Activity Reg – Additional Content and Contact Us Pages

               

You can create multiple page ActivityReg websites.  On your Activity Registration site, you have the ability to create web pages in addition to your Home Page.  These can be custom web pages with graphics and text or PDF’s. These pages are also in addition to Specific Activity pages that you may design to highlight a program or facility. 

Common examples of Additional Content pages are PDF Brochures, About Us page, forms, facility or site description, accessibility statements, cancellation or reservation policies or waiver documents. You can also create a complete page to highlight all your Youth or Adult leagues or provide a page of play tips and links to instructional videos.   You can also add downloadable files such as a blank health form.   You can also add a “Contact Us” page.

 

NOTE:  After you add additional content be sure to click [Send Custom Pages to Website] from the Website Configuration screen to upload your changes and review.

 

Additional confirmation pages can appear in the drop down list under the ‘Information’ tab on the ActivityReg website menu bar.   You can also build Quicklinks from your home page to these Additional Content pages for easy accessibility.

 

Prerequisites:  You must have the ActivityReg Sportsman Module licensed.  You will need Website Customization permissions enabled in your Sportsman user security to design and edit ActivityReg.

Adding Additional Content Pages

 

Start by logging into Sportsman and navigate to Define>Website on the top left of your Sportsman menu.  Next, highlight the website you wish to work on and click [Edit Website] (normally your Production status site).

 

This will bring up the main editing options for your website. On the top of this window you will see 5 tabs. Click on the ‘Additional Content’ tab located at the top middle part of the window.

 

Under the [Additional Content] tab you will see options for [New, Edit, & Delete]. Click on the [New] Option.

 

 

After selecting [New] you will be prompted to select the type of Additional Page you would like to add.

 

Creating a Custom Secondary Webpage (Web Page with Widgets)

The first option is to [Create a Web Page With Widgets]. This option gives you the ability to create another complete page that is linkable from your home page by using the ActivityReg editor. You can use the same techniques you use to create and edit your Home Page.   You can add different types of widgets such as images, text, buttons and slideshows.   

 

On the ‘Edit Web Page’ be sure to select the check box for Add Menu Option to Site Info on ActivityReg Main Menu for it to appear in the dropdown list from the Home Page ‘Information’ tab.

 

 

 

Creating a PDF Secondary Webpage (Web Page from PDF)

The second option is to [Create a Web Page From a PDF]. This option gives you the ability to take an existing PDF formatted file and upload it to your website as an additional page to which you can link.  When the option is clicked on from your Information menu it brings up the PDF in you default reader (generally your web browser).

Note: we recommend you reduce the size of your PDF file if it is large (such as a program brochure).  You can do this using a ‘compress’ or ‘optimize’ feature in your PDF creator program, otherwise your PDF may be too large to load to Sportsman.  

 

After selecting this option, you should see the ‘PDF Web Page Definition’ box pictured below.

 

Name the document at the top in the Name field.  This will be visible internally only.  You will assign it a customer-facing name in a few steps. After you’ve named it, click on the [Load From File] option.

 

 

This will pull up your Windows File Explorer. Locate the PDF you wish to use, click on it and hit [OK]

 

Once added, you can click on the [Preview] button on the left to assure you’ve selected the correct document and give yourself a visual on how it will look on your site.

 

Once you are satisfied and have confirmed the PDF in question, you will see a checkbox in the middle of the screen that says Add Link in Additional Info Section.   Check this box and you will see the ‘Link Name’ box become available. Enter the name you want your customers to see.  This will be the customer-facing name for the link to this additional content.  Once you have completed these steps and your information looks like the image below, click [OK] to save your new PDF page.

 

You will now see your new page added to your Additional Content List.

 

On the Menu Bar, under the [Information] drop down, you will now see a link to your PDF webpage.

 

 

Adding a Downloadable File

 

I some cases you may want to add a link that automatically downloads a PDF form such as a blank health form or waiver.

 

You can use similar steps to above by uploading a PDF file that when clicked from a button or Information menu it automatically downloads to a patron’s computer.

 

 

Reordering the Additional Content Menu

If you want to reorder the list on the ‘Information’ tab of the menu bar you can click on the [Reorder Link Menu List] button from the ‘Additional Content’ tab. 

 

You can then select and drag the items to reorder them.  Click [OK] to save your work.

 

 

Adding Additional Page Links to Buttons on your Home Page

Another method to create customer visibility for your new page  is to use the Button Bar type widget using the ActivityReg Home Page editor.

When creating a new Button on your Button Bar, under your Link To: options you can select Custom / Additional Info Page and the pages you created will be show in your drop down options to select from. Click [OK] to save your Button and then place it where desired on your home page.   For more information see the Additional Resources above.

 

Adding a Contact Us Page

You can create an About Us or Contact us using the Additional Content page creation steps above. Alternatively you can create a Contact Us page by selecting [Create] on the main ActivityReg ‘Website Configuration’ screen. 

 

This will bring up the ‘Edit Web Page’ screen you are now familiar with so you can add staff images, names, emails, and phone numbers.   In the following example we added a text box widget with a table to enter the information.

 

The Contact Us page is a default page on the ‘Information’ tab of the Home Page menu bar so you will not need to add it.
