- What types of content can be added to a page?
-
Content (paragraphs, lists, images, etc.) is added to a page by adding content "blocks." There are a variety of content block types available as follows:
- WYSIWYG - This is the most common and flexible block. It allows the addition of headlines, sub-heads, text/paragraphs, images/pictures, embedded media (e.g. Quicktime, Windows Media, Real Media, Shockwave, Flash), bulleted lists, tables, horizontal lines and more. It also allows alignment of content, formatting (e.g. bold, italics, strikethrough), adding of links to other pages or sites, or to uploaded files such as .pdf, .doc, .pps, .xls and others.
- Email Form - Create a set of questions to be answered and the answers will be emailed to a predefined email address (e.g. to you). The email form supports a variety of answer types, including single line text, multi-line text area, radio button lists, checkbox lists, select box lists, etc.
- Site Search Form - This block generates a search box that users can search all text on all pages of your site. Results (matches) are sorted by relevance.
- Product Catalog - If products are enabled for your site, this block will display your catalog of products by category. You can add this block to any page of your site where you would like your catalog displayed.
- Promotional Products - If products are enabled for your site, this block will display all products that are currently on promotion (based upon each product's promo date range). If no products are on promotion on a given day, then it displays random products from your catalog. You can add this block to any page of your site. Many people put this near the top of their default/home page. If products are not enabled, then these two product-related blocks will not be available.
- Slideshow Plus - An automatically playing slideshow of your uploaded images. Have one or many slideshows on your site. Select from a variety of transition effects, durations, display sizes, and many other parameters (or just take the defaults). Can optionally have captions and/or clickable links for each image.
- Testimonials - You can enter a number of testimonials or comments about your organization, products or services, and then have them randomly displayed on any page(s) of your website.
- Definition - Allows the addition of "pairs of content" such as "question & answer" pairs for making FAQ entries, or "terms and definitions" pairs for making a glossary of terms, etc.
- Definition (Expand/Collapse) - Same as "Definition" but all answers are suppressed (hidden) by default. The user is provided with a link to display or "unhide" the answer. This allows the display of many topics with minimal space, and only the topics which are clicked will open up to reveal their answers. Answers can be toggled opened or closed. Great for FAQ entries. Can also generate a Permalink to any specific entry.
- Basic Markup - Allows the addition of simple text/paragraphs. An optional headline can be added at the top of this block. Most people find the WYSIWYG block to be more flexible, but this block exists if you wish to limit text entry to a very minimal set of capabilities.
- Headline - Allows the addition of a major headline or heading.
- Subhead - Allows the addition of a secondary headline or sub-heading.
- Image - Allows the importing of an image/picture. An optional headline can be added above the image/picture and an optional caption can be displayed below the image/picture. Most people prefer to just work with a more general WYSIWYG block where images, video, text, etc., can all be maintained within the one block.
- RawHTML - Only for advanced users who understand how to write HTML code and understand the impact it might have on other areas of the page or website. Incorrect or incompatible HTML code may cause unpredictable results for all or some users and/or for all or portions of your website.
To add a content block to a page, refer to the "How do I add content to a page?" FAQ entry.

