Page Add-Ons are small, reusable chunks of content that can be easily added to Pages on your website with just a few clicks.
One use-case could be adding your organisation's contact details to several pages. Ordinarily this would be a tedious process, retyping or copy/pasting the information on each page, but if this information is instead written into a Page-Add-On, it can be added once, and then displayed neatly in a module, separated from your main page content.
In the above example, the Page's main content sits on the left, whilst the Add-On content occupies its own space on the right.
The Edit Add-On button will allow you to amend the content of the Add-On, and will affect all pages on which it appears.
All Page Add-Ons are listed in the Page Add-On Manager.
It can be accessed through the Main Navigation Menu and clicking on Settings > Page Add-Ons > Add-Ons
Within the Page Add-On Manager, click on the + Add Page Add-On button above the list of current Add-Ons.
On the following Page enter in the details of your Add-On:
Page Add-On Name
The name of your Add-On as it will show within the Page Add-On Manager and any Admin-facing screens.
Page Add-On Title
The title of your Add-On, which will be displayed publically at the top of the module after adding it to a page:
Content
The content that you wish to display in your Add-On.
Before a Page Add-On can be added to a Page, it must first be added to the Page Add-On Manager (See: Adding a Page Add-On).
Once an Add-On has been created, go into the Page Content Editor of the page you'd like to add it to.
Scroll down to the field marked Page-Add-ons and select the one you'd like to add to the page from the dropdown list.
Note: Add-On Groups can also be added here by scrolling down until you see the --Add On Groups-- divider within the dropdown selector and selecting one of the Groups that appears below it.
Click the Save Page button
Your Page Add-On should now be visible if you visit the page:
More than 1 Add-On can be added to a Page at a time by grouping them together. These groups are Managed in the Add-On Groups section.
This can be accessed from the Main Navigation Menu by clicking Settings > Page Add-Ons > Add-On Groups
Within the Add-On Groups Manager, click on the + Add Page Add-On Group button
On the following Page enter in the details of your Add-On Group:
Name
The name of the Add-On Group. This will be displayed in the dropdown menu in the Page Content Editor when you select the Add-On to display.
Type
This will determine how the multiple Add Ons within the Group are displayed on the page:
Multiple: Displays all Add-Ons within the Group stacked one above another.
Random: This will randomly select a single Add-On from the Group to display.
This may be useful if you want to display testimonials. If you create a separate Add-On for each testimonial and add them to a Group set to 'Random' Type, it will randomly select one to display each time the page loads.
Page Add-Ons
Select which page Add-Ons you want to include in this Group.
Before an Add-On Group can be added to a Page, it must first be added to the Add-On Group Manager (See: Creating an Add-On Group).
Once an Add-On Group has been created, go into the Page Content Editor of the page you'd like to add it to.
Scroll down to the field marked Page-Add-ons and in the dropdown Menu, scroll down until you pass the -- Groups -- divider which separates singular Add-Ons from Groups:
Click the Save Page button
Your Page Add-On Group should now be visible if you visit the page:
