How to use the Custom Content Module?

The Webayt content management system's Custom Content Module allows you to create custom HTML content areas for your website. You can create content directly through the editor, without being limited by the areas offered by ready-made modules, and you can also use templates you create within this content.

Custom design blocks, call areas, comparison tables, information sections, and campaign areas can be created using this module.

What is the purpose of the Custom Content Module?

The Custom Content Module is used for content needs that cannot be met by ready-made modules. You can add text, images, links, tables, videos, buttons, or other HTML components in the HTML editor.

Content within this module is managed as separate records. Creating content records and adding the module to display these records on a page are different processes. In the module architecture updated with version 1.9, the same Custom Content Module can be used multiple times on a single page to display records from different groups.

How can I access the Special Content Module page?

Webayt You can access the Custom Content Module page by opening the Modules section from the left menu in the admin panel.

 Modules → Custom Content Module

This page lists custom content records. You can add new records, edit existing records, or delete them. Module placement on the pages is managed from a separate Module Management page.

Custom Content Listing Screen

On the main screen of the Custom Content Module, records are displayed in a table format. The list may include the name of the custom content, group information, record order, and processing options. From this screen, you can control which records have been created and to which groups they are associated.

On the listing screen, you can view existing custom content, create new content, edit listings, or delete them when you no longer need them.

The content records here are not automatically added to every page of the website. The areas where the records are displayed are controlled by the page's module layout and selected content groups. This keeps record creation and page design management separate processes.

How to Add New Exclusive Content?

You can use the Add Custom Content tab to create a new content record.

1. In the admin panel, go to Modules → Custom Content Module .
2. Click the Add Custom Content tab.
3. In the name field, enter a name that you can recognize in the registration panel.
4. Add the content you want to display to the Custom Content area.
5. If necessary, select a pre-prepared template from the editor.
6. In the Group Selection area, specify the group to which the record will belong.
7. If available, customize the Queue field according to your needs.
8. Save by clicking the Add button.

The saved custom content is included among the content records that the module will use. For the content to be displayed on the website, the appropriate module and group selection must be available on the relevant page.

When creating custom content, first determining the purpose for which the recording will be used, which group it will belong to, and whether it will be needed on other pages will make managing the content easier in the future.

How to Use a Namespace?

The name is used to distinguish the listing in the admin panel; it is not a title shown to visitors. You can opt for a descriptive name such as “Package Comparison”, “Homepage Double Column Area”, or “Contact Call Area”.

How to use the Custom Content Area?

Custom Content is the primary content area of the entry. It can include text, images, links, and tables, as well as HTML code and other components supported by the editor. For complex structures, ensure that HTML tags are correctly closed and that the content displays appropriately on mobile screens.

Using Templates in Custom Content

Templates created via Template Management can be used in the Custom Content Module. When a template is selected in the editor, the corresponding shortcode is added to the content field.

For example, a package comparison table or a common call field can be defined as a template and used in different custom contexts. When you update the template itself, changes can be reflected in fields that use the same template.

For information on creating and using templates, you can refer to the "How to Use Template Management" guide.

Translation and Lazy Loading in HTML Content

When preparing HTML content in the Custom Content Module, certain points should be considered to ensure that automatic translation processes work correctly and that page performance is maintained.

For detailed information on using translation tags and applying Lazy Load to images or videos, please refer to the guide "Using Translation and Lazy Load in HTML Content" .

What is the purpose of group selection?

Group Selection determines which group a custom content record will be associated with. By selecting these groups in Module Management, different sets of custom content can be displayed on different pages or in different areas of the same page.

For example, you can group the custom content you've prepared for "About Us" in one group and the content you've prepared for "Our Services" in another. Then, you can add two Custom Content Modules to the same page and select a different group for each.

For detailed information about groups, please see the How to Use Groups guide.

The Difference Between Sequence Field and Module Sequence

The Order field in custom content records can affect the order of custom content records when multiple records are displayed within the same module.

Webayt The drag-and-drop module ordering introduced with version 1.9 is a separate process. The order in which Custom Content, Sliders, or other module blocks are displayed on a page is determined by drag-and-drop in the central Module Management screen. Do not confuse the registration order with the page module order.

How to Update Exclusive Content?

To update an existing custom content, use the Edit option in the record list. After editing the Name, Custom Content, Group Selection, and Sequence (if applicable) fields, save with the Update button.

The Update screen may contain a "Lists to Update" section. This section is used to specify which language lists to update in multilingual environments. For details, please refer to the "How to Use Lists to Update" guide.

Removing Private Content

You can remove a record you no longer need using the Delete operation on the listing screen. Before deleting, check if the record is displayed on other pages or used in multiple modules. Deleting a record may also affect the content in the fields that use it.

How to use the Custom Content Module on Pages?

Creating a custom content record makes the content available in the system. The page where it will be displayed and which group of records it will use are determined via Module Management . With version 1.9, the same module type can be added to a page multiple times; if a common module needs to be used on all pages, the global module option can be utilized.

For instructions on adding modules, global usage, heading level selection, and drag-and-drop ordering, please refer to the "How to Add Modules to Pages?" guide.

What should be considered when using exclusive content?

• Set easily distinguishable record names in the administration panel.
• Ensure that the custom content HTML structure is correct and mobile-friendly.
• Evaluate the use of templates in repetitive or complex design blocks.
• Verify that the group selection in Module Management is compatible with the custom content registration.
• If you are using the same module type multiple times on the same page, check the group settings for each usage separately.
• After updating the content, check the front-end appearance; if caching is used, refresh the cache of the relevant page if necessary.

When updating custom content, especially content used across multiple pages, keep in mind that the content may also be displayed elsewhere.

Summary

The Custom Content Module (Webayt) is a module used in the content management system to create HTML-based custom content and utilize templates. Content is created through the module's own registration screen, while its placement and grouping on the page are determined via the central Module Management system.

Webayt The same Custom Content Module as in 1.9 can be used multiple times on the same page with different groups. The global module can be used for common content blocks; the order of modules on the page can be changed by drag-and-drop.
