NewsArticles

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.
