Design Library - News Headline

The News Headline Component uses a combination of two Content Types. The Content Type 'Design Library - News Headline Header' should appear at the start on the section and is followed by the Content Type 'Design Library - News Headline'. Each 'Design Library - News Headline' represents one News Item. There are two options for displaying the Component, 'Slider' or 'Grid'.

Design Library - News Headline Header

Contains a field for a 'Name', 'Title', 'Layout' (Slider or Grid) and an option for three Background Colours ('Left Yellow and Green, Light Grey Background', 'Right Yellow and Green, Light Grey Background' and 'Right Yellow and Green, Light White Background').

To utilise the automatic headline management features select "Yes" for the "Published?" field. Then select the news section you would like to pull the news headlines from using the "Source" field. Only published news in the selected section using the Design Library - News Item content type will recognised by the automated system.

When using the automated news headline features you can use the Design Library - News Headline content type to pin a high priority news item to the top of the list.

Design Library - News Headline

This Content Type displays each News Headline. The Content Type contains fields for 'Name', 'Headline' (News Item Headline), 'Detail' (Short description of News Item), an Internal or External link, 'Image' (with dimensions of 450px x 280px) and an option to display a 'Date' on the News Item.

If you are using the automated news headline features mentioned above you will not need to use this content type.
