Section Featured Article & Current Highlights

If you choose to, you can highlight or feature one article per section in a box on your SOCS front page.  If you choose not to have the article displayed in the box on the front page, the featured article will display with a more prominent appearance in the section to which it is assigned.  If there is an image in the featured article, the image will display and the text will be in a larger font.  The article will appear as the first article in the section.

You can also set the priority in which the articles appear within their section.  The lowest number equals the highest priority.  To set Current Highlights and change priorities:

•         Choose the appropriate date format (today, tomorrow or future date) from the “Features” menu.

•         The “Section Featured Articles For” (directly below Front Page Featured Articles), lists all sections and their corresponding articles.

•         Select which section you wish to view – leave the default All Sections to see a complete list of sections

 

 

•         By default the “Show on Front Page” box is checked for all Sections.  This means the Featured Article in any section will appear in the box on the front page of your site.   You have the option to:

•         “uncheck” all boxes for all sections and no article will show on the front page unless you check the box for the desired article(s)

•         Leave all boxes checked and uncheck only the ones you don’t want to appear on the front page

•         choose a specific section and automatically “uncheck” the box for the particular section

•         Check/uncheck the Show on Front Page boxes one by one.

To set Featured Articles

•         Check/uncheck the Show on Front Page box in the section you want to feature.  Click on “Edit Section Feature” and select the article you wish to highlight from the drop-down box.

•         Click “Update Feature” to return to the previous page. 

•         Click on “Save Changes”
