News
You manage news items from a site's News page.
To open a News page, in the main menu, click Content » News.
The News page opens, displaying a list with all the news and actions you can perform on them.
Comments for news
On a News page, you can view all the comments for news by clicking Comments for news on the right panel.
For more information about comments, see Overview: Comments module.
Permissions for news
You can set permission for all news as well as individual permissions for each news item.
To change the permissions for all news, on a News page, click Permissions in the right panel.
The Permissions page opens.
For more information about permissions, see Administration: Global and section permissions
For information about setting individual permissions, see Administration: Permissions of individual items.
Custom fields and hidden default fields for news
There are many predefined fields that are not shown when creating a new record; that's because they are hidden. Once you have created your first news item, the right panel lets you 'turn on' these default fields as required, or even create your own.
Click Settings for news: Custom fields for news.
The News data fields page opens.
- Custom fields - You can create your own fields by clicking Add a field in the Custom fields section. You are guided through the various data types and the alternatives for how data is handled and labeled. For more information, see Overview: Custom fields.
- Default fields - Click on a defined field to edit it, then choose an option on the Appearance tab to specify that it will not be hidden.
Displaying news on your website
To display the news you have created on your website, you must use and configure the News widget.
