[Initial] News

(1/1)

Trekkie101:
News is located in the News and Newsletters section of the "Main" category in the Administration Center. It serves as the control point for editing and displaying news or announcements in the news box/fader of an SMF forum.

News items can be added at the bottom of the screen by selecting "Click here to add another item". Upon creation of a new item, a blank box will be added to the display.

News items should be written into the boxes and generally be short in length to avoid the members browser from adding scroll bars to the news box. News items can contain full BBCode, Smileys and HTML. Simply enter the content desired into the box and select "Save" to make the changes live.

News items can be edited by changing the content in the box and selecting "Save". Marking the checkboxes and selecting "Remove Selected" will remove all news items marked and remove them from active rotation.

In the Settings tab, an Administrator can select which membergroups can edit, add or remove news from the forum. Select the membergroups by marking the checkbox and then select save.
