Trumba's powerful Custom Objects feature enhances
8 Limbs Yoga Centers website
| | |
|
Trumba's Custom Objects provides the flexibility to publish any content you would want to list, anywhere on your website.
8 Limbs Yoga Centers is one of many fitness centers making extensive use of Trumba's Custom Objects to enhance their website by publishing directories of multiple studio locations, class descriptions, and instructor biographies, all cross referenced with each other and with calendars for class schedules, workshops and more.
Instructor details link to class schedules and studio locations
With Custom Objects, searchable directories can be displayed on their own page and presented in custom views. 8 Limbs uses Custom Objects to track their master list of classes, instructors and locations. Site visitors can select a studio location to see all classes offered at that yoga center. 8 Limbs also provides their audience with pop-up and detailed supporting information such as instructor biography details, all linked with their online calendar.
 Instructor detail pop-up
Custom Objects allows detailed, interactive information to be displayed and connected. Since the 8 Limbs website content is connected using Custom Objects, their site visitors can easily find related information. The instructor bio page allows visitors to discover the classes and locations associated with each instructor. Similarly, selecting the studio page allows site visitors to view the classes and associated instructors offered at that particular location.
In addition, site visitors can select a list or map view to display high-level information about each studio location, or click on the studio name to see more detailed information including location description, map, class schedules for the studio, teacher information and more.

Custom objects also saves 8 Limbs time and money, eliminating data entry and reducing website maintenance. Class data shared at multiple studio locations only needs to be entered once, and if information needs to be changed or added, all related content updates automatically.
With Trumba's Custom Objects, fitness centers and other organizations with multiple locations can easily integrate directories of schedules, instructors, venues and more with their online calendars.

 Custom Navigation Buttons  Design your calendar navigation
with custom images and icons
You can now use custom images for the previous and next page buttons in all of Trumba's calendar and custom object views, as well as the month datefinder spud. Views can be customized individually, giving you complete control over the navigation style in each view. You can provide different versions of each button, one for active buttons and another for inactive (or "grayed out") buttons.
Most of the Trumba calendar views include navigation buttons that contain the text for prev/next and look like this by default: 
The Week, Month and Multi-Week calendar views use smaller arrows without the prev/next text, and the datefinder has a smaller version of those arrows, which look like this:
The custom object views have four different pager images (the
two outer images take you directly to the first and last pages):
Now, by selecting from other icons or uploading your own images, you can easily customize any of these page buttons to match your brand and style preferences.
Wood Buffalo Municipality has customized their calendar navigation buttons and several other icons, adding color and visual interest to their calendar views and nicely integrating with their website design.
Custom navigation buttons are one of the many flexible options Trumba customers can use to create calendars that reflect their unique style and blend with their design.
