00:00:13:04 - 00:00:14:03
In this tutorial
00:00:14:03 - 00:00:16:20
we'll learn how to design your website
homepage
00:00:17:03 - 00:00:20:03
primarily
using the content templates feature.
00:00:20:27 - 00:00:23:19
So this allows you to create
detailed web page content
00:00:23:19 - 00:00:25:23
without having to write HTML code.
00:00:27:05 - 00:00:30:29
More information on adjusting
your homepage banner via HTML.
00:00:31:10 - 00:00:36:14
You can look at one of our slightly older
tutorial videos that's BG 005,
00:00:36:25 - 00:00:43:29
which is called Editing Your Home Page
Banner via HTML.
00:00:43:29 - 00:00:47:16
So what we can see on the screen at
the moment is our default home page.
00:00:48:19 - 00:00:50:24
So this contains a slider
00:00:50:24 - 00:00:53:09
along with several sample sections
00:00:53:27 - 00:00:57:18
containing various different styles,
imagery and text.
00:00:59:00 - 00:01:01:14
So our task
during the course of this tutorial
00:01:01:22 - 00:01:05:29
will be to understand, modify
and further design our home page.
00:01:07:15 - 00:01:11:00
And what we're going to do to begin
with is to locate the editable
00:01:11:00 - 00:01:14:06
content blocks
which control our home page content.
00:01:15:03 - 00:01:19:29
So I'm going to go to the
admin section of our website.
00:01:20:29 - 00:01:24:02
They're going to go to content management
00:01:24:03 - 00:01:27:04
and editable content.
00:01:28:20 - 00:01:30:11
From here, we can navigate to section
00:01:30:11 - 00:01:32:28
two, which is all to do with the home
page.
00:01:33:18 - 00:01:36:16
Now the home page section contains
three editable
00:01:36:16 - 00:01:39:21
content blocks that you can see here,
00:01:39:21 - 00:01:43:26
each controlling elements
within different areas of our home page.
00:01:44:19 - 00:01:47:04
So we've got the second one down
is the home page banner.
00:01:47:05 - 00:01:51:05
This is the main banner content
at the top of your home page,
00:01:51:18 - 00:01:55:06
excluding the header, of course,
in our default configuration.
00:01:55:06 - 00:01:59:15
This contains a slider
and a simple four column content section.
00:01:59:28 - 00:02:02:17
So as it stands on our default page,
our home page
00:02:02:17 - 00:02:03:12
banner
00:02:07:03 - 00:02:08:23
is our slider.
00:02:09:13 - 00:02:12:13
And this section here.
00:02:17:13 - 00:02:18:06
Also on here,
00:02:18:06 - 00:02:21:25
we have two entries which do to do
with the middle page content.
00:02:21:26 - 00:02:25:10
So you see this above and below
the middle page content.
00:02:26:22 - 00:02:29:06
So what is the middle page content?
00:02:29:06 - 00:02:31:29
So the middle page can be considered
as a location
00:02:31:29 - 00:02:34:21
where featured products
will appear on your home page.
00:02:35:03 - 00:02:37:04
Now, something we've not covered so far
00:02:37:15 - 00:02:40:25
in this series of tutorials,
but will be covered in a future tutorial.
00:02:41:18 - 00:02:45:24
However, just for context
above mid page content, we'll insert
00:02:46:06 - 00:02:50:03
a content above those
00:02:51:24 - 00:02:54:14
feature products and then below it.
00:02:54:14 - 00:02:57:11
Page contents will do as the name suggests
and put new
00:02:58:12 - 00:03:01:08
content blocks below
those featured products.
00:03:02:25 - 00:03:05:07
It's worth noting that multiple elements
can be applied
00:03:05:07 - 00:03:09:13
to both above
and below the middle page content.
00:03:13:13 - 00:03:15:10
So what we'll do first is to modify
00:03:15:10 - 00:03:19:07
our homepage
banner Editable content block.
00:03:20:07 - 00:03:22:18
So I'm just going to go to the right hand
side and click edit
00:03:22:21 - 00:03:25:19
next to the home page banner.
00:03:28:06 - 00:03:31:04
So we'll be presented with
something like this, which is very similar
00:03:31:04 - 00:03:34:12
to what we saw in the previous tutorial
on modifying your header.
