Creating an Event Banner

Creating an Event Banner is really easy.  A banner image allows you to upload a picture to represent what you want to announce and allows you to make that image a link to another spot on this website or another website. For example, if you want to advertise an event that is listed in the calendar, you would first go to that calendar entry and copy the URL (http://www.heritage-cc.org/events/your event ) and then when creating the Banner Event, you past that into the Link Path .

You will see the image just above the podcast image on the front page and it will be the same size as the podcast image.

Text/Image

To add a special event that has text and a picture (an image is required), click on Staff Resources --> Create Content --> Add a Banner Event.

  1. Add an Image Title
  2. Choose and image and click the upload button
  3. Add the link path - This is where you past the URL of your website or event.
  4. Ministries - choose the ministry you want the banner to show up on. For the front page, select Church Wide (bottom of list).
  5. Add a short message about the event (optional - if the image is not descriptive enough)
  6. The sort order is used to determine what image shows up when the page first loads (if there are multiple banner ads), but all the images will rotate through

Click save and you should see this appear in the rotation.

 

To remove a Banner Event from the rotation, when it appears on the front page, click on the delete or view button. Delete removes it from the website and view allows you to unpublish it or modify the entry.
