'Using Module Calls and CMSMS Links'

 It sounds a little tricky, but once you learn this your site will be even more dynamic than ever.

In your pages editor, you will see these three buttons.

 

 

1) White Palm Tree - Insert Modules Call

  • A modules call will help you add a small piece of code that will link to a module that has been installed on your site. For example, you can add an Album gallery this way. In the example picture, adding an album to a page is a snap. Go to your album module and take note of what "Album ID" number the album you want to use is. Then, put that number into the top box shown. any other changes here are optional and do not need to be changed.

 

2) Orange Palm Tree with a link symbol - Insert / Edit CMSMS Link

  • This is the most powerful button. Select some text on your page, and click this button to link to another page on your site. Linking to another page this way will assure you that there will never be a broken (404) link on your site. It's recommended to always use this button to make a link on your site to other pages. Giving a title is optional.

 

3) Globe with a link symbol - Insert / Edit Link


Fig 1.


Fig 2.

  • This is used to link to other sites outside your own. Select over some text and click this button, then put in the URL Link (HTTP or mailto:) to create the link.
  • Fig 1. Shows google as an example link. Press ok to save the link.
  • Fig 2. Shows the target tab. In this example "New Window" automatically gives the target "_blank" (That's what a New Window is in HTML). With this set, when someone clicks on that link, a new page opens up rather then navigating away from your site.
  • Upload and Advanced generally do not need to be changed.