00:03:35:09 - 00:03:37:15
So by default, the specification
00:03:37:15 - 00:03:40:15
type for your home page
banner will use content
00:03:40:15 - 00:03:43:29
templates editor and we'll talk
more about those in a moment.
00:03:44:14 - 00:03:47:20
However, you are able to select
other input styles
00:03:48:16 - 00:03:51:01
name with a rich editor and the Code
00:03:51:01 - 00:03:53:16
Mirror editor.
00:03:54:12 - 00:03:56:10
So the rich editor
00:03:56:16 - 00:03:59:21
best to think of this is kind of word
process, processor style input.
00:04:00:00 - 00:04:05:00
So you've got direct content
formatting options such as making things
00:04:05:00 - 00:04:08:12
bold, aligning things, adding links,
00:04:08:18 - 00:04:10:24
pasting pictures, that kind of thing.
00:04:11:12 - 00:04:14:18
It's not generally going to be suitable
for something quite complex
00:04:14:18 - 00:04:17:23
such as the banner,
but may be more suitable for something
00:04:17:23 - 00:04:21:04
like general page content.
00:04:22:03 - 00:04:24:16
And then we have the Code Mirror editor.
00:04:24:16 - 00:04:27:17
So this is a code editor
where HTML code can be directly
00:04:27:17 - 00:04:31:21
input into Infigo
this option may appeal to those
00:04:31:21 - 00:04:36:09
with a HTML coding experience
and can give you greater control
00:04:36:09 - 00:04:40:28
over the design
and functionality of your content box.
00:04:41:09 - 00:04:45:19
In this, in this case, our banner.
00:04:45:19 - 00:04:53:03
In our example, though, we're going to
remain on our content templates, editors.
00:04:53:03 - 00:04:57:20
So the content template functionality
eliminates the need for any HTML knowledge
00:04:57:29 - 00:05:02:20
by replacing the standard code mirror
editor with a series of simple inputs
00:05:02:20 - 00:05:06:02
and controls
to create the content that works for you.
00:05:07:21 - 00:05:10:22
So this functionality
is constantly being improved,
00:05:10:22 - 00:05:12:06
meaning the layout of the controls
00:05:12:06 - 00:05:15:22
may differ slightly
from what you can see in this video guide.
00:05:16:04 - 00:05:20:04
However, the general methodology
should remain the same.
00:05:24:19 - 00:05:25:18
So what we're going to do
00:05:25:18 - 00:05:28:28
first
is to choose a content template style
00:05:29:14 - 00:05:32:12
and depending on what you're
trying to build, dictates
00:05:32:12 - 00:05:34:14
the one that you're going to choose
from this list.
00:05:35:02 - 00:05:38:10
So you'll see that
we've got some preconfigured examples
00:05:38:10 - 00:05:41:20
for footer content builder and header.
00:05:42:24 - 00:05:46:06
Each will provide their own range
of available content formats.
00:05:46:28 - 00:05:49:25
In our example, we're going to remain
on the currently selected one,
00:05:49:25 - 00:05:52:18
which is a builder templates,
which is kind of more of a
00:05:53:14 - 00:05:56:15
a general template for making the format
00:05:56:15 - 00:05:58:28
that you want.
00:05:59:23 - 00:06:03:22
Do note that the asterisk
on the end of the template names
00:06:03:22 - 00:06:08:13
relates to default
and supported templates.
00:06:12:10 - 00:06:13:24
So if I leave that on builder
00:06:13:24 - 00:06:17:12
and move down a little bit further,
we're now looking at sections.
00:06:18:05 - 00:06:22:01
So we build up the contents
of our templates within the sections area.
00:06:22:17 - 00:06:27:13
Each template can contain numerous
different sections with each section
00:06:27:13 - 00:06:30:29
capable of containing completely
different content from one another.
00:06:31:24 - 00:06:35:29
So for example, we can see in our default
configuration that we have two sections.
00:06:36:19 - 00:06:38:19
We have a slider.
00:06:38:19 - 00:06:42:14
So this, as we saw in our actual web page,
that's these scrollable
00:06:43:01 - 00:06:46:15
banner images at the top of our home
page is fully configurable.
00:06:46:26 - 00:06:49:06
It can contain text, imagery,
00:06:49:29 - 00:06:54:04
buttons and much, much more.
