Introduction
Using Sitely
Elements
How to
Sitely's On Click inspector allows you to add a link or action to any text, image, button, menu item or group.
By default the option is set on "Do Nothing”, but it can be set to a number of options, that are the same across all elements that have the “On Click” action. Images and buttons have additional options, check the respective documentation pages.
Go to Page in This Website
Sitely knows about all the pages in the site, so it makes it really quick to pick one as a link destination. One additional refinement is picking a location in the page, so that when the user clicks on the link the browser will smoothly scroll to the selected location.
Scroll locations can be created by selecting “New Scroll Location…” or by adding a new one to the page by picking the “Scroll Location” element in the elements panel. Another way to have specific scroll points in a page is to add a name to the Scroll Location setting on a Layout Block.
Go to External Link
The is the most general form of link, where you enter a web address (also referred to as URL, Uniform Resource Locator) like you would find it in the browser. The address text box supports web addresses (usually prefixed with http:// or https://) and other kinds of addresses as well.
Download File
The Download file option lets you choose any file on your Mac, such as a PDF or a ZIP archive, to be offered for download from the website. The file will be published along with the website, and downloaded from there. A shortcut to create a link to a downloadable file is to drag and drop it onto the Sitely canvas, which will create the download link.
Open Popup
These options are related to the use of popups. You can create a new popup from here or select an existing one. The options also vary based on the context, and opening and closing popups have side effects based on the popup mode and group ID. For more information check the popup documentation page.
Media Control
This action is used in conjunction with video and audio players on the page, to offer a play/stop button, and a mute/unmute button. This can work for any video on the page, including background video, and any audio. One useful use is to work with browsers blocking autoplaying videos with audio: you can start videos muted and offer a prominent button to enable audio.
Please report any shortcoming in this documentation and we’ll fix it as soon as possible!
