I have been strugling to implemnt my own solution for a while now.. sort of getting there now... =D I think the solution turned out ok. still have a lot of upgrade ideas though.. If anyone is interested, here is my solution... I have very much of the same things in mine solution..
And eatch page/news item have a list of Paragraphs. For now i have:
Then i have a category-page that just dig one level down and list the news elements. It have a page-property for how long the list shoulc be, and have a "page turn" functionality too.. I also have a main page that also include my two news sections (news and dealer news, witch i also configure in the pageproperty with an internal link) and some more.. I control the length of this list with a page porperty too, and end it with a link at the bottom of my two list to the correct category-page / "arkiv". I also alter the menu a bit for my needs. I wish to look at search too tough, hope that will be ok/ not too hard.. I also think that an A-Z list of news is not that important... What is important is date.. or a fixed order.. I wish i could make another editing page where i could search within the category and or filter somehow.. for easy access and to make it scale. In my opinion is the date the sorting order anyway, and only a few rare times you want to place an item on top etc over time.. (I use now 1 featured news item on top of my frontpage with bigger fonts etc..) Well if this sounds interesting let me know... By the way is there any for of nightly builds or something? Regards |

News publishing is typical feature for CMS, so i thing that priority for this module should be higher. |

Hi there, i have been working on some templates for a while, and are quite simple to use i think.. It is all done for Toyota and i have not had the resources to change it to a more "general" look and feel etc. Hopefully it still have some value to it |

Just a tip for the setup of pages... Inside (inside templat) + - news (category template) + - dealernews (category template) + - newsItems (news item template) RSS / xml feed |

Most of the functionality described here exists in the Enterprise Edition in one form or the other; additionally, the templates that have been attached to this issue provide (some of?) the functionality. It is therefore no longer considered to be an open issue. I suggest that if someone is interested to write a pure "news module" he'd do so using the 3.0 module mechanisms so that it is an easily installable extension. |

I'd be willing to write a generic news module. Could you point me to some documentation (posts, emails, JavaDocs, scraps of paper, etc.) that describe how to use the 3.0 module mechanism? Thanks. |
