Guided landing page templates and form elements

[Anonymous]

I've put a Marketo form inside my custom guided landing page template. Is there are way to control the settings (eg, the form's submit text and background color) using the Elements or Variables panels in the guided template editor?

Thanks.

You can't do what you're trying to accomplish directly from the LP editor. But if you want to use a master form and edit the CTA button text from program to program, you can make the text a token, and modify that token at the program level. So you'd set up the button text like this:

And edit it here (this is just a random screenshot, this specific token isn't on here):

For the rest of the CSS overrides, you could either put those on the form itself or redefine on your LP template's stylesheet.

Sure, you can do this using GLP variables. You don't need to resort to tokens (which after all are a different animal). Been doing this a bunch with clients as we move them to Guided mode. I'm OoO today but will post on this on the wknd.

ah, very good point! This video kinda gets at what you're saying, I think... around the 4:30 mark. I'm so into time-saving I completely forgot about this!

Using a GLPT like this...

... you can choose both color and submit text in any LPs based on the template.

(Yeah, I could've just set the textContent to the variable directly, but I felt like keeping all the variables in the CSS section today.)

@Joe Reitz, @Sanford Whiteman – Thank you both for your help, and I appreciate the screenshots and code. I'll try the Javascript solution and see how that goes.

Is there a Marketo doc that lists all the events (eg, "whenReady")? I'd like to know which others are available.

Thanks again.

The Forms 2.0 developer doc lists the officially supported events. You will find for most style-related customizations you want whenReady or whenRendered.

Should relocate this question to the "products" section.
