Customize Custom Content Display

Modified on 27 January


RunSignup gives races a free website for their race, and allows race directors to organize their content in many different ways. This guide will walk you through how you can customize the display of any custom sections that you have added to your Race Website.


Once you have created custom content for your race website, as is explained in How to Add a Custom Section/Page then you can either display it on your race page as a custom section, display it as a sub-menu item under an existing page, display it as a new menu item, making it a stand-alone page, or you can choose to only have this content displayed in the confirmation email. 


To easily jump to this feature’s dashboard setup page, simply begin typing “Content” in the Search bar of the Dashboard.


After you have typed in at least three letters, search results will begin to show below the box.


Select Custom Content Display from those listed below.  And you will be brought to the setup page for your custom content display.


You can also manually find this feature by going to the Race tab, clicking on Race Website, and opening up the section for Custom Content Display.


Customizing Your Custom Content Display


Once on the Custom Content Display page, you will be able to view all of your custom content down the lefthand side of the page, in the Content Title section.


If you would like for your custom content to appear as a section on the race page, then select the radio button next to that Content Title, under Display on Race Page.


Once you click Save Settings, your custom content will then appear on your race page as a custom section.


If you would like for your custom content to be displayed as a sub-menu item of an existing page, then you can select the radio button next to that Content Title, under Display as Sub-Menu Item.


Once you click Save Settings, your custom content will then appear on your race page as a custom page, with is listed as a sub-menu page of the selected page.


Please note, that only existing pages can be selected from the drop-down menu for Display as Sub-Menu Item.  If you would like to use another custom content item as the parent item of the sub-menu item, then you will first need to set that item as it’s own page, and then save the changes, in order to find it in the Display as Sub-Menu Item dropdown.


If you would like for your custom content to be added as a new page on your race website, then you can select the radio button next to that Content Title, under Display as New Menu Item.


Once you click Save Settings, your custom content will then appear on your race page as a custom page, and will be listed as an independent menu item.


Finally, if you would like for your custom content to only be seen in the confirmation email, then you can select the radio button next to that Content Title, under Display on Confirmation Email Only.


Once you click Save Settings, your custom content will then be hidden from your race page, and will only be visible in the confirmation emails that your registrants receive.


Once you have customized all of the settings on your custom content display page, then click on Save Settings.


And you will receive confirmation that the settings have been saved.

In the GIF above, you will see that the "About the Race" section is being set to display as a sub-menu item, the "Course Maps" section is being set to display on the confirmation email only, the "FAQs" section is being set to display as a new menu item, and the "Training Program" section is being left as a part of the race page content.