00:06:55:09 - 00:06:56:15
And then underneath that, we
00:06:56:15 - 00:07:00:00
have something called sections,
and this one is a four column section.
00:07:00:15 - 00:07:03:18
So this is a more of a generic section
within our home page.
00:07:03:28 - 00:07:06:08
Specifically created with four columns.
00:07:06:08 - 00:07:11:07
In this case, sections can also be made
with one, two or three columns.
00:07:11:29 - 00:07:15:15
And again, these sections can contain
imagery, text links,
00:07:15:28 - 00:07:20:25
loads of different things
and are fully configurable.
00:07:25:08 - 00:07:26:19
So we're going to begin by
00:07:26:19 - 00:07:29:14
reviewing the configuration of our slider
00:07:30:25 - 00:07:35:08
and much of the content added to
our templates will have their own separate
00:07:35:08 - 00:07:39:10
configuration options where
these configuration options are available.
00:07:39:18 - 00:07:43:15
You'll have these little gear icons
appearing, so you'll see that our sections
00:07:43:15 - 00:07:47:01
have their own individual settings
on a per section basis.
00:07:48:03 - 00:07:49:26
We'll start off by configuring the slider
00:07:51:18 - 00:07:54:13
that brings up the separate page here.
00:07:54:13 - 00:07:59:02
So the slider is hugely configurable
with many of the general settings
00:07:59:02 - 00:08:02:05
governing all of the slides contained
within the slider
00:08:02:05 - 00:08:06:04
configuration pop up that we can see here.
00:08:06:10 - 00:08:09:27
So settings that you might see
within this screen include things like
00:08:11:03 - 00:08:12:25
animation controls.
00:08:12:25 - 00:08:15:04
So you can see how the slides
00:08:15:18 - 00:08:18:14
move from one to the next transition
from one to the next.
00:08:18:28 - 00:08:23:07
You can specify whether the moving on of
the slides is automated,
00:08:23:18 - 00:08:26:22
how fast the animation is changing speed
00:08:28:15 - 00:08:29:07
as well as this.
00:08:29:07 - 00:08:32:21
You can put the control types as well
00:08:33:00 - 00:08:36:18
so you can define
whether you've got bullet controls,
00:08:36:18 - 00:08:39:19
so whether you can jump
to a specific slide or whether you've got
00:08:39:19 - 00:08:42:27
arrow controls to the left
and right of those slides.
00:08:43:12 - 00:08:44:21
So it's quite configurable.
00:08:44:21 - 00:08:46:22
And just to show you
what these actually relate to.
00:08:48:09 - 00:08:49:17
Of course,
00:08:49:17 - 00:08:52:05
we've got automatic transitions
are fairly straightforward,
00:08:52:05 - 00:08:55:16
but you'll see how that automatically
moved from one to the next.
00:08:56:08 - 00:08:59:06
We've got our bullet transitions
00:08:59:06 - 00:09:01:09
where we can jump from one to the next
00:09:01:09 - 00:09:11:18
and we've got our arrows.
00:09:11:18 - 00:09:16:11
Once we're happy with that configuration,
we click, okay,
00:09:16:11 - 00:09:19:24
and now we want to actually jump
into the contents of our slider.
00:09:19:24 - 00:09:23:09
So I'm going to click on expand
within the slider
00:09:23:09 - 00:09:27:06
section.
00:09:28:24 - 00:09:30:29
So each of the slides
that we have specified
00:09:30:29 - 00:09:35:21
will have its own slides, specification.
00:09:35:21 - 00:09:39:04
So this operates in much the same way
as the main slider section
00:09:39:04 - 00:09:41:27
that we had detailed just a moment ago.
00:09:42:09 - 00:09:44:06
So they have their own individual settings
00:09:44:06 - 00:09:46:15
which will differ slightly from the main
section.
00:09:47:07 - 00:09:49:15
And again, we can custom define
00:09:49:15 - 00:09:54:09
the content is within each of these sites.
00:09:54:09 - 00:09:58:23
So we could modify or delete the existing
slides, but we'll leave those for now.
00:09:59:05 - 00:10:02:28
What we'll do is just add
a brand new slide to our slider
00:10:03:05 - 00:10:04:21
with this add new slide button
00:10:13:16 - 00:10:15:17
to begin adding content to our new slide.
00:10:15:18 - 00:10:21:07
We just click on the Adds Content button,
which appears at the bottom right?
