Site News
Every site news a news page. This is where many return visitors will go to;
to see what has happened since they last visited. In fact, many sites are
now making their first page their news page.
Storing the Articles
LiBC also needs to have a news page. So, I created a !NewsArticles object, built
basically the same as the Document object. These are stored in a Folder
w/Customizer Support, and the CatalogTrigger added to the Data Plug-Ins page.
Displaying the News
The News page currently is a !ZTopic. The top-level search criteria is meta_type,
with "News Article" as the only requirement. Under there, there are/will be more
!ZTopics, such as "Site News", "LiBC News", and so on. These are searched on
the "Section", "Subject", "Category" properties on the !PropertySheets for the
News Article.
