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 pages and full width sections on both Subpages and your Homepage.

You can use a monklet 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 defined with "Section" in the title can be used in sidebar sections. Other monklets should be used in fullwidth sections.

Rotating Blockquotes Monklet

Displays various quotes in a rotating format by looking for a link list. You can use this monklet in the page content area or a section. Steps to using this monklet:

  1. Create link list by going to Content > Link Lists > Add a new Link List
  2. Add a new link. The "name" of the link doesn't matter, but everything in the "Description" field will display on the page
  3. Insert the monklet and tell it to "find" the name of the link list you created using the inline parameter syntax. Ex: {{rotating-blockquotes-monklet|find="rotating-blockquotes-example"}}

Section Monklet - Recent Sermons (Contemporary & Blended)

Displays the next four upcoming sermons with either the blended or contemporary category added, depending on which monklet option you are using. To use this monklet, simply insert it into a section and it will display the latest sermon information. You can use the find_group or find_category parameters as needed.

You have two options:

  1. Blended: {{recent-sermons-blended-section-monklet}}
  2. Contemporary: {{recent-sermons-contemporary-section-monklet}}


Section Monklet - Arena Events

Displays the 6 most recent upcoming events added to the event module in Shelby Arena. This can only be used in a section on a Subpage, not the content area of a page. To use this monklet, simply insert it into a section. If you'd like to display the most recent three events from a specific category, there is a field called "Arena Events Category" where you can type the name of the category and it will filter the monklet automatically. Inline parameters do not work with this monklet.

Arena Events - Ministry Monklet

Displays the most recent upcoming events added to the event module in Shelby Arena. This can only be used in a section on a Ministry Template. To use this monklet, simply insert it into a section. If you'd like to display the most recent events from a specific category, there is a field called "Arena Events Category" where you can type the name of the category and it will filter the monklet automatically. Inline parameters do not work with this monklet.

Section Monklet - Latest Blog Post

This monklet displays the latest blog post.  You must use the "name" inline parameter to define which blog to pull from. This can be used in a section. You have an additional monklet with slightly different styling to be used in the content area of a page.

Here is an example of what this would look like: {{latest-blog-post-section-monklet|name="from-pastor-ray"}}

Featured Event Monklet

Displays a single upcoming featured event from Shelby CMS. This can be used in the content area of a page or a section. It will display the next upcoming featured event if no parameters are used. To use this monklet, insert into a section. You can tell it to display the next upcoming featured event in a specific category or group using an inline parameter. For example: {{featured-event-monklet|find_category="staff"}}
