Add, move and arrange blocks
Templates and the editorBlocks are the elements of a template: prayer times, images, logos, text, shapes and the donate button. You add new blocks on the Main page. On the donation pages, the structure is fixed.
Adding a block
- Step 1: Click Blocks on the left.
- Step 2: Click the block you want. It appears on the canvas.
| Group | Blocks |
|---|---|
| Prayer times | Countdown, Prayer card, Board |
| Images & logos | Image area, Single image, Logo bar |
| Donations | Donate button, QR code |
| Shapes | Rectangle, Circle, Line |
You can find a block by its name using the search field.
Text
Under Text, you'll find Heading, Subheading and Paragraph. Below them are ready-made styles such as Overline, Notice, Quote and Large time. You change the wording on the right under Content. That's also where you set the font, font size, alignment and text colour.
Images
- Step 1: Click Images on the left.
- Step 2: Click Upload or drag an image onto the field. PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF files of up to 10 MB are supported. The image appears on the page straight away.
- Step 3: All uploaded images are kept in your community's Media library. One click inserts one of them.
If an image area or a logo bar is selected, the image goes there instead of freely onto the canvas.
Moving and resizing
- Drag an element into place with the mouse. You resize it by its corners.
- Enter exact values on the right under Position & size. There you can also align the element to an edge or centre it. Full screen makes it as large as the page.
Order, layers and locking
- On the right under Actions, you'll find Duplicate, Bring to front, Send to back and Delete.
- On the left under Layers, you'll find all the elements on the page. There you can hide an element or lock it so that it doesn't move by accident.
Main page background
Click the area next to the page or press Esc so that nothing is selected. You can then set the Background image and Background colour on the right.
