Tips » Add Button, Replication & Styles

When editing your site you should have noticed a small button embossed with 'ADD' and the Webjam logo. Some of you might not know what this does, or what it means. So I'm here to tell you exactly what you can do with the Webjam Add button. 

One of the core functionalities of the Webjam network is to allow its users the ability to share content effortlessly. If for example you visit one of your friend's sites on Webjam, and you like the look of something on their site, such as a widget or module, you can add it to your own site within a few clicks.

Hover over the module, and if the AddW button appears you can add it to your own site! Although note that not all networks on Webjam allow their content and modules to be used. 

 

Allowing / Not Allowing Replication.

Site owners and editors can specify which modules visitors can add to their site (replicate). To modify modules to allow/disallow replication follow these steps:

1. Log into your site

2. Click the module 'EDIT' button

3. Either check or uncheck the 'Allow replication' tick box

4. To modify the entire page's replication settings, click on the 'Settings' tab at the top of the page & a list of your pages will be displayed, select which pages you want to be replicable

 

If you do not want the add button to appear to anyone visiting your site, you must uncheck the 'Allow replication' check box in 'settings'. If you only modify individual modules, the AddW button will display on other modules.

 

Adding Modules to Your Network

So you've found something on another site and you want it on yours. The site owner of the site has allowed replication so you're good to go; all you need to do now is specify where you want to add the module:

1. Log into your Webjam account

2. Hover over the AddW button

3. Click it and a lightbox will open, displaying 'Select the networks to add this module to from the list below:'

4. Either add it to your network, or click the small + [PLUS] sign next to your network and select which page you want to add it to

5. Click 'Add to selected network' button

6. Go to your network and then adjust and reposition

Styles

You've made a great looking site, but what if you want to change it, or maybe you want your site to completely red on a Monday, yellow on a Tuesday and green on a Wednesday? How do you go about making different designs, without editing your existing style?

The easiest way to do this is the create a new network, as if it were a testing network, where you can build, design and test out widgets, different designs and functionalities of different modules.

Once you've created a new style for your site and you're ready to impress visitors with your new look, follow these steps:

1. Visit the site you want to change

2. Click the 'Styles' tab

3. Select 'My styles'

4. Click on the style you want from the list

Have a look through your site, and make sure that everything looks good, if you're not totally happy with it, no worries, click the 'Reset' button.
