Page Editor and Modules

How the Page Editor and Modules Work Together

Our content management system integrates two primary components to help you build dynamic web pages: the Flexible Content Editor and the WYSIWYG editor, which includes module shortcodes.

Step 1: Define Content Sections

Begin by setting the layout of your page using the Flexible Content Editor. This powerful tool allows you to:

Adjust page rows and columns
Create custom content blocks
Establish the overall page structure

Step 2: Edit Content with WYSIWYG

After establishing your page layout, use the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor to populate your content blocks. This editor functions similarly to a standard word processor, providing familiar editing tools.

Content Types

Static Content

Many content blocks will contain static elements such as:

Body copy
Standalone images
Text styling and formatting
Image alignment and sizing

Dynamic Content with Module Shortcodes

For specialized functions and features, you'll use module shortcodes. These are instruction sets that tell a content block how to behave and what information to retrieve based on the selected module and category.

Example: CTA Module

A Call-to-Action (CTA) module demonstrates how shortcodes can transform a static block into an interactive, functional element across both the backend (epicPlatform) and frontend (live website).
