March 23, 2020 Category: Learning, Modules

Is your Virteom powered website utilizing the Masonry Photo Module? Adding new photos to your gallery is really simple and even allows you to upload multiple images at one time. The one real advantage of using the masonry module is so that you can display images in groupings or categories on a singular webpage. This allows you to separate images out into different galleries so like photos can appear together. For example: Say you're a landscaper and you have a webpage entitled "Hardscapes". You may want to output multiple galleries on this single page to break out each type of hardscape you've done: walkways, patios, pergolas, steps, fire pits, etc. The masonry photo module allows you to accomplish this. You can set multiple categories, and multiple galleries in that one category - all to output on one single webpage. In this how-to article, we explain how to add a new category, add a new gallery, edit an existing category, edit an existing gallery (adding images to an existing gallery), and how to delete categories, galleries, and images in the Masonry Photos module powered by RocketSites. Logging-In First things first, you must log-in to your Virteom powered website. You can do this by visiting your website and adding /virteom at the end. This will take you to the log-in screen for the site. Enter your email address in the email field Enter your password in the password field Click 'Login' Navigate to the Masonry Grid

How to Create Private Pages with Virteom

August 21, 2019 Category: How To

Websites make it easy to get your business information out to the online community, but after building websites for 20+ years, we've learned that sometimes you don't want every page on your website accessible to the general public. Which is why RocketSites offers the ability to create private pages that are only accessible to a designated person/company. Why would you want to use private webpages? Private webpages are used for a number of reasons. Our clients have used private pages for promotions in email campaigns, as a document center, for quote calculators, you name it. Private pages really come in handy! Private pages also allow you to essentially have a draft of the webpage you're creating without it being accessible to the general public. Whatever the use case, Virteom Rocketsites makes it easy to mark a page as 'private' and set permissions for the users you want to have access. In this how-to guide, we'll explain how to create a new page, mark it as private, create a new member, and give access to the user.  Keep reading to learn how to mark pages as private in RocketSites.
