Automated list

For content authoring guidance on how to add and configure an Automated list (including debugging sort order), see Automated list (content authoring).

The Automated List Component enables editors to create content lists and embed them on any page.

It uses a civictheme_automated_list paragraph, whose field values are processed by a View preprocessing function. This function maps these values as arguments to a pre-configured civictheme_automated_list view.

The component provides configurations via paragraph to a view allowing content type restrictions, show/hide pagination, altering the number of items and filter configuration options.

It is possible to replace the default civictheme_automated_list view with a more custom one required for a specific site via hook_civictheme_automated_list_view_name_alter() (see civictheme.api.php for details).

CivicTheme also provides support for filters in an exposed form. For views with only 1 exposed filter, Single Filter component (tag based) is enabled, but as soon as there is more than one exposed filter - the Group Filter component (with dropdown filters) is enabled automatically.

It is possible to opt-out from automated exposed filters conversion using the views.CivicThemeOptoutViewsExposedFilter flag on the theme settings page.
