Overview #
The dynamic content settings are essential for managing the overall look and feel of your theme. These settings are applied globally across your site but can be overridden at the section or block level. They allow for the automatic integration of content from various sources, enhancing the flexibility and customization of your theme.
Key components and functionality #
Dynamic content settings
The dynamic content settings enable the automatic pulling of content from a blog or through the addition of blocks. This feature is designed to streamline content management and ensure that the most relevant and up-to-date information is displayed across your site.
Blog
This setting allows you to specify a blog from which content can be dynamically pulled. It is useful for integrating blog posts into various sections of your site, ensuring that content is fresh and engaging.
Tag
The tag setting enables the use of specific tags to filter and display content. This can be particularly useful for categorizing and showcasing content that aligns with specific themes or topics.
Number of items
This setting controls the number of items displayed from the dynamic content source. You can set a range from 0 to 50, with a default value of 0. Adjusting this setting allows you to manage the volume of content displayed, ensuring it fits within the design and layout of your site.
Usage examples #
-
Integrating Blog Content: You might consider using the blog setting to automatically pull the latest posts from your blog into a homepage section. This keeps your site updated with fresh content without manual updates.
-
Tag-Based Content Display: Consider utilizing the tag setting to display content related to specific promotions or events. For example, during a holiday season, you can tag relevant posts and have them automatically appear in a dedicated section.
-
Managing Content Volume: Adjust the number of items setting to control how much content is displayed in a section. For a clean and minimal look, you might choose to display fewer items, while a more content-rich section might benefit from a higher number of displayed items.
These settings provide a robust framework for managing dynamic content, ensuring that your site remains engaging and relevant to your audience.
