How to add a custom module

Adding your own functionality or styling to the newsroom

Although Presspage has great customization options, it's possible that you want to make small changes to the functionality of a module or the styling of certain aspects of the newsroom. 

For example, you could have a bit of text added to an existing module, or you could change the font size used in a module on certain pages, or hide the date on a page for some reason. For changes like these, you can use a custom module. This allows you to add HTML and CSS of your own.

Because of security reasons you're not able to add Javascript. If you need a (tracking) script added to the Newsroom, please contact Support.

To add a custom module, click on 'Newsroom' in the navigation bar.

Then, click on 'Miscellaneous' in the sidebar, and then choose 'Custom module':

You'll see a screen that explains what is possible by using a custom module. Click the green 'Add' button to add your custom module.

Fill out a title of your custom module, for example a brief description of what the code does. Choose the position of the custom module (main column or sidebar) and, depending on the module, choose to add this custom module to all articles or just one.

Of course, you'll also need to add the code. Click the 'Insert HTML' button to add HTML code. You can add inline CSS by using <style></style> tags.

Click the blue 'Save' button in the bottom right corner when you're done.
