This article describes the layouts, elements, and components found on the chapter page builder canvas.

Chapter Banner

Chapter banner one is a prebuilt layout that HQ admins can add to the page builder canvas. This chapter banner is split into four content containers and is meant to quickly convey details about the chapter.

• Container one includes the chapter banner image.
• Container two includes the chapter’s region information.
• Container three consists of the chapter name, chapter join (or leave) button, and chapter member count.
• Container four includes the chapter’s description, and the last container consists of the chapter share button.

Bevy recommends placing the chapter banner at the top of your chapter page design.

Three Columns

The three columns are a prebuilt layout that HQ Admins can add to the chapter page design. For each column, an image, title, body text, and button are included in the layout.

HQ Admins can adjust the spacing between and within columns with the spacing margin and gap controls. In addition, deleting addition, deleting, and duplicating actions can modify this layout to fewer or more than three columns.

Alternating

Alternating is a prebuilt layout that HQ Admins can add to the chapter page design. Like the three columns layout, alternating enables HQ Admins to pair images with content.

Bevy recommends using this layout when incorporating longer-form content on a chapter page.

Featured Video

The featured video is a prebuilt layout that HQ Admins can add to the chapter page design. Additionally, HQ Admins can embed videos from external sources via an external video link or the featured chapter video.

Quote

Statistics

Statistics is a prebuilt layout that HQ Admins can add to the chapter page design. The statistics element is an attractive way to show at-a-glance facts about an chapter.

HQ Admins can adjust the spacing between and within each statistic with the spacing margin and gap controls. In addition, deleting and duplicating actions can modify this layout to fewer or more than four statistics.

Empty Container

The empty container enables an HQ admin to create a new layout. Building the layout within a container allows the community admin to quickly move the content to different locations on the chapter page.

Social Links

Add social follow icons to a chapter page and encourage chapter members to follow the social media accounts of the chapter. When the social links element is added to the chapter page, all or some social sharing icons are displayed on the chapter page (this is dictated by the content settings configured on the chapter’s settings tab). An HQ admin cannot change the order of the social share icons, but they can change the color of the icons.

Social Share

Add social share to a chapter page and encourage members to share the chapter’s information on an external social platform. When the social share element is added to the chapter page, all or some of the share icons are displayed on the chapter page. After adding the social share element to the canvas, select the settings tab and choose the platforms where chapter members can share chapter information’s placing the chapter banner at the top of your chapter page design.

The supported platforms are:

• Copy link

• Email

• Facebook

• LinkedIn

• Pinterest

• SMS (only appears on mobile devices)

• Twitter

Kindly note that the default color for the Social Share button is transparent. You need to update it to see the share icon.

Text

Add static content to the chapter page with the text element. The static text does not automatically update on the chapter page and must be manually updated. Within the text settings, these settings can be customized:

• Text Style: In the text style drop-down, assign the body or heading style to the selected text. Heading styles 1 through 5 are supported in the page builder.
• Font: In the font drop-down, assign a specific font to the selected text. Only font styles enabled on your Bevy site will show in the list.
• Text Size: Adjust the text size of the selected text. Sizes 12 - 80 are supported in the page builder.

• Lists:  Add content to the chapter page as a bulleted or numbered list.

Video

The HQ admin can add embedded videos to any chapter page builder page with the video element. Visitors can watch the video on your chapter page without leaving the current page.

• External Video: This embeds video content from an external video platform like YouTube, Vimeo, or Vidyard using an URL.
• Featured video: This embeds video content from the chapter dashboard found in the settings. This content must also be an external URL from video platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo.

Video content can not be uploaded into Bevy.

The height of the embedded video cannot be adjusted, only the width, by setting the percentage in the video width setting.

Button

Buttons are a visual addition to your chapter page, making it easier for viewers to know where to click. Adding button(s) to the chapter page encourages viewers to engage with content further down the chapter page or other community web pages.
