Each event guide requires a category, title, content type, and content. You also have the option to add a custom icon. Guides publish instantly on save.
Common Fields (All Content Types)
- Go to Dashboard > Content > Event Guide.
- Click Add New. The Add Event Guide modal opens.
- Select a Category (mandatory) — choose from the dropdown or click Add a Category to create a new one.
- Enter a Guide Title (mandatory) — a clear, descriptive title. Character limit counter shown (max 35 characters visible in counter).
- Select Content Type (mandatory) — choose one of:
- Text — for rich text articles
- Docs — for file uploads
- Page — for web links
- Add content based on the type (see below).
- Add a Guide Icon (optional):
- Upload an image — drag and drop or click to browse. JPEG only, max 5MB, minimum 84x84 pixels.
- Or select from the Icon Library — click "Icon Picker" to browse Font Awesome icons.
- Click Save.
Multi-Language Support
Title and Content fields support multi-language input. Use the language selector to enter translations in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, or Dutch.
Creating a Text Guide
Text guides display formatted articles directly in the app.
- Select Text as the content type.
- A rich text editor (TinyMCE) appears with toolbar options: Undo/Redo, Bold, Italic, Underline, Link insertion, HTML source code view (<> button).
- Write and format your content in the editor.
- Click Save.
Notes:
- Character limits apply — a counter is shown.
- Avoid pasting directly from Word — paste as plain text first to prevent hidden formatting issues.
- The editor validates by stripping HTML tags and whitespace — your content must have actual text, not just empty formatting.
Creating a Document Guide (File Upload)
Document guides let you upload files for attendees to view or download.
- Select Docs as the content type.
- A file upload area appears — drag and drop files or click to browse.
- Upload up to 10 files per guide. All file types are accepted.
- Uploaded files appear in a list with their filename and a delete button to remove individual files.
- At least 1 file is required before you can save.
- Click Save.
Notes:
- All file types are accepted — not just PDF.
- Special characters in filenames are automatically replaced with underscores during upload.
- To replace a file after publishing, edit the guide, delete the old file, and upload the new one.
Creating a Web Link Guide
Web link guides open an external URL when tapped.
- Select Page as the content type.
- A Web Link field appears.
- Enter the full URL including https:// or http://.
- The system validates the URL format — if invalid, an "Invalid URL" error message appears.
- Click Save.
Important: If you change the content type dropdown (e.g., from Text to Docs), the content field is cleared. Make sure you have selected the correct type before entering content.
