Friendbook

Let every participant fill in a page with photo and answers, browse the pages in the app and print the whole book as a PDF.

Before you start

You need editing access to the event. Each registrant fills in their own page, so test with a registration of your own.

Set up the questions

1. Enable Friendbook under Plugins.
2. Under Questions, add your questions. Each question has a character limit: up to 100 characters get a single-line field, longer limits a text area.
3. Check the Publication consent text. Participants must confirm it before they can save their page.
4. Decide whether Show pages to all participants is on. When it is off, only you see the pages and the PDF.

Every page has a name and an optional photo; your questions come on top.

Collect the pages

• On the website: in the Web Builder, add the Friendbook — Your page block to an event page.
• In the app: in the App Builder, add the plugin block Friendbook — your page.

Participants enter their name, can add a photo (cropped to a portrait frame automatically), answer the questions and confirm the consent text. They can change or delete their page at any time. To stop collecting pages, remove the block from the page or the app.

Browse the pages in the app

Add the plugin block Friendbook — all pages to an app screen. Participants swipe through the pages and jump to a person with the name menu at the top. The block only shows pages while Show pages to all participants is on.

Print the book

1. Open the plugin and the Pages tab. On the left you see the print preview of the selected submission (the first one by default); the list is on the right. Cover and end page are previewed in the Layout tab.
2. Choose the order in the sort menu: By name or By submission.
3. Select Create PDF. The PDF is created in the background, with progress shown. Then select Download.

The book is A4: a cover, one page per participant and an end page. Download links of a PDF stay available for seven days; you can create a new PDF at any time.

Layout

In the Layout tab you design the book with a live preview of a participant page, the cover and the end page:

• a template: Polaroid, Magazine, Minimal or Stripes,
• the accent and paper colour, from your event colours or a custom colour,
• the font (by default your event font),
• the cover with title, subtitle and logo (the event logo by default), and the end page with title and text. Both can be switched off.

Select Save layout to keep your changes. Texts are printed in the event's default language.

Remove a page

In the Pages tab, the bin next to a page deletes the participant's answers and photo permanently. Participants can also delete their own page.
