Billboards

Billboards are a great way to showcase feature items or display an image slideshow in the page. Billboards can contain any type of information (text, image, video, file, etc.) and can be customized in a variety of different ways. There can only be one billboard container with unlimited items per page and it only is available in the “Standard Content” module.

To add a billboard item, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to a page that uses the “Standard Content” module or create a new page.
2. At the top of the page you should see a “Billboard” tab. Click the arrow to show the billboard.
3. Now you should see a box labeled “Billboard Item> Add”.

4. Information can be added just like a regular “Standard Content” module. For more information please refer to the “Adding Blocks of Information” section of the manual.
5. Depending on the size of your billboard container and the type of content that is added, the content may stretch or not fit the container and you may need to resize your billboard container accordingly. See billboard configuration below for more information.
6. Once a new billboard has been added, it will be added below the add box under “Billboards” which can be edited, deleted or ordered.

Billboard Configuration

The billboard container has default settings to insure that it is working a billboard item is added. To adjust the billboard configuration, go to the box at the top of the billboard section labled “Billboard Configuration”.

The configuration in the image above, is what the billboard default configuration is. To change the billboard back to the default settings, click the “Reset” button.
