To configure a contact form, login to your admin section, click the dropdown "Add-on Modules" menu in the top menu of your admin section and choose "Contact Form".

Selecting "Contact Form" will bring up a dialog box which enables you to set all of the necessary parameters for your form.

Check the boxes of the fields you would like to include. (The "Verification Code" field asks the visitor to copy a random set of letters or numbers. This helps insure that the form is filled out legitimately and not by a spammer or automated software.) By default the form information will be sent to the default email address that has been set in the website "Config" section. To send the information to a different address, enter that address in the "E-mail Address" field. Click the "Save changes" button when all information has been entered. A preview of the form can be seen at the bottom of the page.

*Note: Only one email address can be used at one time. Contact form information cannot be sent to multiple addresses.

*Note 2: The Contact Form module is available with all hosting packages, including the free websites.

*Tip: Spam is a big problem these days and one way spammers like to send spam is using software to search the internet looking for forms. The software then fills out the form with the spam message and submits it. Using the "Verification Code" option in the contact form, prevents spam software from being able to submit their spam through your contact form. We highly recommend using the verification code option.

The Fan Box is a Facebook Connect-enabled social widget that Page owners can add to their websites to allow users to fan and view the accompanying Facebook Page stream. With the Fan Box, brands can bring content from their Facebook Page into their website and help convert website visitors into Facebook fans. Users can view the most recent posts from the Page, see a list of other fans (including their friends), and, most importantly, become a fan without leaving the site. Additionally, if a user visits the site and isn't logged in to Facebook, the user can log in and become a fan directly inline as well."

To setup a Fanbox, login to your admin section, click the dropdown "Add-on Modules" menu in the top menu of your admin section and choose "Facebook Fanbox."

You can add the Fanbox module to any page using the "Insert Module" feature when editing a page. OCC recommends that this type of module be inserted in the sidebar for those sites with editable sidebars. With the module in the sidebar, visitors can view it on every page. For more information about how to insert a module, please see the "Modules: Insert a Module" help page.

*Note: The Fanbox module is available with all hosting packages, including the Gold, Silver, Bronze, Starter, and Free packages.

**Also Note: The Facebook module is for use with an organization's Facebook Page not a personal profile.

Basic configuration for the Facebook Fanbox (including Facebook ID and URL) can be found by clicking the "Add-On Modules" tab and choosing "Facebook Fanbox". The basic configuration can be summarized as follows:

In addition to adding a module to an existing page as described above, you can also have a module automatically installed when you create a page.  To do this, select the module you wish inserted into the page in the “Page Type” drop-down menu when Adding a New Page.  This will save you the step of having to add the module yourself.

To configure the "Local Weather" feature login to your admin section, click the dropdown "Add-on Modules" menu in the top menu of your admin section and choose "Local Weather".

Configuration - Choose a city and state to setup your local weather tool. The weather tool will display the current conditions and a small forecast for your area.

Note: Certain modules are only available with certain hosting packages and may require an upgrade before use.

The sitemap is a useful feature for two reasons. First, it is handy for helping your visitors to find pages quickly and to see how the topics relate to one another. Second, the sitemap is an easy and effective tool for enhancing search engine ratings for your website.

It is advisable to place the sitemap module on a page of its own due to the potential for taking up a lot of space. The sitemap is designed to instantly display a "Table of Contents" for your webiste in an easy-to-ready tree structure that will show main pages and sub-pages. As pages are added or deleted, the sitemap will automatically update.

You can add the Sitemap module to any page using the "Insert Module" feature when editing a page. For more information about how to insert a module, please see the "Modules: Insert a Module" help page.

*Note: The Sitemap module is available with all hosting packages, including the free websites.

To configure the "Tell a Friend" feature login to your admin section, click the dropdown "Add-on Modules" menu in the top menu of your admin section and choose "Tell a Friend".

Configuring the "Tell a Friend" module involves setting up options and default messages. Check the box next to the options desired at the top of the page.

• Message Preview - This setting allows the sender to preview/edit the message before it is sent.
• Comment - This allows the visitor to add their own comment to the message.
• Subject Preview - The Subject Preview allows the sender to preview and edit the subject before the message is sent.
• Send a copy - This setting allows the visitor to request to have a copy of the message sent to them.
• Notice - This allows the webmaster to be notified when the "Tell a Friend" module has been used.
• Confirmation Code - The Confirmation Code requires the sender to fill in a random set of letters/numbers before sending the message. (This is meant to stop spammers and automated software.)

The form that is used to "tell a friend" contains a default subject, message, and message footer. While the NE1 Web Builder provides a suitable default subject, message, and footer, you are also able to edit these elements.

Message Tags - The contents of the subject, message, and footer fields include "tags". The tags are used to make the default message more personal. The tags replaced by the information the visitor enters into the form, like the recipients name, your web page's Title and address. For example, the {friend} tag is replaced by the "Friend's name:" field on the form. If you decide to customize the message, it's a good idea to include the tags so the message will be personalized and include the necessary website information.

Click the "Save changes" button to save the edits and settings. Check the "Restore Default Settings" checkbox when the original messages are preferred.

General Info:

Options are given for each user so that responsibilities can be limited by assigned pages. Click the pages that the user is allowed to edit - as many pages as necessary. Then, click the modules that the user will have access to. Note that in most cases modules would be handled by the site administrator and would not be necessary for additional users. Finally, click the Actions that will be allowed for the user.

This module is a great way to allow others to be allowed in the design of your site, without handing out administrator passwords or otherwise lessening the security of the site.

RSS content can be read using software called an RSS reader. The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it  finds. Internet Explorer users view feeds on the Feeds tab in the Favorites Center. To view your  feeds, click the Favorites Center button, and then click Feeds. Internet Explorer also provides the Common Feed List to other programs. This allows you to subscribe to feeds with Internet Explorer and read them in other programs, such as e-mail clients.

Like a newsletter, the RSS feature is a great way to keep in contact with visitors, keep them up-to-date, and get them to return to your  website. If you use the News or Blog  modules, encourage visitors to use the RSS feature.

Within the NE1 web builder, the RSS module can be configured using the "Add-On Modules" tab at the top of the webmaster page. By clicking the "Add New RSS Chanel" button, you are free to add as many RSS feeds as you like. The feeds can then be inserted on any page in the same manner as any module is inserted.
