  • Items can be scheduled to appear/disappear from the page at specific dates/times.

  • Each item has their own settings.

Adding an Item to a Page

Step 1 - Fill in the "Item Name" field

  • Enter the title of the item. The name will display for your item on both the Admin (the back-end) and on the website (the front-end).

  • If you wish for your item to have no name to display on the website, we do not recommend leaving this field blank. This can be turned off through the stack item's settings.

Step 2 - Select an Item Type

Select a type for your stack item. There are many types you can choose from, but 90% of the time you will be utilizing the "Content Editor" and "Ad Zone" types.

For information on the item types, you can click here.

Step 3 - Select "Add Item"

Selecting "Add Item" will add the item to your page.

Schedule (Optional)

Set up a schedule for the stack item to enable / disable on specific dates and times. This is optional and these fields should be left blank if the item is to be placed on the page immediately and remain on the page.

Managing a Menu Page's Settings & Options

When you are editing a menu page, you will see the Page Settings box in the right column. Here are the fields you can manage in here:

  • Page Name - The name of the menu page.

  • Page Slug - The part of the URL for the menu page.

    • If the page shares the same page slug as another page, it could cause one of the pages to not load correctly. Using this field to update the page slug will help resolve this issue.

    • For the best results when updating the page slugs, we recommend you do the following listed below.

      • Keep all the letters lowercased.

      • Avoid using special characters; they will cause the page's URL to not work. Dashes are fine to use, however.

      • Use dashes instead of spaces. Using spaces for the page slug will cause the page's URL to not work.

    • Note: Changing the slug will break any links to the menu page.

      • If the menu page is set up as a menu tab on the website, updating the page slug can break the tab as well. To avoid this, we recommend contacting our team for help.

Under Page Settings, there is a box for Page Template Options. Here are the fields you can manage in here:

  • Show Right Column - Enable / disable the visibility of the right column in the menu page.

    • This only works if the website was set up with a right column.

  • Show Left Column - Enable / disable the visibility of the left column in the menu page.

    • This only works if the website was set up with a left column.

  • Show Header - Enable / disable the visibility of the header - the top part of the website - in the menu page.

  • Show Footer - Enable / disable the visibility of the footer - the bottom part of the website - in the menu page.

Scheduling an Item

Step 1 - Click the "Clock" icon

Click the icon to access the scheduler pop-up for your stack item.

Step 2 - Set Up the Schedule

In the scheduler, use the pop-up date pickers, or input the following information manually:

  • Begin Date - The date you wish the item to appear on the page.
    Date Format: MM-DD-YYYY

  • End Date - The date you wish the item to disappear / expire from the page.
    Note: The item will still be available on the admin side after its end date.

  • Time - The specific time that the action is to take place. It must be set up for both the Begin Date and End Date in the scheduler.
    Time Format: HH:MM AM/PM

Step 3 - Click "Update Schedule"

Clicking "Update Schedule" will set up the schedule for your item.

The "Clock" icon will be replaced and a new icon will indicate the status of the item. Regardless to what it changes to, you can still click on it to update the schedule.

"Yellow Clock" Icon - The stack item is disabled from displaying on the website until the Begin Date and Time has been reached.

"Green Clock" Icon - The stack item is displaying on the website as the Begin Date and Time has been reached, or if no schedule was set up.

"Red Clock" Icon - The stack item is disabled from displaying on the website as the End Date and Time has been reached.

Deleting an Item

Step 1 - Select the "Trash Bin" icon at the right of the item

A confirmation box will appear when you click the icon.

Step 2 - Select your answer from the pop-up confirmation box

Select "Yes" to delete the item.

Note: Once an item is deleted, there will be no way to get it back. It is best to be sure there is nothing important in the item before deleting.

Moving an Item Up or Down

Step 1 - Select and hold the "Arrows" icon at the right of the item

With your cursor, hold down left-click on the icon.

Step 2 - Move the item

While holding down left-click on the Arrows icon, drag the item up or down in the list.

Step 3 - Set the item

Release the cursor. The item will automatically be saved in its new position.

Editing an Item's Settings

Step 1 - Select the gear icon

This icon is to the left of the stack item.

Step 2 - Edit the settings

The pop-up "Settings" box will appear containing item-specific settings and the general settings:
