Dynamic content

In short
  • Use it to update on your own the texts, photos, and attachments of sections already on your site, such as your rooms or an event.
  • In the menu it is under Website > Contenuti dinamici (Dynamic content).
  • The most common task: press Gestisci (Manage) next to a content item, change the text or photos, and save.

What it is​

A category of modules that lets the studio edit and save existing parts of the site through Flo.

Dynamic content is an already-planned section of the site that does not stay fixed in code, but can be updated independently by the studio. In Flo the module was previously referred to as Gallery; each entry in the list is a content item made up of:

  • name and description, with one version per active language;
  • a gallery of media (images, videos and GIFs);
  • any downloadable attachments.

When it is visible​

It is visible when the studio chooses to make parts of their site editable.

Examples​

  • Services
  • About
  • Privacy policy
  • Gallery

Main sectors​

  • Fitness
  • Real Estate
  • Enterprise
  • Studios with an updatable site or visual sections

How it works​

Open Website > Contenuti dinamici to see the list of your site’s content items.

The dynamic content list with Open day di settembre and Le nostre sale, the number of media, and the Gestisci and Elimina buttons.
Press Gestisci to edit a content item, or Crea nuovo contenuto to add one.
  • The Dynamic content page lists content items with name, description, number of media and last-modified date. The default ordering is most recent first.
  • Search filters by name and description in the selected language; in the list, the description shows the point where the search found a match.
  • Create new content creates a content item. Media is uploaded after the first save.
  • Saving immediately updates the content served to the site: dynamic content has no separate draft state.
  • If you try to leave with unsaved changes, Flo shows the "You have unsaved changes" warning with the "Discard changes" button.

Details​

  • Content name: required, one version per active language.
  • Description: formatted text editor, with images and links to attachments.
  • The language selector at the top changes the language of the fields shown.

Media​

  • Up to 50 media per content item.
  • Maximum media visible on the website: limits how many media the site shows, without limiting uploads. Leave empty to show all media.
  • Hidden media stays in Flo but is not served to the site.
  • The first media item is the main one.
  • Each media item can have a caption per language.

Details on uploading, formats and limits are in Gallery.

Attachments​

  • Formats: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ZIP, TXT, CSV.
  • Publicly visible: when enabled, attachments are visible and downloadable from the public site; when disabled they remain visible only in Flo.
  • Attachments are reordered by dragging and deleted individually.

Configuration lock​

The Flò team can lock the dynamic content configuration with Configuration complete.

  • With the lock active, content items cannot be created, deleted or renamed.
  • Editing texts, media and attachments remains available.
  • Unlocking (Configuration locked) is done by the Flò team: if you need to create or rename a content item, ask support.

Version history​

When history is enabled, each save creates a version that can be viewed and restored from the edit page. See Content history.

Difference from modules that generate new pages​

Dynamic content updates already-planned sections of the site: it does not create new pages and does not generate new URLs.

Digital growth modules, such as Blog, Properties and Catalog, instead create new publishable and indexable pages.

Best practices​

  • Use one content item per site section: do not pile different sections into the same content item.
  • Set the maximum number of media only if the site should not show everything.
  • Hide a media item instead of deleting it when you want to remove it from the site temporarily.
  • Check the selected language before saving.
