Section & Sidebar Monklets

Overview

Note: For additional information about using monklets, check out our help article here. For help with inline parameters, check our help article here.

Monklets are predefined code snippets that allow you to bring in other module content (sermons, events, etc.) into your pages.  You can use a monklet inside a section by placing your cursor in the content area, selecting Insert > Insert Monklet > "Desired Monklet".

Some monklets allow/require inline parameters to be passed to define items from a specific group, category, link list, etc.  

Example: {{section-monklet-linklist-icon-row|find="next-steps"}} 

Section Monklets vs Sidebar Monklets

Monklets defined with "Section Monklet" in the title can be inserted in the content area of a section used in a full width section. Monklets defined with "Sidebar Monklet" in the title can be inserted in the content area of a section used in the sidebar.

Monklets labeled with "section" or "sidebar" in the title can be used throughout the site. However, if you purchase any premium layouts, monklets included with those layouts will only be available for use with the respective layouts.

Module Images

Unless noted otherwise in this guide, most module (sermons, events, etc.) images should be 1,024px wide by 576px tall. Note - if an area on the site uses a square image or a non 16:9 display, the 16:9 image from the module is used and centered to cover the area. This means that if you have text layered in the image, it should be as centered as possible to prevent text from getting cut off.
