Components are a great way to re-use content you have already added to your site elsewhere. There are Components that can be used to embed either a News/Blog Category which will output a list of articles/posts.
Pre-requisite - You will need to ensure you have previously created a news or blog category and created an article or post, so that you have content to embed on to the page.
Inserting the Component
-
Click the Components icon from the editor toolbar, then select the Website Content> News Category OR Website Content> Blog Category option from the list.
- If you would like to display a title above your component, tick include title, and enter the title text.
- To select your news or blog category, click Browse. You will be presented with a tree-view of your site, showing only items where news/blogs exist. In the tree, choose the item that you would like to embed into your page, then click Select.
-
Click Limit to set the number of items to display.
- By default the items will be in the order they appear in the original category. You can change the sort order to either; date created or date edited.
- If you only want to show items from the category which were published in a particular date range, set a start & end date.
- Click OK to add the component to your page.
