Question I need my members to be able to populate 5 buttons with own unique links. How can I best do that?
Answer
The best way is to setup member variables for each of the buttons, so members can put their own values for them on the my personal info page. After that, you can put the buttons on a landing page or in the resources page for the members to visit and join at. Please read our member variables training guide to learn more about how to do this.
A.To link variable to facebook page URL, replace Facebook page name with variable code in the Wysiwyg editor.
www.facebook.com/~VARCODE~ // VARCODE to be replaced with your variable code as follows
Copy variable code from member variables page
Also you can display all available variables already created from Edit pages-> Click on the page you want to edit -> View/Info -> Dynamic info (~~) All variables will be listed at the right panel.
To do this go to member variables page (/admin/membervariables) and add a member variable for the about me section
Add it to a Page
Inside of an editable WYSIWYG section of a page add the code ~var#~ where you want the content to appear. Be sure to get the correct code where # is replaced with the number of the member variable. You can get the correct code either from the member variables page or from "View/Info" -> "Dynamic Info (~~)" in the page editor.
Test it Out
Go to the members page (/admin/members) and login as a member. Go to their profile (/admin/profile) and enter a value for their about me section. Then view the member's page where you added the member variable ~~ code and you will see the content there.
A. You can add input fields for members to add a value on the resource page. For example, if you are promoting a program you can easily add ~~ code below text or a video you make and then the ~~ is replaced with a form for a member to put their username for the program being promoted.
Tilde Codes to Use
~membervar#form~
Complete form with save button
~membervar#input~
An individual form field. Used when adding multiple inputs. You need to add a button with type="submit" to save the changes.
A. No, member variables do not search upline if the parent is suspended, but instead shows the variable the parent has set, or the default if they do not have anything set.
A. Yes, when editing a contact if you scroll down there is the option to add new variables. Address is already a variable that exists and doesn't have to be added. Also, city, state, zipcode and country are all variables that exist and are separate from address. So address is just the street address and then city, state, zipcode and country are separate fields/variables.
You can search by these fields and then click the button to email them individually or use the checkmarks to add them to a contact group (which can be a temporary group just for doing the broadcast). Once you've added them to a contact group you can send a broadcast message to the entire contact group at once.
