Site News
The News module allows administrators to create, manage, and publish news articles on the website. News can be organized into categories, scheduled for publication, and displayed on designated News pages. Each news article supports rich text content, images, multilingual URLs, publication scheduling, and optional call-to-action buttons.
In addition to creating news articles, the News module also provides supporting features for managing reusable content, organizing categories, and configuring news-related settings.
The News module consists of the following sections:
- News – Create, edit, publish, and manage website news articles.
- Content Service – Manage reusable content that can be selected when creating a news article, allowing content to be reused instead of recreated from scratch.
- Categories – Create and manage news categories for organizing articles.
- Settings – Configure the Facebook Page IDs that can be used when publishing news articles to Facebook.
