This topic aims to give some guidance about the type of content = to create in different scenarios.
By their nature, news and events are items that have a certain 'currency= ' i.e. they change regularly. The in built News and Events= feature of SportzVault ensures:
News and Event items are limited to 7500 characters each (including html= markup). This should be sufficient in most cases.
A common need of sporting clubs is to upload photos/images relating to p= articular matches/events/functions etc. For example, you may wish to group = and display photos taken at a particular day's play.
The built in Slideshow Galleries feature of SportzVault= :
Layout is taken care of for you.
This refers to content on your site that you may wish to create, some ex= amples are:
The two options for creating this type of content are:
When choosing between these two options, consider the following:
|
Html file |
Other file format |
---|---|---|
User access/readability |
Excellent - content displays within the brows= er, the content is 'integrated' with theSportzVault site |
Content will popup in a new browser window. A= bility for user to read depends on the file format chosen. Special 'reader'= software may be needed to read the content. For example, just about all pe= ople would have (or be able to download easily) a PDF reader to access PDF = files. Most would be able to read a Word document, few would be able to rea= d a Visio Flowchart. |
Ease of creation |
We've attempted to make our Html editor as ea= sy as possible to use, and it supports copy and paste from most external pr= ograms (e.g. Microsoft Word). However, getting the correct layout for long = or complicated documents will take some time and patience. |
If you are familiar with a tool such as Micro= soft Word/Excel etc, you may find it easier to create content in this envir= onment. |
Richness of formatting/layout |
Our Html editor supports a wide range of form= atting, but will not be as comprehensive as other tools. This is more a res= triction on Html and web browsers rather than our editor. |
Depends on the tool, but typically excellent.= |
Printing |
Content can be printed from a web browser, bu= t results can vary. |
Usually excellent. |
File size, speed of download |
Html is a very compact format, download and a= ccess time is fast |
Most tools create files which are quite large= even for simple documents. This will slow access times for the end user.= p> |
Our general recommendations: Create content as Htm= l pages wherever possible. A long document such as a rule book could be bro= ken up into several Html pages, and each page could be accessed from a sepa= rate menu item on the site. Where formatting and printability is important,= consider using the PDF or RTF formats. Only use proprietary formats (such = as Word, Excel etc) as a last resort.
