 Create an Event Smartform

This brief guide covers the usage and technical implementation of Event Smartforms
within the CMS.

Location and Organization of Event Pages

You will find Event Smartforms in the following location: Content – Training and
Events– All Events – Events.

Location of the Events Folder in the CMS

Within this folder are subfolders corresponding to event year. The Events folder is
organized this way to make it easy to locate an event based upon the year to which it
is assigned.
Creating an Event Smartform
To create a new Event, open the folder where you wish to create the event
smartform and select the following: New – Smart form – Event:

Creating a New Event Smart form

 Once created, you will be confronted with the following smart form.

Naming Rules (AKA the Title)

When creating an event smartform, name it the same name as the event, word for
word. Once named, be advised that changing the name will change the URL
(address) of the page on the internet.
Location and Event Languages

Event location and event languages are obligatory fields. Failure to complete either
field will prevent the publication of the event page.

Visual Banner

When creating an event page, you must provide a visual banner: the image to be
displayed on the All Events page.

Select the image icon ( ) next to the Visual Banner field. You will be confronted
with the following window.
From the left panel, navigate to the folder containing the image you want to insert. In
this case, the image should be under Training and Events – All Events – Events –
2015.

Select the image and click Insert ( ). The image is inserted into the content. (You
can also double-click the image.)

Tabs

By default, a tab is a Subtitle and a Copy (Text) field, with a possible image.

To create a new tab, use the additional tab icon ( ) and/or for an additional
paragraph field, click on the add paragraph icon ( )
Description tab is required, all other tabs are optional. If you do not want a tab to be
visible, do not fill it in.

description will also appear at the top of the event page in bold and is the lead/hook.

Summary menu must be completed prior to publishing Event Page.

Metadata

The second to last menu to complete in the Event smartform is the Metadata menu.

Please note that StartDate and EndDate must also be completed so that the event
appears in the All Event page. Without these dates the event page will never show
up on the website. Note that there is a section called “Modules Configuration” that is
at the top. This permits you to provide a customized right navigation for the event
page, beneath the registration links and prices. For information on how to configure
a module configuration, please see the chapter on Module Configurations in this
user manual.
Category

The last menu to complete in the Event smartform is the Category menu.

Selecting Topics will ensure the proper categorization of events.

Working with Images

This brief guide covers step-by-step instructions on how to properly upload and
insert an image via the CMS.

Image Format & Size

Image must be a .png or .jpg file with an optimal size of 800 x 600 pixels.

It is important to follow the above image specification to avoid display issues on the
ICC webpage.

 Module Configuration

Overview:
This brief guide covers the usage and technical implementation of Module
Configurations within the ICC Content Management System (CMS) known as Ektron.

Module configurations are the technical term for the assembly of “modules” or
“widgets” that make up the right navigation of the majority of pages on the ICC web
portal. They are built and integrated separately into the layout of a page after the
page is created.

Module configurations can consist of a variety of modules or widgets to include video

containers, buttons, photo galleries, rotating sponsor galleries, testimonials, HTML
and more. These options will be covered individually in the pages below.

Module configurations are created using a Module Configuration Smart form. Much
like a Standard Page, Event, or any other Smart form on the ICC portal, creating one
requires that you complete a form.

Location and Organization of Module Configurations

Given that nearly all pages on the ICC portal can have a unique right navigation, it
should be no surprise that a plethora of Module Configurations are required to
properly display related content across the portal. As such, the management and
organization of these smart forms is of the utmost importance. Accordingly, we have
designated a specific location and organization schema for the management of these
smart forms. You will find them all in the following location: Content – Data –
Module Configuration.
 Location of the Module Configuration Folder in the CMS

Within this folder are four subfolders. For the purposes of this guide, we will only
focus on one of these folders and its subfolders – Category. This is where all new
module configurations should be placed.

As you can see from the above graphic, the Category folder is organized much like
the rest of the portal. This is no coincidence. The module configuration folder is
organized this way to make it easy to locate a module configuration based upon the
page to which it is assigned. When creating a module configuration, place the new
module configuration in the same folder beneath the Category folder where the page
to which it is assigned is located in the main navigation structure.
For example, if you want to create a right navigation for an Event, the proper location
for this module configuration is in the following folder: Content – Data – Module
Configuration – Category – Training and Events – All Events

Example location of a module configuration within the All Events Folder

Creating a Module Configuration Smart form
To create a new Module Configuration, open the folder where you wish to create the
module configuration and select the following: New – Smart form – Module
Configuration:

Creating a New Module Configuration Smart form

Once created, you will be confronted with the following smart form.

