Mobile Content

You have the ability to add content to your Mobile Optimized Website by using two options that are accessible through Club Central. The two options are adding Mobile Content and linking to an existing page on the club’s site. Members also can access the content on the mobile site by using the Super Menu. This document will provide the steps to create content for the mobile view of the site and how to access the Mobile Super Menu.

There are two options when adding Content pages to the Mobile version of your club’s website. You can opt between the Mobile Content page type and linking an existing page.

Adding Mobile Content

Adding mobile content to the club’s site is an option to create a completely new page that will only be available within the Mobile optimized section of your website. Follow the steps below to create mobile content pages.

  1. Select Mobile on the Content Tree.
  2. Click NEW .
  3. Select Mobile Content.
  4. Enter the page name that will display on the Mobile Super Menu. There is also an option to enter a Publish from and Publish to date if you would like the page to appear on the Mobile Super Menu for a specific time frame. Otherwise, the Publish from and to fields can be left blank.
  1. Click SAVE.

The new page will appear on at the bottom of the Mobile section on the Content Tree, and you can use UP and DOWN  to adjust the order of the pages.

There are two editable areas for a new Mobile Content page; the Page Header and the Page Body areas. Each sections is editable by way of the content editor. See Editing Content for more information.

Keep in mind that when Publish from and Publish to dates are not set, any Mobile content page does need to be saved and published in order for the content to be visible on the Mobile Super Menu.

Once the page is published view it by using any mobile device. It will look slightly different on a mobile device vs. a computer, although resizing the browser allows the page to be viewed as presented on a mobile device.

Linking to an Existing Page

The second option to add mobile content is to select the Link an existing page option. When linking an existing page, you are essentially creating a mobile optimized version of an existing full site page. Although very convenient, there are some important things to keep in mind when linking an existing document, all of which are covered here. To link to an existing page, follow the steps below:

  1. Select Mobile on the Content Tree.
  2. Click NEW .
  3. Select Link an existing page.
  1. A new window opens with a content tree on the left to select the page that will be linked to the mobile site.

Copy page permissions:  If this option is selected, the linked page will have the same security settings as the original Full Site page. If unchecked, the security on the Mobile pages can be configured independently.

Once linked, a new version of the selected page will be created and optimized for display on a mobile device. You can see the new page appended to the Mobile area in the Content tree, with an icon indicating it is linked to another page.
 

It is important to note that when editing either the Full site or Mobile pages, the changes will be applied to both views of the page. This includes content edits, saving changes, and publishing/unpublishing the document

The format and layout of the page may be slightly different depending on the template of the linked document. Keep in mind that the more advanced page the template uses, the harder it may be to properly adjust all of the content on the mobile site. Examples of what to expect below:

Full Site - Edit View

 Full Site - Live

Mobile Site - Edit View

Mobile Site - Live

Any linked, multi-column templates will be reorganized, so that all columns will be stacked on top of each other, starting from the left on top, second below, etc. Similarly, any images will also be reorganized to be inline so that images that would be seen from left to right on the Full site page will display from Top Down on the Mobile page.

Mobile Super Menu

In order to provide users with greater ability to navigate the mobile optimized site, a super menu has been introduced. To access the super menu, users can touch the super menu button at the upper left corner of the window or swipe left to right along the top banner. Either of these actions will open the super menu.

It is important to remember that Linked and Mobile Content pages will be visible based on their Page Security settings.

  • Any content page that should be visible to everyone, logged in or not, should have the role Everyone with allowed read access.
  • Any content page that should only be visible to logged in users should have the role Authenticated Users with allowed read access.
  • Any content page that should only be visible to public, and hidden after log on, should have the role Non-Authenticated Users with allowed read access.

For more information on page/content visibility including a listing of other roles that can be assigned, please see the article Page Security.

In addition to the available content pages, the Home page link will be listed, which will redirect the user to the log in page where they can enter their log in credentials. Below the Home page link, a Full Site link will be displayed allowing the user to navigate to the full version of your club’s website.

Mobile User Modules and the Limitations of Mobile Content

Not all modules are offered on the e3 mobile platform. Here is a list of the available modules and a link to their respective article; more information on how to use the mobile user modules can be found here:
In addition to modules, not all content pages can be linked and turned into mobile pages. This is specifically true with Page Types.
As of this writing, the Golf Scorecard is available and can be linked from a mobile page and is fully functional on the e3 mobile platform. Others will be updated throughout 2015.
