Basic information
A You Might Also Like (YMAL) is a collection of widgets, custom built by a web editor in Pangea CMS. YMAL is displayed below the main content on content pages.
YMAL can improve engagement and retention by promoting other content that might be of interest for your readers.
Where is a YMAL displayed?
Each YMAL can be connected to one or more Categories. After a YMAL is published and connected to a Category, the YMAL is displayed on content pages where the connected Category is added as the Primary Category. YMAL can be displayed on any type of content page (including text, multimedia, and interactive content).
NOTE: YMAL is not displayed on the Latest news Category layout.
To learn more about Categories / Primary Categories, see the following article:
Get started
To start building a new YMAL:
- Go to Build > You Might Also Like.
- Select + Add new.
On the New You Might Also Like dialog, complete the following required settings:
- Title: The YMAL title in your local language. This title will be visible only in Pangea CMS.
- English title: The YMAL title in English. This title will be visible only in Pangea CMS. English titles help Pangea users who do not understand your local language.
Hit Add to confirm. The edit page for the new YMAL opens. The remaining chapters in this article describe the most important options for building a new YMAL:
Save changes
The new YMAL is automatically saved in Pangea CMS with the Draft status. The YMAL is not visible on the public site.
When a YMAL has the Draft status, changes to the YMAL are saved internally in Pangea CMS. Some changes are saved automatically, while other changes need to be saved manually. The following rules apply:
- Changes on the Layout subpage are saved automatically.
- Changes on the Editor subpage are saved automatically.
- Changes on the Settings subpage must be manually saved.
If all changes have been saved (manually or automatically), the action button shows the label Saved and is inactive (not-clickable). This is because the page includes no unsaved changes. When the page includes unsaved changes, you can manually save the changes by hitting the Save button.
Manage layout blocks
Layout blocks let you build structured and visually-appealing page designs without using code. Each block runs horizontally across the page width and includes one or more areas (or containers) for inserting widgets. You can add one widget in each area. For example, the image below shows one block with four areas. This block should be used to display four widgets.
To manage layout blocks, select Layout in the left panel. You can add, move, and delete layout blocks. Before you start adding widgets, we suggest setting up the optimal layout from the Layout subpage. For details, see the following article:
Manage widgets
Widgets are interactive visual elements that showcase your content for website visitors. Pangea CMS offers various widget types that serve different purposes. For an overview of the different widget types, see the following article:
To manage widgets, select Editor in the left panel. Many options are available, for example:
- Add a new widget
- Use a library widget
- Edit a widget
- Move a widget
- Enable / disable a widget
To learn how to manage widgets on the Editor subpage, see the following article:
To learn about the widget settings, see the relevant article below (according to the type of widget):
Content | FactCheck | HTML | Live stream | Manual stream | Multimedia | Podcast | Poll | Subscription | Trends
Add connected Categories
Via General > Categories, you can select one or more Categories.
NOTE: You cannot select a Category that already has a connected YMAL. Each Category can have only one connected YMAL.
The YMAL is displayed on content pages from each connected Category. Find more information in the Basic information chapter of this article.
Publish a YMAL
To publish a new YMAL:
- Select Published in the status drop-down menu.
- Hit Publish / Publish & close.
The YMAL is now published. If it has at least one connected Category, it is visible on the public site.
Update a published YMAL
While a YMAL has the Published status, the YMAL is visible on the public site (if it has at least one connected Category).
When you update a published YMAL, all changes on the Editor and Layout subpages are published automatically. This includes actions such as:
- Adding widgets
- Deleting widgets
- Moving widgets
- Moving layout blocks
We suggest using versions if you need to make significant updates to the layout or widgets on a published YMAL. For detailed information, see the following article:
