Contest List & Program Schedule List Layouts Coming May 5th!

By Kat (SoCast) Apr 24, 2020 | 11:12 AM

Hello,

We’re happy to announce that layouts are coming to both the Contest List Element and Program Schedule List Element May 5th 2020! As a result of significant SoCast user feedback, we’ve invested the time and attention to making these elements easier to customize.

These updates are part of our larger goal of delivering more customization options to tailor your brand to your content and audience, leading up to the release of a new website theme later this year.

The new update will include similar layouts you’ve already been using in the Blog & News List element.

Contest List Layouts

Moving forward the following layouts will be available for the Contest List Element:

  • Horizontal Display
  • Vertical Display
  • Compact Display
  • Compact Image Overlay
  • Image Overlay
  • Hero Image Overlay
  • Card
  • Compact Card

Contest List Notes:

New widget features will include: Contest Summary Length, ‘Extra Class Name’ for CSS styling and Minimum Column Width.

Pagination will no longer be an option, the widget will either display the specified number, or display all.

Program Schedule List Layouts

Moving forward the following layouts will be available for the Contest List Element, and the Program Schedule List Element:

  • Horizontal Display
  • Vertical Display
  • Compact Display
  • Compact Image Overlay
  • Card
  • Compact Card
  • Image Overlay

Program Schedule Notes:

New widget features will include: Program Description Length, ‘Extra Class Name’ for CSS styling, Display Program Time, and Minimum Column Width.

Also new to the program schedule tool will be the ability to set “overnight times”.  You will still need to create 2 time slots in the platform, however it will display as 1 time slot on the front-end.

1. When a program is the same time everyday including weekends, it will display as Everyday 10AM-5PM in the layout

2. When a program is the same time everyday during the week (i.e Mon-Fri) it will display as Weekdays 10AM-5PM in the layout

3. When a program is the same time on just the weekends (i.e Sat-Sun) it will display as Weekends 10AM-5PM in the layout

Pagination will no longer be an option, the widget will either display the specified number, or display all.

For a live example of the layouts, please visit this page: https://d1698.cms.socastsrm.com/blog-widget-layouts. In the example shown, we’re using them for blogs/new stories, but the design and layout will be similar for the contest list and program schedule.

Thanks,

The SoCast Team
