Guest menu

On the event home page, right below the cover image, sits the Event info & tools bar: small cards that take your guests to the thank-you page, the event info, the schedule, the menu or one of your own pages. The Guest menu is where you decide what appears there and in which order.

Phone

Computer

What your guests see: the “Event info & tools” bar on the event home page – these are exactly the cards you arrange here.

You find the page in the sidebar under Planning → Guest menu (route /admin/tools/guest-menu).

Phone

Computer

① Above the list sit “Event info & tools” and the count of visible entries – here “6 of 10 entries visible”. ② “Own link” adds a card of your own.

This one bar only

The gallery’s own navigation – the top bar and, on a phone, the bottom bar – is not touched here. It is built around taking photos (gallery, albums, tasks, leaderboard, profile) and stays that way.

One row, left to right

Every entry is a row, and every row is built the same way.

① Drag handle ② Symbol of the card ③ Label with the kind underneath ④ “Move up” and “Move down” ⑤ The “Visible” switch.

① Handle (three lines) – this is where you grab the row to move it. Only the handle drags; the rest of the row stays tappable.

② Symbol – the icon your guests see on the card. While the row is visible the tile carries your event colour; switched off, it turns grey.

③ Label and kind – the name of the card, with its kind in small type below (Tool, Own page, Own link …). For an own link the destination address is shown there as well.

④ Arrows – one click moves the row one place. In the top row the up arrow is faded and does nothing, in the bottom row the down arrow – the buttons stay put rather than disappear, so the row never jumps under your cursor.

⑤ “Visible” switch – takes the card out of the bar or brings it back.

Own links carry two more buttons between ③ and ④: a pencil (edit) and a bin (remove). Tools and own pages have neither – they are managed on their own admin page.

There is no draft here

This page has no save button, because every change takes effect at once: the switch, the pencil, the bin and the dialog all write straight to the server. Only the order is bundled – roughly half a second after your last move. Ten arrow clicks in a row therefore cost one save, not ten.

On a phone

On narrow screens the label moves to a line of its own above the handle, symbol, arrows and switch. Everything else stays the same – only the name gets the full width, because it is the part that has to be readable.

What the list contains

Above the list you see how many entries are currently visible – for example 6 of 10 entries visible. The number on the right is the length of the list, the one on the left counts the rows that are switched on.

Phone

Computer

The kind sits in small type under the name: ① “Tool” ② “Tool · normally by link only” – switched off here, hence the pale row ③ “Own page”.

• Tool – an active tool that has a guest page (thank you, event info, schedule, menu, DJ requests, seating …).
• Tool · normally by link only – tools that stand on their own and only join the bar on request, first among them the digital invitation. It is off by default: an invitation usually goes out on purpose, not to everyone who is already in the gallery.
• Own page – a published custom page.
• Own link – a destination you enter yourself (see below).

Shorter than your tool list – why?

Only active tools with a guest page and published custom pages appear here. A tool that is switched off has no card to place; a pure planning tool such as budget or the guest list has no guest page at all. Tools are switched on in the tool overview – the Open tools link at the foot of the page takes you there.

Changing the order

1. Drag a row by its handle (the three-line icon) to its new place – or use the Move up and Move down arrows.

2. Done. There is no save button: the order is stored automatically a moment after your last move.

Guests see the cards in exactly this order – rows that are switched off keep their place too and slide back into exactly that spot when you switch them on again. Whatever you put on top is what gets found fastest on the day.

Switching visibility

The Visible switch in each row takes an entry out of the bar or brings it back. The row turns pale – symbol and name go grey – but stays where it is. Three things worth knowing:

• The switch writes the same value as the Display tab of the tool itself. The two places cannot disagree – this is simply a second remote control for one switch.
• For an own page, the card depends on two conditions: the page itself, and the Custom pages tool being in the bar at all. If you switch a page on while the tool was out, the tool is pulled in with it – otherwise you would have flipped a switch no guest could ever notice.
• An entry set to invisible is not deleted: the page or tool stays reachable through its direct link and its QR code, only the card is gone.

Own link

Own link (the button at the top right) creates a card that points anywhere – to the map of the venue, to the hotel, to a shared playlist.

Phone

Computer

① Translation language – multilingual events only ② Label ③ Address with its hint line ④ Symbol picker.

1. Enter a Label – what the card says, for example Getting there & parking. Keep it short, it is a small card; the field takes no more than 60 characters.

2. Enter an Address – either an external address starting with https:// or a destination inside your event starting with / (such as /tools/seating). Anything else is refused and the field turns red, because this text ends up as a link on a guest page.

3. Pick a Symbol – 41 icons are on offer, the active one is outlined. Without a choice of your own the card gets the document symbol.

4. Save. As long as the label or the address is missing, the button stays faded and cannot be pressed.

Phone

Computer

Below the symbol grid: ① “Open in a new tab” – on by default, so your guests don't leave the gallery ② “Save”.

A new link lands at the end of the bar; from there you move it into place.

Phone

Computer

① An own link shows its destination under the name ② Pencil to edit ③ Bin to remove. The counter moves along: “7 of 11” here.

The bin does not ask

A click on the bin removes the link immediately and without a prompt – there is no draft here that you could discard. Only the card is affected, never the destination behind it; and a link is re-created in half a minute.

What sits below the list

Phone

Computer

① The footnote explains why the list can be shorter than your tool list ② “Open tools” leads to the tool overview – the link is always there, not only when the list is empty.

When the list is empty

If it says Nothing for the row yet, you have no active tool with a guest page and no published custom page. The Open tools button leads straight to the tool overview. An own link can be added at any time regardless.

Example

The line above the list reads 6 of 10 entries visible. Before the event day you drag Schedule to the top so guests immediately see when things start — that is saved automatically, there is no save button here. Your guests won’t need the Menu until the evening, so you flip its Visible switch: the row turns pale and the card disappears from the bar — the page itself stays reachable through the direct link and the QR codes on the tables. Because everyone keeps asking about directions, you add a card via Own link: Label Getting there & parking, Address the https:// address of your venue’s map, the map pin as its Symbol, and Open in a new tab switched on so nobody leaves the gallery. The new entry lands at the end of the bar first — from there you move it right below the schedule with the arrows, and the counter now reads 7 of 11. The day after the party you pull Thank you to the top; the same switch also sits on the thank-you note’s Display tab, and both always show the same value.
