Creating Extra Pages in Brightidea


Administrators can add custom (blank) pages to any Site by simply adding a letter from the alphabet between /ct/ and .bix in their Site URL. Each Site will have a unique Campaign ID that you can find at the end of the URL string.

 

Initiative Level 

Initiative-level Custom Pages use the Campaign ID, e.g., c=5D382333-B886-4218-9DDF-5356734F9B85. The ID can be found in the URL field when viewing an Initiative's Site Setup:

  • https://acme.brightidea.com/ct/ct_admin_options_new.bix?c=5D382333-B886-4218-9DDF-5356734F9B85

To create a new Custom Page from this URL string, replace the "ct_admin_options_new" within the URL with any letter of the alphabet. 

Example structures of an Initiative-level Custom Page:

    • https://acme.brightidea.com/ct/f.bix?c=5D382333-B886-4218-9DDF-5356734F9B85
    • https://acme.brightidea.com/ct/g.bix?c=5D382333-B886-4218-9DDF-5356734F9B85
    • https://acme.brightidea.com/ct/z.bix?c=5D382333-B886-4218-9DDF-5356734F9B85

System Level Pages

The structure is slightly different for creating Custom Pages for the System Level:

  • Instead of appending “f.bix”, append “c_f.bix”. 
  • System-level pages use an Affiliate ID- e.g., “a=OD1234”:
    • https://acme.brightidea.com/ct/c_f.bix?a=OD1234
  •  

Pages that are available:

  • Site Levela.bix ~  z.bix?c=___________
  • System Levelc_a.bix ~  c_z.bix?a=________
  • The most common letters for blank pages are F, G, and Z.
    • Note: Some Custom Page alphabet characters are not available and are reserved for Brightidea use only.

    Is there a way to add pages after you've used the letters in the alphabet?  I also noticed that q.bix and r.bix don't appear to be available?  Any ideas?

    There are no other pages besides the letters of the alphabet. Note, some are reserved for Brightidea use only.

    I understand the hierarchy in the URLs, but which screen to I create the page from? I went under challenge navigation and tried to create a menu header and entered the new URL there. Once saved, if I try to navigate there it says bad link (I tried 3 different letters). Please give a little bit more instructions?

    I agree with Isabelle. More and detailed instructions would be very helpful!

    A drop down for 'blank page' would be nice, instead of having to figure out the URL ... and then all we have to do is name it ...

    Is there a place in the Challenge level custom CSS to address the columns (ie, remove them) to utilize the whole page? I can find this relatively easily at the Enterprise level, not so much on the challenge level.

    Hi Rob,

    Yes, pages at the challenge level can be customized with custom CSS to change layouts. You can reach out to your Brightidea Account Manager for scoping if this would be of interest.

    Hi Daniel - I don't need Brightidea to scope or design anything. I just need a simple point in the right direction in the current custom css to show me where I am missing this. :)

    Hi Rob,

    Got it. For quick questions about custom CSS, I would inquire with your Professional Services team.