Login to Admin Mode and go to the page to which you want to make changes by clicking that page's link in the navigation or by using the "Pages..." option on the admin menu.
Supported image file types are .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .png.
Click the "Block: WYSIWYG" link to edit your page's content. Determine the location on the page where you want the image inserted and click at that location (i.e. move your cursor to the insert location). Click the Image icon (a picture of a tree) from the WYSIWYG control panel to open the Image Manager in a new pop-up window.
(Note: If the Image Manager window does not open, then you probably have pop-ups disabled. Check for a message near the top of the page from your web browser and select the option that enables pop-ups from the current site (permanently) so that you can edit your WYSIWYG page content. Once enabled, you might need to click on the Image Manager (tree) icon again.)
Click the "Get Image" link. You will see the "Select or Upload Images" window. You will see a list of the images you have previously uploaded to your site. To link to one of these existing images, click the filename. To upload a new image, click the "Upload" tab near the top and follow the instructions under the "Upload" tab.
After you have uploaded and/or selected the desired image file, you will be returned to the first pop-up window (where the "Get Image" link is). Enter a short description (or Title) for this image (some users will see this text when they hover over the image, and search engines will use this text as well). Then click the [Insert] button near the bottom and your selected image will be added to your page at the insert location.
To insert another image, click at the insert location for the next image, click the Image Manager (tree) icon, click the "Get Image" link and do it again.
Once you are done inserting images, save the changes to your WYSISYG block by clicking the [Save Changes] button.
(Alternatively, if you wish to add an image using a separate block on the page (if you are not using the WYSIWYG block), then hover your mouse over the "Page" link which is located near the top of the page. The Page Menu will appear. Then hover over the "Add to This Page" option on the Page Menu and a sub-menu will appear. Click on the "Image" option on the sub-menu. This will add an Image block to the bottom of the page. If you wish to have an optional headline above this image, or an optional caption below the image, then enter them in the appropriate field. To upload the image from your local workstation, click the [Browse] button and then navigate/browse your local system until you find the desired image and click on it to upload. Once loaded, click the [Save Changes] button. To move the Image block to the desired location on the page, refer to the "How do a change the order of blocks on a page" FAQ entry.)

- How to Embed (Play) a YouTube, Vimeo or other third party Video
-
Login to Admin Mode and go to the page where you want to embed the video by clicking that page's link in the navigation or by using the "Pages..." option on the admin menu.
You may use this feature to embed (play) a video within a WYSIWYG block on any page of your website, from any of the following supported third party video sites:
- DailyMotion
- MySpace
- Vimeo
- Yahoo
- YouTube
Click the "Block: WYSIWYG" link to edit your page's content. Determine the location on the page where you want the video embedded (displayed) and click at that location (move your cursor to the insert location). It is best to embed a video on its own empty line, so position your cursor at the end of the previous paragraph and press Enter to create a new line/paragraph.
On this empty line, you need to enter a video embed tag. This tag must be in a specific format (shown below), and you will need to specify which site you are getting the video from, and what the video's unique Video ID is on that site. This will be explained below.
Video Tag Format: {{bongo4u=video|site=SITENAME|video_id=1234567890}}
Example #1: To embed a YouTube video, first go to the www.youtube.com site, find the video and play it. You web browser will show the URL or address of this video. Within that URL will be the video's unique Video ID. For example, viewing a video at this URL "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPSMsptRrvI&feature=..." you will see the Video ID is the "v=" parameter, in this case "WPSMsptRrvI". To embed this YouTube video in a WYSIWYG block, just enter the following code on its own empty line:
{{bongo4u=video|site=youtube|video_id=WPSMsptRrvI}}
Optionally, you can tell the code what the display width and height is for the video, so that the player knows what size to use. Just optionally add the |width=N and |height=N parms to the above tag, as follows:
{{bongo4u=video|site=youtube|video_id=WPSMsptRrvI|width=420|height=315}}
Example #2: To embed a Vimeo video that plays on the www.vimeo.com site using URL "https://vimeo.com/19050434" we can see that its unique Video ID is "19050434", therefore the video embed tag to play this video on your website within a WYSIWYG block would be either of the following tags:
{{bongo4u=video|site=vimeo|video_id=19050434}}
{{bongo4u=video|site=vimeo|video_id=19050434|width=400|height=225}}
Here are the valid values for the "site=" parameter:
- site=dailymotion for a DailyMotion video
- site=myspace for a MySpace video
- site=vimeo for a Vimeo video
- site=yahoo for a Yahoo video
- site=youtube for a YouTube video
You may embed videos from third party video sites on any page that has a WYSIWYG block. You can also embed multiple videos within the same WYSIWYG block, just ensure that each video embed tag is on its own empty line.
Once you are done embedding videos, save the changes to your WYSISYG block by clicking the [Save Changes] button.
Remember to test your video embeds to ensure that they work as expected.

