News
- From the Menu select "Content/News".
- Make sure you red the Add/Edit News page in the Getting Started Section.
Implementation
- News -- a bit of a different creature, because it is actually a module. To insert news into a page that contains other content you would want to put this code into the Content section of your page: {cms_module module="News"} or the short version {news}.
- Important: your {news} tag must be inside the main {content} section or else when you click "more" it will not display the full detailed news article.
- Note: Under some circumstances using the {news} tag directly inside a page and call for specific selected articles, like from a specific category, {news} may not be working. In such cases the tag {cms_module module="news"} can solve the problem. For a category it looks like this: {cms_module module="news" category="your_category"}.
- News can be added to your site automatically. As an editor, all you have to do is to navigate to "Content/News" in the Admin Console. To add a news article, click on “Add Article”.
- If you want to read about the fields you have to fill in, go back to the Add News in the Getting Started section.
- You may try to tune the timezone of your server if it is not hosted near its browsers.
Field Definitions
- Field Definitions allow you to create additional fields for your news articles - e.g. to add consistent features like contact person, source, news image.
- Note: In order for Field Definitions to show up when you put the code for them in your News template, you must check the "Public" box next to them.
Handy Tips & Tricks:
- Adding different file types to upload
- Calling fields individually (specifically) in a template - how to call field definitions in your news template/s.
- Link summary to content page - useful for highlighting updated pages on your website.
- None-english characters incorrect with the RSS module. You need to change ISO to ITF-8:
- In file: modules/RSS/rss_fetch.inc line# 358 - Change "MAGPIE_OUTPUT_ENCODING" from "ISO-8859-1" to "UTF-8" solves the problem.
