Section Monklets
Overview
Monklets are predefined code snippets that allow you to bring in other module content (sermons, events, etc.) into your pages. There are a few monklets that have been created that are placed in the content area of your full width sections.
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, etc. http://help.monkcms.com/article/using-monklets/ and https://help.ekklesia360.com/article/using-inline-parameters/ provides details on using these parameters.
*NOTE - Monklets that are defined with "Section Monklet" in the title should only be inserted into the content area of a section and monklets defined with "Page Monklet" in the title can be inserted in the page content area or the content area of a section.
Page Monklet - App Links
This monklet uses the link list "App Links" to display featured image links. Each link in this list should have a name and an image. The image should be 568px by 168px.
Page Monklet - Featured Events (3)
Displays the 3 most recent events published as featured. You can use the find_category or find_group inline parameters as needed.
Page Monklet - Featured Links
This monklet uses a link list to display a row of featured links and you will use the find inline parameter to define which link list to display. Each link in this list should have an image and description. The description should be kept under 50 characters. Images should be kept at the same size for each link and the recommended size is 1,024px by 1,024px.
Section Monklet - Featured Links
This is the same monklet as "Page Monklet - Featured Links" but used for sections and will display below the section content in full width.
Page Monklet - Featured Sermon
Displays the most recent featured sermon. You can use the find_category or find_group inline parameters as needed.
*NOTE - The link for the sermon archive is hard coded into the monklet and current goes to /resources/sermons/. If the location of this page changes the link will need to be updated in the monklet.
Page Monklet - Get Tweet
This monklet displays the most recent tweet from a specific user/handle. First, create a section with the twitter user name in the description field (there should be no content in the section). Second, insert the monklet into the page or section you wish to display the most recent tweet and use the find inline parameter to define the section created in the first step.
In a page or section you will go to the HTML view and place the line of code below. This will display the two most recent images from the Instagram account "scgchurch". There should only be one of these code snippets on a page. On the home connect section this code snippet is place into the middle column.
<div>{{instagram-feed}}</div>
