Site Placements Customization

You can use site placements to add or edit the content on some built in pages in the system. Placements list can be opened from Site Admin->Placements menu. Header, Footer and CSS placements are special as they can affect all the pages of the site. These placements should be customized only by a web developer. Apart from Header, Footer and CSS placements, rest of the placements can be customized by any non-developer also, as they just allow you to add customized content.  Let's look at some of the common placements:

 

Signin Page 

On signin page, you can place content in following two predefined placements,

  • Signin page Top Panel
  • Signin page Bottom Panel

Signup Page 

On signup page, you can add

  • Signup page Top Panel

Dashboard

On signup page, you can add a placement targeted to specific type of users

  • Learner's Home Page - Top Panel
  • Instructor's Home Page - Top Panel
  • Admin's Home Page - Top Panel
  • Home Page - Top Panel

Based on the role of the user one of the first three placements are shown, if no content is specified for first three, then fourth placement (Home Page - Top Panel) is displayed if it is populated. In any case, only placement is shown to any user at the most.

Add any content you like in any or all these placements.
