Posts block

The posts block is by far the most customizable block on the Bettermode Platform. It allows you to define how members view your posts based on the customizable options you choose to use. Content is king in communities, so you need to consider how your members would like to view content by defining the most appropriate style and configurations to ensure posts are discoverable, easy to read, and stunning to look at! Different post types require different styles to maximize member engagement with your content.

You can customize:

• The posts block title

• The posts block description

• The heading action

• Views (add views that appear as “tabs” in the posts block for different post viewing configurations)

When customizing the views, you can configure:

• The name of the view

• The source (where the posts are sourced from; specific space or the entire site).

• The post type (one post type can be selected per view). You can’t use multiple post types in the same view - they have to be separated.

• The filter (Choose to filter by author, tag or published at).

• How the posts are sorted (Update date / Publish date / Latest activity / Reply count / Reaction count / Title)

You can customize the style which will affect the configurable options below it. The available styles are List / Card / Gallery / Carousel.

List view configurations:

• Divider (toggle on and off)

• On click (open post page)

• Display “show more” toggle (toggling on displays a show more button if the amount of posts is greater than the number of posts that are currently being shown).

• Number of posts (select between 1-20). If “show more” toggle is activated, it will display more posts when the button is clicked on depending on the value that you set here.

Specific list view configurable post elements You can quickly make different post elements visible or invisible by clicking on the eye icon, and you can move each element by clicking on the 6 dots and dragging them up and down to change the order.
