Description
News Feed is a component that displays a collection of articles from witin AEM or an IIS feed for easy viewing.
Authoring
The News Feed component is a great way to show recent articles on a home page or landing page.
Configuring the Properties tab
- Configure a Press Release or News Feed of a collection of news articles within AEM.
- If the former, configure the agencies and categories filters and set a date range (optional)
- Enter the dynamic page path for the dynamic press release display page.
- If the latter, enter the AEM news article root path and filter by news type tag as needed. To do so, you need to navigate to /State of Illinois/ILGAgency/[Your agency's acronym]/News Type, which is a tags folder storing all your agencies' news type tags.
- Configure the number of news articles you want to display.
- Enter the view more link, which should usually go to the search news page.
- Enter the view more text.
- Enter a message for the no data fetched scenario.
Configuring the Styles
Once you have the News Feed on your page, you can click the style icon to select from a variety of styling options:
News Feed Style Options:
- Default (With Thumbnails) displays the news feed with a thumbnail, Title, Category, Description, and Date
- Without Thumbnail: displays the news feed like the default, only without a thumbnail.
- Title Only Dark Text: a streamlined feed of news showing only Title and Date
- Title Only White Text: streamlined to show only Title and Date, and designed to place on a Dark Background Color.
Division Style Options:
- Separator Between Items: places a single line to separate items in the feed
- Zebra Striped Items: places each item in the feed in an alternating color container. (Please note that zebra striped styling should not be used in combination with the "White Text" option.)
