Monklets

Monklets are snippets of code that can be used to dynamically display content from the CMS. While they may only look like this - {{staff-page}}, they are working hard in the background with code to display more content from the CMS like your latest sermons, blog posts, articles, a contact form, or staff members.

Overview

To insert a Monklet into your content, click Insert > Insert Monklet and select the Monklet of your choice.
