Social media links

Details

If your club has social media accounts, enter the club's social media page links in the relevant fields.

Social media link settings

You can add other social networking sites in the larger field, if you have ones that aren't on the list above. Make sure that you have all the details of one site on one line only. 

There are large number (over 100) of social media icons already stored on the FreeToastHost server and the system knows how to match them up with the appropriate social media URLs.  In most cases, you will only need to type a list of social media URLs in the larger text field, one per line, and FreeToastHost will sort out which icon to use for you.  However, if it fails to match the URL correctly (e.g., you see the default green share icon) or if you want to use a different icon, you can upload your icon using the Upload Icon button and put your icon's URL after your social media page URL, separated by a comma.

For example, both of the following URL formats are fine.  FreeToastHost would try to find an appropriate icon for URL #2 below from its supply of icons:

URL #1, icon URL #1
URL #2

Custom social media settings

 

Login details/notes is for recording information that the next administrator will need.

 

When you save, the icons will show up in a section just below the Members Only menu. They link directly to your club's social media pages.

There are two forms for contacting the club directly from the website. The Contact form allows a member of the public to get in touch with the club, while the Mentoring form is for members only.

Contact form

Contact form redirects can be set by officer role OR by member name.

Setting club contacts for the "Contact Us" form

 

Enable/disable This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. email address. This is a publicly accessible email address and sometimes is the target of spam. If you're getting a lot of spam, you might want to turn this address off entirely.

Contact form greeting and closing settings

Contact form greeting and closing

This setting allows you to personalise the greeting and closing to suit your club.

 

Saving information entered in the form

If you enable this setting, the system stores the person's details in a group, which saves having to add them manually later on.

If the person leaving the message has not clicked the "opt in" box on the contact form, their details won't be recorded.

Saving contact info to a list

 

Creating a link to your form

At the top of the Contact Us Form setup tab, there is a NOTE: that shows you how to link directly to your Contact Us form from any other page.

Linking to Contact Us form

In the screenshot above, it shows "xxxxx.toastmastersclubs.org". If you go to the same place in your club website, you will see the real link that you should use, with your club alias replacing the xxxxx. Use this text in the URL field when you create the link on your page. 

 

Mentoring form

This setting selects the person to whom the email gets sent. This is usually the VP Ed, but may be another officer or a specific member if necessary.

 

Access to Assign Mentors tools

Click on the box (arrowed) and save if the person who is handling mentor/mentee requests doesn't otherwise have access to Membership Management.

Give access to mentor management area

This gives them access to the Assign Mentors tools only, not the whole Membership Management area.

A way to get a guest's or member's attention with a brief message

You can enter messages that appear at the top of the browser window for both members and guests (two different messages). These messages show up only once per session – so as to not annoy members and guests.

Floater message

 Floater messages can contain more than one link. The link will appear in a different colour, as in the screenshot above. In this case, the link goes to the meeting info / directions page, but it can go to a link on another site if you wish.

 

Floater message editing tab

Editing of floater messages uses an extremely simplified form of the page editor, which allows for some basic styling plus creating links.

Remember to SAVE when you've finished.

 

If access to website settings has been delegated to one or more officers, those officers will be able to edit the floater messages.
