Empty main box with freely creatable sub-boxes
Flexible design with text, image, external link or contact information

How to set up the New Overview Page module
Open the backend via the gear icon > Main Menu
Click on “+ New Overview Page”
You can first define the title of the main box, enter the text content, and optionally upload an image.
Click Save to create the page
Now create the categories (in all languages, important for Morning Post)
First, it’s important to create one or more categories.
These are not visible in the guest view and are only important if you also use the Morning Post in Guestnet.
Even if you only create one category, you can name it freely.Once you have created one or more categories (always filled in all languages), you can create the sub-boxes.
To create them, click on “+ New Entry”.
Each new entry corresponds to a new sub-box.Click on “+ New Entry” to create sub-boxes.
In a sub-box, the following functions are available to you:
TITLE, TEXT AND IMAGE
You can first define the title of the box, enter the text content, or upload an image.
This image is the main image of this sub-box.
EXTERNAL LINK
You also have the option to add an external link in the corresponding field.
Once this field is filled in, the guest will be taken directly to the linked website when clicking the box.
If an error message appears in the guest view, we recommend unchecking the back button function, as the desired website probably does not support direct linking.
⚠️ If this field is filled in with a link, all other content such as image and text content will not be visible to the guest,
as the box will exclusively redirect to the linked website.
CONTACT DETAILS AND ADDITIONAL BUTTONS
As an alternative to the “External Link” field, you can also fill out the “Contact” section on the right side.
From these completed fields, buttons are generated so guests can perform the following actions:
Email field: When the guest clicks on it, the default mail app on their phone opens to compose an email.
Phone field: When the guest clicks on it, they directly call the entered phone number.
Website and Button Text: This creates a button with the title “Button Text”, and clicking it takes the guest to the website entered in the “Website” field.
This combination works well with text content and image.
PDF FILE(S)
It is also possible to upload PDF files.
It is also possible to upload multiple PDF files within the same overview page,
each of which can be titled individually:
FAQ about the module
Why should I deactivate the back button for linked content?
Why should I deactivate the back button for linked content?
If you insert an external or internal link in a box, we recommend deactivating the back button function,
because some linked websites – especially external ones – do not support direct return navigation.
This can result in error messages being displayed in the guest view or the guest not being able to return to the Guestnet platform as expected.
For internal links within Guestnet, deactivating the back function also prevents potential navigation issues.
