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", ... ?

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 On Nov 8, 2008, at 4:05 PM, Alexandre Bergel wrote: > Dear List, > > I am figuring out how to add a new entry in the "what's new".

Thanks Doru,
It works! I can add your answers to the Pier FAQ if someone provide the password.

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. > 2. Now, suppose you do fill the publication field of the Post with the > current date.

I just wanted to say that it was done like this intentionally.