00:10:21:07 - 00:10:24:23
And then we select a slide layout that
we wish to add.
00:10:25:06 - 00:10:26:06
So this is where you see
00:10:26:06 - 00:10:30:00
the differences between the slide types
that we have available.
00:10:30:00 - 00:10:33:01
So we've got one column to three
or four column,
00:10:33:21 - 00:10:37:15
custom column
or this two column image and content
00:10:37:15 - 00:10:40:07
layout,
which is the one that we're going to use.
00:10:41:12 - 00:10:45:06
So these options just control how
the information is laid out on your site.
00:10:45:19 - 00:10:48:00
Again, they're fully configurable.
00:10:48:00 - 00:10:50:12
Once you've selected an option here
00:10:50:12 - 00:10:52:23
it is just to give you
00:10:52:23 - 00:10:54:23
a general layout for the content.
00:10:54:23 - 00:10:58:28
But you're still controlling
what that content is.
00:10:59:03 - 00:11:04:04
So we'll go for two column image
and content.
00:11:04:04 - 00:11:09:22
The appropriate slide layout details
will then be added to your slide
00:11:12:01 - 00:11:13:05
The first thing we're going to do
00:11:13:05 - 00:11:15:22
is to upload an image to our slide layout.
00:11:16:06 - 00:11:19:00
We can do this by clicking
the image upload to the left hand side
00:11:21:15 - 00:11:23:14
and I'll select an appropriate image.
00:11:23:14 - 00:11:26:26
Now in my example, I'm going to select
a whites logo so you won't see it
00:11:26:26 - 00:11:30:10
in the actual upload box just because
it's the same colour as the backdrop.
00:11:30:22 - 00:11:32:11
But it is there
00:11:33:25 - 00:11:35:17
and there is a reason I've done that,
which I'll come back
00:11:35:17 - 00:11:38:16
to a little bit later on.
00:11:40:10 - 00:11:42:14
So once that image has been uploaded,
you'll notice
00:11:42:14 - 00:11:44:06
that you have the ability to download it.
00:11:44:06 - 00:11:47:10
If you wish to do so,
you can upload an alternative image
00:11:47:19 - 00:11:57:13
or you can remove the image completely.
00:11:57:27 - 00:12:01:10
Now, the reason
I've put a white logo in there or a whites
00:12:01:10 - 00:12:05:08
image in there is that I want to control
the background color of our slides
00:12:05:08 - 00:12:08:05
and I want it to
be a dark background color to
00:12:09:05 - 00:12:11:08
match the color scheme of my site.
00:12:12:16 - 00:12:15:02
So options like this,
such as the background color,
00:12:15:11 - 00:12:20:17
will be controlled by the general slide
configuration settings.
00:12:21:00 - 00:12:23:17
So if we're applying a background color
00:12:23:17 - 00:12:27:07
to a slides, that's going to apply
to everything that's on that slide.
00:12:27:07 - 00:12:30:04
So it makes sense
that it's on the actual slide level
00:12:30:18 - 00:12:34:10
rather than the slide layout levels.
00:12:35:08 - 00:12:38:28
So if I go to the configuration
settings on my actual slide itself,
00:12:40:11 - 00:12:44:19
there's loads of options available here.
00:12:44:19 - 00:12:48:18
A couple of which we want to focus on
is the background color,
00:12:49:05 - 00:12:52:02
which I'm just going to set to primary,
which will use
00:12:52:23 - 00:12:56:05
the colors
that we've specified in our appearance
00:12:56:05 - 00:12:58:21
settings,
which is covered in a different tutorial.
00:13:00:05 - 00:13:04:03
So that will just be our preconfigured
branding colours.
00:13:04:03 - 00:13:07:06
And in our case, I don't want an image
in the background of the slides,
00:13:07:07 - 00:13:10:25
although you can upload one,
you can configure where it sits,
00:13:11:03 - 00:13:14:03
what size it is, how it scales, that image
00:13:14:03 - 00:13:17:21
if necessary, various of the settings
associated with that.
00:13:18:21 - 00:13:20:27
In our case,
we don't want to have a background image,
00:13:20:27 - 00:13:28:19
so I'm just going to change that to no.
00:13:29:24 - 00:13:34:06
With that specified, I can click okay.
00:13:34:06 - 00:13:38:07
And now we want to start adding content
to our second content column.
00:13:38:18 - 00:13:41:01
So we've defined an image
with defined the background color.
00:13:41:11 - 00:13:43:23
Now it's our content
over on the right hand side.
00:13:44:21 - 00:13:47:28
And again, we can control multiple or add
00:13:47:28 - 00:13:52:06
multiple different blocks
to these this content area.
00:13:52:20 - 00:13:55:22
So it doesn't just have to be
one paragraph or one image.
00:13:56:02 - 00:13:58:17
We can add multiple different
00:13:58:17 - 00:14:04:14
elements to this content area.
00:14:04:14 - 00:14:07:02
So the things you can add,
I won't go through all of them,
00:14:07:02 - 00:14:11:16
but includes just things like a title,
subtitle, a paragraph,
00:14:11:21 - 00:14:17:03
which is allowing you the word process
to style content formatting WYSIWYG
00:14:17:09 - 00:14:18:28
which allows enhanced word process
00:14:18:28 - 00:14:23:05
to style content formatting,
including things like table
00:14:23:05 - 00:14:27:03
generation, more advanced features
than just the the paragraph input
00:14:29:03 - 00:14:29:25
buttons.
00:14:29:25 - 00:14:33:23
So clickable links, clickable buttons
where you can define
00:14:33:23 - 00:14:37:07
the URL images, lists of the files
00:14:37:07 - 00:14:40:09
and so on and so forth.
00:14:40:09 - 00:14:42:10
We're going to just focus
on a couple of these.
00:14:42:10 - 00:14:43:11
So we'll do a title.
00:14:43:11 - 00:14:44:17
First of all,
00:14:45:06 - 00:14:47:11
if I click title, the appropriate
00:14:49:02 - 00:14:52:18
fields will appear
within that particular content block
00:14:53:05 - 00:14:55:12
or I can enter my title text.
00:14:56:26 - 00:15:00:00
Now, it's worth noting
that you can still utilize tokens in here.
00:15:00:00 - 00:15:02:27
So we have discussed tokens in previous
tutorials.
00:15:03:07 - 00:15:07:16
It's where you can draw information
directly from other
00:15:07:16 - 00:15:10:27
Infigo settings rather than having to hard
code information.
00:15:11:12 - 00:15:15:28
So for example, I might want to consider
putting the name of my customer
00:15:16:01 - 00:15:17:05
on this slide. Welcome.
00:15:17:05 - 00:15:19:17
Just to give a more personal touch.
00:15:19:17 - 00:15:22:19
So if I know the name of the token,
I can write it straight in here.
00:15:23:03 - 00:15:29:28
Alternatively,
I can find them at the bottom of my page.
00:15:29:28 - 00:15:32:17
So I might go for example,
for customer dot full name
00:15:34:15 - 00:15:35:20
and I can just put that
00:15:35:20 - 00:15:47:01
straight into my title block.
00:15:47:01 - 00:15:49:23
So next I'm going to add
another content area
00:15:51:03 - 00:15:54:14
and that's going to be a paragraph
this time
00:15:58:07 - 00:15:59:21
you'll see that I've got my different
00:15:59:21 - 00:16:03:01
formatting options, as you might expect
for a some word processor,
00:16:03:29 - 00:16:06:21
you've got things such as special
characters, you've got the ability
00:16:06:21 - 00:16:10:18
to put links and images in there,
but it is fairly rudimentary,
00:16:11:19 - 00:16:13:21
so best for just
00:16:13:21 - 00:16:16:25
general contents that you need to display.
00:16:16:25 - 00:16:19:26
Not any special formatting
that you might need
00:16:19:26 - 00:16:23:03
on the average website.
00:16:23:03 - 00:16:25:04
So I'm going to put some text into here
00:16:35:25 - 00:16:38:08
and then we could format
that as we see fit.
00:16:38:08 - 00:16:42:28
Of course.
00:16:42:28 - 00:16:45:19
And we do have some additional settings
in here as well.
00:16:46:00 - 00:16:49:14
So for each of these content blocks
that we have added here,
00:16:50:03 - 00:16:52:28
you'll notice that they again
have their own individual settings.
00:16:54:09 - 00:16:57:14
And if I go into configure those,
00:16:57:21 - 00:17:01:18
we can see that we've got things
such as the style, we've got alignments,
00:17:01:18 - 00:17:04:27
information and we've got color
information in there as well.
