What is it :::
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NewsDesk is based on 3 files from the osC system. general.php (I had to change many of the functions to compensate for the different table and
column names). catagories.php and catagory_info.php (These are the grunt files that I changed to run a news system.)
NewsDesk is also based on latest_news by Will Mays <fred@volutin.net>. I had orginally started hacking his script to include images and
languages but I kept having troubles due to my lack of programming skills. I did use some of his ideas, news image button and parts of his
instalation guide.
Features :::
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being based on catagories, you can expect alot!
- News is stored in the database.
- Full Mutlilingual support.
- code is (far as I know) fully osC standardized
- Fits right in on the top page of the site like the "New Products for February" box ;-) NewsDesk was released in February.
- Like lastest_news it won't display news if status is set to "inactive aka red"
- headline, summary, image, [read more] link on top page
- [read more] full content page
- News is full controlled by the admin area which looks and behaves just like the catagories/products section does.
- status setting "red/green" to make articles active and inactive.
- drop down menu to jump to catagory quickly
- searchable news articles
- picture upload
- preview page just in case you flub-up ;-)
