Sidebar Sections & 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 Sidebar Monklets that come with your theme and inserted into the content editor of some Sidebar Sections. These Sidebar Sections can be assigned to as many pages as you would like.

You can use a monklet inside a section by placing your cursor in the content area, selecting Insert > Insert Monklet > "Desired Monklet". See the screenshot below

Here is a help article that goes over how to use Monklets: https://help.ekklesia360.com/article/using-monklets/

Some monklets allow the use of inline parameters to define items from a specific group, category, etc. An example of this is using an inline parameter to display only Youth events on a Youth Group page. Here is a help article that goes over how to use inline parameters: https://help.ekklesia360.com/article/using-inline-parameters/ 

*NOTE - Monklets that have "Sidebar Monklet" in the title should only be inserted into the content editor of a sidebar section.

Available Sidebar Monklets

The Upcoming Events sidebar monklet will display the 3 most recent published events.  The find_category of find_group inline parameter can be used as needed.
