Latest Message, Countdown Timer & Livestream Section
Latest Message
The latest message section will automatically display your latest message from the Sermons module (Content > Sermons). The message title, date and description will appear on the left, and the message video will show on the right. The "All Messages" button directs to your sermon archives page.
Countdown Timer
Below the latest message will show your countdown timer bar, which is controlled by the "Live Event" in the Events module. Within the event details,, the date and time determine when the event will be "live". You can set for the "Live Event" to be recurring, so that the countdown timer resets each week, once the "end time" has occurred.
The "Live Event" also need to have the "live service" category assigned. This is alredy done for you, so you can just leave this as is.
Livestream Section
Note: You can test the "live" version here: http://mvbcb2.monkpreview2.com/?live=true
When your "Live Event" is live, your livestream info will replace the latest message and countdown timer on your homepage. This information pulls from Content > Sections > "Home - Live Section".
This section uses a responsive column structure to display the text on the left and streaming video on the right.

Within the section, the Content field is where you can manage the section title, text and button as well as your streaming embed code. You will need to switch to the source code view of the page, in order to replace the embed code, if needed.
At the bottom of the Content field, you will also see a live service monklet tag: {{live-service}}. This controls the countdown timer, so just make sure to leave this in place.
Livestream Section 2 - Alternate Option
Within the Sections area, you will also see one titled "Home - Live Section 2". If you'd prefer to have the livestream section on your homepage display a specific message from the sermons module, you can switch over to this alternate Live section.
With this option, nothing is managed in the sections area, so you can leave that as is. This information pulls from the "Watch Us Live! This is a Call To Action" message in the sermons module.
Note: The "live stream" message is assigned to the "Live" category. Please make sure that stays in place, in order for the live stream content to show properly on your homepage.
Within the livestream message, you can update the following fields:
- Title: controls the bolded title above the text
- Content: controls the text
- Video: controls the video display
Homepage Settings
Under the Sections area of your Index page, you will see the first and second dropdowns allocated for "Latest Message" and "Live Section". The "Live Section" info will only display when your live event is "live" but it needs to be selected in the section dropdown.
You will want to keep these two as the first sections listed, in order for this info to display under your homepage rotator/video.
Note: if you are using the Live Section alternate option, the Section 2 dropdown in your Index page will need to be changed to "Home - Live Section 2".
