What are News List blocks?
News List blocks are available to SiteMasonry sites that are connected to Content Hub. These blocks automatically update as more content is shared with the site, showing the most recent articles that match the given criteria.
There are two styles of News Lists that can be used: Mini List and Full Paged List. The News List block also offers a variety of filtering options, allowing you to customize what stories will appear in the list.
Examples of News List Blocks
Mini Lists
Mini List style blocks will always show the title and publication date of the five most recent articles that match the block's filter settings. If fewer than five articles meet those settings, less articles will be shown. There is no pagination or "view more" button on a mini list. If you wish for a reader to be able to view more than five articles, a link to a more complete feed is advised.
Mini Lists fit well into a range of spaces. Bear in mind that the length of the titles of your articles will be the primary determiner of how long this block appears to be.
Example Mini List
- December 2, 2024
- November 12, 2024
- November 1, 2024
- October 25, 2024
- October 2, 2024
Full Paged Lists
Full Paged lists display an article's title, summary, thumbnail, and publication date. These lists will display all articles that meet the filter settings for the block. If this list is longer than the block allows for on one page, then navigation to more pages will be added to the bottom of the list. All other content for the page will copy over to these later pages, so make sure you are styling your page with that in mind.
It is highly advised that Full Paged lists be considered the primary content for any page they are on, and be used in 100% or 70% width columns.
