Adding content into latest News or C&Y News
To add content into latest News or C&Y News (or both) you simply need to add content of type News Item.
How does this work?
Clicking on the Main menu item "What's happening > Latest News" quite reasonably takes you to the page on which the latest news is displayed.
This page is a "view". Views are created in the website using the Built-in Views User Interface. A view gathers together, filters and sorts content held on the website.
This view gathers together published content of the type "News Item"
where today's date is not greater than the 'Move to archive' date.
It sorts them according to the Item Placement setting, and then alphabetically by Title.
(If there are no matching items, the view apologises!)
The view contains five tabs:
The "Latest News" Tab
Shows only items where Placement: In which Letter? is set to either E-Letter or Both
and presents the full content of each News item in a list.
Latest News (summary) Tab
The same as Latest News, but presents a short teaser or summary version (a short paragraph and an image)
C&Y News and C&Y News (summary) Tabs
are counterparts of the two Latest News tabs,
but show items where Placement: In which Letter? is set to either C&Y Letter or Both.
Archive and C&Y Archive Tabs
displays summaries from all newsletter items that are published on the website, and has the following settable filters to allow searching:
- Placement - drop down list - the section in which the item appeared.
- Title contains - text box - enter some characters which the title of the item you are looking for contains.
See How to: create New Content or simply go to Create Content and click News Item.
