What’s a Promo?
Promos are non-date items you want to show on your website but do not want added to the calendar. Promos can advertise programs, services, monthly publications, etc. If needed, you can add date and time information in the content of a promo. Promos are designed to stick around until you delete them manually, unlike an event. Promos can appear on the homepage, Categories and, Facilities and Programs pages.
Promo Examples:
Add a Promo
To add a new promo, find the Quick Links section on the Welcome screen and then click Add Promo. You can also click Promo in the Page Navigation panel from the upper right of the main toolbar.
If you don’t see the welcome screen – click Welcome from the top right Dashboard menu.
The Composer panel will open. Fill out all fields that apply and choose an image. Many of these functions are similar to adding events. Promo pages have a similar layout with social links, descriptions and so on – they’re just not tied to a time or day.
Attributes (left-side panel) – Offers many additional features that you can add to your page, SEO, keywords and more.
At the bottom of the page are buttons to complete the Promo:
Making promos appear on the Home, Facility/Program or Category pages
Promos do not contain triggers that automatically post and remove them. Promos will stay posted until you manually un-pin them
Published promos may be manually pinned to the home page if you want them to appear there.
If you want the promo to appear on the Facility or Category Page you’ve linked it to, you’ll need to go to that page and pin it to a slot in the Featured Events Block. (Just as you would on the home page.)
To un-pin a promo anywhere, open the page it’s being linked from in Edit Mode. Edit the Featured Events block, and un-pin it using the trash icon.
