Nieuwspagina's
A newspage looks a lot like a "standard page". The difference is, you can't insert text yourself inside the main content of the page. The newspage takes care of its own content on the basis of the properties you specified. A newspage makes an overview of your news messages, and can present complete messages. It is also possible for the newspage to create a complete news archive for you. The lay out for this, is determined according to the design of your website. Below you can see an overview of all properties and how they work:
Template
The template determines, just as in case of a "Standard page", the general lay out of your newspage.
Feeds
You can select one or more feeds from the nieuwssysteem for your newspage to show.
Display/ Layout
The tab "Display" first offers you the possibility to choose a layout. The layout determines, independent of the choosen template, what the page looks like. If only one layout is available, this option will be disabled.
Display / Settings
First you can choose how many highlighted messages should be displayed (0 for none). Highlighted messages usually are displayed above the other images, and with other markup. It is possible that the choosen lay out doesn't display hightlighted messages. If the number of highlighted messages is greater than the number you set, those highlighted messages will be displayed chronologically as normal messages.
You can set up the number of "normal messages" to display, with a combination of Days to display and Display limit.
If the property "Days to display" is set to 0 (zero), then this property is ignored. In that case, the property "Display limit" determines the maximum number of messages to display.
If the property "Days to display" is not zero, then this property determines until how many days back, messages are displayed. Also, in this case, the "Display limit" determines the maximum number of messages to display per day. Setting it to 0 (zero) means, no limit is applied.
If you set both properties to 0 (zero), no messages will be displayed.
With the property Agenda display you can change the behaviour of the display. Normally, alle publiced messages with a date and time before the moment of display, are being displayed. If you activate "Agenda display", all messages with a date and time after the moment van display, will be displayed.
If an image is linked to the a news message, it can be displayed according to the lay out. You can choose an image format to be used for the news overview and message display. You can do this with the options Overview image format en Message image format.
Archive
First you have to activate the archive. You can do this by marking the option Display link to archive in navigation. The archive consists of two parts. First, an overview of the most recent messages. Secondly, visitors are able to navigate through the archive one month at a time. You can set the range of both of them with respectively Recent messages in archive and Months to display.
Finally, you can enter the Title for months inside a text box. The format for the variables inside these titles (%-sign plus alphabetic character) is rather strange. Contact us, if you want to change this.
