Site Footer / Global Elements

Advanced features

The Global Elements are optional containers that can be displayed above the footer of the website. This content will be the same for all pages and will be visible on all of them (unless deactivated for specific pages).

There are two types of elements that can be added, plus the Pop-ups, an additional global feature that can be activated for all, or just specific pages.

Step by Step

TABBED FEATURE

footer_tabbedfeature

The Tabbed Feature consists of a set of two or more tabs that can be selected. When a tab has been selected, it shows up to six images as can be seen below in the screenshot.

This feature can be used to highlight specific content with links on the footer of all the pages of the website. On panda.org it’s currently being used to show Priority Species and Priority Regions.

  1. Go to Pages -> Global Elements and select the Tabbed Feature
  2. On the new screen, select the site where you want to add the feature, and then click on “add new feature”.
  3. Now select the language (if it’s not selected automatically) and choose a name for the first tab (example: Priority Species). Also select if you want to activate the tab right away. If activated, the tab will show immediately on the website. If you don’t want this, choose to have it inactive first and reactivate later. Click Add.
  4. When the first tab has been added, you will see it in the list below. You can now go and edit this tab and add images. Click on the edit button next to the name of the first tab.
  5. Give the first element a name (for example: Marine Turtles). You can now add images by selecting from the database, or uploading a new image from your computer. If you want the element to be linked, choose the page that you wish to link it to. Click Add.
  6. Now you will see the list of all the tabs added so far. You can create additional tabs by following the steps listed above.
  7. If you activated your tabs, they will appear on your homepage.

PROMOTION TAB

footer_promotion

The Promotion tab is a feature that shows up on the webpage between the page content and the footer. It can contain a Newsletter sign-up, a banner for advertising or campaigns, and a small teaser/gallery.

You can either use all three sub-elements, or one element twice. NOTE: You need to have three elements in total for this tab to appear at all.

Elements in the Feature:

  • Newsletter sign-up (currently only available on panda.org – for your website, please use one of the other two sub-elements mentioned below twice).
  • Center Image (Banner): You can put an image that will link to an internal page
  • Gallery: Small teaser with image, previous/forward arrows, and links.
  1. First element: Click on Promotion Tab on the left menu. Then click on the top right to add a new feature.
  2. Select the type of Promotion that you want to add.
    PLEASE NOTE: The newsletter sign-up is currently only available on panda.org – for your website, please use one of the other sub-elements twice – for example, two galleries and one single featured image.
  3. Select the site where this feature should show. Select a title, image and link for it. Click Save. (Make sure the site doesn’t switch back after adding the image.)
  4. Go to edit the feature you just added and make it active (by default it will be deactivated).
  5. Add a Gallery: Add a new element (there have to be total of 3 items in order to make the whole Promotion Tab appear on the website).
  6. To add a gallery, select the Gallery option and then give a name, link, image, and link description.
  7. Choose the Activate option if you want to activate this gallery right away. If not, you can first add all the images and then activate it. To add more images, go to the ‘Gallery Images’ tab.
  8. For each image, give a name, description, image, link, and button text; then click save.
  9. The added images will be appearing in the lower screen. You can edit, remove or re-arrange each item. If you need to add more images, click on the Image tab on the top.
  10. Add a 3rd Element: Remember we need to have 3 elements in the row to make the feature work.
  11. Please add one more element, following steps 2 or 3.
  12. After adding all 3 elements, they will appear on your homepage (if they had been activated earlier).
