Localist Shortcode

This shortcode ties into events.wfu.edu our localist events website and displays events based on the attributes on the shortcode. Many of our websites use this plugin to display events related to the content of that website. We also offer our University Events block for a more integrated look and feel.

UPDATE: Looks like the natural display for each of these seems off in our new theme. We should check to make sure all the css is being loaded for these and that there isn’t any non-secure styles/scripts. Also images are broken in the API shortcode so we probably need to ensure we are using https for these.

Shortcode: Localist Widget

The Localist widget shortcode ties into the basic widget building functionality localist provides. It comes wrapped with html and has very little ability to change the html structure.

Shortcode

[ wfu_localist_widget num=10 days=30 ]

Shortcode: Localist API

The Localist API shortcode has more parameters and can return a more custom set of events returned in json format allowing the html display of the events to be controlled on our end.

Shortcode

[ wfu_localist_api pp=10 days=30 ] or [ wfu_localist_api num=10 days=30 ]

Return to Sender? Aboriginal Cultural Heritage and Repatriation

Many objects in museum collections around the world were taken unethically from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia. Though some objects have been returned in order to address colonial histories and honor cultural practices today, neither museums nor indigenous communities are able to repatriate everything--nor do they want to. Featuring Aboriginal objects and highlighting the Lam Museum’s experience attempting repatriation but ultimately not enacting it, the exhibit raises important questions for the future of cross-cultural exhibits: Who has the right to hold, display, or interpret these objects? And how can museums protect cultural heritage when return isn't possible? Admission is free.

All About Virtual Physical Therapy: What is It, and Should You Try It?

From Hinge Health 

When you’re dealing with muscle or joint pain, how do you usually handle it? Do you rest and take a break from your usual exercise? Take over-the-counter or prescription pain medication? Turn to a heating pad or ice, or seek out a physical therapist, chiropractor, massage therapist, or other in-person treatments? These are all valid options. But they generally overlook the fact that regular, consistent exercises that are tailored to your specific pain condition are the best way to keep your muscles and joints healthy over time and soothe pain flares when they do happen.

Presented by a Hinge Health expert physical therapist, this event will discuss the benefits of virtual physical therapy programs, how they differ from traditional in-person physical therapy, and how Hinge Health can help you reduce back, joint, and muscle pain 3 things you will take away from this event:

- What virtual physical therapy includes

- How it's similar and different from traditional in-person physical therapy

- How Hinge Health's virtual physical therapy programs are tailored to your unique needs

We hope to see you there!

This webinar will be recorded and a link for on-demand viewing will be sent to all registrants 1 day after the webinar concludes.
