General Module Reference

This reference gives you a quick guide to all the code you can use with the Blog, but some features are available to all Modules, see more:

Blog Fields

The Blog uses standard module fields as well as it's own core fields:

Blog Navigation & Filtering

As always, to use filtering on an included module layout, add the use_adv_search parameter. To allow searching, add use_search. These settings instruct this component to watch the URL for changes in URL parameters and will adjust results accordingly when the URL changes; forms, anchors or JS (for example, the SiteBuilder Live Updates API) can be used to change the URL and apply these.

{%- include 'module'
    id: '3',
    layout: 'default',
    use_search: 'true',
    use_adv_search: 'true',
-%}

By Date

(Requires use_adv_search)

Include the Archive Layout (included in the default layout, or make your own) to list all available years or months containing blog posts.

{%- include 'modules/siteglide_blog/get/get_blog_archive'
    archive_layout: "default/archive"
    archive_layout_type: "sidebar_years_and_date_search" 
-%}

Inside an archive layout, you have access to the following variables which can be looped over to find the months in which at least one blog post was published: blog_archive_years and months_by_year

To apply filters, the URL must be given the following parameters:

  • A combination of range_gt, range_gte, range_lt, range_lte to set the date range to "range greater than", "range greater than or equal to" etc., in the format: %Y-%m-%d.

  • range_type - an optional convention, you can set this to e.g. "between" or "month" so that you can interpret the URL accordingly when you arrive.

  • range_field - is used in Events module, but not needed here. Default is to use release date for range field

By Category

(Requires use_adv_search)

Include the following liquid to dynamically get a list of available Blog Categories for the User to select:

{%- include 'modules/siteglide_system/get/get_categories'
    categories_layout: 'default/categories'
    categories_layout_type: 'sidebar' 
-%}

To apply filters, the URL must be given the following parameters:

  • category - to be given the value of one or more category IDs to filter by, comma separated.

By Author

(Requires use_adv_search)

{%- include 'modules/siteglide_authors/get/get_authors'
    author_layout: 'default/author'
    author_layout_type: 'sidebar'
    author_field: 'module_field_3_4' 
-%}

To apply filters, the URL must be given the following parameters:

  • module_field_3_4 - set to a valid Author's module item ID

  • author_name - an optional convention making it easier to display this when arriving at the list.

Keyword Search

Link to the page with a keyword parameter in the URL to perform a search. (Requires use_search)

<form action="{{context.location.pathname}}">
  <input type="search" placeholder="enter search term..." name="keyword">
</form>
