For Commissioners > Setup > Appearance Setup > Home Page Setup


 

This screen is always available for commissioners to set a default for the league.  In addition, if the commissioner enabled this capability for owners via Abilities Setup, each owner may define their own home page setup.  Also, if an owner-customized home page needs to be restored to the league's default setup, then either (1) the owner can remove all home page modules and save changes, or (2) the commissioner can remove the owner's home page customization ability in the Abilities Setup screen.

 

In general, this screen offers the ability to further customize the appearance of the home page by specifying which system modules to include/exclude as well as define the order of those modules.  The site currently offers more than 60 of these modules for your home page.

 

Select Tab To Edit - By default, you're editing the "Main" tab.  However, you can create as many new tabs as you'd like for your league home page, giving each a name.  Those tabs will allow owners to see more content on your league home page without having to scroll down to the bottom of the page.  Also, you can later delete a tab if you'd like.

 

Available Modules - This window lists the modules currently not displayed on the league home page. 

 

Currently Used Modules - This window lists the modules that are currently defined for display on the league home page.

 

Set Module Width - While each module defaults to wide (single column format) or narrow (dual column format), any module's width can be overridden by selecting the appropriate radio button prior to clicking on the 'Add To List' button.

 

Add To List - Select a module from the Available Modules window and click on this button to move it to the Currently Used Modules window.

 

Remove From List - Select a module from the Currently Used Modules window and click on this button to remove it from the home page and return it to the Available Modules window.

 

Move Up - Highlight a module and click on this button to raise it to a higher location in the list and therefore a higher location on the home page.

 

Move Down - Highlight a module and click on this button to drop it to a lower location in the list and therefore a lower location on the home page.

 

Stacked vs. Multi-Column - By default, the system will support one column of "stacked" modules using either the narrow or wide format.  Modules are either narrow or wide in size and appear with the "(N)" and "(W)" notation after their listing.  A wide module will take up the entire width of the home page whereas two narrow modules if placed in succession will combine to take up the entire width of the home page.

 

Reset To System Default - Click on this link AND the Save Home Page Setup to revert the current modules back to the initial set defined at league creation.

 

However, you can also use an alternate multi-column format to create two or more columns on your home page and place any modules in each column.  In order to use this feature, you must first click on the "multi-column" link.  Next, you will need to define at least two columns, each with a corresponding width. 

 

Disclaimer: The column width percentages are treated by web browsers as a guideline, and depending on your web browser and the actual contents of each column, those percentages may not be adhered to very closely for you.

 

When finished, you MUST click on the Save Home Page Setup button in order to apply your changes.

 

 

"Embeddable" Modules

 

For even greater flexibility in designing your own, custom web site, most of the home page modules can placed (embedded) into your own custom web pages.  To learn more about this feature, see this page.
