How to use the Content Module?

In the content management system, the Content Module is used to list previously created content in different areas of the website. Blog posts, announcements, updates, help center articles, or similar content can be presented to visitors through this module.

The Content Module does not create new content. It uses existing content records and lists them according to the selected group and module settings. Therefore, the records to be displayed in the module must be prepared in advance.

What is the purpose of the Content Module?

The Content Module allows content to be displayed on a specific page in a card, list, or other theme-defined format. For example, the homepage can feature recent blog posts, a page describing services can include related content, or the help center page can contain guides.

The way content is listed, the information displayed, and the design may vary depending on the theme used. Information such as title, cover image, short description, or date will be displayed to the extent supported by the theme.

How is the Content Module distinguished from other modules?

Some modules, such as sliders or FAQs, may have separate screens for managing module-specific records. The Content Module itself does not have a separate content creation screen. Content is created in the page and content management areas within the administration panel.

On which pages can the Content Module be used?

The Content Module can be used on the pages where it is needed. For example, a content group can be highlighted on the homepage, or records related to the selected group can be displayed on an information and section page.

Webayt With the module architecture renewed in version 1.9, the same type of module can be used multiple times on a single page. This allows you to list content from different groups in separate fields on a single page. Modules can also be defined for global use when needed.

Adding modules to pages, global usage, and ordering are not covered in this article. For those processes, please refer to the "How to Add Modules to Pages?" guide.

Where can I manage the content for the Content Module?

Content that you want to display in the Content Module is managed from the Pages > Content Pages section in the administration panel. The title, description, image, and relevant category or section information for these entries are prepared in their respective editing areas.

What is the purpose of group selection?

Group Selection determines which content group the Content Module will be associated with. By selecting a specific group, you can ensure that only content belonging to that group is listed on the page.

For example, posts from the "Blog" group can be displayed on the homepage, while guides from the "Help Center" group can be displayed on another page. When using two Content Modules on the same page, content can be separated by assigning a different group to each module.

If the "All Groups" option is available, the module can list records from multiple groups together. The records displayed will also depend on the theme and other listing settings used.

For more details on group structure, see the How to Use Groups guide.

How to use the same content module multiple times on a single page?

Webayt Prior to version 1.9, it was not possible to use the same module type multiple times on the same page. This restriction has been removed in the new module architecture.

For example, you could list blog content under the heading "Recent Posts" at the top of a page, and help center content under the heading "Guides" further down. These are two different uses of the same module type; their headings, groups, and the number of items displayed may differ.

This layout makes it easy to separate content within the same page according to its topic or purpose. The order in which modules are displayed is arranged using a drag-and-drop method on the central Module Management page.

Titles and Subtitles in the Content Module

The title describes the topic of the content listed by the module to the visitor. The subtitle can be used as a short description to support the title when needed.

What is the Title Level?

Webayt With version 1.9, a Heading Level setting was added to modules. This setting determines which HTML heading tag (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, or H6) the module heading will be marked with.

When choosing the heading level, the overall heading hierarchy of the page should be considered. For example, if the main heading of the page is H1, then H2 is generally preferred for main sections such as the table of contents; and H3 for subheadings of these sections. Heading level should not be determined solely based on image size.

What is the purpose of the Maximum Content Count?

The Maximum Number of Content Items determines the maximum number of content items that can be listed in the Content Module. For example, if you only want to display 3 blog posts on the homepage, you can enter the value 3 in this field.

Webayt In the module settings in version 1.9, the value 0 is used to display all eligible records without limiting the number of entries. However, since listing a large number of entries in a single field can affect page length and user experience, a suitable limit may be preferred.

How is content displayed on the website?

The Content Module can present entries in cards, bar lists, or a custom view depending on the theme used. A card can include a title, cover image, date, short description, or category information.

Visitors can navigate to the relevant content page using the links in the content list. Image proportions, number and placement of cards may vary depending on the theme design.

What should be considered when using the Content Module?

• Ensure that the content to be listed has already been created and is live.
• Ensure that the content has the correct category, section, and group relationships.
• If you are using the same module multiple times, evaluate the group and content count settings separately for each.
• Use clear and accurate language in the title and subtitle areas to reflect the content.
• Choose the heading level to match the H1–H6 hierarchy of the page.
• Determine the number of pieces of content to display based on the page design.
• After making the changes, check the desktop and mobile views of the page.

What to check if content is not visible?

If the module is listed on the page but its content is not visible, first check the records and the module's listing settings.

• Are the recordings of the content you expect to be shown available and live?
• Does the group selected for the module match the group information for the relevant content?
• Is the module active and being used on the correct page?
• Are the maximum number of items and other listing options consistent with the expected results?
• Is there a theme or cache status affecting how the content appears on the front end?

If caching is enabled, you can refresh the cache for the relevant page from Operational Actions → Caching . For details, please see the How to Use Caching guide.

Summary

The Content Module , Webayt, is a module in the content management system that lists previously created content according to selected groups and display settings. Content creation processes are not performed within the module itself, but in the relevant content management areas.

Webayt With version 1.9, the same Content Module can be used multiple times on a single page, with different groups and headings. Settings such as Heading Level and Maximum Number of Contents also help customize the module's usage within the page.
