Snippets Module and Snippet Effects

Snippets

What is a snippet?

  • This allows a user to add a part or piece of the content to be displayed on pages in a faster way.
  • The snippet can be placed anywhere on the site by using Curly Bracket, ex. {snippet_xx}
  • Every snippet will link to an internal page, a PDF (or word document) or content for the full details.

Why you would use a snippet?

If you are not familiar with code or programming this is the best tool for you to use. Snippets provide a way for you to insert ready-made code into your pages using the curly bracket. A user can display a small piece of content that can be reused throughout the site. Snippet features can also be added which give a rich functionality or user experience and interface.
