News Manager

The News Manager helps you create and manage news items for your organization's website. You can display news in various formats and link to additional information.

Creating News Items

1. Access: The News Manager homepage shows existing news items. Add new items at the top and manage categories at the bottom.
2. Visibility: Use the "Show" checkbox to control whether a news item is public or a draft.
3. Timing: Set a publish date (or publish immediately) and an optional expiration date.
4. Content: Add a headline, a brief description, and link to full content (internal or external).
5. Organization: Assign categories and add a thumbnail image.

Public News Article Submission

1. Enable: Activate public submissions in the News Manager settings, specify a notification email, and optionally restrict to members.
2. Access: When enabled, members can submit articles through their member dashboard or a public link.
3. Review: Submitted articles are sent to the specified email and appear in the "View Pending Articles" section.
4. Action: Approve articles to add them to the main list or deny them to remove them. Pending articles can be edited and published.

Note: News Manager differs from Press Releases, which are for member-submitted news.