Naming Rules (AKA the Title)

When creating a module configuration, name it the exact same name as the page to
which it is being assigned. If the page is an event, name it the same name as the
event, word for word. If it is a news article, name it the same names as the news
article, word for word. You get the picture.
Modules:

As its name indicates, a module configuration is made up of modules. When

creating a module configuration for the first time, you are presented with a single
module to configure. If you wish to add more, and you most undoubtedly will, simply
click the blue plus sign next to the word Module beneath the first module on the
page. It will add another module to the page to configure.

Click Here to Add another module

A new module will appear

Three Types of Module Configuration Modules (in increasing complexity)

As this section title describes, there are three types of module configurations
available to you. These are the general categories of module configuration module
types, not the range of modules you can use.

The three types of module configuration modules

Content Selector:

The content selector module type permits you to display pre-existing content in the
system. This content can range from banners, buttons, videos, testimonials, sponsor
galleries etc. to a range of other content provided it has already been placed in the
system. We will examine them all in a subsequent section.

Query Builder:

The Query Builder module configuration permits you to execute a query on content
and display a subset of all content that matches the conditions of your query. You
can use this to display a list of news that is related to a specific taxonomy or
categorization in the backend from a specific folder for example. You could also use
it to display a list of upcoming events from a specific subject area. This module type
is used when you want to create a section on the right navigation that updates itself
regularly without your intervention.
HTML:
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is the code that makes up a web
page. Used when no other module configuration module type is possible, HTML
permits you to inject raw code into the right navigation to display content. We use
this code to inject Flickr photo galleries for example or to display videos from non-
ICC video channels. Be warned; do not use this module type unless you know what
you are doing. The slightest error in your syntax or code can cause catastrophic
failure of your web page.

Content Selector Module Type

The content selector module type is the most frequently used module type on the
ICC web portal and the most versatile. Here are the options available to you when
using the content selector module type:

Content selector views available

Selecting on of these options permits you to feature pre-existing content in a feature
layout. These module views query or call up content already in the system (other
smart forms) and display it in an appealing fashion. To select these other smart
forms, click the ContentID link in the content section to launch the file system
navigator:

Click here to locate pre-existing content

A file browser will appear and show you the contents of the website for selection

Depending on which module view you have chosen, the content you need to select
will vary. If you are creating a bookstore module, you will need to locate and select
Product smart forms, if you are locating a page for an article widget, you will need to
locate a standard page smart form, etc.

Article Widget

This is what an article widget looks like when featured in a properly configured
module configuration:

Without teaser photo

With teaser photo

This is what it looks like in the backend when properly configured (example 1)

Properly configured module article widget in a module

Content (View)

The content (view) view displays the full content of a specific page you designated in
the space allotted to it in the right navigation. This widget is used vary rarely and if
not used properly, can cause an ugly appearance. It is for this reason that we advise
against using it at all in the right navigation as it is better suited for use in the center
of the page given that the majority of our content is laid out for such a presentation.
For the purposes of illustration, here is what it would look like in the right navigation if
we used it there to display the Chairmanship and Secretary General Page:

Example of the Content (View) widget in the right navigation.

Image Gallery Rotator (No Longer in use / deprecated)

The image gallery rotator used to be the method ICC used to display photo galleries
on the website. Unfortunately, it was quite unwieldy to use and required a great deal
of work to format images prior to use and a lot of work to configure. Plus, the
presentation quality was quite low, oftentimes resulting in distorted images that were
stretched horizontally or vertically beyond recognition. This is what they used to look
like in the right navigation when configured properly:
 Example Image Gallery Rotator Widget

Fortunately, we have since replaced this widget with embedded Flickr galleries which
achieve the same goal but in a much more attractive and user friendly approach.
These Flickr galleries are embedded using the HTML view noted above and appear
like this when properly configured:

A Flickr Gallery
News

A News widget permits you to statically display one or more unique news articles.
Note that this does not update itself automatically; it simply displays a single article
until such time as you decide to manually change it. This is what a news article
widget looks like when properly configured:

A single news article displayed using the News Content Selector Widget

Policy

The policy widget permits you to display one or more records stored within the ICC
document center. It displays the title of the policy and enabled a visitor to click a link
to view the document center record describing it. This is what a properly configured
policy widget looks like:

A policy widget in the right navigation

Standard Page Widget

A standard page widget renders the picture, title and summary of any standard page
smart form with a read more link in the right navigation. It is a quick “teaser” of the
content located therein. This is what a standard page widget looks like:

Standard page widget in the right navigation

Video Widget

All videos used on the ICC website originate from YouTube. Once added to the ICC
YouTube channel, they are then added to the ICC video gallery using a Video smart
form. Once added to the video gallery, they become a content record that can be
used across the portal in video widgets. This is what one of these video widgets
looks like:
 Example video widget

