Whenever you create an event in Seatrobot, an event Web Page is automatically created for that event - featuring the event details (name, date, time, location, teaser and basic description) you added during event setup, and any Registration Buttons you have toggled on to appear here.
You can also add further content to the page by creating additional Content Pages. These pages may feature additional information about your event you do not wish to clutter up the basic page with, such as agendas, featured speaker lists, hotel information, sponsor credits etc.
These Content Pages appear in the main content section of the Web Page below the registration Package. The default Content Page is the event description you added when setting up your event and is visible whenever the Register Page loads:
Adding Additional Content Pages
You can edit this event description page and also add more ‘Content Pages’ to your Register Page, using the ‘Create Content Pages’ tool in the Web Page Tab of your event.
You will see the Create Content Pages panel already has one Page in it - titled ‘Event Description (from Setup)’: this is the content you created during event Setup.
To add another Content Page, click the ‘Add Content Page’ button:
Give your new page a name (e.g. Speakers), and save:
Now you will see your new ‘Speakers’ page area appear, along with buttons to add Content Blocks to the page:
Click the checkbox on the Content Page heading to toggle it ON (make it appear on your Register Page). Then click the ‘View Register Page’ button to see how it appears on your register page:
Your Content Pages appear as clickable page links above the main event description.
Content Blocks
To add content to a Content Page you create (or to add additional content to your default page from Setup), you create Content Blocks. These are pre-formatted blocks you can fill with your information to make consistently professional-looking content.
There are four types of Content Block you can add to a page. Each Block you add stacks vertically beneath the previous one. When creating a new Content Block you should give it an internal name that you can use to identify its content when it displays in your list of Content Blocks without having to open it up to see what it contains.
The four types of Content Block you can create are:
Agenda Item
Agenda Items are pre-formatted to let you create agendas for your event. They contain sections for header label, time, title and text content:
When they are viewed on your Web Page, they look like this:
Media Item
Media Items are formatted to let you add a picture with a caption, and some accompanying text. They are perfect for creating speaker bios or product / place descriptions:
When they are viewed on your Web Page, they look like this:
Image
Image blocks are formatted to let you add a nicely centered picture with or without a caption. They are perfect for adding illustrative photos, diagrams, maps etc. When they are viewed on your Web Page, they look like this:
Custom Block
Custom blocks are formatted to let you add free-form content (HTML) to your Content Pages. You can add text, and images, and links to embed videos; and format the content you add using the formatting tools. The main Event Description (from Setup) area is an example of Custom Content:
Note: some non-dynamic elements you can create in Custom Blocks, like tables, may not display consistently well on devices with smaller screen sizes, like phones and tablets. For content which needs to be grouped in sections, with titles etc. consider using the pre-formatted Agenda Item or Media Item blocks instead
Editing, Deleting & Ordering Content Blocks in a Page
When you save a Content Block in a Content Page, it appears in its own stand-alone space within its Content Page area. Each Block you add stacks up underneath the last one, as below:
To edit any Content Block, click its name to open up the Block editor
To delete any Content Block, click its Trash icon
To re-order Content Blocks within a Page, drag them to the position in the list you desire and drop them there. The 'Save Order' button will become active. When you are done re-ordering your Blocks, click Save Order.
