00:00:05:15 - 00:00:05:23
In this

00:00:05:23 - 00:00:09:07
tutorial,
we'll learn how to create custom modules

00:00:09:09 - 00:00:13:02
for use in
standard and custom content templates.

00:00:13:04 - 00:00:16:06
Here, module
refers to one of the building blocks

00:00:16:06 - 00:00:19:27
that you can utilize
whilst constructing your content templates

00:00:20:00 - 00:00:24:08
such as when you select paragraph
or image content types.

00:00:24:08 - 00:00:27:17
So when you're actually generating
your page content,

00:00:27:19 - 00:00:31:08
we wish for a newly created module
to be selectable

00:00:31:11 - 00:00:35:04
whilst we are creating our site pages
using content

00:00:35:04 - 00:00:38:18
templates.

00:00:38:20 - 00:00:40:13
Now to begin, we're going to navigate

00:00:40:13 - 00:00:46:16
to our content templates
screen with the Infigo admin.

00:00:46:18 - 00:00:47:28
This is where you're able to create

00:00:47:28 - 00:00:50:28
and modify custom content templates.

00:00:50:29 - 00:00:54:15
If you can't access this page,
then please put in a request

00:00:54:15 - 00:00:56:00
with our customer support team.

00:00:56:00 - 00:01:00:22
Who may need to enable your access to it.

00:01:00:25 - 00:01:01:25
You can see we have a list of

00:01:01:25 - 00:01:06:15
all of our default and custom
content templates that we've created.

00:01:06:17 - 00:01:09:16
I'm just going to hit
add new on the top right hand side.

00:01:09:16 - 00:01:12:21
So we'll begin as if we're
making a completely new template

00:01:12:21 - 00:01:17:02
as we've seen in previous tutorials
in this series.

00:01:17:04 - 00:01:25:28
So when I enter a name,

00:01:26:01 - 00:01:27:28
click enable

00:01:27:28 - 00:01:29:14
and then hit, save and continue.

00:01:29:14 - 00:01:34:23
Edit.

00:01:34:26 - 00:01:36:28
So in our example, it's
going to be incredibly

00:01:36:28 - 00:01:41:02
basic simply to show you
how this functionality operates.

00:01:41:04 - 00:01:44:21
So populate the HTML markup
with the required code.

00:01:44:23 - 00:01:47:23
And remember,
that you can create variable fields

00:01:47:23 - 00:01:50:23
within this code using the fields section.

00:01:50:28 - 00:01:53:11
And if you need more guidance on
how to do that, you can see

00:01:53:11 - 00:02:00:14
previous videos in this tutorial series
For further information.

00:02:00:16 - 00:02:03:02
So once that's been populated,
we now need to define

00:02:03:02 - 00:02:07:08
where this content template can be used
and we need to actually specify

00:02:07:08 - 00:02:12:01
that it is going to be a module
rather than a full blown template itself.

00:02:12:04 - 00:02:14:29
If we go over to the settings tab,

00:02:14:29 - 00:02:19:04
we then need to check the content module
section here.

00:02:19:06 - 00:02:23:28
So assigning this template as a content
module is the first major change

00:02:23:28 - 00:02:26:11
from the previous tutorials
that we've seen.

00:02:26:11 - 00:02:27:01
This enables

00:02:27:01 - 00:02:30:23
also a separate list that you'll see below
where you are able to select

00:02:30:23 - 00:02:36:21
where this module is able to be placed
within your other content templates.

00:02:36:24 - 00:02:39:06
So for example, we will allow this module

00:02:39:06 - 00:02:43:02
to be used as content
within the one column layout,

00:02:43:04 - 00:02:46:12
because on the second page

00:02:46:14 - 00:02:49:02
content, one column layout.

00:02:49:02 - 00:02:53:03
And what this means is when I'm actually
constructing my page content,

00:02:53:06 - 00:02:55:26
when I get to the format of one column.

00:02:55:26 - 00:02:59:04
So within a slider or within a section,
whatever it may be,

00:02:59:07 - 00:03:03:12
and then going to be able
to add this particular content template

00:03:03:15 - 00:03:07:12
as a module, as a block
within that particular

00:03:07:15 - 00:03:11:23
form.

00:03:11:25 - 00:03:12:15
Now bear in mind

00:03:12:15 - 00:03:16:05
that you can select multiple areas
where this module can be used if desired.

00:03:16:07 - 00:03:21:15
You're not just limited to selecting one

00:03:21:17 - 00:03:22:06
on site.

00:03:22:06 - 00:03:24:03
Don't click, save and continue.

00:03:24:03 - 00:03:26:00
Edit and that's it.

00:03:26:00 - 00:03:29:14
Our basic content
template module has now been generated.

00:03:29:16 - 00:03:32:02
Now all that we need to do is to specify
where it is

00:03:32:02 - 00:03:36:02
that we want to utilize
that particular module.

00:03:36:04 - 00:03:38:19
So I've already got a page open
right to this.

00:03:38:19 - 00:03:39:07
What we need to do

00:03:39:07 - 00:03:44:02
is to navigate to an area where you wish
for this template to be utilized.

00:03:44:04 - 00:03:47:16
So in our example,
we're going to add it to our home page.

00:03:47:19 - 00:03:50:16
I've navigated
to my editable content section

00:03:50:16 - 00:03:54:00
and then I've gone to my above mid page
content section.

00:03:54:02 - 00:03:56:10
So you can see that
we're already using the builder

00:03:56:10 - 00:03:59:10
content template,
which is one of our default ones.

00:03:59:12 - 00:04:01:27
But what we want to do
is to actually incorporate our newly

00:04:01:27 - 00:04:07:13
created template module
within the content that we construct here.

00:04:07:16 - 00:04:09:29
So you can see
we already got two sections.

00:04:09:29 - 00:04:14:00
I'm now going to create a third section,

00:04:14:03 - 00:04:15:28
specify a way out for that section,

00:04:15:28 - 00:04:20:02
as we normally
would in a content template.

00:04:20:05 - 00:04:23:07
We remember that we specified
that this particular module

00:04:23:07 - 00:04:26:07
was going to be available
within the one column layout.

00:04:26:13 - 00:04:29:22
So you'll see now that if I go to add
content within that one column,

00:04:29:23 - 00:04:32:09
my custom module is now available.

00:04:32:09 - 00:04:35:20
If you created any variable fields,
you will also be able to populate them

00:04:35:20 - 00:04:36:02
here.

00:04:36:02 - 00:04:42:06
As we've seen in previous tutorials
in this series.

00:04:42:09 - 00:04:44:12
So let's just go ahead and save that.

00:04:44:12 - 00:04:46:01
I'm just going to clear the cache
for good measure

00:04:46:01 - 00:04:49:01
just to make sure
that we're getting the most up to date

00:04:49:04 - 00:04:51:08
version of the site.

00:04:51:08 - 00:05:00:08
And then I'm going to refresh my homepage.

00:05:00:10 - 00:05:03:05
And what we find here
is that that content module

00:05:03:05 - 00:05:06:05
that we've created,
the custom content module,

00:05:06:05 - 00:05:10:19
is now being utilized as part of one of
our other content templates.
