Reference

In this section, we'll add reference code which is relevant across Modules. Specific Modules may have further relevant reference material in their own sections of the docs.

Standard Module Fields

These Fields are available to all standard modules:

Field Name	Liquid Tag	Description
Item Name	{{ this['name'] }}	name of the Blog Post
Item Slug	{{ this['slug'] }}	item URL
Weighting	{{ this['weighting'] }}	weight of item, used for sorting
Release Date	{{ this['release_date'] }}	release date of the item
Expiry Date	{{ this['expiry_date'] }}	expiry date of the item
Enabled	{{ this['enabled'] }}	enable/disable the item

Output a Module Layout

List Layouts

{% include 'module', id: '3', layout: 'default' %}

Detail Layouts

{% include 'module', id: '3', layout: 'default', type: 'detail', item_ids: insert_item_id %}

Usually this is not outputted directly. Instead, a detail page is dynamically generated for you by the Siteglide Admin at the chosen slug, however, it can be useful in some situations to output manually!

Liquid Include Parameters

• id - the Module's ID

• item_ids - output one or more module items, comma separated

• category_ids - output all items in one or more categories, comma separated

• layout - default is /default/ - 'layout' values are relative to the folder: layouts/modules/Blog (module_3)/[layout name]

• per_page - defines the number of items outputted on the page

• show_pagination - default is true - defines if items should be paginated when the per_page is met.

• sort_type - defines the type by which items are ordered

  • properties.name - name of the Module item (alphabetical)

  • created_at - date the Module item was created

  • updated_at - date the Module item was last edited

  • properties.weighting - weighting of the Module item

  • properties.release_date - date the item is set to be released

  • properties.module_field_3_1 - Sort by a core or custom field

• sort_order - defines the order in which the type is sorted asc - sort items in ascending order desc - sort items in descending order

• collection - default is 'false' - If you set it as collection: 'true' then any layout is suppressed.Data is accessible via {{context.exports.webapp_1.data}}. For Example, name would be: {{context.exports.webapp_1.data.result.items[0]['name']}}

• use_search - Allows the Module to be searched by keyword parameter in URL

• use_adv_search - Allows the Module to be filtered by core/custom field IDs in URL parameters

• datasource - true/false - When outputting a "nested" module inside another, the inner module tag can be given this parameter to prevent it from inheriting parameters which would change its page etc.

If you nest any more Module or WebApp layouts inside this Module Layout, they will inherit the type parameter. This means if you want to input a nested list layout, you may need to reset the type parameter back to list with type: 'list'.

Output the Most Recent Item

To get the most recently "released" item, you can use the sort_type parameter to sort by properties.release_date. You can alternatively use created_at to sort by the Item you most recently added to the Admin.

{% include 'module', id: '3', layout: 'default', sort_type: 'properties.release_date', sort_order: 'desc', per_page: '1' %}

Then just output one post- to get the first Item. To do this, set per_page to 1.

Use the sort_order to control whether you get the first or last item. To get the latest Item by date, the date will have a higher value, so use 'desc' (starts with highest number) rather then 'asc' .
