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 Post which will output a single article/post of your choice. The component will display the title, introduction and thumbnail, as well as a link to access the full item of content.
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
- Select Components in the Edit tab:
- Select the Website Content > News Story or Website Content > Blog Post
- The Add Component window opens:
- Select Browse to open a tree view of your site from which you can select the news item or blog post. Select the item you would like to embed into your page, then select Select.
- Enter the number of news items / blog posts to display by entering a number in Limit.
- Select OK.
The template and attachment options are only relevant if you have bespoke/custom styling set up for your components
