FrontStream’s new Peer-to-Peer Event Template, powered by the Panorama Event Builder, makes it easier than ever to create beautiful, branded fundraising pages. Please note that the new content editor is only available in the new P2P template.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create and manage content in the new Event Template:
- Opening your event in the event builder
- Saving your work
- Adding a Banner
- Adding and editing content in your template
- Adding background images and color
- Adding a donor listing
- Adding a scoreboard
- Creating and editing Donate and Participant pages
Opening your event in the Event Builder
Step 1: Once you’ve used the Event Set-up Wizard to set-up your new event, click on the ‘Events’ tab at the top of the page, find your saved event and click on it to open.
Step 2: Navigate to the Event Builder tab in the admin console
Once you have opened your event template in the Panorama Event Builder you will be taken to a page that looks similar to the one below. At this point, your template will look pretty basic but you can use the content tab to quickly and easily customize the content of your event.
Saving your work
Before we dive into how to start designing your event template, it’s important to note that every time you go through the steps below you must save the changes you make to your template. This is a really simple process but also one of the most important steps you can take.
Once you’ve added any type of content, image, background color, etc. go to the top right side of your event template page and click on the orange ‘Save’ button.
You will get a ‘√ Page Saved’ message like in the image below.
Helpful Hint!
You can also Publish and Unpublish your event from the event editor.
A published event will be available to the public. An unpublished event will not be available to the public and will display the Event Closed page.
Adding a banner
In the banner section you can add or remove an image, set your background color, or use the toggle buttons to turn settings such as progress bar, unverified donations, and calls to action on or off.
Step 1: Click on the Content icon located in the left navigation to bring up your content tools.
Step 2: Click on the banner dropdown menu and then click on ‘add banner’.
Step 3: Upload an image from your saved files to use as your banner.
Step 4: To change your background color click on the circle next to ‘background color’. You can click anywhere in the spectrum pop-up to choose a new color or enter a specific RGB color code at the bottom. When you are finished click on ‘close’.
Step 5: Save your work!
Adding and editing content
Now that you’ve added a banner and set your background color, you’re ready to add content to your template.
Step 1: Click on ‘Add content’ under the ‘Banner’ dropdown.
Step 2: Select the type of content you would like to add and click on the ‘add’ button to save your changes. At this point, you can go through and add all the content types you’d like for your page. If you decide you don’t want a certain content type, you can go back at any time and click on the ‘remove’ button to delete that content section.
Step 3: Once you have added all your content types you can go in and edit and add text directly on your event page. You can do this by hovering over each content type to bring up the pencil icon. Click on the icon to go back into the content editor to make any changes to your content types such as size and background color. Be sure to click ‘add’ each time to save your changes.
Step 4: Save your work!