Slider Widget

The slider widget is the widget that powers the main rotating slider graphic banner on
the home page and on certain subpages of the ICC portal. As such, it is rarely used
given its size and necessarily limited usage. There are two presentations for the
slider widget, large and small. The large slider is only authorized for the home page
and the small sliders are only authorized for home-page-like pages. This is what
they look like:

Large slider
 Small slider

Person (meet with Widget)

The person widget displays the photo and title of an individual with a link to their
person record. This is what it looks like:

A person record
Book store widget

The bookstore widget displays the covers of up to two books that when clicked, take
you to the ICC store page for the particular book in question. This module queries
product smart forms from the Data – Products – ICC bookstore folder and displays
them next to each other as follows:

Example bookstore widget in right navigation

Testimony Widget

The testimony widget queries the testimony smart forms from the Data –
Testimonies folder and renders a single testimony in quotes. This is what one looks
like:

An example testimony widget in the right navigation

Product Asset Banner Widget

The product asset banner widget displays banners in the right hand side of the page.
Banners are presently template to look like blue buttons according to the ICC
website templates adopted when the website was launched. A product banner asset
widget is composed of a single banner graphic that when clicked, links to a
designated page either on or off the ICC website. This is what they look like.

Two product asset banner widgets

Sponsors

This module was originally designed to display sponsor graphic logos that linked to
an ICC sponsors page. It was never fully completed during development of the
website and consequently renders improperly and links to a dead page. Do not use
this module.

Example of the Sponsors widget

Sponsors Gallery / Rotator

The sponsors gallery / rotator queries the Sponsors folder and returns selected
sponsor records in a rotating gallery that when clicked, takes the visitor to the
sponsors web page. It requires that sponsor record smart forms be created prior to
use and mandates a graphic size of 300px x 300px to be used. Larger or smaller
graphics will become distorted if not used properly. Please us .PNG files for these
logos. This is what a sponsor gallery looks like:

Sponsor rotating gallery in right navigation

Flash News

Flash news modules query flash news smart forms and display individual records
selected from the backend. They are then displayed with their title, date and
summary. No read more link is offered because flash news has no page. It is a brief
blurb that contains all necessary information. Flash news is used very rarely on the
portal, primarily for large events reporting live from the scene in bite sized chunks of
information. This is what one looks like.

Flash news in right navigation

Events

Events widgets permit you to select one or more unique record for feature in the right
navigation. These records must be changed manually when they expire and do not
automatically update. They query the event smart forms and look like this:
 Event widget in right navigation

External Events

External events are nearly identical to regular events except they are blue, do not
have links to the sub tabs of the events page and can point to pages not on the ICC
web portal when clicked. They require an external events smart form to work
properly. This is what one might look like:

External event widget in the right navigation

QueryBuilder Module Type
The querybuilder module type permits you to systematically query and display
content that meets specific conditions such as topic, source folder or type and have it
automatically update itself each time the page is loaded or when new content is
added to the platform that meets the conditions you specify. A perfect example of
this is our news module which display the most recent news from different topical
areas across multiple pages on our website without any user intervention. How does
it do that? The answer, QueryBuilder.

Querybuilder configuration panel

Layouts

Much like the Content Selector Views, QueryBuilder module types possess several
layout options to render different content in different ways. We will go over each
below.

Title
Title will display content you select in the subsequent configuration settings and
display it ordered alphabetically either A-Z or Z-A by selecting this option.

News
News will display news content by displaying News Smartforms in chronological
order starting with the most recent or the oldest articles as defined in the Order by
field.

Events (Compact)
Compact events are displayed in a small format in the right hand navigation. These
will automatically be updated as events age and either disappear or appear
depending on how the module is configured. Here is an example of a compact
events module configuration.

Example Compact Events Layout

Events (Extended)
The events (extended) view displays an enlarged view of the event data in the right
navigation. This widget is used vary rarely and if not used properly, can cause an
ugly appearance. It is for this reason that we advise against using it at all in the right
navigation as it is better suited for use in the center of the page given that the
majority of our content is laid out for such a presentation.
 Extended events querybuilder module used in right navigation

Publication / Bookstore
This is a non-functioning module and should not be used.

Product Asset Banner

This module displays any number of banners / buttons as desired in a systematic
fashion. Note that the banners should be categorized by topic for best accuracy in
querying the banners. This functionality exists but is not used anywhere on the ICC
portal.
Sponsors (List)
This module was originally designed to display sponsor graphic logos that linked to
an ICC sponsors page. It was never fully completed during development of the
website and consequently renders improperly and links to a dead page. Do not use
this module.

Example of the Sponsors (List) widget

Sponsor (Landing)

This module was originally designed to display sponsor graphic logos that linked to
an ICC sponsors page. It was never fully completed during development of the
website and consequently renders improperly and links to a dead page. Do not use
this module.

