Blurb Question For Stories

LiveWhale
1

Hello,

We are working on a new Newsroom.

https://iu-news-dev.lwstory.com/kelley/

We are trying to insert a Blurb but it is not displaying. My Blurb code is:

			  		<widget type="blurbs">
					  <arg id="id">2924</arg>
					</widget>

The blurb in itself is using a widget: Welcome to LiveWhale
We are trying to display the widget under Kelley Student and Alumni Stories.

I also tried using this:

      <widget type="news">
          <arg id="widget_template">unit-newsroom-headlines-in-brief</arg>
        </widget>

That works. But as soon as I tag <arg id="tag">Student and Alumni Features</arg> it displays nothing.

Any thoughts why it is not displaying?

Akbar?

Can we add a tag arg id here:

<widget type="news">
	<title>Headlines in Brief Kelley</title>
	<args>
	  <arg id="clean_markup">true</arg>
	  <arg id="paginate">false</arg>
	  <arg id="max">3</arg>
    <arg id="date_format">%M %j, %Y</arg>
    <arg id="group">me</arg>
    <arg id="exclude_duplicates">true</arg>
	  <arg id="format">

	  <div class="rvt-card rvt-c-card--news rvt-c-card--external rvt-cols-lg">
		<div class="rvt-card__body">
		  <div class="rvt-card__eyebrow"><time>{date}</time></div>
		  
		  <h3 class="rvt-card__title">
		    <a href="{href}">
			  <div class="rvt-cols-11">
				{headline_clean}
			  </div>
			</a>
		  </h3>
		</div>

	  </div>

	  </arg>
	</args>
</widget>

It does not seem to work

Hi Akbar,

Sorry to hear this is giving you trouble. Yes, the blurb and news widgets should support the “tag” argument.

I wonder if something else is preventing the intended result from showing up – could it be Hidden, have a Privacy setting on it, or something else that may be conflicting with other settings of the widget you’re using? Hope this may help!

It is not hidden. But I am noticing that the generated widget markups has multiple blank markups:

<widget type="news">
<arg id="widget_template">unit-newsroom-headlines-in-brief</arg>
<arg id="max"></arg>
<arg id="paginate"></arg>
<arg id="clean_markup"></arg>
<arg id="date_format"></arg>
<arg id="format"></arg>
<arg id="group"></arg>
<arg id="max">3</arg>
<arg id="paginate">false</arg>
<arg id="group">me</arg>
<arg id="tag">Student and Alumni Features</arg>
<arg id="clean_markup">true</arg>
<arg id="date_format">%M %j, %Y</arg>
</widget>

Also noticing that even when the widget template is not including an image, the output of the widget includes an image in the widget builder. Not sure if this is a bug.

Thanks.

Hi Akbar,

The empty args are for when you blank out or override something from the widget template, so that’s to be expected there.

If you wanted to spell out some steps to reproduce (for example, “save an item with tag=this and make a widget like that”), we could try to reproduce on our own servers. Otherwise, it may be something that needs a closer look at for your specific instance, and you could reach our via your personalized email address to allow us to log in and see what’s happening.

Let us know what you think,
