Global modules are a great way of saving time when you're re-using content on multiple pages of your site. A global module is a module that is used on multiple pages across a website and has the same information shown everywhere. Editing the content in one place will change the content in every use of the global module. These are managed in the global modules area of the Vennture CMS.

 

If you haven't already set up your global module, you can check out this guide for instructions on how to do that first: Creating a global module.

 

Adding a global module is as simple as adding a normal module.

 

In the Vennture CMS, navigate to the web pages link in the left-hand menu and click on the page to which you want to add the global module.

 

When you're on the page, you'd like to add your global module. You can click the add module plus icon to bring up the module selection screen:

 

 

Once on the module selection screen, there will be a dropdown field titled "Select an existing re-usable module". This will provide you with a full list of global modules available to use on your site:

 

 

Simply select the module you previously created and save the module. Once saved, the module selection window will close, and you will find that your global module, along with all of its content, has now been imported to the page.

 

 

This is because any change to a global module, regardless of the page, will push out to all copies of the global module. For example, if you change the image on a global module, that image will immediately be used on all other copies of that particular global module. If you edit a global module, you will need to do a full site publish to update all instances of the module - see our guide on doing a full site publish here.
