From this manual you will learn how to manage the dynamic blocks that appear on the

main (index) page of your dating site built with Dating Pro.

Landing page modifications influence the look and feel of a website in general, and the

dynamic blocks will help you do just that.

For every block there are special settings, such as cache period, amount of elements on the page, block header name, and so on.

Tips:

1 - Avoid <html>, <head>, <body> tags in 'HTML code' block.

2 - You can add several empty blocks, assign them different height in pixels, and place them all around the page to increase space between other elements, or change

proportions, and so on.

3 - Edit promo block content in section Content > Promo content (/admin/content/promo/).

4 - For users blocks, if you want to, say, separate women from men, take user type IDs from Content > User types (/admin/properties/property/user_type).

Example:

5 - Cache period is used to improve site performance, as saved elements do not have to be generated anew every time you load a page. That is why if you make some changes in

Dynamic blocks section and do not see them applied on your landing page immediately, check if you indicated cache period other than '0'.

drop is used here. There can be a maximum of three blocks in one line:
