Support Manual / Site Specific Help / Ad Module How To's

There is an area designed just for this.  It is located here for the E-Commerce Module:

YourDomain.com > Modules > Ecommerce: Products (mX) > Downloadable products

You will need to then choose the folder in which you have placed the downloadable content.

Then choose the duration for which you want the link to be valid for so that the file can be downloaded.

And the last option that you will need to select is which page will the users be guided to once the link has expired. This can be any page on the site or you can create one specifically for this.

There is an area designed just for this.  It is located here for the E-Commerce Module:

YourDomain.com > Modules > Ecommerce: Products (mX) > Notifications

and here for the AD Module:

YourDomain.com > Modules > Ad: Ads (mX) > Notifications

Enabling this feature will send an automated email to all of the members in the Membership Module associated with your AD or E-Commerce module (whichever you are setting up) with the exception of those "opted out".

You can customize how the email will appear in this area.

There is a "header" & "Footer" area.  This will allow you to have the same header and footer regardless of what items are included in the message.

See an example of a header here:

You can see the header here with the logo, and other info.  That information will get sent every time.  The products in the list will change.  (the notification will include only newly added items)

Now on the Bottom here are the links that are the footer.  This area will be included in every message sent out as well.

There are some settings here for the E-Commerce module that allow you to choose:

"Send Notifications on New Products" will enable this feature.
"Periodicity". - this determines how frequent your message will go out.

"Included Categories". - this allows you to select the categories of products included in your "new items" notification.

You can also choose to ignore a specific "product type."

see screenshot:

For the AD module the "General Settings" area looks like this:

Choosing "Send Notifications on New Items" will enable this feature on your AD module.

Periodicity - is how often this notice will go out.

"Included Categories". - this allows you to select the categories of ADs included in your "new items" notification.

"Only in Customer's Region" - will narrow down ADs that are close to the customer.  The next two fields help dermine what the "region" is.

"Zip code Field" - this allows you to choose a field that you have that tells the system what the Zip code field is.

"Max Distance" - Determines how far away to include in the customers "region".

You can adjust the layout of your Products/ADs Notification and what all is included in this email.  

See screenshot:

"Product List Page for Category Links" tells the system where to send users that click on a Category link from the notification.

"Product Detail Page" - This tells the system what page you want to use as the product details page, when user clicks on a specific product from the notification.

"Number of Columns" - Will determine how many columns of products are shown in your notification

"Row Separator" - adds a line in between Rows to distinguish between products

"Column Separator" - adds a line in between columns to distinguish between products

"Max number of Products" - This determines how many products will be included in your email.

Clicking the "Customize Product List Layout" button will open up a window that allows you to customize your layout, similar to the layout builder found on your product pages.

You can Choose the Fields that you wish to display, and how much room you would like them to take up.

When you click on "Test Notification" it will send a copy of this notification to the email address specified in the "my Profile" area.

And you can also post to FaceBook.  It will post a notice on your Wall that is setup in the "Social Media Integration" area.

You can customize the notifications the system sends for each module.

This Answer will discuss:

• Notifications
• Mailer Variables (and other variables)

To access the area where you can customize your notifications you will need to go to the membership module that corresponds with the module you wish to customize.  For example, if you want to update your blog notifications you will need to go to the "Mailer" area that connects to your blog module. Like this: YourDomain.com > Modules > Membership: Blog (mX) > Mailer

Once you are in the "Mailer" area, you will need to click on the "topics" area next to the "System messages" for the module your are looking to customize.

Once you have clicked on "topics" you will be able to edit any of the individual notifications that go out automatically.

On this screen you can choose from the drop down list what Module you wish to add.  This list is limited by the website package you purchased.

To make your ADs searchable you will need an "ad module search box frame" and a results page that contains an "AD List" frame that is configured to be "search results". (to display the search results)

Here is a quick video on how to add a "search Box Frame".

Here is a quick video on how to add an "Item list" frame.  Be sure to configure it to search results.

First to make a search results page.  You may want to create a blank page for this and name it "search results".

See screenshot:

Next Change the module to "Ad: Module" and Frame type to "Item list"(in the picture below it does say "answer list" that is only because I have told my module to treat "items" as "answers").

See screenshot:

When you hit "save" it will take you to the frame settings of your item list page.  This is where you can tell your item list to be a "Search results" page.  The rest of the options on this page are for cosmetic changes with how things are displayed.  How you want this layed out is up to you, based on your needs. :)

See Screenshot:

Then click "save".

Next to add your search box frame you will want to go to the page, and area where you want the search box frame to appear.  Then click on an empty frame and click the "Change Frame type" icon on the content toolbar.

See Screenshot:

Next, change the frame type to "Ad: Module", Frame type "Full Text Search Box".

See Screenshot:

Next you can configure your search box's settings.  These settings could be different for everyone.  They are based on things you need to determine for your site.  Like:

1. How do I want the my search box to look? ( do I want a very simple search box or a more advanced search box with more search options available to the user)

2. What search mode will be best for the contents of my site?

    A. "Search for Phrase" means that if you search for the term " brown teddy bear" and you have an item called  "brown teddy bear" it will be found.  However if your item is called "teddy bear" or "brown bear" it WILL NOT be found.  Because the term used to search is "brown teddy bear" all of those words need to appear in your item in that order.

    B. "Search for all words" means that with the example above "brown teddy bear" will find your item if all of those words exist in any order in the item.  So if you have a description that reads something like "we sell teddy bears, in all colors.  Brown, Blue, Yellow.  This search option WOULD find your item with this search term.  But would not find it if you only have 1 or 2 of the words in the searched term.  If someone were to search for "brown teddy bear" and your item only has the words "brown" and "Bear" then your item would not show up in the results.

    C.  "Search for any word" means just that. :) if ANY of the words searched exist in a product it will find them.  If "brown teddy bear" is searched, all items with each of those words will show up in the result.

Also, there is an option for "whole words only".  This setting will force a search of the EXACT words searched.  So if your item is called "brown teddy bears" and someone searches for "brown teddy Bear" it would not be found if "whole words only" is checked.  Because the "S" is not a part of the searched term.

This can be complicated, so sometimes it is best to simply test it out on your site with different search terms and see what works best for you.  Or speak with a tech support rep for a recommendation for your site.

This area is also where you specify a search results page.  If you do not have an "ad:item list" frame set to "affected by search" then your drop down box will show "NONE".
