Monklets
Overview
Monklets are predefined code snippets that allow you to bring other module content into your pages (ie: events.). There are a few monklets that have been created that are placed in the content area of your fullwidth sections on your Subpage and Homepage.
You can use a monklet inside a section by placing your cursor in the content area and selecting:
Insert > Monklet > "Desired Monklet"
Some monklets allow inline parameters to be added into the monklet tag to pull items from a specific group, category, etc. -> see this help article for details. For additional information about using monklets, check out our help article here.
Note: you will see some additional monklets listed for your custom layouts (ministry, new here, etc); however, these are only available for use with the respective layouts.

Specialty Monklets
These specialty monklets can be inserted in the page content area of your Subpage templates.
Staff Monklet
The "Staff Monklet" can be inserted into the content area of a page to display a list of staff members. This monklet displays all members assigned to the group "Staff".
Gallery Monklet
The "Gallery Monklet" can be inserted into the content area of a page to display a specific photo gallery grid.
After you insert the monklet, the specific gallery name you want to display needs to be added using the "find_gallery" parameter. The name of the gallery should be in slug format, which is the gallery name in lowercase with dashes in place of spaces.
For example, if you created a Gallery titled "Kids Photos", the monklet tag structure would look like this: {{gallery-monklet|find_gallery="kids-photos"}}
