System pages

System pages are pages that are automatically displayed by WildApricot, or by the gadgets that appear on your site pages. They perform routine functions such as authentication and event registration.

You can customize system pages by adding gadgets to the page, or modifying existing content gadgets. For example, you can customize the event details page with side columns or gadgets such as the upcoming events gadget. Or, you could make the Page not found error page a little more interesting, and add a link to your sitemap.

Like site pages, system pages are based on page templates, and can contain layouts and gadgets. System pages do not appear on your website menu and cannot be deleted.

Modifying system pages

You can modify system pages as you would edit individual web pages. Within each system page, you can divide the page into sections by adding layouts, and insert gadgets to perform specialized functions or display custom content.

Each system page includes a system gadget that performs a critical function. You cannot directly modify or delete the system gadget, but you can modify or insert other gadgets on the system page. For example, when modifying the Terms of use system page, you can change the title and add text or other content, but you cannot directly modify the Terms of use system gadget.

To modify a system page, follow these steps:

  1. Select Website from the admin sidebar menu.
  2. Select System pages from the top menu.
  3. Select the page you want to modify from the System pages sidebar menu.
  4. Click Edit in the top left corner of the screen.
  5. Modify the page settings. For more information, see Using the content editor.
  6. Click Save.

Modifying system pages displaying blue boxes

If a system page is unable to display its content – for example, an event details page whose content would vary depending on the event – it will instead display a blue box with an explanation of the kind of content the page would normally display.

You can add your own content above, below, or beside the blue box, but take care not to add content – such as a title – that is already displayed by the system gadget.

Some system pages may display a blue box in place of content depending on the type of administrator who is currently logged in. For example, the Add member to bundle system page will display a blue box if the administrator is not a bundle administrator. Similarly, the Email member and Member public profile system pages will display blue boxes if the administrator doesn't have a public profile.

If you want to modify a system page while seeing actual data in place of the blue box, you can go to Site pages (under the Website menu) and click the appropriate menu option within the page preview to display the page containing the system page. For example, to see actual content while modifying the Blog post system page, display a page with a blog gadget then click the Add post button. You can now modify the system page with a better idea of how it will really look.

Changing the page template

Like site pages, system pages are based on page templates. Within the page settings editor, you can choose a different page template from the Page template drop-down list.

System gadget settings

Using the system gadget's settings, you can control its appearance. To display the system gadget settings, position your pointer over the system gadget then click the settings icon.

Within the Advanced section, you can enter CSS code or classes to further control the appearance and behavior of a gadget. You can also use CSS in the same way to control the appearance of layouts and placeholders. To display the advanced settings, click the triangle beside the Advanced heading.
