Posting News

Some designs (Bright Flowers, Minimalistic and all business designs) have a news section. Each News Item in this section features a short title text, an optional link to a page and the date when it was added.

News Items usually exist in groups of two or more. Therefore, the content element you need to add to be able to add news items is named a News Group.
 

To add a News Group simply reach for the the Top Menu and select Add Content > More > News Group. Green rectangles will indicate the locations where a News Group may be added. Select the desired location by clicking on a green rectangle. The News Group will be added and a popup will open asking to add your first News Item.

When you add news, the State dropdown will always be prefilled with Shown option. News may be converted to Archived state only after you added them.

In Date you may type the date displayed for this news, or enter today's date by clicking Set Today link.

Type a short Title for your news and in Link dropdown select the page this News Item should link to. You may select an existing page, an external link or may add a new page. The page you selected here will be accessed using a 'More »' link automatically appended to the end of your News Item. If you select None in the Link dropdown - a 'More »' link will not be created.

Click Add and your News Item will be created.

To add more News Items to your News Group just roll over the News Group. Click on the  icon displayed on the top right, and green rectangles will prompt you to choose the location for your next News Item. Click a rectangle and another Add News window will open.

You may archive old news and make them accessible through an Archive link below your News section. To archive a News Item roll it over and click the  icon displayed on its top left. In the news properties popup change the State dropdown to Archived. Submit. The News Item will now be removed from the list of active news and will appear inside the linked Archive page.

Please note that you may have many News Groups added to your site, but all of them will display the same News Items. Any changes applied to the News Items in one News group will be automatically applied to the News Items in all other News Groups on the site.

To access all editing options for the News Groups and News Items roll over the News Group or Item and then roll over the blue  icon displayed on top left.

• To edit a News Group or Item choose Edit from the list of options or simply click the  icon. With some designs the News Groups will not have any properties.
• To move a News Group or Item select Move from the  icon options. Green rectangles will mark the locations where the group or item may be moved. Click the desired location.
• To delete a News Group or Item choose Delete. A Red rectangle will denote the item to be deleted.
• To hide a News Group or Item in end-user view but leave it in Admin view, choose Hide from viewers. Hidden groups or items will appear grayed in Admin. To make the group or item visible again, choose Show to viewers from the  icon options.
• To cut or copy and then paste a News Item choose Cut or Copy from the  icon options. From the  icon displayed on top select the cut/copied item and choose the location for pasting it by clicking on a green rectangle.
• To duplicate an item click the Duplicate option and a copy of the original News Item will be created.
• If you select several content elements you may cut, copy, paste, duplicate and delete them all at once. A pink rectangle will denote all items you selected and for which the desired action will be applied.