- How To Add a Countdown
-
You can add a Countdown block to any page. It will ask for a target Date and then will display an automatically decreasing number of days prior to that target Date.
You can also enter a message to be displayed to the left or right of the number of days left, and you can optionally enter a secondary message which will be displayed after the target Date has come and gone.
For example, you could have it display "Days until the Big Event:" before the number, and it would be displayed as "Days until the Big Event: 17" (if there were in fact 17 days remaining before the target Date that you entered).
You could also enter a secondary message such as "The event was great! See you next year!" ... or you could leave the secondary message empty and then no countdown message would be displayed after the target Date had passed.
It is easy to just try adding a Countdown block to one of your pages and see what it looks like. It has a "real-time preview" built into its editing mode, so you can see what it will look like while you experiment with different messages, etc. Then click the usual [Save Changes] button to create the block on your page.

Note: If the administrator of the specified Facebook Page has set access restrictions on the Page (e.g. minimum age, not from county A, B or C, etc.), then users will need to be logged into the Facebook system in order for Facebook to provide users with a feed of wall posts, so that the Facebook system knows if a given user satisfies the Page's access requirements. This is a Facebook mandated condition that cannot be bypassed. If a user is not logged in, then a link will be provided with a message asking them to login to access the content (this is all automatic). On the other hand, if the Page has no access restrictions, then there is no need for users to be logged in to see the Page's wall posts.

- How Do I Display an RSS Feed on my Website
-
This feature lets you display the RSS feed from another website, blog, twitter account, etc., on your website. You can define how many entries from the RSS feed are to be displayed on your website.
Login to Admin Mode and go to the page that you want to display the RSS feed on by clicking on that page's link in the navigation.
Once you are on the correct page, hover your mouse over the "Page Menu" link located near the top of the page. The Page Menu will appear.
Hover over the "Add to This Page" option and a sub-menu will appear.
Click on the "RSS Feed Widget" option on the sub-menu. This will add an RSS Feed Widget block to the bottom of the page. You are NOT done yet.
Answer the questions to define what the block should display...
RSS Feed URL: Enter the URL of the RSS feedback from the website, blog, twitter account, etc., that you wish to display on your website. The URL should start with "https://".
API Key for this site: This display widget uses publicly available code from Google. Google requires that each website obtain a free "API Key" to use its code. This is an easy, quick form to fill in, and then your API Key is immediately provided to you. Just click the provided link called "get a free key" which will open the form in a new window. All you enter in this form is the URL (domain name) of your website and click the [Generate API Key] button. Then copy-and-paste the generated API Key into the "API Key for this site" field in the RSS Feed Widget block. The API Key will be a long series of letters and numbers altogether in one long string of characters.
Number of entries to display: Enter a positive integer (1-99). Enter a number between 1 and 99 which will control how many entries from the RSS Feed URL get displayed in this block on your website. The most recent entries are displayed first. Therefore, if you enter "5" then the 5 most recent entries from the RSS Feed URL will be displayed, with the most recent (newest) entry listed first.
Milliseconds between transitions: Enter a positive integer (500-99999). 1000 milliseconds is 1 second, so entering 5000 will define a 5 second delay before the widget highlights the next entry from the feed. Do not enter a comma, only enter digits (e.g. "5,000" is bad, but "5000" is good).
CSS Code for Display Box: This can be ignored. This is for advanced users who understand CSS coding, so they can tweak the look (style) of the resulting display box.
When you are finished, press the [Save Changes] button. This displays your RSS Feed on the current page.
To move the RSS Feed Widget block to the desired location or order on the page, refer to the "How do a change the order of blocks on a page" FAQ entry.

