Custom Element Dialog

The Custom element becomes a field in Contributor that users (contributors) can use to add content that cannot be added using the other elements (WYSIWYG, Plain Text, and Image). More specifically, the Custom element provides a way to create a custom interface (also called a custom element form) that is used to add various types of content (multimedia files, source code, and so on). This particular element is used in legacy sites.

Element Description
ID The identification that Site Studio assigns to the element.
Name The name you assign to the element. This name is used for coding purposes and as such should not contain spaces, or non-ASCII or special characters.

If you reuse the same data file in multiple layout places, then the name of the region and its elements on each page must be the same.

Label Briefly describes the element. The label displays beside the field in Contributor to let individual contributors know what content should go there.
Info More detailed description of the element. This description appears as a tooltip when contributors hover their mouse over the Info icon in Contributor.
Type Indicates the type of element you are adding.
Settings Opens the Custom Element Settings dialog (see Custom Element Settings Dialog), where you can specify the Custom element form that is used by contributors.
Actions Set Element Height: Used to set a fixed height of the element.
  • Set Height: Use to set the height of the element by entering a number and the unit of measurement (centimeters, millimeters, inches, percent, picas, pixels, points).

OK Saves your settings and closes the Custom Element dialog.
Cancel Cancels your settings and closes the Custom Element dialog.
Help Opens the online help for this specific dialog.
