News and event blocks

News and events only appear on the site where you place a news or event block: Chosen news story and Chosen event feature one item, News list and Event list show several. The lists can filter automatically by category, highlighting and – for events – time, or be picked by hand.

Single news, single event

One hand-picked news item or event as a teaser: card, list or compact view. The title, lead and image come from the content itself. If the chosen item is a draft or scheduled, the editor warns you that it will not appear publicly.

News list

Mode – automatic filtering or manual selection.
In automatic mode: categories (empty means all), count, order (newest first, highlighted first, random), highlighted news only, and skip the current news item – useful for a "related news" band at the bottom of a news page.
Display – grid, list, paged row, compact, featured + grid, mosaic.
On the card, optionally: category, date, lead, reading time, author, and the label of the "Read more" button.
In automatic mode the editor shows only the settings; the public page shows the actual list.

Event list

The same, with these additions:

Which events – upcoming, past or all. This is re-evaluated on every page load, so an upcoming list empties itself as events pass. An event without a date only shows under all.
If nothing matches the filter right now – for example every upcoming event has passed – the block shows nothing on the public page. Widen the time range or the filters if you expect rows.
By day layout – a programme split by day, with several day views.
Venue filter – all events, external exhibitions only, or without them.
Fixed positions – chosen events go first, in the order you set.
An "All" link under the list – for example to a page listing every event.
With manual selection the time range does not filter: a chosen past event stays in the list.

Good to know

For the top of a news or event page use the Page header block, which shows the content's own title, date, venue and image (see: Layout).
