This content type is for news stories and uses a tagging system to identify which faculty, subject or theme it belongs to so that it can be showcased via the content type 'news listing - blocks'.
Below is an example of how the content type looks like.
Note: remember to untick the 'show in navigation button' for these child pages as they shouldn't be accessible from the navigation bar.
Note: these news stories are 'content items' sitting within its 'items' section, therefore if you wish to link it from elsewhere on T4, remember to select "insert content link" rather than "insert section link".
Below are the essential fields to fill in for this content type:
Give the content type a name that will help you remember what it contains. This won't appear on the public webpage, only in T4.
This will be the name displayed on the news story.
Usually this should be filled in with the date and time of publishing the article on T4.
The main section of the news story.
The main image for the news story. Aim for a width of 640 pixels. To make sure the width is correct, when you make this image variant, under 'Crop type', select the 'resize' option (two arrows pointing diagonally away from each other). Enter 640 for the width (W) and the correct height will autofill.
Click on the white box and select from the drop down list the appropriate faculty, subject or theme (multiple can be selected if appropriate).
Make sure you have the appropriate permissions before publishing an image or video. This includes permission of the copyright holder and, in some cases, the permission of anybody in the image (eg a signed consent form). Find out more about this on our Images page.
Only on the new template.
