LocalGov Drupal News
====================

[](#localgov-drupal-news)

Provides the pages and navigation for presenting news articles. A part of the LocalGovDrupal distribution.

What is in it?
--------------

[](#what-is-in-it)

- Content types:
    - News article - a single news article, optionally categorised;
    - Newsroom - a landing page to list and feature news articles.
- Blocks:
    - News search form;
    - Facets - by default date and category.

Install process
---------------

[](#install-process)

- Standard Drupal module installation process applies.
- By default the search and facet blocks for news are shown in the view mode for the newsroom, and as blocks on all pages under the `news/*` path if you have the localgov\_base theme installed. Alternatively, add, or change the configuration for, these three blocks from the Drupal block layout admin page.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

- Create a Newsroom
    - Create one, or more, newsrooms for articles to go into.
    - A newsroom has a field in which it is possible to select 3 featured articles.
    - The Featured News block shows up to 3 featured articles - if there are fewer than 3 explicitly featured articles the remainder will be filled by the latest promoted articles (if any).
    - The Article List block will show 10 articles per page, excluding those in the featured block.
    - The limits (3 and 10) can be changed in the localgov\_news\_list view on the all\_news and featured\_news displays.
- Add news articles. By default:
    - The Categories field uses the LocalGov Topics vocabulary. Edit the field to use alternative or additional vocabularies.
    - Image is a required field - authors can upload a new image or select an image from the media library.
    - Article nodes are not promoted - see the Featured News section below.
    - Article aliases are: \[node:localgov\_newsroom:entity:url:path\]/\[node:localgov\_news\_date:date:html\_year\]/\[node:title\] thus prefacing the path with that of their newsroom, followed by year and sanitised title.

Structured data
---------------

[](#structured-data)

- The Schema.org Metatag module is used to generate structured data for individual news articles. This is rendered as JSON LD in the `` element.
