Homepage 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 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 define items from a specific group, category, etc. You can use one of the inline "find" parameters such as the "find_category" parameter to display items from a specific category. Example: {{section-monklet-featured-articles|find_category="stories"}}
These monklets were designed to be used on your custom homepage, but can be used in other full width sections throughout your site! You can find other section monklets included on your theme HERE.
Next Steps
This monklet will display two images/text/buttons from a link list. The list of items can be setup under Content > Link Lists. The name, link, image, description, and button text fields are used for each item.
When using this monklet, you will need to use the "find" parameter to tell the monklet which link list to display. An example would look like this: {{home-next-steps-section-monklet|find="home-next-steps"}}
The recommended image size for this monklet is 1200x800 pixels.
What We Do
This monklet will display four custom tabs on the left with content for each tab on the right. The tabs are controlled by the "Home - What We Do Tabs" Link List. The text inside the red box will come from the link Name field and the image for the tab will use the Image field. The text/links to the left of the image is controlled by the section that's put inside the Description field of the link.
Upcoming Event
This monklet will display the most recent featured event.
If you want to display the latest event from a specific category, you can use the find_category inline parameter as needed.
Here is an example of what this would look like if you wanted to display an event from the category "All Church Event": {{home-upcoming-event-section-monklet|find_category="all-church-event"}}
From the Bishop
This monklet will display the three most recent messages that have the category "From the Bishop" assigned to them.
{{home-latest-messages-section-monklet|find_category="from-the-bishop"}}
If you want to display the latest messages from a different category, you can use the find_category inline parameter as needed.
Here is an example of what this would look like if you wanted to display messages from the category "Prayer": {{home-latest-messages-section-monklet|find_category="prayer"}}
News & Updates
This monklet will display the three most recent blog posts. The monklet is setup to pull from the "News & Updates" blog, but that can be changed.
Note: you must use the "name" inline parameter to define which blog to pull from. Here is an example of what this would look like: {{section-monklet-latest-post|name="news-updates"}}
Find a Church
This monklet displays a map and list of the churches that are added to the Branches module of the CMS.
