Adding Progrming to Your Web Pages
Adding Programs to
Pages
We have many programs and
features available for you to use on your website. To include a
program simply type the "Inclusion Code"
associated with that program into any page when editing the page.
If, for example, you want to add the Photo
Slideshow to your website, simply click on the Edit Pages icon at
the top, find the page on which you want the Photo Slideshow to
appear and click on Edit. Type in (or paste) the following page
into the editor: %%include-autoslide%%. Save your page. NOTE: some programs require configuration before
they will work correctly. The Photo Slideshow, for
example, requires that you add pictures to the slideshow. You
must configure the program. If you need help, please call
us or e-mail us.
Below are the programs
currently available and the code to add them to your page.
CODES
ARE CASE SENSITIVE!
Correct
code: %%include-calendar%%
Wrong

Notice the capitalization in the second

error in your page rather than displaying the working page. Click here to learn more about using inclusion codes.
