Enable a holiday page

View of the « enable a holiday page » page

Enabling a holiday page is done in two steps: the first time, Unisoft automatically creates the 16 pages of the pack for your organization. Then, you enable or disable each page according to your calendar.

Prerequisites​

  • The Holiday pages entry must be visible in your menu — which is the case for organizations whose country is set to "France" (country code FR). See Holiday pages for the conditions.
  • You must have the Forms permission to access the module.

First visit: automatic creation​

  1. 1

    Open the Holiday pages module

    In the sidebar, click on Forms then on the Holiday pages tab (/app/form/fete).

  2. 2

    Let Unisoft initialize the pack

    On the very first opening, you see a short initialization message. In the background, Unisoft:

    • browses the list of the 16 holidays of the standard pack,
    • checks if each one already exists in your organization,
    • creates those that are missing by copying the prepared template,
    • fills in the variables related to your organization (name, URL of your site).

    The operation takes a few seconds. Once finished, you see the 16 pages listed.

  3. 3

    Note the initial state

    On automatic creation, each page is enabled by default with its pre-filled template content. This means that the public URL is potentially already accessible from the end of initialization — even if you have not customized anything yet.

    Quickly customize the content (title, items, prices, dates) before communicating the link to your contacts, or temporarily disable the pages you do not want to expose immediately — see Customize a holiday page.

Enable a page​

An enabled holiday page is published and accessible via its public URL. The link works, visitors can register, donate, buy according to the configuration.

  1. 1

    Open the relevant page

    In the holiday pages list, click on the holiday you want to enable (for example Passover a few weeks before the holiday).

  2. 2

    Check the configuration

    Before enabling, take the time to review:

    • the title and the description,
    • the editorial content,
    • the available items with their prices and stock,
    • the calendar time slots if applicable.

    Cf. Customize a holiday page.

  3. 3

    Switch the status to Enabled

    Locate the Active / Inactive button or switch at the top of the page, then toggle it to Active. The page is now published.

  4. 4

    Retrieve and test the public link

    Click View public page (or equivalent button) to open the page on the visitor side. Check the mobile rendering, and copy the URL to share it (email campaign, WhatsApp message, QR code).

  5. 5

    Save

    Validate the changes. The page is online immediately.

Disable a page​

Disabling a page hides it in your active list in the backoffice and indicates to your team that it is no longer to be promoted. This is useful in two situations:

  • After the holiday: to signal that the page is no longer to be promoted in communication (for example, no longer highlight it on the home page or in newsletters).
  • During preparation: while you are modifying items or prices, it is better to disable to not highlight an unfinished version.
  1. 1

    Open the relevant page

    In the list, click on the page to disable.

  2. 2

    Switch the status to Inactive

    Toggle the Active / Inactive switch to Inactive.

  3. 3

    Save

    The page disappears from your active pages list. The submissions already received remain in your backoffice, you lose nothing. To totally block access via the direct URL, follow the recommendations of the box above.

Update activity dates each year​

Concretely, with each approaching holiday:

  1. Update the dates in the page content (Seder date, last order date, etc.).
  2. Adjust the time slot calendars if the page uses them (for example: 10 evening time slots of March 15 for the Home Shofar Blowing).
  3. Update the prices and stock of the items if necessary.
  4. Enable the page a few weeks before the holiday.
  5. Disable it a few days after to avoid late registrations.

Tip: prepare in advance​

To not be caught off guard, go through the pages two months in advance. Customize and prepare everything, keep the pages disabled, and when the moment comes, it only remains to flip the switch.

Special case: skip a year​

If for any reason you do not want to organize a holiday in a given year (for example, no community Seder because the congregants prefer to be with family), just leave the page disabled. The following year, you will reactivate it without having lost anything.
