Show a list of recent news, upcoming events, topical research, or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Display posts from the current site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’d like to display a list of posts on your site, you can do that with a shortcode called Display Posts. Display Posts lets you use a shortcode to do all of the hard work. The shortcode has many parameters<\/a> that you can use to customize the display. A simple example that shows up to 10 announcements from the past two years would be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[display-posts category=\"announcements\" image_size=\"thumbnail\" include_date=\"true\" date_format=\"F j, Y\" posts_per_page=\"10\" no_posts_message=\"No recent news to display\" date_query_after=\"2 years ago\"]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Display posts from another ClarkU site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes, you might want to display posts from another site.  For example, maybe you want to show a list of programs or courses.  For that we have a different shortcode that extends Display Posts.  It’s called Display Posts Multisite, and it works almost just like the regular Display Posts, but you have to identify the site you want to draw from using the blog_id parameter.  To display a list of 4+1 Accelerated Master’s Degrees, you’d do it like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[display-posts-multisite blog_id=\"2\" post_type=\"clarku_program\" posts_per_page=\"10\" order=\"asc\" orderby=\"title\" taxonomy=\"degree_type\" tax_term=\"accelerated-masters\" tax_operator=\"IN\" aspect_ratio=\"3x2\" include_excerpt=\"true\"]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

    Custom ClarkU attributes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Clark has implemented a few custom attributes that make it easy to create beautiful, dynamic lists of content.  The most important attribute to know about is called “template.”  Most templates ignore the display posts formatting parameters, but they do tend to   There are a few generic templates, and a few very specific ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Cards<\/strong>  template=\"cards\"<\/code>  formats the posts as a grid of tiled cards.  Cards has three additional parameters:\n
        \n
      • Show Search show_search=\"true\"<\/code> will display a filter bar above the cards.  Like in the program finder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Show Search Taxonomy show_search_taxonomy=\"category, tags\"<\/code> allows you to identify drop-down filters that appear next to the text search.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Aspect ratio aspect_ratio=\"3x2\"<\/code> makes the images on the cards to conform to a particular aspect ratio so they all look uniform. Other available aspect ratios are: 16x9<\/code>, 1x1<\/code>, and 2x3<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Courses<\/strong> template=\"courses\"<\/code> displays courses in a grid layout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Courses<\/strong> template=\"courses-list\"<\/code> displays courses in a list layout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      • Events Venue<\/strong> venue_id=\"\"<\/code> limits events to particular venue(s) by id.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      • Faculty List<\/strong> template=\"faculty-list\"<\/code> displays faculty profiles as a list, used in faculty profiles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Grid<\/strong> template=\"grid\"<\/code> looks similar to cards, but the items are not linked to anything.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Stories Grid<\/strong> template=\"stories-grid\"<\/code> looks similar to cards, but they display the topic instead of the category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Stories List<\/strong> template=\"stories-list\"<\/code> look like horizontally-oriented cards, but they display the topic instead of the category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • People Table<\/strong> template=\"people-table\"<\/code> displays people in a table format, used on the people directory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Programs Grid<\/strong> template=\"programs-grid\"<\/code> displays programs as cards in a grid layout, and includes a filter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
