In this tutorial,
we'll discuss the editable content blocks
00:00:10:29 - 00:00:14:29
that are made available once
the Connect: RFQ plugin has been enabled.
00:00:15:23 - 00:00:18:16
Several editable
content blocks are available,
00:00:18:25 - 00:00:22:03
each used within different parts
of the forms generated
00:00:22:03 - 00:00:24:07
as part of the RFQ functionality.
00:00:26:05 - 00:00:29:19
Default content for these content
blocks is already populated
00:00:29:28 - 00:00:33:13
with administrators able to customize
and design
00:00:33:13 - 00:00:36:26
these contents.
00:00:37:24 - 00:00:40:10
Details on the editable content blocks
provided
00:00:40:10 - 00:00:44:13
as part of the RFQ
module are provided in the Connect.
00:00:44:13 - 00:00:46:22
RFQ Settings page.
00:00:46:22 - 00:00:49:01
Just navigate to the relevant editable
00:00:49:01 - 00:00:51:16
contents section within this page.
00:00:52:01 - 00:00:58:14
To access these additional details.
00:00:58:14 - 00:00:58:25
Okay.
00:00:58:25 - 00:01:03:17
So to go into a little more detail on what
the content blocks actually contain.
00:01:04:05 - 00:01:08:21
So we'll just walk down
this list of content areas
00:01:08:21 - 00:01:11:21
that are detailed in the RFQ settings
page.
00:01:12:11 - 00:01:15:00
Starting off with the bid form
invalid message,
00:01:15:00 - 00:01:18:03
this is what the supplier will see
if they try
00:01:18:03 - 00:01:21:25
to access the bid form, but for whatever
reason, they're not able to place a bid.
00:01:21:25 - 00:01:22:18
So maybe
00:01:23:17 - 00:01:26:22
the quotation, the order
00:01:26:22 - 00:01:29:19
has already been given to somebody else,
for example, or is expired.
00:01:30:21 - 00:01:33:22
This block will just show them
an associated message.
00:01:33:29 - 00:01:37:08
It's nice and simple to start off with.
00:01:37:08 - 00:01:38:23
Just saying
00:01:38:23 - 00:01:43:06
that no bids can be placed for this quote,
but as with any editable content block,
00:01:43:06 - 00:01:47:03
you can customize that as necessary,
make it more visually appealing.
00:01:47:03 - 00:01:49:10
For example.
00:01:51:09 - 00:01:53:22
We also have the bid form success
00:01:53:22 - 00:01:56:12
notification message
that's just very, very similar.
00:01:56:27 - 00:01:59:21
It's just showing that your response
has been received and recorded.
00:02:00:00 - 00:02:02:15
Again, it can be customized.
00:02:02:21 - 00:02:04:09
We then have the bid form.
00:02:04:09 - 00:02:09:03
So this is the main bid form
that the supplier will see.
00:02:09:03 - 00:02:13:07
So they'll receive an email
that will give them a link to the bid form
00:02:13:07 - 00:02:16:12
where they can actually put
in the details of that quote.
00:02:17:02 - 00:02:21:10
And what you're modifying from
the editable content block is the header,
00:02:21:27 - 00:02:24:06
the main body message and the footer.
00:02:24:16 - 00:02:26:08
So what we're looking
at here is the header,
00:02:27:14 - 00:02:27:27
the main
00:02:27:27 - 00:02:31:02
body message, which you can see at
the moment is a lorem ipsum passage.
00:02:31:02 - 00:02:33:19
So we'll need customization.
00:02:33:19 - 00:02:35:04
And then the footer
00:02:36:29 - 00:02:37:21
quite similar.
00:02:37:21 - 00:02:39:14
We have the shipped form.
00:02:39:14 - 00:02:40:24
So this again, this is once
00:02:40:24 - 00:02:44:01
the order has actually been assigned
to a particular supplier,
00:02:44:17 - 00:02:45:22
they are sent an email
00:02:45:22 - 00:02:49:15
where they can register
when that order has actually been shipped
00:02:49:25 - 00:02:52:06
and they'll be sent to another form
similar to this.
00:02:53:25 - 00:02:55:21
And again, they can modify
00:02:55:21 - 00:02:58:24
the header as one content book,
00:02:58:24 - 00:02:59:28
the body
00:03:00:15 - 00:03:02:26
and the footer.
00:03:05:25 - 00:03:07:13
The last two here are already
00:03:07:13 - 00:03:10:14
ships
notifications and success notifications.
00:03:10:23 - 00:03:13:06
They're just very similar
to what we saw previously
00:03:13:14 - 00:03:15:04
or at the moment in the default.
00:03:15:04 - 00:03:19:27
You've just got a separate page giving
a simple success or failure message.
00:03:21:19 - 00:03:23:11
And again, they can be customized
00:03:23:11 - 00:03:32:26
as you see fit.
00:03:32:26 - 00:03:36:11
So as we mentioned,
you can modify the content
00:03:36:11 - 00:03:41:03
of those content blocks
that are displayed to your suppliers.
00:03:41:16 - 00:03:44:09
If I go to the editable content area
within our
00:03:44:09 - 00:03:52:16
in figure admin,
most of you will be familiar
00:03:52:16 - 00:03:57:03
with this section by now in different
areas of the site that you can modify.
00:03:57:03 - 00:04:01:16
Any content blocks associated with the RFQ
module will be located
00:04:01:16 - 00:04:08:02
in the custom section.
00:04:08:02 - 00:04:11:26
You can modify any of those content blocks
by clicking on the edit button
00:04:11:26 - 00:04:14:19
next to the relevant row.
00:04:15:10 - 00:04:18:08
And then whilst a base template
is pre-populated,
00:04:18:15 - 00:04:22:24
the administrator is expected to fully
define the content of these blocks.
00:04:24:29 - 00:04:25:26
we can see on this one,
00:04:25:26 - 00:04:28:16
for example,
that the default template is populated.
00:04:28:27 - 00:04:33:03
However, the main body of text
as part of that body is a currently
00:04:33:03 - 00:04:36:03
a Lorem ipsum passage
which is awaiting input
00:04:36:11 - 00:04:41:14
from the administrator.
00:04:41:14 - 00:04:45:18
The contents of these blocks
can be generated by any of the three body
00:04:45:18 - 00:04:50:08
text editor setting types, so by default
they'll be set to the Code Mirror editor.
00:04:50:17 - 00:04:55:20
But you can also utilize the rich editor
or the content template editor
00:04:55:28 - 00:04:58:20
to make much more visually appealing
00:04:59:27 - 00:05:01:09
templates.
00:05:01:15 - 00:05:05:07
If writing
the actual code is not something
00:05:05:07 - 00:05:10:11
that you're capable of doing, as always,
we do recommend
00:05:10:11 - 00:05:14:17
utilizing the content templates,
allowing you to generate detailed web page
00:05:14:17 - 00:05:19:15
content without having to manually
create the HTML code.
