URL Module

URL modules display web page content from outside of the system. From this page view, the URL of the web page is entered. The content from the URL appears in the module. URL modules should be tested before making them available to ensure that the content displays correctly in a module.

URL modules differ from Web Links modules because they display the actual content of the URL instead of a link.

Edit a URL module

1. On the Administrator Panel, in the Communities section, select Tabs and Modules.
2. Select Modules.
3. Open the URL module's menu.
4. Select Edit Contents. The following table describes the available options.

   URL Module Options
