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 Output

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 ]

Pocket Change: A Story of Coins through Time

Coins like those in your pocket have helped shape empires for thousands of years. This exhibit showcases more than six dozen coins, focusing on East Asia and the Mediterranean, and spanning more than two millennia. Each coin is both an artifact and a historical document, allowing numismatists (or coin collectors) to trace their evolution from raw metals to standardized modern currency. In this exhibit, visitors will learn how coins reveal the politics of long-gone states and how they circulated widely throughout the world, providing information on trade networks and ancient cities. Coins give a human connection to the past— mundane objects that were touched by people like us, thousands of years ago. Admission is free.

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.
