Collections and cards

These blocks pull your own content — events, posts, people, venues, and more — onto a page, so a listing or a header stays current as you add and edit that content. They divide into two jobs: blocks that list many records, and the header that sits on a single record's page.

The piece they share is the Card — the repeated unit that holds one record's title, image, and supporting details. A Collection or Featured block decides which records appear and how the listing is arranged; the Card decides what each item shows and how it looks. You don't add a Card to a page on its own — you edit the card inside the block that holds it.

How they relate

• Collection lists records automatically. Pick a content type and it shows everything of that type as cards, staying in sync as content changes. It can also list a hand-picked or rule-based set, and add filters readers use to narrow the list.
• Card is the repeated unit inside a Collection or Featured block. Its Type decides which details it can hold — an event card carries a date and venue, a person card a role and pronouns — and its layout controls how each item looks.
• Featured spotlights a hand-picked set of records as a full-width carousel, one slide per record, with per-slide overrides. Reach for it to highlight a curated few rather than an auto-generated list.
• Calendar shows your events in date-based formats — a running list of dates, a what's-on grid, a day-by-day schedule, or an A-Z index — with a shared filter panel.
• Masthead is the large header at the top of a single record's page. It matches the kind of page it sits on and is built from that page's own details.
• Event Instances and Venue add event detail below a Masthead — the performance dates with booking buttons, and where the event takes place.
