Introduction

On this Content Blocks page, you can set up event-level blocks of HTML content which you can use in the following places:

Note that an administrator can also set up  Management Content Blocks" style="display: inline; font-family: Lato, Verdana, Arial, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(22, 7, 255); text-decoration: underline;"account-level content blocks., as listed in the Account Content Blocks list below. (If you have content that is common to multiple events, setting it up at the account level would mean only having to do so once, not separately in each event.)

You include a content block for display by selecting it in the same way (and from the same drop-down lists) as you would any dynamic data field.

You can, instead,  choose to display it conditionally by setting up  Event Setup Content Display Display Rules" style="display: inline; font-family: Lato, Verdana, Arial, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(22, 7, 255); text-decoration: underline;"Display Rules.

For example, when you compose an  Communication Email Templates" style="display: inline; font-family: Lato, Verdana, Arial, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(22, 7, 255); text-decoration: underline;"Email Template, you can select display rules in the same way that you select a content block or dynamic data fields. (Indeed, you select them from the same list, appending them to the email body.)

When that email is generated, the content block(s) selected in the rule are displayed if the conditions in the rule are met.

Example: A rule could display a content block with text relevant to exhibitors only if the attendee type is "Exhibitor".

 – Copy the block, and edit (and rename) the copy in the Content Block Details section which opens.

Account Content Blocks (list)

This section is not displayed unless there are any such blocks.

You cannot edit an account content block here; an administrator does that in Account Settings.

 – Copy the content block from the account blocks, creating an event-level content block which you edit (and rename) in the Content Block Details section which opens.

Content Block Details

Shown when you edit or add a content block.

  • Name – (Required) Must be unique within the event.

  • Description – An optional explanatory description of the block.

  • Text Above Header – Text to be displayed above the Header, such as an introduction.

  • Header – Text to be displayed above the body of the content block, like a title.

  • Append – The body of the content block can include dynamic information about the registration, event, or location.
    To insert a dynamic data field, select a value from the Append list, and click the Body button to append it to the body of the block.
    Fields available include ...

  • Body – Type the body of the content block in the unlabeled text box in the center of the page.
    Mix text and appended fields as necessary.
    The usual editing features are available unless the Enable Editor? check box is cleared.

  • Enable Editor? – If this check box is selected (as it is by default), the body of the block can be edited using standard controls for formatting, etc. (See additional instructions about using the Editor.)
    You can clear the check box in order to edit     the Body in a simple text box, where you can hand-craft the HTML code (perhaps pasting it from an external editor), and still Append dynamic data fields.
