I am currently evaluating mojoPortal and am not finding some features so I could use some help.

One feature that is very import for our situation is the ability to add news articles and have a list of recent headlines display on the main page.  Ideally, we would just add a news item on a single page and both an index page and a recent headlines block would be automatically created.  I would also like something similar with feature articles and documents.  I just don't see a news module of any kind.

Also, is there a content search available?  I don't even see a way to search the forums, which made looking for answers to my questions pretty tedious.

Is this stuff available somewhere and I'm just not seeing it?  I want to migrate away from Plone, but I need some of the basics.

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll give that a try and see how it goes.  If the blog module works, I would think it would be useful to clone a copy as News to make this a bit more intuitive.

Also, how do I delete a site?  I followed the instructions in the FAQ and added the entry to web.config, but I still don't see a delete option.

Thx!

I was selecting a child site and didn't see it.  I found the problem, though.  The FAQ said to add the key, which I did, but I didn't notice that the key was already in web.config, just set to false.  I guess that must be a change from when the FAQ was written.

Thx again!

The blog is very configurable, you can make it show just excerpts and link to the full post, each post has its own url. Click the gear icon next to the title of the blog and you'll see a lot of settings to experiment with.

I use it for news on our intranet and it works well for my needs

HTH,

Ok, after working with the blog config a little, I got it so it simulates the news index page using excerpts.  That's promising!

Can someone help me with how to configure the Feed Manager to display the most recent news items from the "news" blog?  The documentation just shows examples for using it with some feed services, but not with MP content.  When I try plugging in the blog feed URL, I just get the following error:

We're sorry but a server error has occurred while trying to process your request.
The error has been logged and will be reviewed by our staff as soon as possible. It is possible that the error was just a momentary hiccup and you may wish to use the back button and try again or go back to the home page.
 

Hi Lisaf,

Can you more detail in setting feeder url in RSS Manager?

Thanks,
