HOW IT LOOKS:
after installing the plugin, your admins will gain access to a new panel, where they can create new news articles. Each article has:
- title
- brief description (shown on listings and on the main page)
- new's text
- icon (represents news on the listings and is shown on news view)
Title, brief description and description are multilingual - your users will see them in language they use (or in case news article is not translated, in language the news was input in)
Example of news:
When editing news, you can use a preview of previously uploaded image, as well as translation panel:
There are two mainpage widgets you can use, each can have different set of categories. You can define categories for a given mainpage widget in plugin's settins. If you don't define categories for a given widget, it will display all the news. Those widgets require vazco_mainpage to run:
