With DAKboard Custom Screens, you can now use our Compliments and Dad Joke blocks. Here is how to do this:



Adding the Compliments and Dad Joke blocks:


To add the Compliments and Dad Joke blocks, open the Custom Screen Editor you want them to appear on, click the Add A Block button, click the News & Education section, and select the blocks you wish to add. See below:



Once you select your block, it will open the Settings tab seen below:



Once you have made your selections, make sure you click Save.



Settings Tab:


With the Settings Tab, you have several options you can use to personalize your block. Below are details on these settings:


  • Source: This section allows you to choose which version of the Block you want to view. This includes the following options:
    • Word of the Day
    • Quote of the Day
    • Bible Verse of the Day
    • Compliments
    • Dad Jokes
  • Rotate: This option will allow you to change how quickly you can rotate through items in the selected source. 

NOTE: With the "of the Day" sources (Word of the Day, Quote of the Day, and Bible Verse of the Day), the information only rotates once a day, so this option will not affect them. 

  • Show Descriptions: (Not available with Compliments or Dad Jokes) This option will allow you to see any published Descriptions or Subtitles for the entry, if they are available.
  • Show Source & Timestamps: (Not available with Compliments or Dad Jokes) This option will include any published Source Materials or Timestamps if they are available.



Formatting Tab:


With the Formatting Tab, you can now modify the look of your Button Block further. These options are detailed below:



  • Text: This allows you to select the Size and Color of the Icon.
  • Background: This option allows you to fill the background of your block with a color and/or add blurring effects to it.
  • Block Title: This allows you to put a title to your block. This can be used to target your block for use with Custom CSS or just to identify the block.
  • Advanced: The Advanced dropdown includes new block placement, block shaping, and the Link Block options. See our article, Advanced Features of the Custom Screen Editor, for more details.
