Promotions Maintenance
CMS Pages
a. Promotions
This page contains a table listing of all current promotions. If you do not alter this page it will automatically update. If you customize this page, you will need to review it every month and make updates when necessary. The page is comprised of a table with links to each promotion, the Promotions Description code fragment and the Promotions Table Footer code fragment.
Location in CMS:
promotions > promotions.html
Promotions page code example:
{% fragment promotions/descriptions/promotions_description.html %}
<table cellspacing="0" class="pas_data_table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th colspan="4">March Promotions</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Site</td>
<td>Rake Race</td>
<td>Rake Chase</td>
<td>Freeroll</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th><a href="{{ tld }}/pages/cereus-promos.html">Cereus Poker Network</a>"</th>
<td>$35,000</td>
<td< </td>
<td>$5,000</td>
</tr>
...
...
</tbody>
</table>
{% fragment promotions/descriptions/promotions_table_footer.html %}
b. Archives page(s)
The Archives folder contains archived leaderboards for promotions that occurred in the previous month. The list at the top of the page contains anchor links which act as a shortcut to the leaderboards listed below. If you edit this page, be careful not to alter the include syntax in any way.
Location in CMS:
promotions > archives > rake_chase_archives.html promotions > archives > rake_race_archives.html
Archives page example:
<h1 class="pas">Rake Chases {{ last_month_name }}</h1>
<div id="archives">
<ul>
<li><a href="#cereus"><span>Cereus</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#betfair"><span>Betfair</span></a></li>
...
...
</ul>
<div id="betfair">
{% fragment promotions/leaderboards/rake_chase_leaderboards.html?promotions=Betfair&archive=1 %}
</div>
<div id="cereus">
{% fragment promotions/leaderboards/rake_chase_leaderboards.html?promotions=Cereus&archive=1 %}
</div>

</div>
c. Poker Room Promo Pages
This folder now contains most of the files needed for displaying your promotions information. The root of this folder contains one file for each and every poker room that has a promotion associated with it. Each of these files contains only a few lines of code. These files contain only a title and include statements for each relevant leaderboard and description. This means that non-English language PAS websites will not have to customize these pages. They will always receive automatic updates!
Location in CMS:
promotions > cereus_promos.html promotions > doyles_room_promos.html promotions > full_tilt_promos.html etc.
Promo page code example:
<h1 class="pas">Cake Poker Promotions</h1>
<img style="float:right;margin:0 0 0 10px;" src="{{ tld }}/images/offers/lg_42.gif" />
{% fragment promotions/descriptions/rake_chase_description.html %}
{% fragment promotions/leaderboards/rake_chase_leaderboards.html?promotion=Betfair %}
Promotions Descriptions
This folder contains descriptions for each of the four promotion types as well as a description for the promotions page. These pages are safe to fully customize. The contents of each will be called from each promo page (see above) that offers that type of promotion. These pages contain a short description of how each promotion type works and includes relevant details which are generic enough to apply to multiple websites. The signup link will redirect visitors to your offers page.

Leaderboards
Leaderboards are presented in a table structure and use tokens to display information. Column headings may be modified or translated but it is recommended that you leave all tokens intact.
At the beginning of each month, data may not display correctly until new promotions are configured, but this is typically functioning correctly within 48 hours. Additionally, sometimes information may not be immediately available. Since this information is derived from feeds provided by each poker room, this is not something within our direct control. Typically, however, it is simply a matter of waiting for the feed to update. If the problem persists, please feel free to let us know via your support helpdesk.
