Adding News Items
News items are announcements/articles (distinct from events) that are easily accessible from the News Portlet, which automatically appears in the right-hand (third) column whenever news is published.
All news should be added to the the News folder, located at the root of the site (Click on Home > contents > News). To add a news item, use the add item menu and choose news item. This will bring you to the Edit News Item page. Available fields are Title (required), Description, Body Text, Image, Image Caption and Related Items. You can use the FCK editor to format the Body Text like any other page. The Image and Image Caption fields are for adding an image to be used as a "cover image" for the news item (for posting in news item listings). Cover Images appear in the view tab of the News Item and beside the item in the News folder, but only when the folder display is set to folder_summary_view. The cover image is independent from any images added using the FCK Editor. The system will determine the appropriate size for your cover image.
