Administrator Matt Posted May 18, 2021 Administrator Share Posted May 18, 2021 Welcome everyone guests and members to our news system where you can see the news as an actual article. Example: This is an example to show the final results, and in the future the design might change to look even better. How to post news: It's very simple just like posting a new topic, yet there are some requirements that must be followed. Read our news guideline and template, and make sure you read it very carefully. Go to news from the main menu we have, and then you will see all news categories. Pick one of these categories, and then press on Add new news button. You will see: The only new thing you see in here is Article image Link and Related New. Article image Link: This field is required. In this field you must bring the image link from the article you are going to post, and it's very simple to do that. Just right click on the image, and pick copy image link. Make sure the image link is an image where it usually end with .jpg, .png, . jpeg etc... The image must not repeated in the article content, and only paste other images whenever they are available. Please see the example in the top of this post. Most the articles have images, and If the original article doesn't have any images, please use google to get an image where it shows it's related to this news. If the original article image is very small size or bad quality, please use google to replace it with another image where it shows it's related to this news. Related News: This field is optional and required at the same time. This field is optional whenever the article subject is a new subject, and hasn't posted yet. This field is required whenever the news article you wanted to share is already posted, and it's related to that article. (Don't post a related news article in the comment section, and each new news must be posted in a new topic). How to use this field: If you successfully found that the news article is already posted, you've located it on the news page on this forum, and the article you want to share is related to it then just type down the first letter in the field. It will search all news article that been posted, and once you find it just pick it. Please feel free to ask any questions or to suggest anything in this topic. Special thanks to @Karlston, @steven36, @aum, and @mood for bring us the best news to read, get new information, or educated about something new.

vissha Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 @MattI feel like "Article image Link" should be optional criteria. If made mandatory, then there may be duplicate topics due to delay in posting with alternate images. Also, this move might be seen to increase the SEO ratings in search using nsaners. As we see, nsaners used to be competitive in posting news/updates/releases. Hence, this would be a slow-goner. Suggestion: I'd suggest rather create a search within the field to look for images as we do for emoticons/emojis. Or make tags mandatory and let the AI to get the related image to fill in.

aum Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Also a suggestion: the news topics should show up in recent topics (otherwise it takes away the importance of some "breaking" news.) Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vissha Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Creating new topic in any news section temporarily unavailable. Please fix ASAP. Or open up General News and then the topics could be migrated. Why delay content posting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are missing the main point of it which it's for related work on the same project, and it will be released soon. Also, this is only to separate the image link form the content in order to give the results of what you are seeing in any news topic.

aum Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 In the new news forums, could the default "Sort By" be changed from "Start Date" to "Last Updated" please? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Matt Posted May 21, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted May 21, 2021 @aum It's possible, but I didn't change it. If you make changes to a topic you started after a month, it will show as it was a new topic in the begging. I fixed what you asked for by changing the descending order in order to show last news topic in the begging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what was needed (as I thought of the problem with the 'latest updates' you mentioned.) Great forethought with right and correct implementation. Kudos @Matt!

Kalju Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 If already have been given the opportunity to ask questions and / or make suggestions, my modest suggestion would be to make the menu similar to the "Activity" and "Browse" menus, ie so that can already choose which subtopic to view from the submenu. At moment must open site to see subtopics, if then open some subtopic, it opens on the same table and if after that sombody wants open another topic, must again open the news site and only after that can open new subtopic. If there is everything in submenus available, its much simple to open another news topics. That's what I wanted to recommend. Thank You for your attention.

tarekma7 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I have 2 comments: First why add image is mandatory, some news have no image and it will add no meaning to the news topic, also why using a separate field and not add it through insert image option already present Second: is there an option to automatically resize images posted in the topic?

Yes. Members now must use above rules in order to post news which it's just the same as the usual with a view updates. We added template to the news in order to have instructions on how to post news for new members who would like to share important articles. 17 hours ago, tarekma7 said: First why add image is mandatory, some news have no image and it will add no meaning to the news topic, also why using a separate field and not add it through insert image option already present Well for too many reasons. Why mandatory and using a separate field ? Because it's important for news new look (For the same purpose). 17 hours ago, tarekma7 said: Second: is there an option to automatically resize images posted in the topic? Yes. It will automatically resize the image from that image link source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLowrie Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I'm glad to see the new news system. I like the new system. But to be honest, if I want to read the news, I don't choose to read it on the forum.😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
