    The Gifts Module

    With virtual gifting, your fans can share their love of your brand with their friends. Create your own eye candy — images of festive bouquets, coffee mugs, beer steins, footballs, buttons, cars, you name it. — together with your brand's best imagery in the form of a visual gift.

    Then add a Gifts Module to your Oracle Social Marketing Content & Apps View, and let the giving begin. When a fan clicks on a gift from your Facebook page, he or she can send it to any Facebook friend, along with a personalized message.

    Adding a Gifts Module to a Content & Apps View

    All modules are added to a View in the same way. See the Building a View: Adding Modules and Content to Views in Content & Apps article for instructions.
    Your View will appear with your new module added. Next to your module you'll see a callout bubble that can be used for editing your module. The callout bubble will not appear on your published View. Your module will not appear until you publish your View.

    Adding a Gift to a Gifts Module

    1. Next to your Gifts module you’ll see a callout bubble. Click the green triangle next to the title to show your options.
    2. Click Manage Gifts.
    3. You'll be taken to the Upload Gift Images page. Click Add Photos to upload a gift image.
    4. Select one or more photos from your computer (We suggest the dimensions 70 x 70 pixels).
    5. If you would like a text caption to appear along with the gift image, click [Edit Caption], enter the text, then click OK.
    6. Once you have finished adding and editing images, scroll back to the top and click Other Settings.
    7. In the Other Settings area, you can choose to add the following items:
      • Preamble - Add some short text to introduce your gifts
      • Button Label - Choose what text you want on the button you click to send a gift.
      • Gifting Dialog Copy - Add text that will appear when a user selects a gift to send.
      • Preamble Image - Upload an image that will appear next to your preamble text.
      • Postamble Image - Upload an image that will appear at the bottom of the module.

    After you finish configuring your module, you will need to publish it to make it appear on your Facebook page. Click Publish to Facebook at the bottom or top of the view layout page.
