News list

The news list can display news from archives or from labels with three different appearances:

• Gallery - Displays multiple news items in columns next to each other with the same height of the image.
• Hero - A single large news item is displayed with image and headline on a background plate on the image.
• List - Displays news in a list.

Selection

Show articles from all archives on the site

If you want to display from all archives on the site, select this option. This will show the most recently published articles on the site, regardless of where they are in the structure.

Show only articles from the following structures

If you want to show news only from certain structures on the site, select this option. Click the Add link to add the structures (sub-branches) you want to show news from.

Show only articles with the following tags

Enter a tag here if you want the news list to show only news items that are labeled with a specific tag.

Combine with values from user fields

If you have selected the labels you want to receive news about in a user field, select this option. This will be combined with the choice you made above - whether to show news from all archives, only certain structures or a particular label.

Use target audiences for selection

If you have used audiences when publishing your articles, here you can choose to display the news aimed at one or more audiences. You can also filter the news list and only show news linked to certain audiences.

Start by choosing your essay's audience metadata. This is the metadata that you use to target your articles.

Evaluate dynamically from users

By checking the box, you look at the logged-in user's audience affiliation and present news accordingly. The news in the module is thus adapted to the target group to which the user belongs.

Evaluate from predefined target groups

This option displays selected news for all users, regardless of their audience. When you select audiences, the news that matches the selected audiences will be displayed in the list. This allows you to filter the news displayed using audiences.

Count

Here you choose how many articles to display. The default setting is 10 articles.

Skip

Here you choose to skip one or more introductory articles.

Content

Show title

Tick this to display the heading from the article. That is, the text module called Heading.

Show preamble

Tick this to show the introduction from the article. That is, the text module called Ingress.

Max amount of visible characters

Here you choose how many characters of the preamble to display. The default setting is 200 characters.

Show publication date

Tick this to show the publication date. You can choose to display the publication date in different ways:

• Day month year - March 10, 2022
• Day month year time - March 10, 2022 12.50
• Year month day - 2022-03-10
• Show relative publication dates - for example "5 hours ago", "2 days ago".
• Custom date format - here you can format your date format yourself according to JavaSimpleDateFormat.

Show text from article

Check this to show the text from the article. That is, the text module called Content.

Show tags

Check this to display tags. They are printed with a colored plate. If you have set a display name for the tag, it will be displayed.

Use landing page with News list module for tags

If you check this, your labels become clickable. When the user clicks on the label, they will be taken to the page you point out here. Make sure this page has a News List that shows this label.

Show published by

Tick this to show who has published the article.

Select other user from metadata

If you do not want to print who published the article but instead, for example, the Page Manager, check this box. Select the metadata for the page manager.

Sort by

Here you can choose how your news list should be sorted. You can choose byPublished, Last published or Created.

Use link on title only

By default, Image, Title and Preamble are automatically linked to the article, so there will be three links with different link text for each article.

If you want a better option from an accessibility perspective, check this to link only the headline.
