E-mail - Social media in footer
E-mail - Social media in footer
Updated over a week ago

Every e-mail template in your Carerix system contains a "header" and a "footer". Both header and footer is configured centrally. The header contains information about fonttype and style. The footer contains contact information. It is also possible to insert your social media pages like "LinkedIn" and "Facebook" in the footer through icons. On this page you can read how to configure this in your own Carerix system:

Method

1. Adding Label URL's

  1. Log in as Administrator;

  2. Go to Maintenance | Tables;

  3. Open the table 'Label URL';

  4. Click [New];

  5. Fill in the fields:
    - Dutch: the label you want to give it, for example Facebook;
    - URL-type: the tag you want to give it. Choose from Facebook, Hyves, LinkedIn, Xing or own Website
    - Protocol: fill in: http://

  6. Click [Save] to save the item.

2. Insert adresses

The icons will only be visible when a personal adress to your social media page is inserted. How to put your own social media pages. Configure your own social media adresses as follows:

  1. Log in on Carerix and go to "My information"

  2. Scroll downwards to the input fields of the phonenumbers

  3. Click on the drop down where you can select website adresses

  4. Select the Label (par example Facebook) which you added in your footer

  5. Place in the blank field the URL adress of your personal page

  6. Click on the green plus sign just next to the input fields when you want to insert more than one page

  7. Choose [Save]

Hint: You can generate only 1 icon per label. Thus it is not possible to place two adresses in your footer.

3. Edit the HTML code

  • Copy the HTML code below to a texteditor like notepad.

<cx:let name="urlsByDataNodeID" value="$activity.owner.urls.@group.toUrlLabel.value.description">

<cx:if condition="$urlsByDataNodeID.Label_item.url.@first<>nil">
<a href="http://<cx:write value='$urlsByDataNodeID.Label_item.url.@first'/>">
<img src="URL van het Icoon" border="0"></a> </cx:if>

</cx:let>

The code above is not jet ready, some justifications need to be done

  1. Go to: Maintenance | Tables

  2. Select Table Label URL (or URL label) and choose "Search". Now you can see all available sources

  3. Replace the word Table_item in the code with the name of the label which you want to insert with the label in your footer.

  4. Replace the word URL of the icon in the code with the address where you located the icons. 

You can also use our standard icons:

If you want to insert multiple social media pages, you must extend the HTML code this way:

<cx:let name="urlsByDataNodeID" value="$activity.owner.urls.@group.toUrlLabel.value.description">

<cx:if condition="$urlsByDataNodeID.Facebook.url.@first<>nil">
<a href="http://<cx:write value='$urlsByDataNodeID.Facebook.url.@first'/>">
<img src="http://templates.carerix.com/images/footer/Facebook.gif'" border="0"></a> </cx:if>

<cx:if condition="$urlsByDataNodeID.Label_item.url.@first<>nil">
<a href="http://<cx:write value='$urlsByDataNodeID.Label_item.url.@first'/>">
<img src="URL van het Icoon" border="0"></a> </cx:if>

</cx:let>
