Listing Template Overview
From this text, you will learn about the Listing Template settings and usage, as well as what other JetEngine functionalities are compatible with it.
Listing Templates Dashboard Settings
All created Listing Templates are stored in a table that can be found in the JetEngine > Listings submenu tab.
Besides the Title, the table has four more columns. The Source column shows the source of the data that was used in the listing. For post type/taxonomy displays what post type or taxonomy this listing is submitted to. The Author column shows who created the listing, while the Date shows when it was created.
In this menu window, you can add new Listing Templates by clicking the “Add New” button, edit the existing templates, and delete them.
Widgets Used in a Listing Template
There are six widgets created to display the dynamic information:
The links above will lead you to the usage tutorials.
Besides these widgets, you can use any other available for you but be aware that they will show static data. For example, if you use the Dynamic Image widget, it will show a picture you put into the corresponding meta field and those pictures will differ for every item (if you added different pictures, of course). And if you use the Image widget, all the items of the Listing Grid will show the same one picture.
Listing Template Sources
When you start to create a Listing Template, the first thing you will be asked to define is the Source. Here is a list of sources with links to guides that can help you create the Listing Item for that type of source:
- Posts;
- Taxonomies;
- Users;
- Repeater Field (that includes the Options Pages too);
- WooCommerce products data;
- Custom Content Type.
This is a general overview that gives you only a basic understanding of Listings. Go through the guides mentioned in the article to master the JetEngine settings.