Example of the Sponsors(Landing) widget

External Events

External events are nearly identical to regular events except they are blue, do not
have links to the sub tabs of the events page and can point to pages not on the ICC
web portal when clicked. They require an external events smart form to work
properly. This is what one might look like:

Sample Display of three external events using querybuilder

Flash News

Flash news modules query flash news smart forms and display individual records
selected from the backend. They are then displayed with their title, date and
summary. No read more link is offered because flash news has no page. It is a brief
blurb that contains all necessary information. Flash news is used very rarely on the
portal, primarily for large events reporting live from the scene in bite sized chunks of
information. This is what one looks like. Note that excessive sized texts will
disfigure the appearance on the page.

Sample display of two flash news using querybuilder

Configuration Options

All other settings than the layouts option within the QueryBuilder settings will be
addressed in the section as they all serve to modify the layouts in one fashion or
another or define the content that the layouts eventually render.

Configuration options for QueryBuilder

Order By

When displaying content programmatically through a query, you need to order the
content and tell the system how to do so. The first of two fields that permit you to do
this, the Order By field allows you to specify whether to order the content by
relevancy, title, publication date, start date or end date.

Order by options
Order Direction

One you have defined how you want your content to be ordered, you need to define
the direction you wish it to be ordered. Your options here are Ascending or
Descending e.g. upcoming events or past events, A-Z or Z-A.

Order direction options

Results Type

Given that multiple content types exists on the portal such as smartforms, PDFs,
etc., you can restrict the range of content that appears in the output to specific
content types to prevent erroneous content from mixing in. You wouldn’t want a PDF
to appear in your news feed for example. The range of restrictions you can
implement are below.

Results type options

Total Results

Here is where you define how many results or records you wish the module to
display. You can choose any number but most people choose between 3-5.

Total results options

Randomize Results

This option randomly orders the results. It is never used but nice to know it is there
just in case.

Randomise Resutls
Offer RSS?
RSS feeds permit users to access content using an RSS reader without having to
access the website directly. Used occasionally for news feeds, it permits the user to
subscribe to an RSS feed and receive updates. Nearly all content on the portal is
deactivated for RSS feeds given the weak functionality present.

Offer RSS?

RSS Max Days

RSS feeds are valid for a maximum of 30 days from date of publication. You can
further restrict this feed length by selecting the options located within the dropdown
menu.

RSS Length / Max Days

Search Text
Entering search text in this field will configure the module to only return content that
contains the search text you define and nothing else. If content you wish to feature
doesn’t possess the exact phrase you type into this field, it will not be displayed in
the final output.

Keywords
Like search text, entering text in this field will configure the module to only return
content that contains the keywords you define and nothing else. Given that
keywords are not used on the portal, the chances of it ever turning up anything are
slim so don’t use it.
Areas

Areas defines where on the portal you want the query to look for the content you
wish to feature. If you want to return news article results, you might specify the
News and Media folder here. If you want to return events, you might specify the
events folder here.

Click the ContentId link to find the folder you want to search through

Locate the folder in the “Areas” taxonomy tree where your content is located

Note: you can display content from multiple folders by selecting multiple areas.
Simply click the areas link at the bottom of the areas menu to add additional areas to
the query. The query will combine the results to display them.
Topics

The topics section contains the same record locator or file navigator as the areas
menu but it requires that you specify data from a different taxonomy. The topic! So
far we have programmed the module to query a specific folder, order the result a
specific way and display a certain number of results but we haven’t told the system
what subject matter we would like displayed. This is where this is done. So, click
the ContentId link and open the file navigator.

Topic selector

Find the topic you wish to display.

Note: you can display multiple topics by selecting multiple topics. Simply click the
topics link at the bottom of the topics menu to add additional topics to the query. The
query will combine the results to display them.
HTML Module Type
There really isn’t too much to say about the HTML Module type other than you must
know and use properly formatted HTML code in this section if you intend to use it.
For a good primer on basic HTML, the easy stuff, check out
http://www.w3schools.com/ It will go over the basics.

Here is what the HTML Module type configuration looks like:

Here is what a Flickr Gallery looks like using this form:

Flickr Gallery Embedded in an HTML Module Type

Connecting a Module Configuration to a Page
So, you have completed your module configuration and are eager to see it go live,
right? There is one final step to accomplish before you can do so. Connecting it to
the page.

To do this, you will need to edit the page (not the module configuration) and specify
that the page use your module configuration in the Metadata properties of the page.

Here is an example of a standard page metadata tab where you can see the option
to attach a module description:

Locating a module configuration to attach to a page

 Attaching a module configuration

Once you have done this, click PUBLISH in the content record and the module
configuration will be attached. You can now view the page on staging and see the
results of your work.
