Using Modules

In Sitemonster Pro, there are two types of modules:

All page modules available in Sitemonster Pro are described in Types of Pages. For instructions on how to include special pages in your website structure, refer to Structuring Your Site.

  • Block modules. These modules do not require dedicated website pages: they are inserted into ordinary text pages, and work as embedded functional blocks. There are the following block modules in Sitemonster Pro:
    • Area Map. Allows you to include a map image of a certain location point into a website page. You can choose between two third-party GIS engines: Google Maps API and Microsoft MapPoint Web Service.
    • Feedback. Allows you to include a feedback form on your pages.
    • RSS Reader. Allows you to automatically load favorite news and information to you website from RSS news feeds (also called "channels").
    • Voting. Allows to conduct polls and online surveys.
    • Script. Allows you to add your own Javascript or HTML code to your website pages.

    Block modules are added and configured on the Edit step of the Sitemonster Pro Wizard.

General rules for working with block modules are the following:

  • You can add any number of block modules to a page.
  • To insert a block module into a page, select the module icon in the Modules area on the right, click and drag it to the page where you want to insert the module.
  • Block modules cannot be viewed directly on the Edit step. You can only configure block modules there. To preview block modules as they are displayed on your website, click Preview.

To delete a block module from the page, click Remove Module on the block module dialog box.

For details on configuring each particular module, see the corresponding sections further in this guide. The links to appropriate pages are provided near the module names in the list above.
