People related to content blocks

The site gives you two different system blocks for the purpose of featuring specific individuals as a sidenote to a page's main content:

  • Persons related to content block
  • Persons Related to Content: Person Card of first person related to content block
What are they and how do they work?

The two blocks referenced above are system blocks, which means, unlike a custom block, this itself won't contain manually-entered information; instead, it will rely on you to enter in the name of a person with an existing Person content type page in the Additional Options » Related Content section, if available.

 

How to add the Content related by Tags block
  1. Navigate to and Edit the page where the list of related people should be displayed.
  2. Expand the Additional Options » Related Content section and locate the Person Reference field(s).
  3. Begin typing the name of a person with an existing Person content type page, using the available autocomplete feature if useful.
