Countdown Widget Added to Promote Events, Promotions, Contests

 

Tabsite offers a wide array of widgets and tools to enable powerful and easy customization of Facebook fan page tabs!

With Drag N Build tabs you can drag and drop to build a completely custom design

To use widgets, you must select to add a “Drag N Build” tab when creating a new Tab.

This then creates the tab and gives you the menu below. Simply click on widgets and drag the desired widget to your tab work area.

 One of the widgets is the Countdown Widget.  

The Countdown widget allows you to add a Countdown timer to your Drag N Build tab.
This gives companies an active on tab method to bring attention to the start of a event, promotion, launch, or other activity. The timer is in days, hours, minutes and seconds and the English text can be turned off so that it can be used globally.  The widget is available at the Gold, Platinum, and Enterprise levels.

 

Select and drag the countdown icon to your tab work areaTabsite Countdown widget Icon

When the countdown widget is dragged to the work area it will open and a user can customize settings as shown below:

Users should set the date and time to count down to and select the time zone to use.

Daylight Savings Time is an option to use, and the English text of “Days, Minutes,” etc. can be toggled off.  This enables those wanting to display other than English the ability to turn the English off.  Then simply use a Content Widget to add text below the numeric countdown.

The Countdown Widget will display on a tab as shown below.  Options shown are with text, without text, with a solid colored background, or transparent background, and when the time has reached it’s finish it displays all zero’s.

The countdown widget adds eye-catching visual movement to the tab and is a great way to create anticipation to the start of your next event, promotion, or other activity.  The countdown widget is available at the Gold and higher plan levels.

HotLink Feature Enhancement

We’ve added new options to the HotLink Widget! 

Now Page Admins have more flexibility and power to control how links on your TabSite tabs open.

The HotLink widget is available at all paying plan levels of TabSite and is a great way to Image Map a large image.  Simple add a HotLink widget on top of the image, size the transparent box over the area you wish to link, add your url and you’re ready! 

Now with our recent HotLink widget enhancement, you can choose how you want the url to open when it is clicked on within your custom tabs. 

Options include:

  • Open link in a New Window/Tab
  • Open link in Same Window (replaces current page with link clicked)
  • Open in current IFrame – This is the fastest loading option to link to other TabSite tabs or sub-pages because the Facebook page frame is not loaded again, only your new tab content
  • Open Email – this allows you to link to an e-mail address so when clicked their default e-mail client can load with your pre-determined subject line.

We are pleased to roll-out these additions to the HotLink widget to give you more options for your tabs. To upgrade your tab to have the HotLink widget, simply go to www.TabSite.com/steps.
