Sponsor


This topic explains how to create a sponsor in Brightspot.

To create a sponsor:

  1. In the header, click add.
  2. From the Create list, select Sponsor.
  3. Using the following table as a reference, complete the fields as needed.
  4. Complete your site's workflow and publish the sponsor.

After you save your sponsor, you can use it in assets such as articles, galleries, and listicles.

Field Description
Display Name Enter a display name. This name is not visible to the visitors to your site.
Internal Name Enter an internal name for this asset. Brightspot uses this name internally, such as in the search panel and recent activity widget. This name is not visible to visitors to your site.
Logo Click search and select an image. This image is visible to visitors to your site.
Sponsor Link Select None, Internal or External.



  • None—No sponsor is displayed.
  • Internal—A sponsor link is displayed. In the Item field, select the asset that the sponsor wants visitors to view when clicking on the link.
  • External—A sponsor link is displayed. In the URL field, enter the URL that the sponsor wants visitors to view when clicking on the link.




Using the Sponsor Link Advanced tab





When setting up an internal or external sponsor link, you have the option to set how the link will behave.









External—Advanced tab



  • Target—Specify whether the sponsor link's target should open in New Window/Tab or Same Window/Tab.




Internal—Advanced tab



  • Target—Specify whether the sponsor link's target should open in New Window/Tab or Same Window/Tab.
  • Anchor—If the asset you are linking to has anchors present, such as a page with tabs, you can select items within the tabs to which to anchor. Then when your visitors click the sponsor link, they are taken directly to that anchor.

The following illustration shows just one example of how Brightspot renders a sponsor in an article.
