How To Put C2 On Your Page

The instructions for doing this on the SBI help pages are perhaps a little "wordy". I also found it difficult to find all the information I needed, but maybe that's just me? However, judging by the emails I have received, I'm not the only one. In particular, it can be hard to find the instructions for creating a "utility template", which is essential if you dont want all your submission to have an old Block Builder look and feel to them.

So, here is a quick 'n easy step by step, that will have you up and running in no time.



1. Create a page to hold your invitation form

2. Create your C2 form in Site Central.
Click on the content 2 tab, then use the "create new invitation" button. Fill in all the details, and save by clicking on the build invitation" button.

3. Get your form information

This is available in the Upload Your Own HTML Page section of Site Central once the form has been built.Get you code, and copy/paste it onto the invitation page you created in step 1.

4. Make your utility page

This is the template that SBI will use to hold all your submissions and comments. So it needs to have a generic look. You also need to include the correct tags. Instructions for setting it up can be found here.

Pay particular attention to the name required for this page, plus the tags that are needed.

Now all you have to do is upload both pages to SBI. You can name the page containing the form anything you like, but make sure you follow the instructions for the utility page exactly. Otherwise it won't work!
