6

Content Filter Rules

Sets the content filter rules for the module.

1. The Title field gives you the ability to set a title for the module itself. Every module has to have a title, though you can opt to hide it from public view for a cleaner, more template integrated look. The Position field right below it gives you the ability to set the position within the template's layout the module should appear in.

2. The Show Title option gives you the ability to determine whether or not the title of the module will appear with the module on the frontend.

3. The Status option allows you to determine the current publishing status of the module. An unpublished module will still appear on the backend for administrators, but will not appear on the live site.

4. The Access option gives you the ability to determine which user group will be able to see the module on the frontend. Someone logged in as a registered user may be able to see a module set at that level while random visitors do not see it.

5. The Filtered Article List gives you access to item-specific settings including:

   • Title - This is the title of the item as it appears in the module. You can select article title, none, or custom. If article title is selected in the Simple content provider, the simple item's title in the Filtered Article List will be used.
   • Description - This is the main text body of the item. You can use HTML in this field to customize how you want the content to appear.
   • Image - This field enables you to add an image which appears as a background for the item.
   • Price - Enables you to place a price in for the item.
   • Feature 1 - 4 - This field enables you to enter a feature that appears in a row for the item.
   • Link - If set, the link will show a Read More button as well as link the title. On specific themes, it will link the image in the item, as well.
   • Link Text - Allows you to set specified text to appear in the link button.

6. The Content Filter Rules section gives you the ability to determine how the module will pull content to make up the quotes. For example, you can have the module pull articles that are within a specific category, contain a particular name or keyword in the title, or choose specific articles. You can also modify how this content is sorted in the module. In the case of a Simple provider, this area allows you to add new items to the Filtered Article List.

Below the Content Filter Rules section are two options areas specific to the layout mode you have chosen. We have broken down the Tables Layout Options and Grids Article Defaults sections below.
