Displaying Articles in a Module

Do you remember how you added a module to display blog posts in the right column? You can do the same thing for articles. You can display lists of articles (such as the the most recently posted and most poplar) in a module. This provides visibility to new items on you website.

From the Main menu:

Select Settings > Modules.

Tip
You can also access the Admin Modules page by clicking Modules in the Quick Admin area.
On the Admin Modules page, click the Assigned Modules tab.
On the Assigned Modules tab, click Add Module.
In the Assign new module area, select the Articles module as the Module Name. We will configure this module to display the last (most recently added) articles.

The Assign new module area of the Admin Modules page.

Click Module Options. Tiki reloads the page. The Edit module tab area now shows additional options, specific to the selected module.
On the Basic tab, enter the following information in each field:
- Module name: Select the Articles module.
- Position: Select Right. You will add this module to the right column.
- Order: Select 10. The Newest Blog Posts and Newest Forum Posts modules are already on the right column. This will place the articles module under the Login module.
- Groups: Select Anonymous, so that all visitors can see the module.
  
  Tip
  You can use this setting to "hide" modules and make them visible only to selected groups.
On the Module tab, enter the following information on each field:
- Sort: Enter created.
On the Appearance tab, enter the following information on each field:
- Rows: Enter 5. Now the module will display the 5 most recently added articles.
- Module Title: Enter Lastest published articles.This will override the module's default title.
Click Preview. Tiki reloads the page and shows you a preview of the module.

Note
Since you only have 1 article, the module only lists 1 item.
If everything looks good, click Assign. Tiki prompts for confirmation, then saves the information and reloads the page.
