Auto-Expand Rule
Expanding pages is a facility to increase object availability when a page starts to fill up. When a page expands, an identical page is published and made available at the same web address. Visitors can navigate between pages numbers (1,2,3... etc.) and contributions are linked to the specific page/object. The Auto-Expand Rule defines the conditions when a page should automatically expand, so you never need to worry about running out of objects or having to expand a page manually.
Rule settings
From Page Settings, select which object groups to include in the rule and choose whether the system should automatically expand when ALL or ANY of these object groups become unavailable.
If you do not want your page to expand automatically in any condition, deselect all object groups from the rule.
Manually expanding pages
If you prefer to manually expand a published page to increase object availability, click Expand in the sub-menu from Page Settings.
Features & behaviour
- Navigation - Visitors arriving at a page using the standard web address, will be taken to the first page where there is at least one object available. They can also navigate expanded pages by clicking a page number from the menu.
- Finding available objects - If a supporter clicks to find an object that is unavailable on the page they are currently viewing, they will be automatically navigated to a page where it is available.
- Unified message search - When a visitor searches for a message, they will see results from all expanded pages.
- Total raised - If you are displaying the total raised on a page, this will represent the sum of all expanded pages.
- No additional costs - Expanding pages is a free facility. For example, is does not incur any costs to expand a page even if you have paid for an upgrade.
