How to add a what news ticket?

Alexandre Bergel
Dear List,

I am figuring out how to add a new entry in the "what's new". But I  
haven't figured out how. What is wrong with the following steps?
        1 - login with my admin password
        2 - In the Sitemap, I select Blog. I see two entries : Down to  
business and Hello.
        3 - I add a post for which I filled the Author and the contents. My  
post is listed in the Blog part of the Sitemap
        4 - I go back to the main page (by clicking on NewSession for  
example). I do not see my post listed in the "What's new". Probably  
there is something wrong I have done so far.

I then though that maybe the "What's new" is limited to display only 2  
entries, starting from the oldest one (since I guess my post is newer  
than the two post per default). To verify this:
        5 - I select Blog and click on edit, I do not see such a hardcoded  
limitation of 2 posts, I click on setting, neither
        6 - I then try to remove the two previous post, hopping this will let  
my post appear. I click on "Down to business" and press the "remove"  
command.  "Down to business" is not listed in the site map anymore.
        7 - I click on Home or New Session, then I see the "Down to business"  
post listed in the What's new. Obviously I did not the right set of  
actions to remove a post.

Help welcomed :-)

Are the way to realize such feature stable? In the other word, I would  
be delighted to help the Pier community with providing SnapZpro video  
that shows basic features such as adding a page, removing one, adding  
a what's new.

By the way, how can I remove the Seaside development bar "New  
Session", "Configure", ... ?

Cheers,
Alexandre

Hi Alex,

There are two problems with the scenario you just mentioned. One  
problem is due to the Blog flow being not so explicit, and one due to  
you looking in the wrong part :)

1. You entered the news correctly in the blog. However, if you did not  
set the publication, it means that the blog post is just a draft. You  
see it in the Sitemap, because the child Post was added successfully,  
but you do not see it in the Blog page. I know, it's not that intuitive.

2. Now, suppose you do fill the publication field of the Post with the  
current date. The post will appear in the Blog, but it will still not  
appear in the main page. This is not a bug, it's actually a feature  
because the posts on the main page will only be updated for a new  
session.

You were right to go look for the settings, but you looked at the  
parameters of the blog. But, it's not the blog that is embedded in the  
main page. Please just follow the environment of the main page to see  
and track down how does the what's new items get there (similar to the  
process I explained in the previous mail). Let me know if it still  
isn't not working.

Movies would be welcome.

To remove the Seaside banner on the bottom, you have to set the  
Deployment Mode of the Seaside application to be true. For this:
- go to localhost:8080/seaside/config (login: admin/seaside)
- choose to Configure the pier application
- for the Deployment Mode entry choose override and then false
- save (at the bottom)

Cheers,
Doru

Thanks Doru,

It works!

I can add your answers to the Pier FAQ if someone provide the password.

Cheers,
Alexandre

Maybe drafts should have a different style, or say (draft) after their
title in the sitemap.
Or the Blog could display drafts when the user is logged with the
correct credentials (he's an author or editor), and display them with
a style that reflects their state. This way the Blog behaves as a
display for standard users, and a publishing interface for logged-in
authors.

I fail to see how that's a useful featureā€¦

Actually, me too :). I just wanted to say that it was done like this  
intentionally.

Cheers,
