Monklets are predefined code snippets that allow you to bring in other module content (sermons, events, etc.) into your pages.  There are a few monklets that have been created that are placed in the content area of your sidebar sections.

You can use a monklet inside a section by placing your cursor in the content area, selecting Insert > Insert Monklet > "Desired Monklet".

Some monklets allow/require inline parameters to be passed to define items from a specific group, category, etc.  http://help.monkcms.com/article/using-monklets/ provides details on using these parameters.

You can use one of the inline find parameters such as the find_category parameter to display a items from a specific category.   Once the monklet has been inserted you will manually type in a pipe after the monklet name followed by the find_category= and then enclose the category slug in quotes.  A slug is the name of an item in lowercase with dashes in place of spaces eg. My Category would have a slug of my-category.  The find_group parameter works in the same way.

Example - {{section-monklet-featured-articles|find_category="stories"}}

Monklets that are defined with "Section Monklet" in the title can only be inserted into the content area of a full width section.

This monklet will display the most recent article published as featured.  In the left column and the top right column.  The next two featured articles will display at the bottom of the right column.  The find_category or find_group inline paramter can be used as needed.

This monklet will display the 3 most recent events published as featured.  The find_category of find_group inline parameter can be used as needed.

The monklet actually uses the image assigned to the section for the left column background image.  This image should be 680 pixels wide by 798 pixels in height.

This monklet will display the most recent blog post from all blogs that is published as featured.  You can use the find_catgegory or find_group inline parameter as needed.

This Monklet displays the most recent sermon.  The video option takes priority and if no video is assigned the audio verbiage and link will dsiplay.  You can use the find_catgegory or find_group inline parameter as needed.