00:17:05:12 - 00:17:06:28
Now we want to make sure that we can see
00:17:06:28 - 00:17:10:27
this text on our dark background
that we've specified.
00:17:10:27 - 00:17:13:25
So I'm just going to change the color
of that text
00:17:14:29 - 00:17:17:15
to White on both my paragraph
00:17:17:15 - 00:17:30:22
and my title.
00:17:30:22 - 00:17:34:17
And then just around this box,
I'm going to add a third piece of content
00:17:34:18 - 00:17:41:00
to this slide,
which is going to be a button.
00:17:41:00 - 00:17:43:23
Now, this is a button's content block.
00:17:43:23 - 00:17:47:01
It does give you the ability
to add multiple buttons within the one
00:17:47:01 - 00:17:50:04
content block,
but in our case, we'll just do one.
00:17:50:04 - 00:17:53:01
As an example, I can say add new button
00:17:55:19 - 00:17:58:02
and I can put in some button text
00:17:58:02 - 00:18:01:25
such as find out more.
00:18:01:25 - 00:18:13:24
So that's actually what will appear
on our storefront as the button text.
00:18:13:24 - 00:18:16:03
We can then specify the target. URL.
00:18:16:15 - 00:18:18:06
So if you know what the target URL
00:18:18:06 - 00:18:21:14
is, you can just paste it
directly into the link down here.
00:18:22:02 - 00:18:26:02
Alternatively, if you need to find it
then you can go on this target.
00:18:26:02 - 00:18:30:13
URL dropdown here
and then you can start to navigate
00:18:30:13 - 00:18:34:05
towards the link you want to create.
00:18:34:21 - 00:18:37:02
So for example, I'll find out more.
00:18:37:02 - 00:18:42:23
Button might link to a preexisting
content page called About US.
00:18:42:23 - 00:18:45:18
Now Content pages
haven't been covered yet in the series,
00:18:46:06 - 00:18:48:02
but we'll be done in the future.
00:18:48:02 - 00:18:51:01
This is just as an example.
00:18:51:01 - 00:18:54:19
So content pages are additional pages,
things like contact us
00:18:54:19 - 00:18:58:00
about us, terms and conditions,
all that kind of stuff.
00:18:58:15 - 00:19:00:09
There is a few preconfigured ones.
00:19:00:09 - 00:19:02:12
So if I go to all content pages,
00:19:03:12 - 00:19:06:01
it comes out with a search box
over on the right hand side,
00:19:06:14 - 00:19:10:11
and if I start typing in here,
it will only show me relevant entries.
00:19:11:07 - 00:19:13:15
So for example, if I start typing about
00:19:14:12 - 00:19:17:19
the only available option is about us
because it's only
00:19:17:19 - 00:19:21:13
searching for the available content pages.
00:19:21:13 - 00:19:23:00
And I could search between products
00:19:23:00 - 00:19:26:05
I've made, categories
I've made, blog entries I've made
00:19:27:09 - 00:19:29:04
and just link directly to them.
00:19:29:04 - 00:19:35:24
And of course all of these
will be covered in later tutorials.
00:19:35:24 - 00:19:38:04
So if I selects an entry,
00:19:38:24 - 00:19:41:24
you'll see that the URL is populated.
00:19:41:24 - 00:19:45:17
Now we might also want to apply
some custom styling to one of our buttons.
00:19:46:06 - 00:19:49:28
So the button we've just made,
if I go to its configuration settings,
00:19:50:28 - 00:19:54:18
I've got a button size and I've got
a button style where I can control
00:19:55:27 - 00:19:58:02
how that button is going to appear.
00:19:58:02 - 00:20:00:15
Now at the moment it's using primary,
which suggests
00:20:00:16 - 00:20:03:28
it's going to be using our primary color,
which as that's the same
00:20:03:28 - 00:20:06:16
as our slide background
it means it will not appear
00:20:07:03 - 00:20:20:24
so maybe in this case
I'll go for secondary.
00:20:20:24 - 00:20:24:10
So with all of that specified,
let's save that and go and take a look
00:20:24:10 - 00:20:28:27
on our storefront to see what impacts
that extra site has had
00:20:29:04 - 00:20:32:20
and how it actually is configured.
