Layouts

Outputting List Views on the Front-End

Like with other Modules, you will use a Liquid Tag to output a list of Module Items on a Page, Page Template, Email or Partial Liquid File of your choice.

Example
liquid
Copy
{%- include 'module'
    id: '17'
    layout: 'default'
    per_page: '20'
    show_pagination: 'true'
    sort_type: 'properties.name'
    sort_order: 'asc' 
-%}

You can use the following parameters:

• ID - This must be set to 17 as this refers to the ID of the Media Downloads Module
• layout - The Layout Folder containing the List Layout
• per_page - How many Items should be outputted on each Page. If more Items are available than this, Pagination controls will display.
• show_pagination - if set to 'true' , pagination controls will display in the default position when more than one Page of results is available.
• sort_type - The field you'd like to sort by e.g. "properties.name", or "created_at"
• sort_order - Choose asc for ascending values or desc for descending
• category_ids - Pass in a string of comma-separated IDs of Categories to filter the List so only Items assigned to those Categories can be displayed.
• item_ids - Control exactly which Items can be displayed by passing in a string of comma-separated IDs. You can find the Items' IDs in the Admin.
• expiry - The number of seconds that the link is valid for after the page has finished loading. Default is 600 (10 minutes). Note this is different from
• expiry_date, see Available Fields.

Media Downloads Layouts

There will be a default layout once you install the module but you can create your own.

Creating a Layout File

Layouts can be created at the following path: layouts/modules/module_17/my_layout_name/

Developing a List Layout

You'll need to create a list folder in your layout folder and fill it with the following files:

• wrapper.liquid
• item.liquid

Your wrapper.liquid file should contain the following Liquid which determines where the list of Items will go:

Example
liquid
Copy
{%- include 'modules/siteglide_media_downloads/get/get_items'
    item_layout: 'item' 
-%}
