Summary

The Publishing Platform allows you to create and manage news articles of interest to the UNH community and display them in UNH Today, which is available online at UNH Today.

How-To

Instructions

Step 1 - Navigate to your site home page and click on the Edit tab

Step 2 - Your UNH Today feed and topic page link are managed in a Paragraph. For this example, we will assume a Paragraph has already been created for this purpose.

Step 3 - Scroll down the Edit page to the list of Paragraphs near the bottom, identify the Paragraph you will be working with, and click on the Edit button.

Please note: If you are adding a new Paragraph for this purpose, choose the paragraph type Block and select USNH Publishing Platform Article List.

Also note: The UNH Today news section is typically stylized with a textured background. To achieve this, first create a One Column Paragraph, then format the background via the Styles tab, then add the UNH Today Article List Paragraph via the Edit Content tab.

Step 4 - Beginning on the "Edit Content" tab, fill in the Title field. We recommend using "Recent Stories" as the text for this field.

Step 5 - Next, choose the Display Format. We recommend using UNH IRP - Horizontal to produce a typical horizontal display of stories.

Step 6 - Next, choose the number of items to display. As mentioned previously, we recommend 3 to 5 items depending on how many news items are available at any given time, and whether news items are displayed vertically or horizontally.

Step 7 - In the "FILTER ARTICLES BY TAXONOMY TERMS" section, choose an appropriate Topic and, if applicable, choose an appropriate Tag.

Please note: If you have questions about which topics or tags to use, you can contact Web and Mobile Development - a link to the work request form is available at the end of this video.

Step 8 - Next, in the "More Items URL" section, type in your more items title in the "Title" field - we recommend using "View All News Stories" as the title - then add the URL to your topic page into the URL field, then choose "Open URL in a New Window."

Step 9 - After editing these content settings, click on the "Styles" tab and set the Heading Styles to "Caret - Centered, Dark Orange" as shown.

Upon completion of these steps, scroll down to the bottom of the Edit page and click on the Save button. The end result should be a display where your most recent news items appear as configured, along with a "more" link that opens a new window and takes you to the topic page showing your news items in UNH Today.