00:20:33:04 - 00:20:35:17
you can see now
I've got my logo on the left hand side,
00:20:36:01 - 00:20:37:10
I've got my title
00:20:37:14 - 00:20:38:09
We've got our body of
00:20:38:09 - 00:20:42:28
text and we've got our button
which has an active link
00:20:43:14 - 00:20:59:14
taking us to another page.
00:20:59:14 - 00:20:59:27
Okay.
00:20:59:27 - 00:21:03:29
So next we're going to take a closer
look at the second section
00:21:04:12 - 00:21:07:23
within the banner Editable Content BLOCK.
00:21:08:09 - 00:21:12:03
So this is the section
which controls the four column content
00:21:12:03 - 00:21:14:04
directly below our homepage slider.
00:21:15:25 - 00:21:18:03
So each of these columns
contains an image,
00:21:18:04 - 00:21:21:29
a header, sub header
and some paragraph information.
00:21:22:10 - 00:21:26:19
And the contents of each of these
is fully customizable,
00:21:26:19 - 00:21:30:17
as you would expect.
00:21:30:17 - 00:21:35:11
So I'm going to navigate back to our home
page banner editable content block,
00:21:35:26 - 00:21:39:11
and this time we're going to focus
on the four columns section
00:21:39:13 - 00:21:43:18
which we have defined.
00:21:43:18 - 00:21:46:13
So if I expand that section,
00:21:46:13 - 00:21:49:28
you'll see there I've got one available
layout which is for column
00:21:51:03 - 00:21:53:07
so I can expand that again.
00:21:53:07 - 00:21:55:09
And then you can see
there's different sections
00:21:55:09 - 00:21:59:08
for each of those four columns
and we've got full control over
00:21:59:08 - 00:22:04:01
what is contained
within each of those columns.
00:22:04:01 - 00:22:08:02
So for example, let's say our second entry
didn't need a paragraph.
00:22:08:18 - 00:22:11:12
I could get rid of that section completely
00:22:11:12 - 00:22:13:17
or I could add
a different section in there.
00:22:13:17 - 00:22:16:19
So let's say it needed a a button instead.
00:22:18:04 - 00:22:19:20
The interface for a button is the same
00:22:19:20 - 00:22:25:22
as we saw previously,
00:22:25:22 - 00:22:29:14
so I'll just select a link for this
00:22:31:20 - 00:22:33:04
and then we'll take a quick look
00:22:33:04 - 00:22:43:18
at what those modifications have done.
00:22:43:18 - 00:22:46:27
So obviously the formatting is not great
because of those changes that I've made.
00:22:47:16 - 00:22:49:24
It's very quick to do so,
but you can see that
00:22:50:13 - 00:22:54:03
the the layout is now updated
based on what I've asked for.
00:22:54:15 - 00:22:57:07
So we've got our button
instead of a paragraph
00:22:57:07 - 00:23:04:27
which takes us to a particular page.
00:23:04:27 - 00:23:08:08
Alternatively, you may want to get rid of
sections completely.
00:23:08:08 - 00:23:12:12
You may not need all of the pre
configured options that we have on here,
00:23:13:10 - 00:23:15:27
or you may want them configured
completely differently
00:23:16:11 - 00:23:17:27
and this is possible as well.
00:23:19:07 - 00:23:20:27
So if I go back to our
00:23:20:27 - 00:23:25:11
fourth column section,
00:23:25:11 - 00:23:27:16
you'll see we've got all that detail
which we've just covered.
00:23:28:00 - 00:23:31:19
But I could get rid of that
complete section from our page
00:23:32:02 - 00:23:36:23
just by getting rid
of the top level section.
00:23:37:27 - 00:23:41:10
So the full column section
and that will remove everything
00:23:41:10 - 00:23:45:03
that's contained within it.
00:23:45:03 - 00:23:49:06
So if I remove that, you see there's
only the slide section still remaining.
00:23:50:24 - 00:23:54:28
Save and refresh our storefront.
00:23:56:06 - 00:23:59:20
And you see now that that section
has completely disappeared,
00:24:00:16 - 00:24:02:24
meaning that the next section has
00:24:02:24 - 00:24:07:00
now been moved upwards.
00:24:07:00 - 00:24:11:12
And of course now that the
the colours are a little bit mismatching,
00:24:11:20 - 00:24:14:02
maybe we want those to be different colors
for different sections.
