Hi all,

I am building another Event App for a program (only my second one I've created). Can you not add anything to the home page other than cards or quick links? It seems silly to not be able to add any text, like you can on other custom pages. I see you can add very brief text (limit of 90 characters).

Hi Lindsey, That is correct, as of now we cannot have links on the homepage of the attendeehub app separately, it can be through cards or either quick links. 
One thing you can do is to have a chain icon symbolic of a link as a card image and the link on it.

I usually do that with my clients.

Hey Lindsey! 

We have done what Abhisek says below, but we've also used a custom banner with the start of the text we'd like to use with the three dots at the end that shows there is more. Then we create a custom page with the full data on it. Then we link it to the banner so when they click the banner, it takes them to the custom page with the rest of the information. You can do this with a card as well. Use the image to start the text, then for the link text at the bottom, say "read more" or something to tell them to click it for more and again, just link to a custom page in the app with more of the information. 

It's not perfect of course, but it works!

Thank you all for your responses. It's always interesting to see the workarounds people find! Would you happen to have an example I could look at? Or maybe at least some screenshots so I can better understand what you're referencing? Thanks!

Of course! I just created a quick test event so you can see it here. 

The first image is the "homepage" of the app. The top portion is a banner. The bottom portion is a "Custom Card". The upper, I wrote as if it's a welcome and call to action to read. The bottom, is more... intriguing to the guest because they don't know what they are clicking. Obviously, you would write it as you see fit. 

The second is the custom page with header and then you'd just write whatever you want them to see there!