- How Do I Display the "Last Modified Date" on a Page?
-
You can add a special tag anywhere within a WYSIWYG block to display the date that the current block was last updated by any Admin user.
This is sometimes helpful if users need to know the last time that a given page was updated (e.g. recently or not for a long time).
All you need to do is to insert either of the following special tags anywhere within a WYSIWYG block, and when the page is displayed on the website, the system will lookup the last-modified-date for that block and display it for the user.
- To only display the Date (not time) use tag: {{bongo4u=modified_date}}
- To display both the Date and Time use tag: {{bongo4u=modified_date_time}}
For example, you could display a line like the following at the top or bottom of the page (or anywhere):
Last Updated: {{bongo4u=modified_date_time}}
The special tags can be coded in lowercase, uppercase, or mixed-case. There cannot be any spaces between the opening '{{' and closing '}}' brackets.

- How do I Organize a Large Number of Images
-
You can easily organize your images into folders. You can specify a folder when you initially upload each image, or you can move an image into a folder at a later point in time.
To move existing images into a folder, go into the Image Manager while editing any WYSIWYG block.
Create a New Folder
If you will be moving images into a new folder, you will need to create that new folder first by clicking the "Folders" tab, entering the name of the new folder into the input box which is beside the "images" line in the table, and pressing the [Create Folders] button.
Use an Existing Folder
To move existing images into an existing folder, click on the "Manage Files" tab and then from the "Action" drop-down box select the "Move" option. The "Destination" drop-down box will appear. Select the desired destination folder from this drop-down box.
Now for each file that you wish to move into this selected destination folder, click (enable) the checkbox beside each such file in the list of files. Once you are finished selecting files to be moved into the folder, then click the [Move Files] button (at the bottom of the list of files).
View Folders
Any time you are in the Image Manager, you can browse or select the images in any folder by selecting the desired folder using the "Change Folder" drop-down box (at the top-right corner of the Image Manager window).

- How To Add "Tabbed Sections" within a Page
-
If you have a long page and wish to split the page's content into sections that are selectable by clicking on a set of tabs, then use "Tabbed Sections."
This feature can be implemented in any WYSIWYG block by embedding some special tags within the page's content.
All you do is insert a "tabnav" tag at the beginning of each tab section and give each tab section a name. The system uses the tab section names to create the tabs along the top of the first tabbed section.
If the content of your last tabbed section goes to the bottom of the page, then you are done. However, if you wish to end the tabbed sections before the end of the page, then just insert an optional "end" tabnav tag where you want the tabbed sections to end.
EXAMPLE
{{bongo4u=tabnav|title=Tab 1 Name}}
... content ...
{{bongo4u=tabnav|title=Tab 2 Name}}
... content ...
{{bongo4u=tabnav|title=Tab 3 Name}}
... content ...
{{bongo4u=tabnav|end}}DETAILS
The "tabnav" tags can go anywhere within a WYSIWYG block. It is easiest to put each tabnav tag on a separate line (but this is not required).
Each tabnav tag must begin with: {{bongo4u=tabnav| ........ }}
Use the pipe character ("|") as the option delimiter within the tag.
Valid tabnav options are:
title=Abc Def
url=https://www.mycompany.com/target-page
endThe "title" option is required at the beginning of each tab section. Use mixed-case. Do not put quotes around the title name. The title name can contain spaces, but it cannot contain quotes, special characters or mnemonics that begin with &.
The "url" option is optional. If the "url" option is present, then it changes the tab to redirect to the specified URL (instead of displaying content within the tab). Do not put quotes around the specified URL. The specified URL must be a fully-qualified URL (i.e. it must begin with "https://") and it cannot contain spaces, quotes or special characters. However, traditional URL-related characters are valid, such as :, /, ?, &, =. Accented characters within the URL might be problematic.
The "end" option is optional, must be the only option on a tag when it is specified, and can be put at the bottom of the last tabbed section if any non-tabbed content will be needed after the tabbed sections on the page. However, if the tabbed sections go to the end of the page, then the "end" option is not needed.
