Embedding a promo module


You can embed an asset's promo into the rich-text editor. The promo contains the title, description, and image from the corresponding asset's promo; you can customize those three elements inside the promo module.

To embed a promo module in the rich-text editor:

  1. Click image, and select Promo.
  2. In the Promo field, select one of the following:
    • Inline—Displays the form to allow you to create a new promo from the current page.
    • Shared—Allows you to search and insert an existing shared promo.
  3. From the Item field, select one of the following:
    • Internal, and then select an existing asset. A link to the asset appears in the promo on the front end.
    • External, and then enter a URL to a web page. A link to the page appears in the promo on the front end.
    • No Link, and then select an existing asset. The front end does not include a link to the asset.
  4. In the Anchor field, select an anchor. This is a specific area within the promo that the visitor is taken to when clicking the link.
  5. In the Target field, select one of the following:
    • Same Window/Tab—Opens the promo in the same browser window or tab when the link is clicked.
    • New Window/Tab—Opens the promo in a new browser window or tab when the link is clicked. This is the default selection when you select External in the Item field.
  6. In the Title field, enter a title, or retain the default title from the selected asset (if available).
  7. In the Description field, enter a description, or retain the default description from the selected asset (if available).
  8. In the Image Override field, you have the option to search for a new image to display on this promo, or edit the existing image on the promo. If you make no changes in this field, the image currently associated with the selected promo is displayed.
  9. In the Call to Action Button Text field, specify the text to be displayed on the button in the promo. If you do not specify text, no button is shown in the promo.

Setting the promo enhancement style

After you complete the fields for adding a promo as an enhancement in the rich-text editor, you can set the promo enhancement style. The promo enhancement style provides further control how the promo is displayed.

To set the promo enhancement style:

  1. Expand the Page Promo Enhancement Styles accordion.

    • Promo Enhancement A—Text only promo style.
    • Promo Enhancement B—Image and text promo style with the image and text both taking up 50% of the width allotted to the promo.
    • Promo Enhancement C—Image and text promo style with the image taking up 70% of the width allotted to the promo and the text taking 30%.
  3. In the Preset field, select from the following options:
    • None—The promo is placed in the center of the asset. This is the default choice.
    • Custom—You have the option to choose the alignment of the promo. Selecting this option displays the Choose Enhancement Alignment field.
      1. In the Choose Enhancement Alignment field, select from the following options:
        • Center Alignment—The promo is placed in the center of the asset. If the promo has an image, the image and the text are displayed side-by-side.
        • Left Alignment—The promo is aligned along the left margin of the asset. If the promo has an image, the text is displayed under the image.
        • Right Alignment—The promo is aligned along the right margin of the asset. If the promo has an image, the text is displayed under the image.
  4. Click Save & Close.
