What goes better with Posts than Resources? Posts users can create a personalized resource collection for their post and have it display in a Resource element alongside the Single Post element.
Add resources to a post
Here's how to add media from Resources to a post:
- Navigate to the Posts module and open the post you wish to add resources to.
- Click on the Attach Resources button underneath the Thumbnail & Resources section of the Edit Post screen.
- A Resources screen will appear. Click on the + Add Resource button to add as many resources as you want.
- Once complete, click Back to Post and return to the Edit Post screen.
- Finally, click Update (at the bottom right of the screen) to save the changes.
Display resources alongside a post
There are two components required to display a post’s resource collection in Composer:
- Post element set to Single format.
- Resource element placed in its vicinity and linked together to the Single Post element.
Here are the steps to get you started:
-
Add a Single Post element to your page.
-
Add a Resource element to your page. This element is usually placed under the Post element and should be set to either Grid or Slideshow format.
-
Navigate to the Post element settings, expand the Link To menu, and choose Element. From the dropdown list, select the Resource element.
When the link to a post with resources is clicked, the post will open in the Single Post element, which will trigger the Resource element to display the post’s attached resources.
Best Practice: Turn off Resource element name
Use the toggle to turn off the Resource element name in the element settings. This way, when the user views a post on the same page that doesn't have any resources attached, the element will be invisible.