00:24:14:24 - 00:24:18:00
As we've seen in previous settings,
we could use a similar methodology
00:24:18:00 - 00:24:31:20
to control the background color
of that selection.
00:24:31:20 - 00:24:32:01
Okay.
00:24:32:01 - 00:24:36:05
So just as an example, we've
00:24:36:05 - 00:24:40:20
also got the other two content blocks
within the home page section.
00:24:41:24 - 00:24:44:13
So we'll leave our homepage banner there.
00:24:44:13 - 00:24:48:23
If I go back to editable content
and as a reminder, we've got the home page
00:24:48:23 - 00:24:53:04
above mid page content and home
page below mid page content.
00:24:53:28 - 00:24:58:09
So again, just a reminder of what
the mid page content is, that is where
00:24:58:27 - 00:25:02:07
the featured products will appear.
00:25:02:24 - 00:25:04:18
And we haven't covered featured
products yet.
00:25:04:18 - 00:25:06:12
That will be in a future tutorial.
00:25:06:12 - 00:25:08:07
That's just a reference for you.
00:25:08:07 - 00:25:11:08
The anything in the above section
will appear above it.
00:25:11:08 - 00:25:16:11
Anything in the below section will appear
below it, but those are controlled.
00:25:16:17 - 00:25:18:07
So the content of those is controlled
00:25:18:07 - 00:25:20:29
in exactly the same way
as the home page banner.
00:25:22:03 - 00:25:25:11
So let's say, for example,
we wanted to remove this section here.
00:25:25:21 - 00:25:27:09
So this is surplus to requirements.
00:25:27:09 - 00:25:31:29
Now, it's not part of our main banner
because we've already been adjusting
00:25:31:29 - 00:25:34:04
that one. It's part of our
00:25:35:26 - 00:25:36:29
above mid
00:25:36:29 - 00:25:42:00
page section.
00:25:42:00 - 00:25:45:01
So if I go into edit our above mid page
00:25:45:01 - 00:25:49:18
section content block
you can see within here
00:25:49:18 - 00:25:53:04
we have a two column content layout
and a three column
00:25:54:11 - 00:25:56:05
content layout.
00:25:56:09 - 00:25:58:06
So this will be able to column
00:25:58:06 - 00:26:04:27
and our three column,
let's say we want to just
00:26:04:27 - 00:26:08:06
change the background color of this one
and completely remove this one.
00:26:09:08 - 00:26:12:23
So if I go and finds
the two column content,
00:26:13:15 - 00:26:17:28
go to configure,
00:26:17:28 - 00:26:20:14
finds the background color
00:26:22:18 - 00:26:25:04
and edit it to something
00:26:25:04 - 00:26:27:18
relevant to my selection.
00:26:27:18 - 00:26:30:03
And then I want to completely remove
the three column
00:26:30:12 - 00:26:34:27
section.
00:26:34:27 - 00:26:36:08
I'll save that
00:26:37:20 - 00:26:40:29
and refresh our homepage
00:26:42:17 - 00:26:44:07
and you can see there
the changes we've made.
00:26:44:07 - 00:26:47:03
So the section is still there,
but the background color is not altered.
00:26:47:17 - 00:26:50:15
Of course we would need
to make further changes to the text color
00:26:50:15 - 00:26:53:13
and a knock on effect
on the rest of the page.
00:26:53:23 - 00:26:56:25
But you can see what kind of functionality
that provides to you
00:26:59:24 - 00:27:02:16
and that is basically
it on customizing your home page.
00:27:02:16 - 00:27:05:11
So with this knowledge,
you should be able to fully customize
00:27:06:04 - 00:27:08:23
the home page as you see fit the content
00:27:08:23 - 00:27:11:13
template functionality is very extensive.
00:27:11:24 - 00:27:15:14
I've only covered the core principles
in this particular tutorial.
00:27:16:06 - 00:27:18:28
If you do want to use this
and make full use of this,
00:27:18:28 - 00:27:22:02
it is recommended that you experiment
with these capabilities
00:27:22:11 - 00:27:24:24
to get a well-rounded
feel for their abilities
00:27:25:09 - 00:27:29:01
and so that you can get the very best
out of the Infigo software.
00:27:29:10 - 00:27:32:10
And what we offer.
