What is the Exhibition Detail page template?
The Exhibition Detail page template determines how all exhibitions appear on your website, so you don't have to build exhibition pages one by one. The website builder pulls information from the manager side, meaning the details associated with each exhibition will automatically populate on Exhibition Detail pages.
Navigate to Website >> Pages >> Resource Templates to access the Exhibition Detail template.
After opening the Exhibition Detail template editor, ArtCloud will pull an exhibition from your account as an example. Any edits made to this page, however, will affect all exhibitions on your website. If you'd like to change the example exhibition, select "Choose Design Resource" from the Actions dropdown.
Introduction to the Exhibition Detail template
Note: The appearance of the Exhibition Detail template will vary depending on your website theme, but the template functions the same across themes.
In the Exhibition Detail template editor, you'll see an example of an exhibition page on the left and two tabs on the right: Content and Container. The Content tab houses the blocks you can use to build the template page, and the Container tab includes the blocks you can use to organize the page contents.
Basics of working on the template
The Exhibition Detail template follows the basics of the ArtCloud Website Builder:
- Drag and drop content to build a page.
- Click a block in the preview to edit or adjust its content. The dotted gray outline around the block will turn blue or purple to indicate the content under edit.
- Save changes everywhere, on the content blocks and the whole page. Saving changes to a content block will allow you to edit other content on the page, and saving the entire template will make the changes live.
What are the Content & Container blocks?
Content Blocks
The following blocks pull information directly from an Exhibition Record to the website using Tokens:
• Exhibition Title | • Installation Photos |
• Exhibition Image | • Blog (Expert Feature) |
• Exhibition Image Parallax | • Media (Expert Feature) |
• Exhibition Meta Text | • Subscribe Form (Expert Feature) |
• Exhibition Inventory | • Exhibition Artist List (Expert Feature) |
A Token pulls data from the ArtCloud Manager to ArtCloud website pages, letting you create one template that will affect many website pages.
Tokens will automatically transfer the information on an Inventory, Artist, or Exhibition Record to the website. For example, the {DESCRIPTION} Token will display an exhibition's description based on the information on the Exhibition Record.
These blocks are static, meaning the content will appear the same across all exhibition pages:
- Image
- Text
- Parallax
- Recently Viewed (Professional Feature)
Container Blocks
Container blocks help you structure the page content. After adding a Container block to the page, drag and drop the Content blocks into the container as you'd like. Here are the Container Block options:
- Columns
- Hoverable Content
- Tabs (Expert Feature)
