Customize the home page
Build your organization's home page with content blocks: introduction, photos, calendars, weather, registrations… Each block can be public or restricted to certain users.
Add a content block
- Go to Administration›Customize›Homepage.
- Click Add a block and choose a block type.
- Fill in the block options, then click Save.
The page is organized in two columns. Move the blocks by drag and drop, from one column to the other or within the same column, to build your layout.
Two blocks are managed automatically: the Login / Welcome block is always present (it can be moved but neither edited nor deleted), and the Online Sign-ups block appears when online registrations are enabled (customize its tagline and button color, or hide it with the Hide this block even if sign-ups are active option).
Choose the right block types
- Custom Block: title, icon and free content (formatted text, images, files, tables). This is the all-purpose block for your announcements and presentations.
- Photos: displays the latest photos or a random selection, from all your albums or from a specific album.
- Public Schedules: embeds a public calendar configuration directly on the home page.
- Find a Partner: highlights the latest find a partner ads.
- News Feed (RSS): predefined sports news or a custom feed.
- Pages Menu, Access Map, Local Weather: navigation to your web pages, access map and weather forecast.
- Facebook and Twitter: embed your organization's feed on the home page, so you don't have to copy every post.
Restrict a block to certain users
Each content block has a Privacy setting:
- Open the block concerned.
- Choose Public (visible to all visitors) or Private (visible only after signing in).
- In private mode, limit the display to certain profiles or subscriptions if needed.
You can therefore display a different message depending on the audience: practical information for visitors, internal instructions for members, announcements reserved for a subscription.
Customize the banner and the logo
- In Administration›Customize›Homepage, click Banner (or Edit the banner when hovering over the header image).
- Choose one of the suggested visuals or upload your own image (JPEG, GIF or PNG, minimum width of 1170 pixels).
- Set the display type, add a hyperlink on the banner if needed, or hide it completely.
The Logo button lets you upload the organization's logo, displayed in the navigation bar and on your communications.
Change the color theme
In the side menu of the section, under Theme, click a color swatch: the entire organization website (buttons, links, headers) immediately adopts the chosen color.
