News lists

Display news dynamically.

Similar to other dynamic content, you query ClarkU News to display a list of news anywhere else on the site. It uses the display-posts-multisite shortcode, and there are a few parameters specific to news:

  • Events blog_id is 37.
  • The events post type is story
  • Stories Grid Template uses template="stories-grid" to display eventsin a grid layout.
  • Stories List Template uses template="stories-list" to display events as a list.

In addition, for showing recent news, we’ll be using attributes to short by date, and exclude older stories.
