Managing Default Content

What is Default Content?

Default Content is used for making mass changes to dynamic content within their specific folders (Articles, Missionaries, Projects, Children, etc.). This is helpful in a variety of situations: it allows you to customize your dynamic content, updating it all at one time, and causing any new content item to inherit your custom default settings.

Some situations to edit default content may include: setting overall Min and Max Amounts for campaigns, Start and End Dates, or setting a default image for all projects.

How do you manage default content?

• Make sure that you are logged into your SiteStacker installations
• On the 'Content Explorer' side, right-click on a folder containing the dynamic content that you wish to edit globally, and click 'Manage Default Content'
• Once you have added the desired links, amounts, names, etc. to the folder, then you have the option to 'Save & Close' or to 'Save and Overwrite':
  • The 'Save & Overwrite' option takes your new default settings and applies them to all of the content items that already exist in the folder.
  • The 'Save & Close' option will leave the already existing items the way that they were first set up, and will only apply the new settings to newly created content items.
